Abstract

Some migration literature present a predominant state role, whilst others convey that globalization and transnationalism have resulted in reduced state power. There is ambiguity regarding the receiving state influence, especially compared to individuals, in migration decisions. To fill this gap, I suggest a conceptual theoretical approach for analyzing the migrant-state relationship within democratic regimes of migratory control. Through a political economy lens, I define which political and legal aspects are necessary and sufficient conditions during the migrant trajectory. State decisions dictate who migrates and destinations continue to attempt to control migration through what I define as ‘post-migratory bureaucracy.’ Examining how state limits affect individuals’ agency allows for supplementary research of immigrants’ incorporation.
