In times when immigrant integration is considered both a highly salient political topic and a practical challenge by local, national, and European decision-makers, an analysis of the governance approach developed by the European Union (EU) Urban Partnership on Inclusion of Migrants and Refugees opens up new opportunities to advance research on migration studies’ “local turn.” In this IMR Dispatch from the Field, we argue that exploring the joint local-EU agenda-setting and cooperation in the Urban Partnership on Inclusion can refine understandings of multilevel governance. We argue that what is intriguing about the Urban Partnership on Inclusion for migration scholars is the institutionalization of local–supranational cooperation within an existing intergovernmental EU structure as a way to advance multilevel governance, even when the national level remains passive. Demonstrating the ways in which the Urban Partnership on Inclusion differs from city networks focused on questions of migration and integration, we show that the Urban Partnership on Inclusion offers a common structure to EU institutions and local authorities to coordinate agendas and actions, both from the local level upward and from the EU level downward while aiming to find ways around national passivity. Paying closer attention to such forms of institutionalized local–supranational governance developing within state-led structures, we suggest, can advance migration research and shed light on emerging local–supranational governance arrangements both at the European and the international levels.

欧盟城市包容性伙伴关系:将地方-超国家一体化治理制度化

在移民融合被地方、国家和欧洲决策者视为一个高度突出的政治话题和实际挑战的时代,对欧盟 (EU) 移民和难民包容城市伙伴关系制定的治理方法的分析为推进移民研究的“地方转向”研究开辟了新的机会。在这个IMR我们认为,在“城市包容性伙伴关系”中探索地方-欧盟联合议程设置和合作可以改善对多层次治理的理解。我们认为,对于移民学者来说,包容性城市伙伴关系的有趣之处在于,在现有的政府间欧盟结构中将地方-超国家合作制度化,作为推进多层次治理的一种方式,即使在国家层面仍然处于被动状态时也是如此。展示城市包容性伙伴关系与专注于移民和融合问题的城市网络的不同方式,我们表明城市包容性伙伴关系为欧盟机构和地方当局提供了一个共同的结构来协调议程和行动,从地方层面向上和从欧盟层面向下,同时旨在寻找解决国家被动性的方法。我们建议,密切关注在国家主导的结构中发展的这种制度化的地方-超国家治理形式,可以推进移民研究,并阐明欧洲和国际层面新兴的地方-超国家治理安排。
