The Refugee Hospitality Dilemma
Today’s controversies about territorial access and rights of refugees and the cohesion of the nation-state can be traced back to the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen and Kant’s ideas about hospitality. Seyla Benhabib has argued that the resulting dilemma can be softened and bridged through “democratic iterations,” and that the EU deliberation offers a suitable perspective. However, the complex construction of the EU asylum fram…
Lotteries. The Ambivalent European Asylum Regime and How to Fix It. Credibility and Effectiveness of Asylum Decisions in Europe
Die europäischen Asylsysteme werden oft als ›Lotterie‹ kritisiert, weil Asylentscheidungen zwischen Ländern, Regionen und Gerichten extrem differieren und die Antragsteller Jahre auf endgültige Klärung warten. Um schnelle und gute Entscheidungen zu ermöglichen, hat die Schweiz ein strukturiertes Asylverfahren mit unabhängiger Rechtsberatung entwickelt. Deutschland und andere Länder wollen Asylbewerber:innen in der Anhörung nicht rechtlich stärken…
Migration Policymaking in Europe
This important work analyses immigration and immigrant inclusion policies in ten European countries, examining how such policies are formed and subsequently implemented. The study singles out the important role of usually overlooked factors and actors that significantly affect policymaking alongside the formal legal framework. It also identifies similarities and diversities in European immigration policies
Religiöse Pluralisierung im Einwanderungsland Deutschland
Engagement und Integration
Den Begriff Engagement kann man mit zwei unterschiedlichen Akzenten verwenden: einmal in Bezug auf Leidenschaft und überschießenden Idealismus und zum anderen in Bezug auf den durch solche Leidenschaft geprägten und meist unhonoriertem Einsatz – individuell oder kollektiv. Ich gehe im Folgenden zunächst eher auf den leidenschaftlichen und anschließend stärker auf den ehrenamtlichen Aspekt ein, um zu Klärungen zu kommen. Denn Leidenschaft ist eine…
Naturalisations en Allemagne
De 1982 à 1998, le nombre d’étrangers en l’Allemagne est passé de 4,7 à 7,3 millions, pendant qu’un difficile débat se déroulait pour aboutir à des réformes facilitant la naturalisation. Après les processus d’intégration réussis par les secteurs économiques et sociaux, l’acquisition de la nationalité a été reconnue comme un nouveau moyen d’intégration. Néanmoins, même si les naturalisations ont augmenté, les taux restent faibles et en deçà des ob…
Allemagne 2008. Consensus sur l'intégration, réminiscences désabusées et nouveaux défis de la mondialisation
Après la fièvre qui a suivi la chute du mur de Berlin et bouleversé les flux migratoires, l’Allemagne connaît aujourd’hui une paix relative en matière de politique d’immigration et la ségrégation y est moins forte qu’ailleurs en Europe. Néanmoins, l’accueil des travailleurs immigrés, reconnus indispensables, n’est pas favorisé. Les mécanismes d’intégration de l’État-providence sont en crise et des préjugés suspicieux envers les musulmans se propa…
Multiple citizenship and naturalization
Immigrant Cultures, State Policies and Social Capital Formation in Germany
Germany's six largest immigrant groups, from Turkey, Italy, Greece, Spain, Poland and the former Yugoslavia, have large discrepancies with respect to economic and educational success. Whereas the Spanish assimilated in one generation, and the Polish group is about to repeat that pattern, the Greeks kept their distinctiveness. Both groups were largely successful, in contrast to the Italian immigrants who lag behind, as well as the Turkish group. T…
Der Bildungserfolg von Einwandererkindern in den Bundesländern. Diskrepanzen zwischen der Pisa-Studie und den offiziellen Schulstatistiken
An der Jahreswende 2002/2003 veröffentlichte die Süddeutsche Zeitung zwei Artikel, deren Aussagen sich diametral widersprachen: In der Silvester-Ausgabe verkündete Kultusministerin Hohlmeier selbstbewusst, "Ausländer-Kinder" in Bayern könnten "besser deutsch als Deutsche in NRW".2 Vier Tage später meldeten sich italienische Eltern3 und wiesen auf extrem hohe Sonderschulquoten und das Außenseiterschicksal ihrer Kinder hin, das in Bayern und Baden-…
Migration im Spannungsfeld von Globalisierung und Nationalstaat
Traditionen und Perspektiven der Migration am Anfang des 21. Jahrhunderts - Migration, Globalisierung und Staatensystem - Einwanderung in starken und schwachen Nationalstaaten
Include or exclude
Closed doors, back doors, side doors
The article gives a systematic description of the Japanese policy of prohibiting the immigration of unskilled workers in the face of a world environment that is more and more open for travel, exchange, and communication of all kinds. The side effects of this policy are discussed, as well as three limited quasi‐immigration schemes: ethnic Japanese from Latin America, trainees, and students. The exceptional Japanese case is then evaluated on the ba…
Between State and Market
In the mid- to late-nineteenth century, millions of Germans emigratedto the New World. Today, however, immigration to Germanyis an integral aspect of everyday life in the country. The consequencesof immigration are far-reaching, ranging from the wealth ofculinary options offered by Italian, Greek, or Chinese restaurants, tothe social costs of employing thousands of foreign workers in Germany'sconstruction sector. In the Ruhr River area, Germany's…
Migration and European Integration, the Dynamics of Inclusion and Exclusion
Immigrants and Refugees
European migration from east to west
Present‐day migration control is largely a social and political construction, it cannot explain the patterns and processes of East‐West migration. Western anxieties have been misleading, and are used as a substitute for the fears of the Cold War period. In reality, the rich countries of Western Europe have largely been able to control their borders and define the sort of immigration they want to accept. Most of the migrants from Eastern Europe ha…
The Political Uses of Xenophobia in England, France and Germany
This article centres upon the nature of xenophobia as it relates to electoral politics, addressing in particular how and why `race politics' were employed in three large West European states at the end of the Cold War. Rather than looking only at extremist fringe groups, this article focuses on party competition as a driving force. Discussing developments since 1979, a strict comparison of party strategies employed in Britain, France and Germany …
Germany
Germany has in recent years acquired the status coming second only to the US in terms of how many immigrants she receives. After the fall of the Berlin wall, large numbers of East Germans made their way to West Germany. Increasing numbers of ethnic Germans from the CIS, Poland and Romania and asylum seekers ‐ particidarly from South Eastern Europe and the Third World‐ made their way to Germany. The border is open to EU member nationals and it has…

Patterns of Organization among Different Ethnic Minorities
a) Organizations and Their Environment The development of migrants' organizations and other subcultural structures (Turkish press in Germany, a special video market, Greek kafeinions, Gastarbeiterliteratur, and the like) has been largely ignored by the German public and by social scientists. The feeling of native dominance over the migrants (What should be done with the foreigners?) and the social scientists' penchant for representative opinion, …
