This project examines the development, implementation, and geography of public information campaigns (PICs) as a strategy of border enforcement. Managing the transnational flow of people is one of the greatest challenges facing nation-states in the 21st century, requiring governments to negotiate complex issues of sovereignty, national security, and human safety and well being. PICs present a potentially promising approach to regulating transnational mobility as they are often less expensive and easier to implement than traditional enforcement strategies. However, little is known about the use of PICs as a strategy of border enforcement. This project contributes to research in the field of political geography by producing new empirical data on an under-examined enforcement mechanism, while also contributing to theoretical understandings of how nation-states govern. The findings of this project will have implications for national security, ensuring that border enforcement efforts are effective, economically efficient, and safe. The dissemination plan, including a publicly available website and StoryMap, will enable public engagement and science communication while also providing easily accessible information for migration research and education. Graduate research assistants within the project team will also promote the development and training of a diverse and competitive workforce in the geographical sciences. This project has three objectives: 1) to trace the development of PICs as a strategy of border enforcement; 2) to map the spatial and institutional frameworks through which PICs have been created and distributed and how these distribution networks relate to the form, content, and effectiveness of campaigns; and 3) to identify the role PICs play in producing political geographies of border enforcement. A mixed-methods, comparative approach is used to achieve these objectives. Research methods include textual analysis, semi-structured interviews, and geo-visualization techniques that combines quantitative and qualitative data sets. A comparative approach is useful when examining border and immigration enforcement strategies for it illustrates the nuances of enforcement in distinct contexts, while also providing insight into how national governments communicate and collaborate. Comparison of case studies in the US and Australia will enable the researchers to explore how specific cultural, economic, political, and geographic contexts affects the development and implementation of PICs as a mechanism of border enforcement, illuminating the potential of this strategy across contexts and providing insight on the best practices for effectively mobilizing PICs as an enforcement strategy.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

本项目考察了作为边境执法战略的公共信息运动（PICs）的发展、实施和地理位置。管理人员的跨国流动是21世纪民族国家面临的最大挑战之一，需要各国政府就主权、国家安全以及人类安全和福祉等复杂问题进行谈判。与传统的执法战略相比，PICs往往成本更低，实施起来也更容易，因此可能是监管跨国流动的一种有前景的方法。然而，人们对使用非法移民作为边境执法策略知之甚少。该项目为政治地理学领域的研究做出了贡献，为未被充分研究的执法机制提供了新的经验数据，同时也为民族国家如何治理的理论理解做出了贡献。该项目的研究结果将对国家安全产生影响，确保边境执法工作有效、经济高效和安全。传播计划，包括一个公开的网站和故事地图，将促进公众参与和科学传播，同时也为移民研究和教育提供易于获取的信息。项目团队内的研究生研究助理也将促进地理科学领域多样化和有竞争力的劳动力的发展和培训。该项目有三个目标：1)追踪作为边境执法战略的拘留中心的发展；2)绘制出创建和分配公共安全保障项目的空间和制度框架，以及这些分配网络与活动的形式、内容和有效性之间的关系；3)确定边境执法人员在产生边境执法政治地理方面的作用。采用混合方法和比较方法来实现这些目标。研究方法包括文本分析、半结构化访谈和结合定量和定性数据集的地理可视化技术。在审查边境和移民执法战略时，比较方法是有用的，因为它说明了不同背景下执法的细微差别，同时也提供了对各国政府如何沟通和合作的见解。通过对美国和澳大利亚的案例研究进行比较，研究人员可以探索特定的文化、经济、政治和地理环境如何影响作为边境执法机制的非法移民的发展和实施，阐明这一战略在不同背景下的潜力，并为有效调动非法移民作为一种执法战略的最佳实践提供见解。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
