It explores the \u003ci\u003edigital empowerment-control nexus\u003c\/i\u003e by articulating the use of digital technologies - whether by migrants themselves, civil society actors or institutions - with their \u003ci\u003emediating\u003c\/i\u003e role in the processes of empowerment, surveillance and migration control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on original empirical studies, the chapters bring contrasting and complementary insights into the use of digital technologies as agentic and\/or surveillance tools in different national and supranational contexts (Turkey, Mexico, the United States, Switzerland, France, Romania, Greece and the European Union) and from different disciplinary perspectives (anthropology, sociology, geography, media studies, law and deportation studies). Using different theoretical lenses, they demonstrate the varying degrees of (dis)entanglement between individual and institutional practices, at micro and macro levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHelping readers to understand the ambivalent role of digital technologies in (forced) migration processes, \u003ci\u003eThe Digital Empowerment-Control Nexus\u003c\/i\u003e can be used as a resource by students, researchers, practitioners and policymakers interested in digitally mediated migration practices and migration regimes.
