“…In this article, we have departed from discussing the recent phenomenon of migration politics in Western states that have strengthened the role of national languages in the control and governance of immigration. Since 2015, increasingly restrictive populist immigration policies have prevailed in Austria, including in relation to the language acquisition of migrants and refugees (Gruber, 2018;Gruber & Rosenberger, 2023;Rosenberger & Gruber, 2020). The increasing conditioning of the residence, work, and social welfare of refugees and migrants on their acquisition of German and related governmental discourses of responsibilisation have gone together with contradictory and incoherent policy-making processes that destabilise the professional actors in the field of German teaching for immigrants, such as education institutions and professional and interest groups and organisations (Flubacher, 2021).…”

Language has gained increasing importance in immigration policies in Western European states, with a new model of citizenship, the <em>ius linguarum</em> (Fejes, 2019; Fortier, 2022), at its core. Accordingly, command of the (national) languages of host states operates both as a resource and as an ideological framework, legitimating the reproduction of inequalities among various migrant and non‐migrant groups. In this article, we analyse the implications of such processes in the context of state‐subsidised language teaching for refugees and migrants in Austria. Specifically, the article aims to explore labour migration, namely that of Central and Eastern European (CEE, including EU and non‐EU citizen) professionals—mainly language teachers who enter the field of adult language teaching in Austria seeking a living and career prospects that they cannot find in the significantly underpaid educational sectors of CEE states. This article shows that the arrival of CEE professionals into these difficult and precarious jobs is enabled first by historical processes linking the CEE region to former political and economic power centres. Second, it is facilitated by legal, administrative, and symbolic processes that construct CEE citizens as second‐order teachers in the field of migrant education in Austria. Our article, based on ethnographic fieldwork and qualitative interviews, highlights nuanced ways in which historically, economically, and politically embedded language geographies contribute to the reproduction of hierarchies of membership, inclusion, and exclusion in present‐day immigration societies.

“…Finally, the intense will of populist governments to control and manage movement and mobilities and to undertake what Foucault describes as the governmentality of circulation flows (see 2009, p. 49) comes to the fore not only in the segregational logics and practices of populist migration politics (see Gruber & Rosenberger, 2023, pp. 161–163, 168).…”

This article deals with the role that different rationalities of power play in current authoritarian and right-wing populist governance. Referring to Foucauldian power theory, I will argue that power rationalities and practices in current authoritarian and right-wing populist rule are diverse and variable. I intend to show that various aspects of the sovereign, disciplinary, governmental, and pastoral types of power as outlined by Foucault play an important role in contemporary authoritarianism and right-wing populism. Thereby, this article pursues a twofold aim. On the one hand, the Foucauldian discussion of power in authoritarian and populist rationalities and practices should contribute to better understand current phenomena of new authoritarianism and right-wing populism. On the other hand, the following considerations should also provide a more detailed theoretical insight into the relation between, and compatibilities as well as incompatibilities of, the different types of power described by Foucault.
