Zusammenfassung: Aus der Perspektive europaischer Wissenschaftler, die am Beginn ihrer akademischen Laufbahn stehen, fuhrt der vorliegende Artikel in die zeitgenossische Migrationsforschung Europas ein. Im Einzelnen wird der Umgang mit Selbst-Reflexivitat als einem zentralen Instrument diskutiert, um die qualitative Datenanalyse fur die vielfaltigen Dimensionen der heutigen Migrationsund Ethnizitatsforschung in Europa zu sensibilisieren. Als Teil und Ausdruck dieser Selbstreflexivitat tragt der vorliegende Beitrag den vielschichtigen Verbindungen und Beziehungen Rechnung, welche die Interaktion von Forschenden und Forschungsteilnehmenden bestimmen. Es wird gezeigt, wie diese sich sogar noch komplizierter und verwirrender gestalten, wenn auserhalb des Herkunftslandes eines Wissenschaftlers oder einer Wissenschaftlerin und innerhalb eines nationalen Kontextes geforscht wird, dem Forschende nicht "genuin“ angehoren. In den letzten Jahren hat die Europaische Kommission den wissensc...

The European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions is an autonomous body of the European Union, created to assist in the formulation of future policy on social and work-related matters. Further information can be found on the Foundation website at www. The paper used in this publication is chlorine-free and comes from managed forests in northern Europe. For every tree felled, at least one new tree is planted. City of Stuttgart and the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions came together to form a 'European network of Cities for Local Integration Policy of Migrants' (CLIP). The CLIP network, which was officially launched in Dublin in September 2006, aims to bring together 25 large European cities in a joint learning process over several years, aimed at supporting the social and economic integration of migrants, at combating social inequalities and discrimination and helping immigrants to preserve their cultural ident...

This Working Paper illustrates 50 years of migration towards Germany, focusing particularly on processes of migration policy-making at different institutional levels of governance: the Bundesrepublik (Nation state), the Laender (Regions) and the Gemeinden (municipalities) ...

As academics we increasingly face pressure to prove the impact that our research is having on the wider world. From climate change to demographic explosion, from economic instabilities to ethnic and religious-driven unrest, from rampant right-wing populism to water scarcity and famine – scientists are increasingly expected to work together in an interdisciplinary manner to solve the grand challenges our society is facing. Unfortunately, research that transcends conventional disciplinary boundaries is harder to fund, to conduct, to review and even to publish. Those who attempt it may very well end up struggling for recognition, support and scientific advancement. Combining aspects from a wide range of academic disciplines such as economics, sociology, political science and geography, the study of international migration is deemed to be an interdisciplinary field of research par excellence. But while the coexistence of different perspectives allows to produce a richer body of literatu...

In entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs), geographical and contextual factors play a big role in shaping the knowledge bases for digital innovation. While cities around the world compete to be perceived as successful “tech startup hubs”, proactive urban strategies are needed to create knowledge spillovers into EEs. This study explores the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) knowledge practices in the EEs of Berlin and Sydney by using knowledge-spillover theory of entrepreneurship. The study utilizes a bibliometric analysis of secondary data in combination with exploratory stakeholder interviews conducted for both cities. Findings underline the critical role of experimental knowledge in driving the momentum of the EEs and the supporting role of policies imprinting knowledge practices. The paper shows how the dynamics of EEs can be explored empirically and raises awareness of the role of specialised and integrated policies in determining a city’s overall success in building EEs.

For displaced people, migrating into Europe has highly complex information needs about the journey and destination. Each new need presents problems of where to seek information, how to trust or distrust information, and financial and other costs. The outcomes of receiving poor or false information can cause bodily harm or death, loss of family, or financial ruin. We aim to make two major contributions: First, provide rich insights into digital literacy, information needs, and strategies among Syrian and Iraqi refugees who entered Europe in 2015, a topic rarely dealt with in the literature. Second, we seek to change the dominant perspective on migrants and refugees as passive victims of international events and policies by showing their capacities and skills to navigate the complex landscape of information and border regimes en route to Europe. Building on research at Za’atari refugee camp (Jordan), we surveyed 83 Arab refugees in two centers in Berlin. Analyses address refugees’ tem...

This searching study offers a fresh perspective on immigrant integration policy in European and North American cities. Seeing just where and how immigrants and their receiving societies interact on a daily basis, the authors expose societal inclusion as it operates at ...

International migration movements are often explained from an economic perspective. To do so, scholars may refer to the real or perceived differences in wage and employment opportunities between countries that cause 'flows' of labour and capital (Harris & Todaro ...
