Antje Ellermann 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.
Dr. Ellermann’s current research, which is funded by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council and focuses on Germany, Switzerland, Canada, and the United States, seeks to develop a theoretical framework for the comparative study of immigration politics in liberal democracies.
