“…Zapata-Barrero and Barker (2014) have recently outlined a more complex theory that ties the structure of the state to immigration and citizenship politics at the regional level. In their schema, immigration and citizenship policy is equally relevant to the statelevel parties and SNRPs because of their nation building implications, which means that more or less decentralization does not have a uniform affect on parties at the sub-state level.…”

How do sub-state nationalists respond to the growing presence of cultural diversity in their 'homelands' resulting from migration? Sub-state nationalists in Europe, in 'nations without states' such as Catalonia and Scotland, have been challenging the traditional nation-state model for many decades. While the arguments in favour of autonomy or independence levelled by these movements have become more complex, sub-state nationalist movements remain grounded by their perceived national community that is distinct from the majority nation. Migration to the 'homeland' of a sub-state nation, then, presents a conundrum for sub-state elites that we label the 'legitimation paradox': too much internal diversity may undermine the claim to cultural distinctiveness. We engage with three common intervening variables thought to influence how sub-state nationalists confront the 'legitimation paradox': civic/ethnic nationalism, degree of political autonomy and party competitiom. Our overarching argument is that none of these factors have a unidirectional or determinate affect on the sub-state nationalism-immigration nexus, which is why the nuanced case studies that comprise this Special Issue are worthwhile endeavours.

“…The interviews, thus, displayed significant uncertainty about key issues, and the analysis indicates that the implementation of power took more intergovernmental forms, like that seen in Zapata- Barrero and Barker (2014). In this, however, the PES representatives' narratives stand out, for they show evidence of a clear need to emphasize their central role.…”

“…In order to understand how neoliberal governance can be conceptualized in the face of multiple hierarchies of actors, we have turned to the typology outlined by Zapata- Barrero and Barker (2014). This typology sets out to categorize processes of decision making by distinguishing between two of its aspects: who decides and who does (cf.…”

“…It was announced that the PES had routines in place for monitoring the quality of the service provided: a combination of random inspections and targeted investigations (Arbetsförmedlingen, 2010). Hence, from a theoretical perspective, this formal description of public-private relations indicates a hegemonic structure in which public agencies were in control of the whole process (Zapata-Barrero & Barker, 2014).…”

In the past decades, many policy sectors within European countries have encountered political reforms of neoliberal character. One of the key shifts has been the reorientation of public employment services that has been enforced, for example, through the establishment of what have been denoted as quasi-markets. Simultaneously with the rise of quasi-markets, welfare policy as a whole, including integration policy, has beenincreasingly oriented toward “activation”, with its focus on the individual’s obligationsand duties in relation to welfare services. These circumstances pose particular challenges to those charged with the governance of welfare services due to increasingly complex requirements for collaboration and control involving a multitude of actors. The reform is an example of a hybrid system where for- and non-profit actors compete for the“customer”, in this case, the newly arrived immigrant. This article focuses on the changes in Swedish integration reform as an archetype of these changes and studies a clearly defined case study. Empirically, this study draws from both documents and interviews. The article illustrates an unregulated and ill-monitored policy containing a model that comprises mixed modes of steering. The governance of the reform bears traits from both centralist and cooperative forms of governance and, thereby, involves competing philosophies of steering.
