Transnationalism from above and below: Migration management and how migrants manage (MIGMA)

The formative idea of migration management is the possibility of a
'win-win-win' scenario of positive outcomes for countries of origin and
destination as well as for migrants. This glosses over the multiple conflicts
involved within and between states and between states and migrants.
Consequently, it also glosses over the often limited capability of seemingly
powerful host states to actually manage migration. The proposed research
project examines the attempts of Norway, Denmark and Italy of excising
Nigerian rejected asylum seekers from its territory through the combined
use of assisted return and deportation, enacting a project of exclusion in the
pursuit of governance.
