Inside Immigration Law
Inside Immigration Law analyses the practice of implementing immigration law, examining the different political and organisational forces that influence the process. Based on unparalleled academic access to the German migration management system, this book provides new insights into the ’black box’ of regulating immigration, revealing how the application of immigration law to individual cases can be chaotic, improvised and sometimes arbitrary, and either informed or distorted by the complex, politically laden and changeable nature of both German and EU immigration laws. Drawing on extensive empirical material, including participant observation, interviews and analyses of public as well a...
Migrants Before the Law
This book traces the practices of migration control and its contestation in the European migration regime in times of intense politicization. The collaboratively written work brings together the perspectives of state agents, NGOs, migrants with precarious legal status, and their support networks, collected through multi-sited fieldwork in eight European states: Austria, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden and Switzerland. The book provides knowledge of how European migration law is implemented, used, and challenged by different actors, and of how it lends and constrains power over migrants’ journeys and prospects. An ethnography of law in action, the book contributes to soci...
Hinter der Grenze, vor dem Gesetz
Hunderttausende Geflüchtete erreichen jährlich die "Festung Europa". Doch was geschieht nach ihrer Ankunft? Hinter der Grenze, vor dem Gesetz ist ein rechtssoziologischer Beitrag zur Debatte um Migrationssteuerung und Zugehörigkeit. Die Studie beschreibt den Umgang mit und die Kontrolle von "unerwünschter" Zuwanderung, aber auch wie das Aufenthaltsrecht angewandt, ignoriert, umgedeutet und idealisiert wird, und wie Recht und Rechtsanwendung Handlungsspielräume von Migrant*innen gleichermaßen ermöglichen und begrenzen. Verantwortlichkeit lässt sich dabei im dichten Regime von Kontrollinstanzen häufig nur schwer verorten. Die Autor*innen beleuchten die Perspektiven von staatlichen Akteuren, NGOs, Menschen mit prekärem Rechtsstatus und verschiedenen Institutionen in acht europäischen Nationen und kommen zu dem wichtigen Ergebnis, dass alle involvierten Akteur*innen immer wieder in kafkaesken Zeitschlaufen gefangen sind und Formalität und Informalität auch in Westeuropa keine Gegenpole sind.
Suspect Families
Suspect Families is the first book to investigate the social, political, and ethical implications of parental testing for family reunification in immigration cases. Drawing on policy documents, legal frameworks, case study material and interviews with representatives of governmental and non-governmental organisation and immigration authorities, immigration lawyers, geneticists and applicants for family reunification, the book analyses the different political regimes and social arrangements in which DNA analysis is adopted for decision-making on family reunification in three distinct European countries: Austria, Finland and Germany. Interdisciplinary in scope, the book reconstructs the proces...
Diasporas and Homeland Conflicts
As violent conflicts become increasingly intra-state rather than inter-state, international migration has rendered them increasingly transnational, as protagonists from each side find themselves in new countries of residence. In spite of leaving their homeland, the grievances and grudges that existed between them are not forgotten and can be passed to the next generation. This book explores the extension of homeland conflicts into transnational space amongst diaspora groups, with particular attention to the interactions between second-generation migrants. Comparative in approach, Diasporas and Homeland Conflicts focuses on the tensions that exist between Kurdish and Turkish populations in Sw...
Social Integration and Intermarriage in Europe
Intergroup friendships and marriages are regarded as the most important indicators of immigrants’ social integration, as they represent the most intimate ties that can exist between minority and majority group members. Drawing on unique, large-scale, cross-national survey data, encompassing natives as well as Turkish, Moroccan, Pakistani and ex-Yugoslav migrants across several Western European countries, this book offers extensive analyses of intermarriage, as well as attitudes towards intermarriage and intergroup dating in general. Conceptualising the willingness or otherwise to marry outside one’s ethnic or religious group in terms of social distance, Social Integration and Intermarria...

Weak Institutions and the Governance Dilemma
