Introduction: Assimilation, integration or transnationalism? An overview of theories of migrant incorporation
The incorporation of immigrants is one of the most important issues both in immigration research and for immigration societies. The question of how foreigners become members of a new society and are able to enjoy full access to social, economic and political rights has been as relevant for historical immigration processes like the 19th-century European immigration to the United States as it is for the recent Syrian refugee immigration to Europe o…
Memories of Migration: Commemoration, Contestation, and Migrant Integration in the United Kingdom and Germany
Based on key concepts of memory studies, this article investigates how immigration is remembered in two different societies: the United Kingdom and Germany. Starting from the assumption that social remembering has the potential to encourage the integration of migrants, we analyze in several case studies how civil society organizations and government actors remember historical immigration processes and how the immigrant past is reflected in popula…
Refugees Welcome? Reforms of German Asylum Policies Between 2013 and 2017 and Germany’s Transformation into an Immigration Country
This article focuses on the asylum policies of the third government of Angela Merkel, which was in power from 2013 to 2017. Chancellor Merkel's decision in the autumn of 2015 to open German borders for a large number of refugees received worldwide attention and can undoubtedly be viewed as a bold and humanitarian decision. However, this article argues that Merkel's choice was also part of an ongoing transformation of Germany into a modern immigra…
Colonial memories and transnational mobilizations: Asia’s colonial veterans and their struggle for British citizenship, c. 1980–2015
This article focuses on campaigns by former colonial soldiers from Nepal and Hong Kong and their struggles for British citizenship over the last three decades. When analysing these mobilizations, we combine approaches from social movement research with insights from cultural memory studies. We use the concept of ‘relational fields’ to determine how these former colonial soldiers systematically utilized the past as a political framing device and t…
Introduction: Labour migration in Europe: Changing policies – changing organizations – changing people
Under which circumstances do labour migration policies change? When do organizations become agents of change? And what triggers significant transformation in labour migration flows? We start from the assumption that, during the last years, change in the field of labour migration has intensified. In some countries, paradigmatic changes towards more liberal immigration regimes have taken place; new organizations have emerged; and the profile of int…
Politik ohne Mandat? Gesellschaftliche Akteure und neue Formen informellen Regierens im Politikfeld Migration
Europeanization and the Negotiation of a New Labour Migration Policy in Germany: The Goodness of Fit Approach Revisited
The article focuses on the negotiation of a new labour migration policy in Germany in the years 2011 and 2012, and on the role that actors on both the regional and the European Union levels played in encouraging the introduction of a more open labour migration framework. Up until now, research has highlighted the German use of the European level for introducing more restrictive changes in migration policy. In line with these precedents, during th…
The negotiation of irregular migrants' right to education in Germany: A Challenge to the Nation-State
Despite Western European nation-states' attempts to control access to their territories, a large number of migrants live in the European immigration countries without a legal residence status. Their access to social rights is restricted by national migration control policies. Focusing on the case of Germany, this article addresses the question of which factors may, against the background of a highly restrictive migration control regime that makes…
"Des gens pas comme nous" les transmigrants turcs dans le documentaire allemand
En 2005, 1 764 041 Turcs vivaient en Allemagne. Leur présence remonte à la période d’une politique de recrutement de travailleurs étrangers menée par la République fédérale dans les années 1950 et 1960. Cette immigration de main-d’œuvre a fait l’objet de nombreuses études sur l’intégration des migrants dans la société allemande. Au cours de la dernière décennie, les phénomènes migratoires dépassant de plus en plus les frontières des États, la rec…
The Emergence of Pro‐Regularization Movements in Western Europe
Contrary to the image conveyed by existing research on irregular migrants as powerless and exploited victims of restrictive immigration policies, irregular migrants in some European countries display a strong potential for collective action. In France, Spain and Switzerland since the mid‐1990s pro‐regularization movements have emerged which have claimed the collective regularization of illegal migrants. At the centre of these new social movements…
