Forming Citizens or Nudging Returns? Reflections on the Syrian Displacement and Its Political Repercussions in Germany
The arrival of around 1 million asylum seekers in Germany in 2015, many from Syria, reshaped migration debates and exposed structural weaknesses. Initial solidarity soon turned into fatigue as local authorities struggled with reception capacities, including provision of housing and education. Public discourse shifted from humanitarian concerns to security narratives, contributing to the rise of the far‐right Alternative für Deutschland and to the…
Understanding arrival contexts of local refugee reception using a ‘phase space’ perspective
Migration is an inherently spatial phenomenon as it depicts the processes and effects of humans' movement from one place to another. Recent debates in geographical migration research highlight the need to adequately understand how the distinct nature of space and place shape migration and arrival processes. Taking up this call, this contribution proposes to bring together more‐than‐relational approaches to space in geography and the ‘local turn’ …

Flucht- und Flüchtlingsforschung: Handbuch für Wissenschaft und Studium
Research on flight and refugees has been experiencing a boom in the German-speaking regions since about 2015. This handbook opens up the field in all its breadth and at the same time critically reflects the state of research. Part I of the volume discusses on a theoretical level the historical development of the field, its (trans-)disciplinary approaches, and questions of research ethics. Part II offers a discussion of important core terms and co…

The Future of the Common European Asylum System: Dystopian or Utopian Expectations
After the end of the Cold War, a decade started within which the idea of European unity gained considerable traction. The Maastricht Treaty transformed the Economic Community into the European Union and the scope of collaboration between its member states widened to include justice and home affairs. By the end of the decade, it had become clear this was not enough to address the challenges caused by refugee migration. Thus the Amsterdam Treaty ai…
Locational Choice and Secondary Movements from the Perspective of Forced Migrants: A Comparison of the Destinations Luxembourg and Germany
In 2015 and 2016, the enormous increase in asylum seekers travelling along the Balkan Route confronted the Member States of the European Union with an exceptional pressure on national asylum systems. Since then academic literature has revealed a reappraisal of the Common European Asylum System at regulative and policy implementation level, notably regarding the fair distribution of asylum seekers across Member States and regions. Yet we know very…
Integration of refugees in rural areas and the role of the receiving society: Conceptual review and analytical framework
Research on integration processes of migrants has until recently remained on geographical levels of observation which are not apt to reveal and explain the variety of local integration trajectories. Furthermore, most research has focused on the role of migrants within these processes, while the attitudes and behaviours of the receiving society have been rarely addressed. This research gap concerns in particular rural areas since those areas have …
Social innovation within transnational flows of knowledge: The example of student mobility from Bulgaria
Taking the example of Bulgarians who studied abroad, this paper explores the motives and practices of graduates regarding socially innovative knowledge transfer in order to deliver social benefits for the local community. The paper shows how both stayers and returnees act within a transnational social space, which develops and deepens during and after student mobility. Engaging in socially innovative knowledge transfer is motivated by altruistic …
Introduction: Displacement, asylum and the city – theoretical approaches and empirical findings
Forced migration is an urban phenomenon – an integral part of twenty-first century urban landscapes, as well as an "urban story" of those displaced. In this introductory article, we draw attention to the interlinked yet understudied relationship between the role of cities in dealing with the arrival of forced migrants and the influence of forced migration in stimulating spatial, societal, and institutional transformations in and of cities. Seekin…
Diversity Development in Postsocialist Cities: The Example of East Germany
When comparing integration patterns, policies, and attitudes towards migration, postsocialist European countries stand out from West European countries in having a less-developed integration infrastructure, fewer immigrants and less openness towards migration and diversity. Focusing on the case of East Germany, this article highlights the specifics of a migration and integration environment that was shaped by the post-socialist transformation exp…
Is Social Contact With the Resident Population a Prerequisite of Well-Being and Place Attachment? The Case of Refugees in Rural Regions of Germany
Due to dispersal policies applied in many European countries, such as Germany, rural regions are important arrival regions for asylum seekers and refugees. For German policy makers, who have faced a large number of immigrants since 2015, it is crucial that asylum seekers and refugees stay in those rural regions and benefit the development of those areas. This paper addresses the quality and quantity of social contact between refugees and resident…
Geographies of Asylum in Europe and the Role of European Localities
This open access book describes how the numerous arrivals of asylum seekers since 2015 shaped reception and integration processes in Europe. It addresses the structuration of asylum and reception systems, and spaces and places of reception on European, national, regional and local level
Refugee Reception within a common European asylum system: Looking at convergences and divergences through a local-to-local comparison
Research on the governance of refugees has until recently remained conceptualized with the national perspective as a starting point. This article compares asylum governance at the local level between Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, focusing on the often sensitive and highly debated issue of reception and accommodation. The central idea is to determine convergences and divergences of local reception structures and efforts, and how they ar…
Transnational Social Capital in Migration: The example of Educational Migration between Bulgaria and Germany
Focusing on student migration from Bulgaria to Germany, this article examines what types of social capital are accumulated, transformed and implemented through migration, who profits from the investment, and how. The empirical work consists of 60 narrative biographical interviews with migrants and returnees to Bulgaria. The research reveals that the accumulation and investment of social capital takes place throughout the migratory trajectory—star…

European Mobility in Times of Crisis: The New Context of European South-North Migration
Refugee Migration and Local Demarcations: New Insight into European Localities
The rising numbers of asylum seekers moving towards and within the European Union has increased public interest in the question of refugee distribution and the management of reception situations. As a result of national distribution systems, a growing number of municipalities are confronted with arriving refugees whom they have to accommodate, accompanied by unexpected reactions by the local population. Mirroring those developments, migration sch…

La migration pendulaire de la main-d'œuvre entre la Pologne et l'Allemagne
En Europe, l'Allemagne est un pays pionnier dans la systématisation du recours à la main-d'œuvre étrangère pour effectuer les travaux saisonniers agricoles. Les Polonais constituent l'essentiel des ouvriers employés sur les exploitations, et ce depuis plus de cent ans en raison des liens historiques qui existent entre ces deux pays. L'auteure s'intéresse ici aux principaux aspects de cette migration, qui évolue depuis une quinzaine d'années avec …
Transnationale Perspektiven: Eine Studie zur Migration zwischen Polen und Deutschland
Während die theoretische Reflexion transnationaler Theorieansätze in der Migrationsforschung weit fortgeschritten ist, bestehen nach wie vor große Defizite bei der empirischen Operationalisierung ihrer Basishypothesen. Der Band möchte diese Erkenntnislücke verkleinern helfen. Er wendet die transnationale Forschungsperspektive auf das empirische Beispiel polnischer Migranten in Leipzig an und identifiziert verschiedene Typen transnationaler Lebens…
