This open access book deals with contestations "from below" of
legal policies and implementation practices in asylum and
deportation. Consequently, it covers three types of mobilization:
solidarity protests against the deportation of refused asylum
seekers, refugee activism campaigning for residence rights and
inclusion, and restrictive protests against the reception of asylum
seekers. By applying both a longitudinal analysis of protest events
and a series of in-depth case studies in three immigration
countries, this edited volume provides comparative insights into
these three types of movement in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland
over a time span of twenty-five years. Embedded in concepts of
political change, limited state sovereignty, and migration control,
the findings shed light on actors, repertoires, and the effects of
protest activities. The contributions illustrate how local
contexts, national political settings, issue specifics, and social
ties lead to distinctly different forms of protest emergence,
dynamics, and strategies. Additionally, they give a profound
understanding of the mechanisms and constellations that contribute
to protest success, both in terms of preventing deportations of
individuals as well as changing policies. In sum, this book
constitutes a major contribution to empirically informed
theoretical reflections on collective contestation in the fields of
refugee studies and social protest movements.
