Key to the approach, research questions and method of PRIME is our exploration of institutional differences across different countries, and how these shape experiences of, and responses to, irregular migration. Context matters, so how do we compare across different countries? In this episode host Bridget Anderson is joined by Clare Fox-Ruhs, Part-Time Assistant Professor at the European University Institute, and Joakim Palme, Professor in the Department of Government at Uppsala University, who have both been dealing with this conceptually and methodologically in their focus on rights, interests and attitudes. They explain what 'institutions' means to the PRIME project and discuss the methodological challenge of comparing countries with such different histories, politics and cultures.
