Ellermann, Antje
Antje Ellermann is Professor of Political Science and Founder and Co-Director of the Centre for Migration Studies at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. She specializes in comparative politics and comparative public policy, in particular in the area of immigration, with a regional focus on Europe and North America. Her past research, which was funded by the U.S. Social Science Research Council, examined the comparative politics of deportation in Germany and the United States. Her findings show that cross-national variation in deportation outcomes reflects significant – and institutionally determined – differences in the capacity of these two states to implement coercive, and politically contested, policies.
