Not all migrants are equal
Research consistently shows that migrants are considered less deserving of welfare than citizens, yet existing studies of this “deservingness gap” rarely account for heterogeneity within migrant populations or variation across social protection schemes. This article provides a more granular analysis of welfare deservingness by examining how migration status and scheme type jointly shape public support for migrant welfare access. Drawing on vignet…

Migration representation in movies from 1940 to 2024
How does cinema shape our understanding of migration? Although movement across borders has been a central theme in cinema for decades, research on its representation remains fragmented, often focusing on specific national contexts or cinematographic genres. To address this gap, this study introduces an original global dataset of 410 documentaries, films, and television series about migration released between 1940 and 2024. The analysis of the dat…

Civil society organisations and the healthcare of irregular migrants
Individuals who reside in a country without regular authorisation generally find it difficult to access public medical services beyond emergency treatment. Even in countries with universal healthcare, there is often a gap between rights on paper and their implementation. Civil society organisations (CSOs) fill this gap by providing medical services to vulnerable populations, including irregular migrants. What, if any, are the ethical dilemmas tha…
What Is the Nexus between Migration and Mobility? A Framework to Understand the Interplay between Different Ideal Types of Human Movement
Categorising certain forms of human movement as 'migration' and others as 'mobility' has far-reaching consequences. We introduce the migration-mobility nexus as a framework for other researchers to interrogate the relationship between these two categories of human movement and explain how they shape different social representations. Our framework articulates four ideal-typical interplays between categories of migration and categories of mobility:…
A global network of scholars? The geographical concentration of institutes in migration studies and its implications
The study of international migration and responses to it has experienced rapid growth in the last three decades: an institutionalisation of migration studies. This paper identifies and specifies infrastructural and semantic elements of institutionalisation by establishing a global Directory of Migration Research Institutions identifying 282 institutes focused on migration research that were operative between 1945 and 2020. We observe a clear geog…
Restricting Human Movement During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Every government in the world introduced restrictions to human mobility – that is, the movement of persons across and within state borders – in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Such restrictions thus constituted a global phenomenon, but they were by no means globally uniform; rather, they varied significantly between and within states, as well as over time. This research note presents different data sources for studying the drivers and outcomes…

The political determinants of the health of undocumented immigrants
We interpret these results as an indication that policies that expand access to health services lead to better outcomes for undocumented immigrants. This finding has implications for research on civic stratification and public health. Further analysis is needed to evaluate the effects of extending public health care for undocumented immigrants in different contexts
La trasformazione del regime globale di mobilità durante la pandemia di Covid-19
Questo articolo propone un'analisi preliminare di tre importanti cambiamenti in-dotti dalla pandemia di COVID-19 su quello che è stato definito "il regime globale di mobilità" (Schiller e Salazar, 2013), o l'insieme delle regole e dei meccanismi in-ternazionali di governance che normalizzano gli spostamenti di alcuni viaggiatori e criminalizzano quelli di altri. L'articolo si focalizza sui cambiamenti occorsi in ma-teria di cittadinanza (il livel…
Multilevel strategies of political inclusion
Over the last fifty years, eighteen regional assemblies in Europe have debated the extension of voting rights to foreign residents. Yet only Scotland and the Swiss cantons of Neuchâtel and Jura have adopted such legislation. What explains this variation? Through a comparison of debates that have taken place in Italy and Switzerland, I show that multilevel governance expands access to policymaking, but also multiplies veto points in the system. As…
Instrumentos para avaliação formativa da alfabetização
A avaliação da aprendizagem na alfabetização é discutida com base na análise de instrumentos utilizados em experiências escolares com turmas de primeiro ano do ensino fundamental. Inicialmente, os pressupostos da avaliação formativa são utilizados para contextualizar o processo avaliativo. Em seguida, fundamentados nas perspectivas psicogenética e fonológica – paradigmas que explicam a aprendizagem do sistemaalfabético-ortográfico pela criança – …

The Regional Battleground
This article challenges the idea that territorial rescaling invariably leads to a race to the bottom in the provision of rights for vulnerable subjects. Instead, the comparison of two regions in Italy and two cantons in Switzerland shows that subnational governments make different choices reflecting the preferences of their voters. While focusing on the case of undocumented immigrants and their inclusion/exclusion from health care, the article ex…
Non-universal suffrage
The electoral franchise has become more universal as restrictions based on criteria such as sex or property have been lifted throughout the process of democratisation. Yet, a broad range of exclusions has persisted to this date, making the suffrage non-universal, even in established democracies. In this article, we present ELECLAW, a new set of indicators that captures the subtle and variegated legal landscape of persisting electoral rights restr…
