Border Migration Policies in Democratic and Autocratic Regimes

This panel will explore the diverse strategies employed by democratic and autocratic regimes in implementing border migration policies. The panel invites scholarly contributions that examine and compare the strategies, effectiveness, and implications of border fortification and security systems in different political contexts. We seek papers that provide case studies from various regions and offer insights from multiple social science perspectives, with the goal of enriching our understanding of how democratic and autocratic regimes manage the complex landscape of migration and border control.
