“…To ensure that the state and its units are no longer perceived as "disembodied institutions" (Mountz 2010:xxx) and to make policies and decision making less obscure, conceptual models of migration must also include the state and its bureaucracy, its institutions and its actors. One recent stream of research that considers this perspective, and in which the present study can be situated, works with the concept of "migration regimes" (Horvath 2014;Pott et al 2014) or "asylum regimes" (Morris 2002). This concept allows us to explore the interplay of political decision making, legal frameworks, and institutional configurations in the regulation of migration by providing a helpful framework for exploring the contested and complex dynamics of current migration politics from a sociological perspective (Horvath 2014).…”

“…We approach bureaucratic decision‐making relationally, inspired by scholarship interested in how a web of actors, practices, rules, and technologies affect migration control practices and how decisions about human lives come about (Horvath et al., 2017; Pott et al., 2018). Our field of inquiry can be conceptualized as “messy” and characterized by contradictions not only between state power and individuals (Forbess & James, 2018) but also between different sections and fields of public administration.…”

Focusing on the intersections between bureaucracies of welfare and migration control, this article interrogates how decisions about the future stay of non‐citizens receiving social assistance are made in a relational interplay of different offices and actors in Switzerland. We investigate how relational decision‐making is fundamental in crafting legitimate decisions about the exclusion of “poor others.” Based on ethnographic fieldwork with diverse actors involved in migration control enforcement and welfare policy implementation, this article contributes to understanding how legal regulations turn into social reality. We show that a multitude of actors, including social services, inform and affect migration control‐related decisions. This relationality co‐produces the outcome and legitimacy of the final decision taken by the respective migration office. In turn, the actors’ fields of action, values, and procedures are themselves affected by this relational involvement. The relational character of decision‐making therefore involves an expansion of migration control into other bureaucratic and social fields that co‐construct legitimate decisions concerning the deportation of “poor others” and create the illusion of a “coherent state,” invisibilizing structural inequalities.

“…The following chapters in the book build on a migration regime perspective that goes beyond a state-centric approach and presents migrants, state actors, non-state actors (such as civil society, non-governmental organisations and private companies) as mutually entwined forces and as co-constitutive for migration governance -however, endowed with highly unequal stakes (see for instance Eule et al, 2018Eule et al, , 2019Pott et al, 2018). Accordingly, the focus here is on a praxeological and relational understanding of the migration regime, which is interested in everyday practices, concrete relations and interactions between different actors as well as in the multi-layered nature of its formation.…”

EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC- ND Anna Wyss’ survey of the heavily politicised group of male migrants in Europe provides insightful analysis of both masculinity and the European migration crisis. The book tracks men’s repeated attempts to achieve permanent residence status and the successive detentions and deportations they endure. It measures the effects of precarity on their lives and explores the hope and vulnerability they experience.
