In this book, each chapter analyses how organizational interpretations »in service of« the common good shape bureaucratic practices. Together, these ethnographic analyses reveal how migration policies in different European countries take shape in administrative practice UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783839451045?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783839451045 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783839451045/original ER -
