The Russia–Ukraine war
Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia on 24 February 2022 and the enmity that has ensued between the West and Russia, the position of the Global South in this war and its implications for the current and future world order has been the object of ample and sometimes acrimonious debate. This study makes a contribution through an analysis of the voting behaviours of the G77 countries, the largest representative organisation of the Globa…
The Arc of Nordic Multiculturalism Policies (1974–2006). A Divergent Convergence
Nordic countries are similar when it comes to migratory trends. However, when the ‘multicultural question’ erupted in the 1970s, they opted for different policies. In the early 2000s, some scholars analysed a retreat from multiculturalism policies and a civic integrationist turn. Yet, our knowledge of the processes of convergence or divergence per se of these policies is still limited. Using the comparative method, this article shows that, during…
The 2015 EU‐Africa joint Valletta action plan on immigration
In 2015, as the “refugee crisis” unfolded, the European Union negotiated deals respectively with Turkey and many African countries to stem the influx of asylum seekers. But little comparatively has been said about its African deal, the Joint Valletta Action Plan (JVAP) and its impact. Using migration policy theories, this article shows that the African deal, embodied in the concept of “shared responsibility,” amounts to a special kind of interest…
The birth of Sweden’s multicultural policy. The impact of Olof Palme and his ideas
The breadth of Sweden’s multicultural policy has left it as one of the few truly multiculturalist countries in the West. This exceptionalism is puzzling and has generated a lot of attention from scholars and the public alike. Using a policy process perspective, this article traces its process of adoption in the 1970s. It shows that the adoption of an official multicultural policy relied crucially on Olof Palme and his ideas in his role as an ‘act…
Towards an ever “closer” union? Refugee Policy and Social Cohesion in Eastern EU Member States
In the grand chessboard of refugee politics that has spooked Western Europe since the first “migration crisis” broke out in the mid-1980s, a new opening has appeared with an ominious sign for the f
Danish and Swedish immigrants’ cultural policies between 1960 and 2006
In the late 1960s, as non-Nordic immigrants became an important component of their immigration flows, despite their similar policy backgrounds Sweden opted for multiculturalism, while Denmark did not. Their policies diverged even further from the so-called migration crisis of the 1990s. This article compares and analyses Sweden and Denmark’s respective policies between 1960 and 2006, arguing that their policies effectively diverged in the late 19…
