About The Book

In this comparative study of the contemporary politics of deportation in Germany and the United States Antje Ellermann analyzes the capacity of the liberal democratic state to control individuals within its borders. The book grapples with the question of why in the 1990s Germany responded to vociferous public demands for stricter immigration control by passing and implementing far-reaching policy reforms while the United States failed to effectively respond to a comparable public mandate. Drawing on extensive field interviews Ellermann finds that these crossnational differences reflect institutionally determined variations in socially coercive state capacity. By tracing the politics of deportation across the evolution of the policy cycle beginning with anti-immigrant populist backlash and ending in the expulsion of migrants by deportation bureaucrats Ellermann is also able to show that the conditions underlying state capacity systematically vary across policy stages.
