Interpersonal Austerity as a Barrier to the Social Integration of Highly Skilled Immigrants in Norway
In this article, we examine barriers to the social integration of highly skilled immigrants in Norway, drawing on qualitative interviews. Many participants described significant challenges in forming friendships with Norwegians. Responding to calls to de-migranticize integration research, we shift the analytical focus from the immigrants to the wider society to understand these challenges. Building on anthropological work—particularly Gullestad’s…
Mot en mer marginal velferdsmodell: Innstramninger i innvandreres tilgang til sosiale rettigheter etter 2015
I kjølvannet av asylforliket i 2015 ble det gjort en rekke innstramninger i innvandreres tilgang til norske trygdeordninger, og dette er den første gangen den norske folketrygdloven er blitt endret utelukkende av innvandringspolitiske hensyn. I denne artikkelen analyserer vi disse politiske prosessene og spør hvordan problemforståelser og logikker fra innvandringsfeltet har påvirket trygdepolitikken. Datamaterialet består av politiske dokumenter,…
Kollektiv analyse av innvandringspolitikk: Feministiske forskingsmetodar i praksis
I denne artikkelen tek me utgangspunkt i omgrepet «sakteforsking» og utforskar korleis ein kan jobba med kritisk tenking og kreativitet gjennom kollektive analyseprosessar. Caset er ein analyseworkshop me gjennomførte hausten 2022, inspirert av kollektiv kvalitativ analyse (KKA) (Eggebø 2020b) og kva er «problemet»?-tilnærminga (WPR) (Bacchi og Goodwin 2016). Her deltok ei forskargruppe på fem personar i arbeidet med å analysera politiske dokumen…
Who deserves exceptions in times of crisis? A comparison of policy responses to mitigate negative consequences for unemployed people and immigrants during the Covid-19 pandemic
The boundaries for whom the welfare state should protect during times of crisis are not necessarily obvious. Deservingness studies have identified unemployed people and immigrants as groups perceived as 'less deserving' of welfare state support than other groups in need during ‘normal’ times. These two groups have in recent years been subject to more conditional requirements and an incentivizing rationale. In this article, we compare the policy r…
Do integration requirements undermine egalitarianism?
For decades, policy makers have expressed concerns about immigration potentially undermining the welfare state.In this chapter, we examine a new income requirement for obtaining permanent residence.We argue that this requirement that was meant to rescue the fiscal sustainability of the welfare state may upon closer scrutiny create and exacerbate both socioeconomic and political inequalities, paradoxically resulting in the undermining of the egali…
State crisis response versus transnational family living: An online ethnography among transnational families during the pandemic
Transnational family living refers to the situation of maintaining relationships across national borders. It is dependent on a certain degree of flexibility from the state. As part of the crisis response to the COVID-19 pandemic, this flexibility was revoked. As a result, existing mobility inequalities became more visible than ever: while travel restrictions came as a shock to many, they created an additional challenge to those who had been strug…
Everything but the Marriage Certificate: Unmarried Partners in Norwegian Immigration Regulation
Pandemic border closures separated previously transnational couples, including unmarried partners, revealing under-researched forms of transnational family life. From this point of departure, we reexamine Norwegian family immigration regulation for unmarried partners from the 1980s onwards. Societal norms around coupledom have shifted toward Giddens’s “pure relationship.” Yet, immigration regulations have focused on “problematic marriages,” such …
Restriktiv eller selektiv: Innvandringspolitikkens ulike ansikter
Mer midlertidighet: Innvandringspolitikken Etter Asylforliket
Hvilke konsekvenser får det når innvandringspolitikken preges av stadig mer midlertidighet? Dette spørsmålet ble ikke utredet og knapt diskutert i forbindelse med omfattende politiske endringer etter asylforliket. Denne artikkelen setter søkelys på midlertidighetens konsekvenser for individet og for samfunnsmessige målsetninger om integrering. Vi analyserer to endringer som enkeltvis og samlet medfører mer midlertidighet: 1) inntektskrav for perm…
The renationalisation of migration policies in times of crisis: The case of Norway
Securing collective action in the field of asylum regulation is high on the European political agenda. In this article, we look at one country’s partial pullback from the regional cooperation during the high influx of asylum seekers in 2015. We use Norway as a case to analyse the challenges to common European asylum regulations and the drivers of a region-wide tendency of what we call renationalisation. Against this background, we seek to contrib…
Hard Work for Love: The Economic Drift in Norwegian Family Immigration and Integration Policies
While family migration has often been categorized as 'unwanted' or 'suffered' immigration in the immigration literature and by policy makers, a closer examination of entry and integration rules for family migrations in Norway suggests that this is only partly true. While the admission of family members is rooted in human rights norms and, in particular, the right to protection of family life, the actual practices of family-based admissions cannot…
Free Movement and the Fragmentation of Family Reunification Rights
Family reunification regulations in the EU are increasingly complex, and they vary for different groups of sponsors. This paper documents the existence of four parallel legal regimes for family reunification — national rules for citizens who do not move, EU rules for citizens who move within Europe, the Family Reunification Directive for third-country nationals in the EU, and since 2011, family reunification rights based on EU citizenship status.…
