| Abstract: | The overarching topic of this study is digital migration management, with a particular focus on the use of advanced digital technologies (ADTs) by prominent actors in the Global North and the Global South. Within the past decade, the implementation of ADTs has gained popularity among various fields, like the top-down management of migration. The question is no longer “if”, but rather “how”. Therefore, this research seeks to uncover the question of “How do policy intentions influence the diffusion of digital technologies for migration management in the Global North and the Global South?”. This is approached by a systematic literature review of 25 documents, mostly of academic nature, a complementary expert interview and a subsequent qualitative content analysis through ATLAS.ti. The hypotheses state that ADTs are used as a mean to deliver policy objectives, which proved to be true. Moreover, it was expected that performance-related intentions enhance the proliferation which was partially proven. Ideas of national security under the migration management paradigm strongly affect the implementation, as expected. Further, governments tendency towards techno-solutionism and organizations techno-humanitarianism view were apparent in some instances. Overall, the proliferation and implementation of ADTs is dependent on the national and international actors and their policy objectives. |
