Reframing Public Space Evaluation through Multisited and Plurispatial Perspectives
This paper proposes a multisited and plurispatial methodological framework for evaluating public space as a justice-oriented method that foregrounds the lived trajectories of precarious migrants across overlapping spatial and policy scales. Ever since Vikas Mehta’s Public Space Index (2014) articulated a multidimensional, site-based evaluative model, the field has increasingly approached public space evaluation as a hybrid practice combining obse…
Transnational Nationalisms Reflections on Nationalism and Territory in Globalization
Transnational practices redefine nationalism: a nonterritorial sense of belonging for groups and extraterritorial sovereignty for states. Territory is at the core of the analysis in both cases. For groups and communities' transnationalism leads to a new imagined community guided by an “imagined geography” that is not territorial. For states, transnationalism reflects the extraterritoriality of belonging for their citizens “abroad” and sovereignty…
Governing diversity in the multilevel European public space
The issue of working out a viable relationship between accepting and/or living with diversity on the one hand and fostering integration on the other has occupied public debates, political agendas, and social sciences for decades. Our point of departure is that the contemporary European context provides distinct challenges. We need to understand how postmigrant integration is shaped and conditioned by the European public space understood as a geog…

Diversity and Contestations over Nationalism in Europe and Canada
This edited collection considers how transformations in contemporary societies have raised questions surrounding our sense of community and belonging, alongside our management of increased diversity.Diversity and Contestations over Nationalism in Europe and Canada includes contributions that consider the rise in regional nationalism and a greater willingness to recognise that many states are multinational. It critically explores the effects of al…
Between Spain and the Maghreb: The Transnational Issue
Spain is the gateway for entering the European Union from the south, a country of legal and illegal immigration from the African continent, particularly via Morocco and Algeria. The constant trips back and forth between Spain and the Maghreb made by the “birds of passage” 4 that perpetrated the 11M attacks attest to the intensity of exchanges between the two shores of the Mediterranean. The Madrid attack thus brings to light transnational relatio…
Burying Jihadis: Bodies Between State, Territory, and Identity
What should states do with the bodies of suicide bombers and other jihadists who die while perpetrating terrorist attacks? This original and unsettling book explores the host of ethical and political questions raised by this dilemma, from (non-)legitimization of the "enemy" and their cause to the non-territorial identity of individuals who identified in life with a global community of believers. Because states do not recognize suicide bombers as …
Conclusion: Contestations Within, Rather Than About, Nationalism
The main contestations that we are witnessing today have been subsumed under the nationalist logic rather than confronting it outright. But even if the terms of debate are set within the ambit of nationalism, transnationalism, cosmopolitanism, and nationalist resurgence (mainly through right-wing populism) reside in different renditions of nationalism. The terms of contestation are however not confined to the form of nationalism, they also encomp…
Multiculturalism and interculturalism: Redefining nationhood and solidarity
Theoretical and normative approaches regarding the question of diversity and integration, such as multiucluturalims and interculturalims compete in an attempt to redefine citizenship and nationhood. Most analyses have been single-theory-oriented, leading to multiple, contested and controversial interpretations of integration and democratic public spaces. Transnationalism raises the question of the limits of national public space and extends the c…
States and communities competing for global power
The question of immigration and its corollary community and minority formation has always been analysed in relation to states. However, the increasing importance of solidarity beyond national borders on the grounds of one or several identities – national, religious, ethnic, regional – removes the claim of recognition of a collective identity from a national level to an international level and, in the European Union, to a supranational level. Such…
A Comparative View of Ethnicity and Political Engagement
This article reviews approaches to ethnicity and political engagement, with particular emphasis on Western Europe. It argues that studies were at first marked by a structuralist approach and later turned to a more culturalist understanding of ethnic mobilization. Also, owing to increased labor migration after World War II, researchers shifted their attention from ethnic separatism to the ethnic identifications and mobilizations of migrants. While…
Terrorisme global et territoire
Qu’il s’agisse du « régime de Terreur » de Robespierre, des attaques du 11 septembre 2001, des actions révolutionnaires nationalistes à la fin de l’empire ottoman ou de la lutte des « combattants de la liberté » contre les pouvoirs coloniaux, toute action caractérisée par la violence est qualifiée de « terroriste ». Le concept, vague et évolutif, est appliqué aux États, aux groupes et aux individus. Les États ont d’ailleurs chacun leur définition…
Negotiations beyond Borders: States and Immigrants in Postcolonial Europe
Although the issues of immigration and integration remain within the purview of the state, states face new challenges that affect their relationship with immigrants inside and outside their boundaries. Within the eu, the coordination of policies to protect common borders from flows of immigration has forced states to re-assess their treatment of immigrants. Moreover, immigrants with the status of permanent residents or legal citizens in their ado…
Codes of Otherness
This article explores the elaboration of differences through the use of concepts of categories and policies with regard to the Other in France, Germany and the United States. It analyses three approaches in the definition of Otherness: The first one is interactive, that is the interaction between states and groups in search of political recognition. Through interactions one can measure the dynamics and the mechanisms of boundary construction and …

Since the 1980s, the question of citizenship has taken root as a major theme in the social sciences and as the focus of juridical, political, social, and cultural debates in all democratic societies. In Europe, citizenship has taken different shapes and definitions in its rhetoric, ideology, and practice with regard to immigrants; incorporation into nation-states and their expansion of political participation beyond boundaries relating to home an…

Settlement, Transnational Communities and Citizenship
The settlement of immigrants has given rise to transnational communities based on economic interests, cultural exchanges, social relations, and political affiliations.
