Seeing illegal immigrants: state monitoring and political rationality

Few countries regularly estimate the number of illegal residents on their territory, and governments tend to be reticent about collecting and publishing data on the control of illegal residence or employment. This project will investigate how countries ¡°see¡± illegal immigrants through the following sets of questions: which forms of illegality do states monitor, and which are left unscrutinised? What sorts of techniques and practices do public authorities use to monitor illegal residents? And what do monitoring practices tell us about the type of political rationality informing state monitoring practices ¨C what we term state ¡®logics of monitoring¡¯? The study will be the first to systematically map, compare and account for the practices and technologies utilised in different European countries to monitor illegal immigrants. By comparing these processes in three countries ¨C the UK, France and Germany ¨C the team will be able to better understand how public authorities decide which aspect of illegal immigration to observes, and which to overlook. Through the study, researchers hope to foster more informed debate on the ethics and politics of immigration control.
