This edited volume analyses how illiberal states manage migration to absorb resistance and how migration impacts the illiberal political agenda in Russia, Eurasia, and Eastern Europe. With an interdisciplinary approach, the contributions show how illiberalism shapes, influences, and enables states to take advantage of migration to secure and advance political goals. The case studies also provide an understanding of how migration processes can simultaneously challenge authoritarianism and illiberal political goals by fostering diversity, networking, democracy promotion, and political empowerment.
