Towards a Comparison of the Semantic Information of Pan-European Open Building Data
Open, non-governmental building datasets have become increasingly important for urban analysis, exposure modelling, and policy support. Despite their growing use, little is known about the consistency, completeness, and comparability of the semantic information they provide at a continental scale. This study presents the first systematic comparison of the semantic attributes of six major pan-European open building datasets—OpenStreetMap, EUBUCCO,…
Revisiting acculturation research with big data
This article leverages big data to contribute to acculturation research, tapping on population behavior to measure the proximity of an ethnic minority to majority and homeland orientations. Our data consists of anonymized information from the Facebook Advertising Platform Interface about active users who speak Italian on the platform and reside in the 16 countries with the largest Italian-speaking communities worldwide. We conduct two main analys…
Introduction
This special issue aims to contribute to the debate on race, racialisation and racism in Spain from a perspective that combines theoretical analysis and empirical studies. We take a systemic understanding of racial relations as our point of departure and focus on the Spanish context. Our objective is twofold: First, we want to challenge a persistent “colour-blindness” and a widely spread silence about race in European societies (Lentin, 2018; Son…
Everyday Antigypsyism and Structural Discrimination
In this article, we focus on antigypsyism to inquire how structural racism operates and is reproduced through everyday interaction, being normalised both by Roma and non-Roma people. We link the notion of structural racism to another central concept in migration and diversity studies that is often treated separately, namely the contested idea of “integration.” Social exclusion is, in our framework, largely understood as a consequence of structura…
A time penalty for the Global South? Inequalities in visa appointment wait times at German embassies and consulates worldwide
International audience
El Espectáculo Fronterizo Como Prisma Analítico De La Crisis Permanente Y De La Excepcionalidad en Ceuta Y Melilla
Ceuta y Melilla representan dos casos paradigmáticos para reflexionar sobre los dispositivos y las prácticas de poder - a nivel político, judicial, tecnológico y simbólico - que se despliegan en las fronteras contemporáneas del norte global y sobre la fronterización que generan. Los enclaves son escenarios privilegiados para la representación del espectáculo fronterizo, a través de una representación teatralizada del fenómeno migratorio que defin…
The border spectacle during the pandemic
This paper explores the ‘border spectacle’, namely the production and diffusion of images of immigration, in contemporary digital journalism to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic public health crisis overlapped with the dual semantics of illegalisation/victimisation of migrants. This article addresses a gap in the field of political economy of the border spectacle, conducting a bottom-up analysis of the socio-economic and material conditions un…
Computational social science in regional analysis and the European real estate market
The recent so-called 'data revolution' offers unprecedented opportunities to innovate regional policies.New data sources are being widely used by the scientific community, however their uptake is far from being systematic in the policy cycle, where data innovation can improve territorial impact assessment.This paper presents a survey on the use of non-traditional data in the context of regional policy, together with a case study on real estate ma…

This open access handbook describes foundational issues, methodological approaches and examples how to analyse and model data using CSS for policy support
Roads, rails, and checkpoints
The permeability of nation-state borders determines the flow of people and commodities between countries and therefore greatly influences many aspects of human development from trade and economic inequality to migration and the ethnic composition of societies worldwide. While past research on the topic has focused on border fortification (walls, fences, etc.) or the legal dimension of border controls, we take a different approach by arguing that …
Did exposure to asylum seeking migration affect the electoral outcome of the ‘Alternative für Deutschland’ in Berlin? Evidence from the 2019 European elections
This article analyses the impact of exposure to asylum-seeking migration during the European 'refugee crisis' on votes for the far-right Alternative fur Deutschland at the 2019 European elections in Berlin. While other scholars investigated the relationship between locals' exposure to asylum-seekers and far-right voting, we analyse this relationship at a very small scale (electoral district level), adopting an innovative methodological approach, …
The Ceuta Border Peripeteia
On May 18th 2021 more than 8000 people irregularly crossed the EU external border between Morocco and Ceuta. Morocco was accused of not acting diligently enough to prevent this unprecedented influx. Interestingly, this occurred in a geopolitical context of rising tensions within Spanish-Moroccan diplomatic relations-triggered by Trump administration’s recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over the Spanish former colony of Western Sahara in 2020. Th…
Measuring objective and subjective well-being
Well-being is an important value for people’s lives, and it could be considered as an index of societal progress. Researchers have suggested two main approaches for the overall measurement of well-being, the objective and the subjective well-being. Both approaches, as well as their relevant dimensions, have been traditionally captured with surveys. During the last decades, new data sources have been suggested as an alternative or complement to tr…
Pandemia e sconvolgimento dei sistemi migratori
In questo articolo, l'autore analizza gli effetti dirompenti della pandemia di CO-VID-19 sul sistema migratorio esistente tra la Spagna e Marocco, utilizzando come approccio teorico il concetto di "frontierizzazione" (bordering). A partire dai primi mesi del 2020, la crescente diffusione del virus SARS-CoV-2 ha generato un pro-fondo sconvolgimento, che si è manifestato in cinque dinamiche principali: 1) l'apparire di nuove migrazioni forzate di r…
Between Discipline and Neglect
In 2019, Spain had the third highest number of asylum applications in the Europen Union, after Germany and France. The number of asylum applications grew from 31,120 in 2017 to 55,668 in 2018 and 118,264 in 2019. Following this exponential increase, the number of accommodation places in the state reception system has risen almost proportionally. In this changing context, this article seeks to explain the regulation of asylum accommodation in Spai…

Racialization and Aporophobia
In this article, we address a gap in the scholarship on (super)diversity, discrimination and racism by placing the experiences of non-western migrants and Roma people in the same conceptual framework of stigmatization based on racialization and aporophobia. Including a (formally non-recognized) national minority, the Spanish Roma, in such an analysis implies moving from a framework of superdiversity applied to immigrants to a broader one, which a…
The global visa cost divide
Visas are an important means for countries to regulate the potential access of non-nationals to their territory. Past datasets and quantitative research on visas have focused on visa waivers, ignoring the fact that visas, where demanded, can vary greatly by cost. This paper presents a novel dataset based on a manual collection of visa costs for travel between a global set of country pairs in seven different categories (tourist, work, student, fam…
Between crises and borders
Récurrence de la crise frontalière
Nous analysons ici le processus de « frontiérisation » en Espagne, dans sa relation aux « crises migratoires » qui se produisent de façon récurrente dans certains segments de la ligne frontalière. Nous abordons les modalités par lesquelles un phénomène structurel comme l’immigration irrégulière est politisé et géré comme « exceptionnel ». Pour mieux comprendre cette dynamique, nous étudions, d’une part, les cas de Ceuta et Melilla comme lieux pri…
Les enjeux de la sécurisation de la question migratoire dans les relations de l'Union européenne avec l'Afrique
Les relations entre l’Union Européenne et l’Afrique sont de plus en plus conditionnées par la question migratoire, abordée de façon croissante selon une optique sécuritaire. En parallèle, l’internationalisation progressive des politiques européennes d’immigration produit une dynamique d’externalisation du contrôle vers le continent africain. Dans le cadre déséquilibré des relations euro-africaines, la délégation du contrôle des flux migratoires s…
