At the latest since the so-called migration and refugee crisis in 2015/2016, immigration has been regarded as an area of conflict in society that is becoming increasingly contested. While some groups promote a «welcoming culture« and experience migration as a social enrichment, opponents advocate border closures and see immigration as a cultural an...

The cosmopolitan dream of a borderless world has little to do with reality. Today's borders bear witness to regulatory intervention in the circulation of goods, information, capital and people. These interventions, naturally, have an impact at border regions. For analyzing these impacts, we map, quantify and relate border typologies, development dy...

Migration has become a contested issue in post-migrant democracies. This special issue takes the contested nature of migration as a starting point to shed light on the interrelation between democracy and migration. The aim is to assess the challenges and democratic potentials of the increasing politicisation of migration. Part I scrutinises the con...

Die Globalisierung ist zur allgegenwärtigen Gewissheit geworden. Doch wie zutreffend ist das Konzept »Globalisierung«, wenn zeitgleich nationale Grenzen gestärkt und transnationale Freihandelszonen ausgeweitet werden, wenn auf unterschiedlichen scales Territorien überwunden und zugleich territoriale Abgrenzungen neu gesetzt werden? Aktuelle Verände...

This article investigates the reintroduction of temporary border controls in the Schengen Area. The Schengen Borders Code (SBC, Article 25 et seq.) allows signatory states to reinstate temporary border controls in specific circumstances that constitute a serious threat to public policy or internal security either due to foreseeable events (Art. 27)...

The globalizing forces of trade, capital movement, the circulation of information, and human mobility have challenged conventional understandings of borders as entry gates that are under the firm control of nation states. Some scholars have even assumed that nation states would eventually lose control of their borders due to new challenges. However...

This article investigates how states design their border infrastructures. We attempt to link the characteristics of borders to specific socio-political contexts, with a particular focus on borders as material and physical structures that states set up in order to demarcate, control, and seal off their territory. For this purpose, we introduce the “...

Zusammenfassung In vielen westlichen Gesellschaften wird die Verteilungsfrage wieder stärker diskutiert. Mit den Debatten um Identitätspolitik und Migration sind aber weitere Konflikte in den Vordergrund getreten, sodass nicht mehr nur materielle Ungleichheitsfragen im Fokus stehen. In den wissenschaftlichen und publizistischen Debatten ist häufig...

Fabian Gülzau und Steffen Mau schlagen aus soziologischer Perspektive zwei konzeptionelle Achsen für die Analyse von Optimierungsprozessen vor: Die eine Achse bildet den Pol der Selbstentfaltung, die andere den Pol der Statusarbeit. Optimierungspraktiken – dies wird am Beispielen elterlicher Erziehungsarbeit illustriert – sind nie nur das eine oder...

This article explores the newspaper discourse surrounding a paradigm shift in social policy. The case at hand, Germany, is a prime example of a welfare state that was particularly resistant to reform. Hence, the rapid paradigm shift in German family policy since the late 1990s is puzzling. This study seeks to resolve this puzzle by drawing on the i...

In this article, I investigate preschool children’s participation in organised activities. Current political and academic debates consider informal education as a prime vehicle for potentially diminishing social class inequalities in educational outcomes before school entry. However, studies point to unequal participation rates between social class...

This explorative article contributes to research on models of “good parenting” by analyzing whether current demands of politics, science and advice literature are discussed in a large German parenting online forum. The data consists of 58,240 user submissions to a digital discussion board. Using this digital data, it can not only be analyzed which...

Visa policies today are a central instrument for filtering wanted and unwanted types of travellers, leading to a hierarchy of mobility rights. While there is evidence of a “global mobility divide”, we still know little about the role of regional integration when it comes to the distribution of mobility rights and the (re)structuring of mobility spa...

This article addresses the question of how the financial and economic crisis that hit the USA in the late 2000s impacted immigration policies. We find that the crisis has not significantly changed dynamics. Instead, it has highlighted and aggravated persisting trends. Drawing on Kingdon’s multiple streams model and combining it with the notion of t...

While visa policies are the major instrument for regulating and controlling the global flow of people, little is known about how they have changed over time. Accordingly, scholars have expressed the need for large-N data-sets which cover more than one point in time. This article takes up this challenge and presents for the first time a global overv...
