“…The debate on urban citizenship and sanctuary cities highlighted how the rights and access to social and welfare services for undocumented migrants are secured through local policies, especially in the context of restrictive national policies (Ataç, Schütze, and Reitter 2020;Bauder 2021). However, the role and contribution of civil society organisations (CSOs) are understudied.…”

In contrast to the increasingly repressive migration policies at national and supranational scales, new pro-migrant policies, networks, and practices of support have been initiated at the local scale. In numerous European municipalities, political visions and concrete experiences of inclusive approaches in the field of migration have emerged in recent years that combine questions of the right to global freedom of movement and social rights. While numerous studies have examined these "politics of scale" and scale-making at the local level in different places, this forum aims to further these debates by reflecting the entanglement of social movements and civil society organisations with the local municipalities across Europe and by bringing the analyses and experiences of diverse initiatives into discussion. We therefore examine practices, relations and institutions of local migration politics that re-negotiate and bypass national and supranational borders at local scales, but also create new borders and boundaries in these processes. With this multidisciplinary forum, we aim at advancing empirical analysis as well as theoretical debates in the wider field of migration and geopolitics. Each contribution deals with a concrete empirical case of local politics and the challenges that emerge in these contexts -focusing on European "host societies" in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, and Germany -as well as with analytical concepts that are key to understanding these cases and to linking them to broader societal structures and dynamics.

“…Networks can stretch beyond the boundaries of certain place. For example, Bauder (2021) stresses that solidarity with migrants in urban settings is not limited to just including migrants and refugees in living within the city boundaries, but also spreading beyond the municipal borders to connect different places into networks of solidarity. It also promotes initiatives to enable migrants and refugees who are still abroad to come to the cities.…”

Volunteers are perceived as an important link in the inclusion of migrant students in schools, when institutions cannot take care of this on their own. For the theoretical part of the article systematic literature review was done, starting with 15,826 initial results, systematically reduced to 15 sources included in the theoretical part. The article discusses the role of volunteering in the inclusion of migrant students in schools and pay special attention on the results (reasons/need to volunteer) within the RoMigSc project. While the results show that volunteers expect personal benefit (e.g. career advancement), most of them are also internally (e.g. concerned for the disadvantaged ones) and externally (e.g. people close to them also volunteer) motivated. Future research, and especially practice shall consider recruiting internally motivated volunteers to work with migrant students. Although personal benefits can also increase volunteering, internal motivation is one of the leading factors.

“…The second one is Seebrücke, in Germany. This movement started in 2018 with collectives of activists scattered across different German cities and connected via their Facebook pages (Bauder, 2021). In both cases, these groups have managed to connect their involvement with municipal authorities.…”

International migration and the rise of urban militant networks in the Mediterranean

2022

From the US to Italy, from Brazil to Japan, cities from all over the world are increasingly vocal on migration issues. Advocating for alternative approach to immigrants' welcome, their stand and policies may at times be in blunt contradiction with national approaches. This paper gives an overview of this new form of urban militancy, its recent evolution, its forms, its networks. Drawing on case studies in France, Spain and Italy, it seeks to explain why the Mediterranean has been an important setting for the politicization of municipal involvement and the rise of multi-actor power assemblage of municipalities and voluntary organizations.
