Накратко на български

Мрежите от градове в Европа и Северна Америка се анализират в контекста на управлението на миграцията. Това помага да се разбере ролята на местните общности и ограниченията на държавната власт при създаването на политики за миграцията.

Migration Policy in Multilevel Political Settings. City Network in Europe and North America

MInMUS has addressed the still undexplored nexus between City Network (CN) organisations and multilevel governance (MLG) policymaking on the highly topical migration issue. Migration represents a typical matter of national sovereignty on which states have always been reluctant to share power with either local or supra-national authorities. It can be considered a least-likely case for MLG. Nevertheless, in the early 2000s migration CNs have been established in various multi-level political systems. MInMUS has investigated this puzzle in the European Union supranational system and the Unitied States federal polity. MInMUS contributes towards European policy objectives and provides useful insights for policymaking on migration issues in three ways. First, it contributes to a more in-depth understanding of the role of cities in the global governance of migration. Second, it sheds light on how multilevel governance on contentious migration issues is actually built, providing a realistic assessment of both potentialities and limits of MLG-policymaking arrangements. Third, it sets the basis for a re-thinking of the modes of migration governance prevailing in the EU system, which appear still too much focused on member states and take poorly into account the multifaceted needs of local communities. To this end, MinMUS has pursued three key objectives: 1) To expand the state of knowledge about urban international networking on the highly topical migration issue by considering European and North American experiences at the same time; 2) To contribute to the theorising of migration policy in multilevel political settings by bringing research on migration policy into conversation with the multidisciplinary field of studies on cities’ international networking and with political science literature on MLG; 3) To influence ‘real world’ migration policy by directly engaging with the main stakeholders of the research action in a reflexive dialogue on the role of cities and their networks in migration policymaking.

Цел на проекта

MInMUS investigates why, how and with what effects City Networks (CNs henceforth) voluntarily mobilise to enhance cities’ capacity to promote innovative approaches to migration governance. It does so by examining four CNs in three multilevel political settings, i.e. the supranational EU system and federalist states of Canada and the United States. The ambition is to make an original and pathbreaking contribution to the theorisation of migration policymaking and of Multilevel Governance (MLG) more generally. To this end, I conceptualise MLG as a specific configuration of policymaking which challenges state-centred hierarchies (vertical dimension) and blurs state–society boundaries (horizontal dimension); yet, contrary to the prevailing normative approach underlying the literature, I adopt a critical perspective on ‘governance’, and I regard it as both the interactive processes that lead to the production and implementation of policy and as the sets of ideas and discourses that policy actors elaborate about these processes (in terms of cooperation, coordination, participation etc). Building on this approach, MInMUS will push forward the boundaries of research on the MLG of migration in three ways: 1) from the theoretical point of view MInMUS will take an actor-centred perspective with the goal of theorizing about the institutional and political mechanisms and factors that account for the emergence of CNs as instances of MLG policy arrangements (‘why’ questions); 2) from the empirical point of view MInMUS will fill a key gap in existing research by investigating how CNs mobilise on migration and with what effects; and 3) from the methodological point of view, MInMUS will provide an innovative and comprehensive approach to the study of CNs and MLG, which combines a comparative research design with the use of both qualitative and quantitative methods.
