inc easingly es ic i e mig a ion policies. This analysis helps o iden i y pa e ns and

A he con inen al le el, he Eu opean Union’s mig a ion policy has become p og essi ely

p o es s ha e been a icula ed ansna ionally in eac ion o he ep essi e condi ions o

A he na ional le el, in he case o Ge many, schola s such as Jakob (2016) ha e shown how

A he local le el, ci ies such as Be lin ha e become key si es o he sel -o ganisa ion o

In summa y, he li e a u e we ha e e iewed e eals ha esea ch on smalle -scale sel -

3 Theo e ical amewo k
The p incipal mo i a ion behind he epis emological amewo k o his esea ch lies in he

One o he cen al con ibu ions o pos colonial s udies is he no ion ha hese powe
s uc u es a e his o ically oo ed in colonial p ocesses and con inue o mani es sys ema ically
in he p esen . In his ega d, Aníbal Quijano (2000) a gues ha colonialism es ablished a
powe s uc u e based on a hie a chical social classi ica ion de e mined by acial c i e ia. He

wi h he o mal independence o he colonies bu a he was ans o med and con inues o

This concep is cen al o unde s anding how powe ela ions a e con igu ed in he ield o
mig a ion and how policies ha disc imina e agains and exclude he acialised o he a e
legi imised. In line wi h his pe spec i e, Enca nación Gu ié ez Rod íguez (2018) ex ends he
analysis o coloniali y o he ield o mig a ion by p oposing he concep o he coloniali y o
mig a ion. Acco ding o he au ho , asylum and mig a ion egimes a e shaped by a mode o
go e nance oo ed in economic in e es s and cul u al dynamics ha a e deeply embedded in
he his o ical p oduc ion o he acialised o he (Gu ié ez Rod íguez 2018, 20). Wi hin his
colonial logic, indi iduals a e ans o med in o objec s o managemen ha a e hen egula ed
h ough es ic ions, con ol de ices and adminis a i e ca ego ies such as ‘ e ugee’ o
‘asylum seeke ’ (Gu ié ez Rod íguez 2018, 24). In his way, he coloniali y o mig a ion
65
enables us o unde s and how con empo a y mig a ion policies ei e a e he acialised
objec i ica ion eminiscen o colonial imes (Gu ié ez Rod íguez 2018, 24).
This pa e n o powe can be obse ed in he a ious dispu es and obs acles aced by asylum
seeke s and e ugees h oughou hei mig a o y jou neys. In his ega d, Fede ico Oli e i
(2016) iden i ies a leas h ee majo a eas o con lic , one o which is he eedom o

and expulsion, bu also ope a e empo ally, slowing down o suspending mig a ion p ocesses
in o de o ank mig an s acco ding o shi ing c i e ia o use ulness and belonging (Oli e i
2016).
In his con ex , sel -o ganised g oups o e ugees and mig an s play a c ucial ole in esis ing
bo de mechanisms and es ic ions on eedom o mo emen imposed by mig a ion policies.
Following Odugbesan and Schwie z (2018), his sel -o ganisa ion is unde s ood as he p ocess
by which social g oups a ec ed by speci ic s uc u es o powe and domina ion build

Building upon his unde s anding o sel -o ganisa ion and esis ance, Odugbesan and
Schwie z (2018) p opose a h ee-ca ego y in e p e i e amewo k ha we ind pa icula ly
