Why do small Western European localities promote local integration policies? A qualitative comparative analysis
While European small and medium-sized towns (SMsTs) received growing numbers of humanitarian migrants since 2014, little is still known about the (long-term) integration policies they develop and the factors driving their emergence. Most existing works on local migration policy (including those on bigger cities) are based on few case studies, often cover ‘extreme cases’, and mostly focus on asylum-seekers’ reception rather than integration. Exist…
Cities of Migration
Writing this book has been a long and ambitious journey.Inspired by the works of early pioneers such as Mahnig (2004), Glick Schiller and alar (2009) and Borkert and Caponio (2010), we started our quest to understand 'the diversity of urban diversities' already in 2018.Echoing the work from preceding decades in deconstructing 'national models of integration', we believed there should be a much greater appreciation of variation in local approaches…
Governing migration in midsize cities
This paper looks at the framing of migration in low-scale, midsize cities and its implications for local governance. It seeks to deepen understanding of migration governance in these understudied contexts facing rapid ageing, labour shortages and increased migration inflows. Through this in-depth inductive study of three Dutch localities, we build upon academic literature on governance of migration in small and medium sized cities. Taking a quali…
Why do some cities support irregular migrants? Qualitative comparative analysis of municipal activism for irregular migrants in 13 European global cities
The present study seeks to understand under which conditions cities enact inclusionary policies and practices for irregular migrants. Previous research points out the influence of political ideology, local autonomy, economic capacity, diversity, or civil society alliances. We argue that a city’s proactive and supportive stance towards irregular migrants may not be explained fully by one or another single factor, but rather by their combination. T…
Understanding the diversity of local diversities
This study examines the relation between local diversity configurations and policies in a selection of Dutch city case studies. Firstly, we identify distinct diversity configurations in Dutch cities, based on a quantitative analysis of 388 municipalities. Subsequently, we conduct a qualitative in-depth study of local policies on migration-related diversity in 10 cities representing specific diversity configurations, to assess the fit between the …
Classifying the Diversity of Urban Diversities
This paper provides an empirical classification of migration-related diversities in 166 European cities. The local turn in migration studies has shown that migration-related diversity may take varied forms in different cities. Our understanding of how and why cities differ is lagging behind the wealth of existing conceptualisations. This is partly because most studies look only at one kind of city, in particular, superdiverse global cities. This …
On uneven internationalisation, disciplinary diversity and interpretation of co-citation analysis
In this rejoinder for this special issue, we enter into dialogue with the various commentaries that our article "Between Fragmentation and Institutionalisation" received. In doing so, we address some of the commonly-identified limitations of our paper and clarify the interpretation of some of our findings. This includes key issues such as the uneven internationalisation of migration studies, the need to reveal a broader variety of disciplinary co…
Between fragmentation and institutionalisation
It is clear that the field of migration studies has grown significantly over the past decades. What is less known is how this growth has taken place. This article combines bibliometric metadata with expert interviews to analyse the institutionalisation of the field in terms of self-referentiality, internationalisation, and epistemic communities. Self-referentiality in migration studies has gradually increased as the field has grown, until recentl…
Mapping migration studies
Migration studies have developed rapidly as a research field over the past decades. This article provides an empirical analysis not only on the development in volume and the internationalization of the field, but also on the development in terms of topical focus within migration studies over the past three decades. To capture volume, internationalisation, and topic focus, our analysis involves a computer-based topic modelling of the landscape of …
