项目摘要

This project aims to theorise the increasingly common, yet under-examined, use of migration as a foreign policy instrument by bringing work on economic sanctions into conversation with the literature on the politics of cross-border mobility. With a focus on migration into, out of, and across the Middle East, MOBSANCT proposes a novel framework of "mobility sanctions" to explain the rationale behind a range of processes, including Turkish use of Syrian refugees to elicit European financial and political concessions, and to gage their likelihood of success.There exists a lack of a comprehensive framework incorporating the use of both forced and labour migration as an instrument of interstate leverage by Western and non-Western countries alike. MOBSANCT addresses this key gap by focusing on the seven countries involved in largest waves of migration into, out of, and across the Middle East (France, Germany, India, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates). It identifies how they served as senders or targets of "mobility sanctions," as well as the determinants of sanctions' success, in the 1945-2021 period. The project is methodologically innovative in combining Qualitative Comparative Analysis and process tracing in order to address the cases' complexity in a systematic manner that establishes relations of sufficiency and necessity between (combinations of) conditions and certain outcomes.With an interdisciplinary approach bridging international relations and migration studies, MOBSANCT argues against problematic "sending," "transit," and "host" state conceptualisations, while repositioning the Global South as central to theory development on the politics of cross-border mobility. MOBSANCT offers the first global dataset on the use of labour and forced migration as an instrument of foreign policy, while building a straightforward theoretical framework for policymakers that enables the design of effective responses to migration and refugee crises.

该项目旨在通过将经济制裁工作与跨境流动政治文献进行对话，对日益普遍但未经充分审查的移民作为外交政策工具的使用进行理论化。 MOBSANCT 重点关注进出中东和穿越中东的移民，提出了一个新颖的“流动制裁”框架，以解释一系列进程背后的理由，包括土耳其利用叙利亚难民来获得欧洲的金融和政治让步，并衡量他们成功的可能性。目前缺乏一个全面的框架，将强迫移民和劳务移民作为西方和非西方国家的州际影响力的工具。 MOBSANCT 通过关注进入、离开和跨越中东的最大移民浪潮的七个国家（法国、德国、印度、约旦、沙特阿拉伯、土耳其和阿拉伯联合酋长国）来解决这一关键差距。它确定了 1945 年至 2021 年期间他们如何充当“流动性制裁”的发送者或目标，以及制裁成功的决定因素。该项目在方法上具有创新性，将定性比较分析和过程追踪相结合，以系统的方式解决案例的复杂性，建立条件（组合）与某些结果之间的充分性和必要性关系。在移民研究中，MOBSANCT 反对有问题的“发送”、“过境”和“东道”国家概念化，同时将全球南方重新定位为跨境流动政治理论发展的中心。 MOBSANCT 提供了第一个关于使用劳动力和强迫移民作为外交政策工具的全球数据集，同时为政策制定者构建了一个简单的理论框架，以便能够设计出有效应对移民和难民危机的措施。
