The Digital Border : Migration, Technology, Power
How do digital technologies shape the experiences and meanings of migration?As the numbers of people fleeing war, poverty, and environmental disaster reach unprecedented levels worldwide, states also step up their mechanisms of border control.In this, they rely on digital technologies, big data, artificial intelligence, social media platforms, and institutional journalism to manage not only the flow of people at crossing-points, but also the flow of stories and images of human mobility that circulate among their publics. What is the role of digital technologies is shaping migration today?How do digital infrastructures, platforms, and institutions control the flow of people at the border? And how do they also control the public narratives of migration as a “crisis”?Finally, how do migrants themselves use these same platforms to speak back and make themselves heard in the face of hardship and hostility? Taking their case studies from the biggest migration event of the twenty-first century in the West, the 2015 European migration “crisis” and its aftermath up to 2020, Lilie Chouliaraki and Myria Georgiou offer a holistic account of the digital border as an expansive assemblage of technological infrastructures (from surveillance cameras to smartphones) and media imaginaries (stories, images, social media posts) to tell the story of migration as it unfolds in Europe’s outer islands as much as its most vibrant cities. This is a story of exclusion, marginalization, and violence, but also of care, conviviality, and solidarity.Through it, the border emerges neither as strictly digital nor as totally controlling.Rather, the authors argue, the digital border is both digital and pre-digital; datafied and embodied; automated and self-reflexive; undercut by competing emotions, desires, and judgments; and traversed by fluid and fragile social relationships—relationships that entail both the despair of inhumanity and the promise of a better future.

Migration and Development
In the last decade there has been an explosion of interest in the relationship between migration and development.In particular, there has been much excitement about the potential for migration to make a positive contribution to development and concern about ensuring that development reduces the need for people to migrate.The ensuing ‘buzz’ has created much discussion but it is often surrounded by conceptual confusion and simplistic analyses.This volume will introduce the reader to the debates about migration and development and provide a critical overview drawing on insights from case studies of particularly migration practices, development interventions and policy initiatives from different regions of the world.The text begins by situating the recent burst of interest in broader historical currents of development discourse, examining some of the intellectual and political factors that have brought it to the surface now.It introduces the main elements of migration theory as it has been applied in the developing regions of the world, before presenting the theories proposing causal relationships between migration and development.The book will then explore these interactions in more detail by focusing on some of the key concepts that underpin much of the discussion, in particular remittances, diasporas and human capital.A central argument of the book will be that migration must be seen as intimately related to development and change rather than as a symptom of development failure.An exception is perhaps provided with the movement of refugees and other forced migrants and a chapter will examine the extent to which it is helpful to distinguish forced and voluntary migration in relation to development.The final section will critically review how the migration and development discourse has been adopted by policy makers in a range of initiatives.The book will conclude by reflecting on how the development and migration debate remains incoherent and contradictory in many respects.It will argue that migration brings a challenge to sedentary notion of development that has yet to be taken seriously by development scholars.Each chapter will include case studies from different parts of the world to illustrate the points being made.In contrast to much of the current literature on migration and development, each chapter will consider both internal and international migration

Digital Migration
"A revelation for digital researchers and a provocation for migration scholars… It introduces an insightful, inspiring, and inviting way of making sense of the messiness without losing hope of changing things." - Nishant Shah, Chinese University of Hong Kong "A must read for everyone who is concerned with questions of human mobility, media and communications and the digital border." - Myria Georgiou, LSE "A much-needed addition to scholarship on mobility, technology, and migration… The book is poised to become a touchstone text." - C.L.Quinan University of Melbourne In contemporary discussions on migration, digital technology is often seen as a 'smart' disruptive tool.Bringing efficiencies to management, and safety to migrants.But the reality is always more complex. This book is a comprehensive and impassioned account of the relationship between digital technology and migration.From 'top-down' governmental and corporate shaping of the migrant condition, to the 'bottom-up' of digital practices helping migrants connect, engage and resist. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Digital Migration explores: The power relations of digital infrastructures across migrant recruitment, transportation and communication. Migrant connections and the use of digital devices, platforms and networks. Dominant digital representations of migrants, and how they’re resisted. The affect and emotion of digital migration, from digital intimacy to transnational family life. How histories of pre and early-digital migration help us situate and rethink contemporary research. The realities of researching digital migration, including interviews with leading international researchers. Critical yet hopeful, Koen Leurs opens up the unequal power relations at the heart of digital migration studies, challenging us to imagine more just alternatives. Koen Leurs is an Associate Professor in Gender, Media and Migration Studies at the Graduate Gender Program, Department of Media and Culture, Utrecht University, the Netherlands. All author royalties for this book will be donated to the Alarm Phone, a hotline for boatpeople in distress.

Do you have examples of internal migration and external migration?
Internal migration refers to the movement of people within a country, such as individuals moving from rural areas to urban centers for better job opportunities. An example of internal migration is the movement of people from the Midwest to the Sun Belt region in the United States. External migration, on the other hand, involves the movement of people across international borders. An example of external migration is the influx of Syrian refugees into neighboring countries like Turkey and Lebanon due to the ongoing conflict in Syria. Both internal and external migration have significant impacts on the demographics, economies, and cultures of the regions involved.

What is the difference between internal migration and international migration?
Internal migration refers to the movement of people within the borders of a country, such as moving from one city to another within the same country. International migration, on the other hand, involves the movement of people across international borders, such as moving from one country to another. Internal migration is typically driven by factors such as job opportunities, education, or lifestyle preferences within a country, while international migration is often driven by factors such as economic opportunities, political instability, or seeking asylum in another country. Both types of migration have significant impacts on the societies and economies of the places involved.

What is a possible research question on the topic of migration?
One possible research question on the topic of migration could be: "What are the social, economic, and cultural impacts of migration on both sending and receiving countries?" This question would allow for an exploration of the multifaceted effects of migration on different aspects of society, including labor markets, social cohesion, and cultural diversity. It could also involve a comparative analysis of different migration patterns and policies in various countries to understand the similarities and differences in their impacts.

What are migration steps?
Migration steps refer to the process of moving from one place to another, typically for better opportunities or living conditions. These steps can include planning the move, obtaining necessary documentation, finding a new place to live, securing employment, and integrating into the new community. Migration steps can vary depending on the individual's circumstances, such as whether they are moving within the same country or to a different country altogether. It is important to carefully consider each step to ensure a smooth and successful transition.

Research Methodologies and Ethical Challenges in Digital Migration Studies : Caring For (Big) Data?
This Open Access book investigates the methodological and ethical dilemmas involved when working with digital technologies and large-scale datasets in relation to ethnographic studies of digital migration practices and trajectories.Digital technologies reshape not only every phase of the migration process itself (by providing new ways to access, to share and preserve relevant information) but also the activities of other actors, from solidarity networks to border control agencies.In doing so, digital technologies create a whole new set of ethical and methodological challenges for migration studies: from data access to data interpretation, privacy protection, and research ethics more generally.Of specific concern are the aspects of digital migration researchers accessing digital platforms used by migrants, who are subject to precarious and insecure life circumstances, lack recognised papers and are in danger of being rejected and deported.Thus, the authors call for new modes of caring for (big) data when researching migrants’ digital practices in the configuration of migration and borders.Besides taking proper care of research participants’ privacy, autonomy, and security, this also spans carefully establishing analytically sustainable environments for the respective data sets.In doing so, the book argues that it is essential to carefully reflect on researchers’ own positioning as being part of the challenge they seek to address.
