Immigration is a contentious political issue. Efforts to stem immigration, while applauded by some, can impose costs on citizens. Do voters reward or punish such actions even when they infringe on democratic freedoms? We tackle this question in the context of the migration crisis that unfolded on the Poland-Belarus border in 2021.
This event is co-hosted by the NYU Department of Politics. It is part of their Comparative Politics Speaker Series. Note that the location for this event is different: NYU Department of Politics (19 West 4th Street 2nd Floor, Room 217).
