“…In doing this, this paper thus seeks to (1) examine local Roma-led housing and earning strategies and (2) compare two outcomes of these strategies in two very different geographical contexts. This research thereby contributes to a growing body of literature that studies and deconstructs locally organised Roma mobile earning and housing strategies (Lancione, 2019; Maestri, 2014 , Manzoni, 2017 , Tervonen and Enache, 2017 ) in a period of neoliberal reforms, soaring populism and xenophobia, and global governance of migration ( Kóczé, 2018 , Van Baar, 2018 , Yıldız and De Genova, 2018 ). However, unlike recent studies of Roma mobility, I do not draw on migrant perspectives from solely European cases.…”

“…The migratory practices of the Roma are currently constructed in dominant discourses as a European problem, and emerging scholarship (e.g., Kóczé, 2018 , Powell and Lever, 2017 , Tervonen and Enache, 2017 , Van Baar, 2018 ) is studying how migratory Roma groups are governed as legal “irregulars”. This governance is carried out in various ways and at various scales within the EU.…”

“… Berescu, 2011 , Bernal, 2005 , Manzoni, 2017 , Pivetti et al, 2017 , Sigona and Vermeersch, 2012 ). However, in recent years Roma have managed to improve their living conditions through their own initiatives ( Creţan and Powell, 2018 , Friberg, 2018 , Tervonen and Enache, 2017 ). These initiatives often rely on migratory practices, and increased Roma mobility is preoccupying politicians.…”

“…It follows the advice of van Baar (2017c) to 'de-nationalise the notion of borders' and to focus on the ways in which the exclusions of Roma from regular housing is continuous with 'bio-political bordering practices' operative at other scales. The thesis contributes to the research area in question by focusing on a region (i.e., Sweden/the Nordic countries) that so far has received little attention in the international literature (although see Barker, 2017;Ciulinaru, 2017;Hansson & Mitchell, 2018;Johansen, 2016;Tervonen & Enache, 2017). The thesis also develops an analysis of the negation and non-recognition of Roma identities and minority rights that marks the government of 'vulnerable EU citizens' in Malmö.…”

“…everyday, biopolitical and racialised bordering of the space of Europe (Fekete, 2014;Solimene, 2013;Tervonen & Enache, 2017;van Baar, 2015a;Yuval-Davis, Wemyss, & Cassidy, 2017). Notwithstanding this emphasis on biopolitical and everyday bordering and security practices, few within the field of critical Romani studies have given explicit attention to the fact that the government of Roma EU citizens on the move frequently involves a simultaneous municipalisation and urbanisation of borders and mobility control practices.…”

This thesis traces the local government response to the presence of impoverished and street-homeless so-called vulnerable EU-citizens in Malmö (Sweden's third largest city) between the years 2014-2016, and develops an analysis about how bordering takes place in cities. "Vulnerable EU-citizens" is an established term in the Swedish context, used by the authorities to refer to citizens of other EU Member States who are staying in Sweden without a right of residence and in situations of extreme poverty and marginality. A majority of those whom are categorised as "vulnerable EU-citizens" are Roma from Bulgaria or Romania. Starting from the observation that "vulnerable EU-citizens" have been pervasively problematised as unwanted migrants, the thesis asks how the municipal-and local authorities in Malmö act to discourage and otherwise manage their mobilities by controlling their conditions of stay. In doing so, it seeks to elaborate on theories about intra-EU bordering practices, and to elucidate some of the mechanisms, effects and implications of urban mobility control practices. My most sincere gratitude also goes to the scholars who so generously agreed to be discussants and readers at my (many!

Globally, policymakers have overlooked the challenges faced by international migrants in host countries during the Covid‐19 pandemic. The policies and support systems designed by host governments highlight the lack of social justice and raise concerns for scholarly attention. Considering the experiences of international migrants living in the UK during the Covid‐19 lockdown from the theoretical perspective of coping, this interpretivist study investigates international migrants’ coping strategies adopted during the first UK national lockdown. Data collected from 60 Chinese, Italian and Iranian migrants using semi‐structured interviews during the lockdown period were analysed thematically using NVivo. The findings show that migrants adopted multi‐layered and multi‐phase coping strategies. To cope with the anxiety and uncertainties caused by the pandemic, they initiated new practices informed by both home and host institution logics. Nevertheless, the hostile context's responses provoked unexpected new worries and triggered the adoption of additional and compromising practices. The paper illustrates how coping became paradoxical because migrants had to cope with the hostile reactions that their initial coping strategies provoked in the host environment. By introducing the new concept of coping with coping , this paper extends previous theoretical debate and leads to several managerial implications for governments and policymakers.
