Search and rescue NGOs as a focal point in debates on the reception of refugees in the EU: Research essay on an Italian and German case study
After criticising a lack of rescue capacities and an increase in border deaths at the maritime EU external borders, search and rescue (SAR) NGOs have been sending out vessels since 2014. While the responsibility for SAR lies with the coastal states, we start from the assumption that these NGOs have now become part of the border regime. They pursue different activities to make the border regime, in their view, more humane and in line with European…
Fluchtforschung als Demokratieforschung: Ein Dialog zwischen politischer Philosophie und empirischen Sozialwissenschaften
Studien, die Fluchtanalysen explizit als Demokratieforschung denken, sind relativ jung. Ebenso steht die Debatte um eine Demokratisierung der Fluchtforschung selbst erst am Anfang. Der folgende Beitrag bringt eine Auswahl an Ansätzen aus Politischer Philosophie und empirischer Sozialwissenschaft miteinander ins Gespräch, die zur Bearbeitung dieser Problemstellung beitragen können. Im Zentrum der Auseinandersetzungen stehen Fragen nach der politis…
The relational dimension of externalizing border control: Selective visa policies in migration and border diplomacy
The paper traces the crucial role of visa policies in externalizing border control. Since the European Union has agreed upon a highly selective visa policy in 2001, most neighbouring countries are (newly) confronted with visa requirements for short-term travel. Because of this standardization of travel opportunities, visa-free travel to the European Union has become a rare and valuable political asset both for third country nationals and their go…
Democratic centre, autocratic isolates: The Changing Field of International Visa Policies
In the international field of visa policies, states observe how other states act in terms of global mobility control or the facilitation of wanted cross-border mobility. But towards whom do they orient themselves? And what drives nation states to cooperate with others and grant their citizens visa-free travel or not? To tackle these questions, we conceptualise visa waiver agreements as positive relations between two states. A new data collection …

Liberal cosmopolitan norms and the border: Local actors’ critique of the governance of global processes
Liberal cosmopolitanism provides a set of norms that calls for the openness of borders. Freedom of movement, equality in opportunity and hospitality define a liberal framework for a state’s ruling over the access of foreigners to the territory. However, in states’ execution of border and immigration control these normative ideals seem not to apply. Accounts of border and immigration policy and discourse document a bias towards exclusion, restrict…
The Global Mobility Divide: How Visa Policies Have Evolved over Time
While visa policies are the major instrument for regulating and controlling the global flow of people, little is known about how they have changed over time. Accordingly, scholars have expressed the need for large-N datasets which cover more than one point in time. This article takes up this challenge and presents a for the first time a global overview of the changes in visa waiver policies based on a newly created database containing the visa wa…

"A “border for the people"? Narratives on changing eastern borders in Finland and Austria
The fall of the Iron Curtain and the border regime of the European Union have changed perceptions of borders. This study compares border narratives on two Eastern borders in Austria and Finland in order to find out how such narratives picture the changing functions of the borders. The qualitative data gathered from interviews with border policy actors in both countries reveals that the shared narrative of the Iron Curtain is in the process of bei…
