Ideational aspects of migration and integration policy, politics and governance

Abstract

The panel will address the political dimensions of migration and integration governance from the perspective of ideations. Changing migration and integration regimes and administrative practices, the agendas of various political actors and existing public policies all interact with the discourses and practices of migrants, citizens, and street-level bureaucrats, as well as with the agency of decision-makers (politicians, officials), generating the ideations of policies and regimes. Public debates, policy designs and governance practices produce and shape the discourses of policy-making, and thus serve as ideational resources. The panel will discuss both the theoretical and empirical perspectives on this, thereby advancing the debate on the ideational aspects of migration and integration policy, politics and governance.
