Revisiting the ideational aspects of migration and integration policy, politics and governance

Abstract

Political studies of migration and integration are an evolving field. Public debates, policy designs and governance practices produce and shape the discourses of policy-making, and thus serve as ideational resources. The contrasts between political discussions and policy enactment, practical administration and the broader setting of migration and integration governance are empirically diverse and also need different theoretical concepts and explanatory frameworks. This is the rationale of this panel that focuses on selected cases of migration and integration politics, policy and governance from the perspective of ideations. The practices in the political dimension of migration governance are contextual and contingent. The panel offers a set of empirical insights from various European states how the ideational dynamics is played out in contemporary migration and integration politics, policy and governance and also aims to generalize based on the cases, thereby advancing the debate on the ideational aspects of migration and integration policy, politics and governance.
