This open access book presents a comparative analysis of intergroup
relations and migrant integration at the neighbourhood level in
Europe. Featuring a unique collection of portraits of urban
relations between the majority population and immigrant minorities,
it examines how relations are structured and evolve in different
and increasingly diverse local societies. Inside, readers will find
a coordinated set of ethnographic studies conducted in eleven
neighbourhoods of five European cities: London, Barcelona,
Budapest, Nuremberg, and Turin. The wide-ranging coverage
encompasses post-industrial districts struggling to counter
decline, vibrant super-diverse areas, and everything in between.
Featuring highly contextualised, cross-disciplinary explorations
presented within a solid comparative framework, this book considers
such questions as: Why does the native-immigrant split become a
tense boundary in some neighbourhoods of some European cities but
not in others? To what extent are ethnically framed conflicts
driven by site-specific factors or instead by broader, exogenous
ones? How much does the structure of urban spaces count in fuelling
inter-ethnic tensions and what can local policy communities do to
prevent this? The answers it provides are based on a multi-layer
approach which combines in-depth analysis of intergroup relations
with a strong attention towards everyday categorization processes,
media representations, and narratives on which local policies are
based. Even though the relations between the majority and migrant
minorities are a central topic, the volume also offers readers a
broader perspective of social and urban transformation in
contemporary urban settings. It provides insightful research on
migration and urban studies as well as social dynamics that
scholars and students around the world will find relevant. In
addition, policy makers will find evidence-based and practically
relevant lessons for the governance of increasingly diverse and
mobile societies.
This book provides a comparative overview of asylum seekers'
reception throughout Europe by adopting a theoretical framework
based on an analytical approach to the notion of multilevel
governance (MLG). It challenges the tendency of the MLG literature
to overlook political controversies and conflicts and questions the
assumption that it represents the best policymaking arrangement for
promoting policy convergence. In doing so, it explores the
functioning of the reception component of the Common European
Asylum System in centralised states and federal/regional states and
analyses its implementation at both national and local levels. The
book reveals the heterogeneous development of reception policies
not only across Member States but also within each country where
solutions adopted at the local level generally diverge
substantially. Furthermore, the overall centralisation of
policy-making on reception regardless the institutional structure,
seems to leave little room for MLG arrangements tailored to
specific localities and triggers tensions between central
governments and local authorities. This book will be of key
interest to scholars and students of migration and asylum studies,
immigration, (multilevel) global governance and more broadly to
comparative politics, European studies/politics and public policy.

Building upon the concept of migration regime, this open
access book brings together the works of scholars who have
investigated logics and routines of action in the field of
immigration control within a single and innovative theoretical
framework. The chapters cover a wide range of policy domains, from
visa policy to the externalisation of controls, labour migration to
asylum, internal controls towards irregular migration to
restrictions for intra-EU mobility. By unravelling organisational
strategies and practices across Europe, the book does not only
contribute to dismantling the very idea of the European North-South
divide in migration but also shows how Europe really works in the
field of migration in times of deep economic, asylum and health
crises.  In this perspective, the book questions the
widespread understanding of migration control outcomes as simply
the result of more or less effective state policies without
considering the embeddedness of the national policy goals and
strategies in the dynamic interplay of different economies,
institutional cultures and geopolitical positions.
