A Bourdieu-Inspired Analysis of Highly Skilled Migration
This article presents a Bourdieu-inspired comparative analysis of migrant employment in the Swedish ICT and restaurant sectors. The study examines how firms in the two sectors mobilise different forms of capital in the recruitment of migrant workers. While existing migration research tends to focus primarily on the capital held by migrants themselves, this article shifts attention to firms as key agents in economic fields. In doing so, it analyse…
Immigration from Yugoslavia to Sweden 1966–1971
In the period 1947–1972, large numbers of migrants arrived in Sweden to perform work, particularly in the manufacturing industry. The largest number of migrants came from Finland. Prior to the 1960s, Yugoslavia had not been a significant origin country for immigrants in Sweden, but immigration from Yugoslavia to Sweden increased in that decade. The question posed in the article is: how did Sweden become interlinked with Yugoslavia as an emigratio…
Changes in migration control during the neoliberal era
In 2008, Sweden introduced the most expansive migration policy in the OECD. The reform combines neoliberal elements with old forms of labour control in a new way. In this paper, I compare the immigration policy of 2008 with that of 1954–1972. Labour immigration from 1954 to 1972 occurred in a radically different historical context than the current market-liberal one. One important change between the two periods concerns the surveillance of migran…

Organizations, Inequality, Migration – Changes of the Ethnic Division of Labour in the Swedish Construction SectorDuring the 1990s the number of migrants from Eastern Europe increased in the Swedish construction sector. This article examines how this change was initiated by changes in the organizational population in the construction sector. The gradual enlargement of the European Union changed the institutional framework for organizations in Swe…
State, Union and Unauthorized Migrants
During the 1990s the number of unauthorized migrant workers increased in Sweden. The Building Workers' Union (BWU) reacted restrictively to this change. The political objective of the BWU was to preserve the existing institutions in immigration policy. To achieve this end, the Union cooperated with the police to detect unauthorized migrants. The Union became in fact an integral part of the internal migration control that the police performed. The…

The unauthorized migrants in the Swedish construction sector – a study in the policy of deportation 1990–2004The unauthorized migration of construction workers to Sweden increased during the 1990s, especially at the end of the decade. The migrants often came from Poland and the Baltic states.
