The introduction builds on recent debates, e.g. in the Berlin Migration Lab, that claim to connect, rather than separate the regimes governing borders and mobilities in joint, rather than separated research fields. We argue that this combined view allows us to investigate the power relations between the privileged freedom of movement of the Few (classified as global Northern, white travelers, tourists, expatriates) and the interdependent, entangled, stigmatized movements of the Many (declassified as global Southern, non-white migrants and refugees). We propose to focus on overlapping, intersecting mobilities_regimes to arrive at a broader understanding of dynamic assemblages of practices of mobilities and politics of de/regulation: assemblages in which also the category “migration” is positioned and negotiated in relation to other projects of mobility. The introduction invites to read the contributions to this volume of Movements from this conceptual angle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the question of Jewish legal belonging in the pre-1866 history of Romania's Donau principalities. It explores debates about Jews' legal status, delving into historical traditions and the impact of external imperial categorizations on their belonging, challenging assumptions about their status before the constitution of 1866. The topics covered include the legal and societal contexts shaping Jewish identity, the evolving dynamics of governance, and the impact of imperial frameworks on Jews' status and belonging in the Danube principalities.

While the migration literature has since long dealt with the question of alterity and worked on sharpening of contours of the ›Self‹ and the ›Other‹, the contemporary authors with the so called migration background tend to focus on the overlapping rather than segregating the categories of alterity. Irena Brežná's multidimensional work looks at ›constructions‹ such ›nation as Space‹ and the spatial category of ›Heimat‹ in the specific German context. This paper concentrates on Irena Brežná's attempts to overcome the alleged segregation of ideological constructs like ›Heimat‹ and the ›Foreign‹ and how she takes a step forward in the trans-integrational direction. The paper argues with the help of her novel The thankless Foreigner that her conscious polemical approach towards concepts such ›land of origin‹ and ›land of arrival‹ no longer serve any purpose as far as the creative expression in multiple languages is concerned.

The article analyzes the efforts of Churches, NGOs, and government organisations for integration of newly arrived foreigners in Germany and presents their stories of successful incorporation in the community through inter-cultural meetings.

For the first time refugee and migrant protests have developed into a social movement in Germany. The refugee movement is also part of a transnational network, which has developed during and in accordance with the current protest cycle started by the Arab Spring. Broad mobilizations spring from this movement but have not yet let to substantial changes due to the post-crisis restructuring of the EU with „margin“ and „central“ countries. While the neoliberal restructuring in the global south is causing the „production of migration“ to speed up, also the „99 percent“ in the global north are concerned. The migrant and refugee movement is challenging the base of this neoliberal agenda as it aims at the functioning of deterrence, control and deprivation in the global south and north.

Evident xenophobia in Germany is seen as apparent in a flood of relevant publications and media reportage. The author detects, however, a range of reactions to foreigners including a denial of any problem and diverse reactions according to the country of origin of those foreign residents in question. Statistics of foreign residents by nationality, their lengths of stay, and annual immigration numbers are provided.

The article presents several news briefs on social policy activity in Germany and Europe during the spring of 1983.

Legal disputes over drug imports went before the provincial court in Cologne. Several bills related to social policy were proposed.

The article discusses the problematics of foreigners living in Germany, their social costs, repatriation, and in particular their education. The issue is examined as it plays out in the province of North Rhine-Westphalia, which houses about a third of Germany's foreign, largely Turkish, residents. Foreign pupil school enrollments are tabulated in detail. Potential higher employment through a redeployment of excess of teaching staff is examined.

The article discusses the patchwork nature of social welfare at the local level in Germany. The discrepancies arise from differences in local employment rates, regional development, numbers of foreign residents, people living in poverty, and the numbers of long-term unemployed. These factors lead to differences in social integration and social exclusion patterns.

The article discusses a new East German (DDR) constitution's recognition of foreigners' human rights and its emphasis on their social integration.

Issues such as individual pension calculations and pension formulas are a main consideration surrounding the viability of the FANG.
