معرفی
Rey Koslowski is Professor of International Relations at the University at Albany, State University of New York, specializing in international migration, border security, and European integration. Previously faculty at Rutgers University-Newark, his research examines the intersection of technology, security, and human mobility across transnational contexts. His scholarly contributions appear in leading journals including International Organization, Journal of Common Market Studies, and Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.
Professor Koslowski's research program critically analyzes migration governance through multiple lenses: the socio-economic impacts of citizenship policies, technological innovations in border control (particularly drone surveillance), and comparative frameworks for selective migration systems. His work emphasizes the tension between security imperatives and human rights within evolving international regimes, with significant attention to transatlantic cooperation and Asian policy models. Recent scholarship increasingly addresses the geopolitical dimensions of talent competition and the role of non-state actors in border management.
His publication trajectory since 2016 reveals three dominant analytical strands: (1) technological transformation of border security infrastructure, (2) causal analysis of citizenship access and socio-economic outcomes, and (3) institutional design for global mobility governance. This research consistently bridges theoretical innovation with policy relevance, examining both European integration processes and emerging Asian approaches to migration management.

Major research funding has been secured from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and National Science Foundation. While specific student mentorship details are not documented in source materials, his extensive publication record in edited volumes and co-authored works indicates substantive collaborative research leadership. Koslowski's book Migrants and Citizens: Demographic Change in the European States System (Cornell University Press, 2000) established foundational frameworks for understanding migration-state interactions in political demography.
