The Contentious Politics of Refugee and Migrant Protest and Solidarity Movements
Over the past two years, large-scale migratory movements to Europe have gained worldwide attention, and have prompted ever-greater desires to govern and control them. At the same time, we have seen the emergence of political struggles for rights to movement and demands for greater social justice, in both the global ‘north’ and ‘south’. Throughout the world, political mobilizations by refugees, irregularized migrants and solidarity activists have emerged, demanding and enacting the right to move and to stay, struggling for citizenship and human rights, and protesting the violence and deadliness of contemporary border regimes. This collection brings together articles that explore political mobilizations in several countries and (border) regions, including Brazil, Mexico, the United States, Austria, Germany, Greece, Turkey and ‘the Mediterranean’. Many of these political mobilizations can be understood as transnational responses to processes of regionalization and the intensification of restrictive border regimes across the globe, and as illustrative of what might be referred to as a ‘new era of protest’.

It fosters exchange between academic discourse and the movements of migration, and thus allows for political debate about our societies in motion. This issue takes as its theme the current developments of the Turkish migration and border regime in the wake of the EUropean migration policies in recent years. The contributors focus, on the one hand, on the so called EU-Turkey Deal and its implications on politics and society in Turkey and its neighborhood and, on the other hand, on the politics of migration and the living conditions of asylum seekers and migrants in Turkey. movements is published in print with transcript and online (open access) at www.movements-journal.org.
Politik der Inklusion und Exklusion
Internal exclusion, rather than full democratic inclusion, characterizes European immigration societies. Migrants build a part of politics and society, yet they are structurally excluded from participation in certain segments of the life. This edited volume aims to contribute to the explanation of the unequal access to differentiated rights and resources by using the concept of inclusion and exclusion. It focuses on material and symbolic mechanisms and conditions, attitudes and discourses, which produce differentiated rights and belongings of migrants. The book includes both conceptual-theoretical and empirical contributions. The topics addressed include: how spatial and temporal criteria regulate the access to social and political rights, which conflicts and negotiation processes over citizenship are taking place, which political actors are involved in these processes, and how civil society protests against exclusion.
Migrants with Irregular Status in Europe
This open access book explores the conceptual challenges posed by the presence of migrants with irregular immigration status in Europe and the evolving policy responses at European, national and municipal level. It addresses the conceptual and policy issues raised, post-entry, by this particular section of the migrant population. Drawing on evidence from different parts of Europe, the book takes the reader through philosophical and ethical dilemmas, legal and sociological analysis to questions of public policy and governance before addressing the concrete ways in which those questions are posed in current policy agendas from the international to the local level. As such this book is a valuable read to researchers, practitioners and policy makers as well as to students working on irregular migration in Europe in a comparative and/or country based perspective.
New Border and Citizenship Politics
This collection examines the intersections and dynamics of bordering processes and citizenship politics in the Global North and Australia. By taking the political agency of migrants into account, it approaches the subject of borders as a genuine political and socially constructed phenomenon and transcends a state-centered perspective.
Lokale Antworten auf aufenthaltsrechtliche Prekarität
Migrant*innen in aufenthaltsrechtlicher Prekarität sind in vielen europäischen Ländern mit Einschränkungen beim Zugang zu sozialen Leistungen konfrontiert. Das Buch beschreibt mit Beispielen aus u.a. Cardiff, Frankfurt und Wien, wie Stadtverwaltungen und zivilgesellschaftliche Akteure die betroffenen Personen in den Bereichen Gesundheit, Unterkunft und Bildung unterstützen. Die Beiträge beleuchten auch die rechtlichen, politischen und praktischen Herausforderungen, die bei der Versorgung dieses Teils der lokalen Bevölkerung bestehen.
Care Ethics and the Refugee Crisis
This book advocates for the philosophical import of care in re-evaluating problems of humanitarianism in the context of the ongoing international refugee and forced migration situation. In doing so, it rethinks the human capacity to care about the suffering of distant others. At a time when emotional resources are running low, there is a need to recast what it means to care, with the aim of generating a productive movement against the rise of value fundamentalism globally—embraced in mantras of ‘good and evil’ and ‘us and them’—and to confront xenophobia and oppressive politics. The author draws upon a wide array of rich traditions, including historical and contemporary writings ...
