Outsourcing family visa processes: the role of non-state actors in migration border management.
Abstract
The project investigates the effect of visa outsourcing policies on refugee families and their family reunification process. It explores the visa outsourcing policies and practices of implementation of two or more European countries (e.g. Belgium and Italy). The PhD candidate will conduct comparative policy analysis and multi-sited ethnographic research in visa centres and consular offices in transit countries. Innovatively, the researcher will conduct ethnographic research both with visa officers and with different members of refugee families living between Europe and transit countries.Researcher(s)
