| Sumario: | This dissertation investigates the responses of European cities to irregular migrants. The first chapter uses a localist approach to understand variations in local policies and practices. A typology of urban solidarity is developed, revealing a spectrum of transformative practices and diverse contentions. The second chapter employs a relational approach, exploring factors influencing the adoption of inclusive policies for irregular migrants. Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) is used to analyze 13 European cities, identifying necessary and sufficient conditions for municipal activism. Local alliances between the local government and local civil society organizations and political discrepancy between the local and national governments emerge as essential factors. The third chapter delves into a single case study, employing ethnographic research methods to understand the experiences of irregular migrants as targets of local policies and practices. Critical insights illuminate the (in)visibility paradox, involving institutional (in)visibility, (in)visibility as marginalization and (in)visibility as strategy based on intersectional identities of irregular migrants. |
