PROTEST MOVEMENTS IN ASYLUM AND DEPORTATION GEB...

This open access book deals with contestations from below of legal policies and implementation
practices in asylum and deportation. Consequently  it covers three types of mobilization:
solidarity protests against the deportation of refused asylum seekers  refugee activism
campaigning for residence rights and inclusion  and restrictive protests against the reception
of asylum seekers. By applying both a longitudinal analysis of protest events and a series of
in-depth case studies in three immigration countries  this edited volume provides comparative
insights into these three types of movement in Austria  Germany  and Switzerland over a time
span of twenty-five years. Embedded in concepts of political change  limited state sovereignty
and migration control  the findings shed light on actors  repertoires  and the effects of
protest activities. The contributions illustrate how local contexts  national political
settings  issue specifics  and social ties lead to distinctly different forms of protest
emergence  dynamics  and strategies. Additionally  they give a profound understanding of the
mechanisms and constellations that contribute to protest success  both in terms of preventing
deportations of individuals as well as changing policies. In sum  this book constitutes a major
contribution to empirically informed theoretical reflections on collective contestation in the
fields of refugee studies and social protest movements.
