Séminaire du groupe de recherche Migrations et mobilités du CERI

Ce séminaire de recherche mensuel fait suite au groupe Migrations et relations internationales qui a donné lieu à la publication de l’ouvrage La question migratoire au XXIe siècle.

Le groupe Migrations et mobilités a organisé le colloque de l’Association européenne de sociologie (ESA, groupe Migrations) les 3 et 4 septembre 2012. Parmi les invités figuraient Helen Drake (Loughborough University) et Sue Collard (Sussex University), Jean-Michel Lafleur (CEDEM, Université de Liège), Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos (IRD/CEPED), Hervé Le Bras (INED et EHESS), Catherine Delcroix (Université de Strasbourg), Françoise Lorcerie (CNRS, MMSH), Nam Kook Kim , Jungmee Hwang, Jeong-Hen Han (Université de Séoul), Danièle Joly (CRER, Université de Warwick et CADIS/EHESS), Andreï Korobkov et Jean-Baptiste Meyer (Middle Tennessee University et IRD), Dietrich Thränhardt (Université de Munster), Oleg Korneev (Université de Tomsk), Bayram Balci et Adeline Braux (CERI et INALCO).
Le groupe a également organisé un colloque sur la place des migrations dans la construction de la communauté politique en Catalogne qui a fait l’objet d’un numéro de la revue Migrations Société (« Immigration en Catalogne : politiques et société », Vol. 23, n°134-135, mars 2011).

Scholars of international migration increasingly analyze the role of states in shaping migration flows and the determinants of those state policies. However, explaining policies simply by examining processes within a particular country or comparing policies in different countries without examining their influences on each other would miss the essential role played by “policy convergence”, “transfer”, and “diffusion”. Institutionalist scholars seek to understand the mobility of policies across national and organizational units. Despite advances in understanding these processes, fundamental questions remain about the mechanisms and conditions under which they operate and the relative causal weight of diffusion as an explanation for policy variation. This paper draws on an analysis of ethnic selection in immigration and nationality laws in 22 countries in the Western Hemisphere from 1790-2010, as well as on country and international organization case studies, to make three major contributions to a political sociology of immigration policy diffusion. First, the construction of an immigration policy database of unprecedented temporal and geographic scope is combined with in-depth archival work. This methodology reveals broad patterns of policy diffusion and a fine-grained assessment of the strength of distinct mechanisms of diffusion relative to each other. Second, it show cycles of interaction between external influences on policies and processes that were internal to the nation-state, rather than privileging a priori the importance of either diffusion or internal factors. In doing so, it establishes the foreign policy conditions under which diffusion tends to be more consequential for policymaking. Third, by analyzing power asymmetries as an axis that cuts across all mechanisms of diffusion, it identifies a little-known mechanism of effective policy leverage by weaker states and establishes the conditions under which this mechanism is most likely to operate.
