Migration policies addressing irregularity: A typology of responses
In the political as well as the academic debate, it often appears as if regularisation or return are the only instruments that states use to address the presence of irregular migrants. Yet in reality, states possess a repertoire of responses to irregularity and select from this repertoire in a situation- and group-specific manner. This article systematically maps out the range of policy responses to the presence of irregular migrants on state ter…

Modeling migrant smuggling: Testing descriptive types against recent findings
This article develops a typology of migrant smuggling. Six generic types of migrant smuggling that were originally produced in the early 2000s are reviewed against more recent empirical findings. These six types were developed in the context of the profound transformation faced by Europe over the course of the 1990s in terms of its geopolitical landscape, when the fall of the Iron Curtain and the dissolution of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia res…
Doing family: Responses to the constructions of ‘the migrant family’ across Europe
This paper draws on how constructions of ‘the migrant family’ in political discourse influence migrants' and their families' lives.

By ‘doing family’, migrants and their families develop strategies in order to fit these requirements of living a certain family life. Fulfilling spe…

Human Smuggling as a Transnational Service Industry: Evidence from Austria
This paper presents a new approach to the understanding of human smuggling processes. Based on insights gained through in-depth interviews with smuggled migrants in Austria as well as a broad range of other sources, the authors explain how the phenomenon of human smuggling can be understood as a transnational service industry linking service providers (human smugglers) with their clients (smuggled migrants). The paper explores how certain aspects…
