Item Transcending the Migration Security Dilemma: A Critical Emancipatory Analysis of Irregular Economic Migration Policy(2020-05) Daniels, Adi; Singer, Eric; Martin, Flo; Barquiero, Carla; CENTER FOR PEOPLE, POLITICS, & MARKETS; Bachelor's DegreeThe phenomena of undocumented migrant labor, or irregular economic migration, has become conentious topic in migration studies and global migration policy. Within International Relations, liberal and realist mainstream approaches to irregular economic migration focus on ways to reduce irregular flow of labor between borders, especially low-skilled labor, on the basis of prioritizing state-security. This research aims to firstly apply the critical concept of emancipation and emancipatory security to the context of irregular economic migration in order to ensure the security of these migrants. Additionally, the research applies constructivist concepts, especially that of ‘discipline,’ to problematize the behavior of state and intergovernmental institutions towards irregular economic migrants. Based on a review of the literature in critical security studies and critical constructivism in regards to migration, this research finds alternatives to state-essentialist approaches to migration that view the emancipation of migrants as mutually beneficial for them and state citizens.Item The United States policy toward Iran and Saudi Arabia(2017) Bierly, Katherine; Political Science; International StudiesThis thesis will try to understand what the differences in policy between the United States is with Saudi Arabia and Iran and how the policies influence the relationship.
