“…Election dates are also considered as it can be suspected that they fuel political competition. The investigation period covers the period between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2016 and thereby includes the peak of the migration flows to Europe (Luft, 2016). A test for the variable "asylum application numbers" was included to preclude high numbers of asylum applications as confounder.…”

This article examines the indirect impact of populist radical right parties on the securitisation of asylum policy. The theoretical foundation of the paper draws on classic theories of securitisation, expanding them to the field of (forced) migration and combining them with theories on indirect policy impact. In a two-step analysis, this article firstly investigates changes to asylum law in Austria and Germany from 2015 to 2016, using a policy analysis. The case studies include populist radical right parties with and without parliamentary representation. Thus, the resulting stage model also accounts for gradation of the influencing factor. In the first step of the analysis a securitisation of the policy field is revealed in both cases; however, it appears to a stronger degree in Austria. The results are then related to the strength of the populist radical right parties, operationalised as poll ratings, and to election dates to capture the behaviour of government parties under growing electoral competition. In Austria, the securitisation of asylum law could be attributed to the increasing strength of FPÖ, while the results for Germany are ambiguous. Accordingly, the results suggest that securitisation of asylum policy is more likely when populist radical right parties experience strong support from the electorate.

“…Furthermore, the legal status of migrants in their country of arrival, the establishment of social relations in that community, and the dismantling of so-called structural barriers, such as language learning, are additional relevant factors. Integration is seen as a challenge for both young people themselves (see, for example, [35]) and their society of arrival [45,46]. Media and political references to these young people most often note their inadequate German-language skills, their often low (or at least insufficient) level of education [47], and alleged cultural differences [48].…”

Learning to Adapt? Leave and Arrival as Major Psycho-Social Challenges for Newly Arrived Adolescent Immigrants in Germany

The aim of this paper is to analyse and discuss how learning is experienced by young, newly arrived immigrants in Germany. In particular, it addresses the connection between their experiences and the expectations of the German education system, as well as the connection between different kinds of learning experiences (formal and informal) in the context of adolescence. Adolescence is understood as an intergenerationally shaped psycho-social space of developmental opportunities. It is always affected and formed by aspects of social inequality such as milieu, gender, and race. Research shows that when migration takes place during adolescence, young people must cope with a “doubled transformation requirement” (King and Schwab). This paper discusses whether adolescent immigrants face even more transformation requirements—again, interwoven with learning—than two. Based on cases taken from two qualitative-interview-study samples, I reconstruct how coping strategies in terms of psycho-social development can be associated with different kinds of learning. Finally, I emphasise the responsibility of formal education as a supportive framework and stabilising factor for child and adolescent immigrants after they reach Germany.

“…Two key terms dominated media reports in Germany in the summer and early autumn of 2015: firstly, 'refugee crisis' (see for example Mattissek and Reuber 2016;Fleischmann and Steinhilper 2017;Luft 2016) 2 discrediting the huge number of incoming refugees, and secondly, the appreciative term 'welcome culture' (Mattissek and Reuber 2016;Sutter 2017). 3 Some authors even speak of a 'summer of welcome' (e.g.…”
