TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the role of local governments in the context of broader multi-level governance (MLG) networks and focus on a policy topic that is currently challenging MLG in Europe in a profound way: immigrant policies.
Abstract: This Special Issue speaks to the emergent literature on the role of local governments in the context of broader multi-level governance (MLG) networks (Bache and Flinders, 2004; Hooghe and Marks, 2001; Peters and Pierre, 2001; Piattoni, 2010; Stephenson, 2013). Although often applied to European Union (EU) national-state relations or to federal states, we believe that MLG can also be used as a framework of analysis for relations between local, regional, national and EU governments in a broader sense. Furthermore, much of the MLG literature is currently considering specific policy areas, such as environment, climate change, social cohesion and higher education. Instead, we will focus on a policy topic that is currently challenging MLG in Europe in a profound way: immigrant policies. In particular, we consider the linkages between MLG and the growing importance of local governance in the area of immigrant policies. Although often strongly framed in the context of national models of integration, recent studies direct attention to the local – mainly city – level, which has become increasingly prominent and entrepreneurial in the field of migrant integration. In this respect, we will speak of a ‘local turn’ that we will attempt to make sense of from an MLG perspective. This Special Issue argues that although there is a growing interest in the local governance of migrant integration, very little work has been done on the implications of this turn for the MLG of migrant integration (see, for instance, the seminal

TL;DR: In this paper, the role played by immigrants' associations in local policy networks in Italy is analyzed and the authors find out if differences in the political opportunity structure have an impact on the development of immigrant organizations and on their influence in the policy-making process.
Abstract: This article analyses the role played by immigrants’ associations in local policy networks in Italy. The aim is to find out if differences in the political opportunity structure have an impact on the development of immigrant organisations and on their influence in the policy-making process. In the first part of the article I describe the evolution of immigrants’ associations in Italy by focusing on the institutional opportunity structure, defined here as the resources granted by national legislation to support immigrants’ associations. In the second part I focus on three cases that represent different areas of the country: Milan, Bologna and Naples. These cities have been governed by different political majorities since the mid-1980s, and are thus characterised by differences in the political opportunity structure. The question I ask is: do different configurations of power, right-wing or left-wing, provide different institutional opportunities for immigrants’ associations? And how do these different oppo...

TL;DR: The concept of multilevel governance (MLG) seems to point to a quite obvious reality: all states are structured along multiple layers of government, and public policy, regardless of the level of government as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyse the relationship between Diaspora and transnationalism in academic and political discourses and argue that the inflation of meanings goes hand in hand with a danger of essentialising collective identities.
Abstract: Diaspora & transnationalism are widely used concepts in academic & political discourses. Although originally referring to quite different phenomena, they increasingly overlap today. Such inflation of meanings goes hand in hand with a danger of essentialising collective identities. This book analyses this topic.
