“…Overall, our findings encourage a view of CNs as political actors that play different roles depending on the (multilevel) political context in which they operate, and that adapt their discourse and actions to their strategic context (e.g., Flamant 2017; Caponio 2022). In other words, our analysis has shown that to properly understand CN mobilization in migration policymaking we must look at multilevel political relations, which significantly shape CNs’ aims, strategies and initiatives.…”

The existing literature on the multilevel governance of migration in Europe and on migration federalism in the United States tends to assume that the modes of city network (CN) mobilization can be accounted for by different institutional opportunity structures which favor collaborative relations with higher levels of government and civil society in Europe and more contentions interactions in the United States. However, comparative research on how CNs mobilize in different multilevel systems is scarce and largely focuses on official discourse. To fill this gap, this article conducts an inductive policy frame analysis of the discourse and actions of two CNs—the Working Group on Migration and Integration in Europe and Cities for Action in the United States—and examines official documents they released between 2014 and 2019. We find that the actions of CNs are often decoupled from their discourse and are centered on political advocacy, thus challenging the idea that modes of CN mobilization are shaped by institutional opportunity structures. We propose an alternative understanding of CNs as political actors that adapt their discourse and actions to the multilevel political context in which they operate, i.e., to the political leaning of national governments or to the policy issues at stake.

This article examines how three major French cities designed their immigrant incorporation policies in the early 21st century. While political and administrative structures are similar in these cities, the favored approaches-integration, equality, diversity-and the importance assigned to the issue of migration differed. Four factors explain the local shape of immigrant incorporation policies: the relationship with national authorities, the mobilization of European opportunities, the capacities of civil society, and the career paths of policy officers. This qualitative research provides insights on the "local turn" of migration policy in practice. It further illustrates how French cities may overcome a national model, although their fight against ethno-racial inequalities remains weak and inconsequent.

“…CN leaders are certainly key in this respect. They can play the role of political advocates and exert pressure for the adoption of policies that aim to empower local government institutions, as seems to be suggested by the few existing studies on the city officers leading the Migration and Integration Working Group of the Eurocities network (Flamant, 2017; Gebhardt & Güntner, 2021); or they can act as policy brokers and establish alliances with non‐governmental actors in the attempt to promote cities’ approaches to migration in high‐level policymaking venues. Although the first type of leadership will engage essentially in lobbying, the second seems more likely to spearhead collaborative modes of interaction on both the vertical and horizontal dimensions of migration policymaking.…”

Scaling migration network governance? City networks and civil society in multilevel policymaking dynamics

Although existing studies have documented the capacity of migration city networks (CNs) to mobilize on the vertical/intergovernmental dimension, there is less evidence of how CNs can contribute to scaling up network governance with societal actors beyond local jurisdictions and favour the emergence of multilevel governance arrangements. In this article, I aim to contribute to deepening our understanding of migration CN horizontal state‐‐society relations by throwing new light on how CN leaders’ agendas affect the policy actions undertaken by two migration CNs in Europe and one in the United States. Evidence shows that migration CNs engage differently with non‐public actors depending on agendas that reflect the aims of their leaders. These agendas can be more or less conducive to scaling up migration network governance. When horizontal/state–society relations are conceived as subordinate to vertical relations, lobbying and political advocacy prevail with little room for the emergence of multilevel governance.
