Call for Papers: Governing migration: current and emerging research on governance and migration policies
A one-day symposium at the University of Bristol, 17th June 2016.
Governance-based research has become the focus of an increasingly important and diverse research agenda within migration studies, with several research centres in the UK (and elsewhere) carrying out interesting and innovative research on the actors, institutions, networks and discourses involved in the governance of migration policies. While much of this research stems from work on multilevel governance within the EU, a growing number of researchers are exploring other forms of governance and their implications for immigration and integration policies both within the EU and beyond.
Hence, the aim of this symposium is to bring together a few of the current strands of scholarship in this area and to look at future directions for governance-related migration research.
Relevant themes
We welcome papers that contribute to this research agenda, including those that explore:
Developments in multilevel governance (especially within the EU);
New/evolving forms of governance;
Policymaking processes and advocacy;
Governmentality and technologies of governance;
Democracy and devolution;
Theoretical and methodological issues associated with governance-based; frameworks; and
Ideas and insights for future research directions in relation to migration studies.
