Deutschland
(2023)
Das Kapitel beginnt mit einem kurzen historischen Überblick über den Übergang Deutschlands im 20. und 21. Jahrhundert von einem Transit- und Auswanderungsland zu einem Einwanderungsland. Der nächste Teil des Kapitels befasst sich mit den Herausforderungen und Problemen der deutschen Einwanderungspolitik in einem föderalen Mehrebenensystem. Abschließend analysiert das Kapitel einige Trends in der deutschen Migrationspolitik seit der Flüchtlingskrise 2015, wie etwa Veränderungen im Parteiensystem und in den Konzepten, die der Migrationspolitik zugrunde liegen, um die Zuwanderung nach Deutschland besser zu steuern, zu kontrollieren und zu begrenzen.
Integration von Zuwanderern
(2023)
Dieses Kapitel befasst sich mit der Beziehung zwischen der öffentlichen Meinung zur Migration und der Medienberichterstattung darüber. Verschiedene Erklärungsmodelle, darunter individuelle Merkmale, kulturelle Faktoren und der Einfluss von Medien und Politik, wurden vorgeschlagen, um die Einstellung der Öffentlichkeit gegenüber Migranten zu erklären. Es ist wichtig, den lokalen Kontext zu verstehen, da der Anteil der in den einzelnen Regionen und Städten lebenden Migranten sehr unterschiedlich ist. Die Bereitstellung korrekter statistischer Informationen, die Hervorhebung der Vielfalt der aktuellen Migrationsmuster in Europa und die Teilnahme an Medien- und öffentlichen Diskussionen sind Möglichkeiten, um die öffentliche Meinung auf lokaler Ebene zu beeinflussen.
In diesem einleitenden Kapitel beschreiben die Herausgeber die wichtigsten theoretischen Grundlagen der Analyse dieses Buches und den methodischen Ansatz. Der Kern des Buches besteht aus 14 länderspezifischen Kapiteln, die einen europäischen Vergleich ermöglichen und die zunehmende Varianz der migrationspolitischen Ansätze innerhalb und zwischen den europäischen Ländern aufzeigen. Der Grad der lokalen Autonomie, der Grad der Zentralisierung und die traditionellen Formen der Migrationspolitik sind Faktoren, die insbesondere die Möglichkeiten der lokalen Behörden beeinflussen, ihre eigene Integrationspolitik zu formulieren.
Sanctions are critical to the Security Council's efforts to fight terrorism. What is striking is that the Council's sanctions regimes are subject to detailed sets of rules and decision criteria. The scholarship on human rights in counterterrorism assumes that rights advocacy and court litigation have prompted this development. The article complements this literature by highlighting an unexplored internal driver of legal-regulatory decision-making and explores how mixed-motive interest constellations among Security Council members have affected the extent of committee regulations and the content of decisions taken by sanctions committees. Based on internal documents and diplomatic cables, a comparative analysis of the Iraq sanctions regime and the counterterrorism sanctions regime demonstrates that mixed-motive interest constellations among Security Council members provide incentives to elaborate rules to guide decision-making resulting in legal-regulatory sanctions governance, even if the human rights of targeted individuals are not at stake. For comparative leverage and to assess the limits of the proposed mechanism, the analysis is briefly extended to other sanctions regimes targeting individuals (Democratic Republic of the Congo and Sudan). The findings have implications for this essential tool of the Security Council to react to threats to peace as diverse as counterterrorism, nonproliferation, and internal armed conflict.
Schlussfolgerungen

Erwartungsgemäß spielen die Traditionen der nationalstaatlichen Migrationspolitik weiterhin eine sehr wichtige Rolle, die Pfadabhängigkeit in diesem Politikfeld bleibt hoch. Die Verteilung der Zuständigkeiten in der Migrationspolitik und der Integration von Migranten in den Nationalstaaten ist nach wie vor sehr unterschiedlich. Bei der Umsetzung von Integrationsstrategien an der Basis sollte die jeweilige Politik auf das Profil sowohl der lokalen Migrantengemeinschaft als auch der einheimischen Bevölkerung zugeschnitten sein. Daneben sind ein besseres Migrationsmanagement in der lokalen Verwaltung und das Zusammenspiel von Top-down- und Bottom-up-Bemühungen zur Integration von Migranten von Bedeutung.
A room full of ‘views’
(2023)
Quantitative research into the effectiveness of the UN human rights treaty bodies (UNTBs) in eliciting remedial responses from states is impeded by a lack of usable data on how states respond to their decisions. The new Treaty Body Views Dataset (TBVD) aims to fill this gap. It comprises details on all published decisions in individual complaints cases issued by the UNTBs between 1979 and 2019 and matches these with information on their state of compliance. The TBVD can be used for research on the activities of the treaty bodies, the nature of the decisions themselves, or state behavior following a decision. An empirical application illustrates how the TBVD can advance knowledge about the factors that correlate with compliance with adverse UNTB decisions. Results show that the likelihood of implementation hinges critically on decision-level characteristics, and reveal differences and similarities between compliance with UNTB decisions and regional human rights court judgments.
Public opinion polls have become vital and increasingly visible parts of election campaigns. Previous research has frequently demonstrated that polls can influence both citizens' voting intentions and political parties' campaign strategies. However, they are also fraught with uncertainty. Margins of error can reflect (parts of) this uncertainty. This paper investigates how citizens' voting intentions change due to whether polling estimates are presented with or without margins of error.
Using a vignette experiment (N=3224), we examine this question based on a real-world example in which different election polls were shown to nationally representative respondents ahead of the 2021 federal election in Germany. We manipulated the display of the margins of error, the interpretation of polls and the closeness of the electoral race.
The results indicate that margins of error can influence citizens' voting intentions. This effect is dependent on the actual closeness of the race and additional interpretative guidance provided to voters. More concretely, the results consistently show that margins of error increase citizens' inclination to vote for one of the two largest contesting parties if the polling gap between these parties is small, and an interpretation underlines this closeness.
The findings of this study are important for three reasons. First, they help to determine whether margins of error can assist citizens in making more informed (strategic) vote decisions. They shed light on whether depicting opinion-poll uncertainty affects the key features of representative democracy, such as democratic accountability. Second, the results stress the responsibility of the media. The way polls are interpreted and contextualized influences the effect of margins of error on voting behaviour. Third, the findings of this paper underscore the significance of including methodological details when communicating scientific research findings to the broader public.
This book brings together a variety of innovative perspectives on the inclusion of gender in the governance of (counter-)terrorism and violent extremism.
Several global governance initiatives launched in recent years have explicitly sought to integrate concern for gender equality and gendered harms into efforts to counter terrorism and violent extremism (CT/CVE). As a result, commitments to gender-sensitivity and gender equality in international and regional CT/CVE initiatives, in national action plans and at the level of civil society programming, ´have become a common aspect of the multilevel governance of terrorism and violent extremism. In light of these developments, there is a need for more systematic analysis of how concerns about gender are being incorporated in the governance of (counter-)terrorism and violent extremism and how it has affected (gendered) practices and power relations in counterterrorism policy-making and implementation.
Ranging from the processes of global and regional integration of gender into the governance of terrorism, via the impact of the shift on government responses to the return of foreign fighters, to state and civil society-led CVE programming and academic discussions, the essays engage with the origins and dynamics behind recent shifts which bring gender to the forefront of the governance of terrorism. This book will be of great value to researchers and scholars interested in gender, governance and terrorism.
The chapters in this book were originally published in Critical Studies on Terrorism.
Introduction
(2023)
Several global governance initiatives launched in recent years have explicitly sought to integrate concern for gender equality and gendered harms into efforts to counter terrorism and violent extremism. As a result, commitments to gender-sensitivity and gender equality in international and regional counterterrorism and countering violent extremism (CT/CVE) initiatives, in national action plans, and at the level of civil society programming, have become a common aspect of the multilevel governance of terrorism and violent extremism. In light of these developments, aspects of our own research have turned in the past years to explore how concerns about gender are being incorporated in the governance of terrorism and violent extremism and how this development has affected (gendered) practices and power relations in CT policymaking and implementation. We were inspired by the growing literature on gender and CT/CVE, and critical scholarship on terrorism and political violence, to bring together a collection of new research addressing these questions.
