- 요약Political Science scholarship tends to envision state capacity and national sovereignty as areas over which modern states seek full control and reach. However, there are underexplored rationales why a state might opt for foregoing certain state capacity development opportunities, or ways to preserve its sovereign might, as brought into relief when we examine state responses to migratory influxes. This dissertation unpacks how states desire to take on certain policy issue areas in an opportunistic manner because they see openings to enhance state capacity (in particular those related to national security and surveillance matters), while shying away from other thornier policy issue areas (in particular those related to migrant and refugee socio-economic integration). These theoretical insights are explored via a case study of Brazil's response to Venezuelan migration, its creation of "Operation Welcome," and efforts to resettle over 125,000 of the half million Venezuelan migrants and refugees that have entered Brazil since 2017. Empirical claims are based on fourteen months of fieldwork in Brazil during 2022, 2023, and 2024 in the metropolitan areas of: Porto Alegre, Brasilia, Boa Vista, Manaus, and Sao Paulo, as well as a "Miscellaneous" field site consisting of online interviews and participant observations with relevant individuals from across the country. In total, 290 in-person and virtual anonymous semi-structured interviews (150 with Brazilians of interest and 140 with Venezuelan migrants and refugees), as well as 60 in-person and virtual participant observations, 100 informal conversations, and 20 informal participant observations were gathered during fieldwork. Chapter 1 and 2 position my arguments within the pre-existing theoretical literature on migration politics and provide further background and context on recent Venezuelan migration to Brazil and across Latin America. Chapter 3 delves into how Brazil does not want to assume full sovereignty over migrant and refugee inclusion and integration and opts for sharing sovereignty with other domestic and international actors by relegating tasks to them. Chapter 4 takes a close up look at Brazil's shelters for Venezuelans at the border and presents how these spaces - built to provide security and safety for Venezuelans - end up unintentionally fostering forms of insecurity. Chapter 5 details how Venezuelans are handed off to local street-level bureaucrats across Brazil after being resettled with few policies on how to effectively integrate them into society, leading bureaucrats to craft solutions on the fly. Chapter 6 addresses how Venezuelans' personal identities have varying impacts as they search for employment and a sense of belonging in Brazil, despite legal measures to include them socio-economically. Overall, this dissertation highlights how federal-level states can indirectly and informally produce a migration response and governance system by abdicating certain tasks, thereby shifting responsibilities onto other domestic and international actors, including migrant and refugee groups themselves. These findings help redefine how we conceptualize migration governance in the Global South, as even a well-intended, progressive, and "welcoming" response to a migratory influx is not necessarily predicted on state capacity, resource availability, or left v. right wing politics. Instead, migration governance can also be influenced and impacted by a desire to develop and take on certain capacities and avoid others. In summary, migration can be viewed by a federal-level state simultaneously as both a challenge and opportunity, which they respond to by trying to minimize the former and maximize the latter, even in cases where federal-level states do not response to migratory influxes in hostile, securitized, or politicized manners.
