Refugees have moved into the spotlight of public debate in Europe and North America, where they are targeted by multiple welfare state interventions. This volume analyses the tensions that emerge within the strong welfare states of Northern Europe when faced with an increased immigration of protection-seeking people. Examining the encounter between refugees and the welfare states, this book explores the daily strategies and experiences of newly settled groups and the role of media discourses and welfare policies in shaping those experiences.Building on both textual analyses and ethnographic fieldwork in welfare institutions, asylum centres, and refugee communities, this volume provides an in-depth understanding of the complex realities faced by refugees: deterrence and categorisation, struggle and success, mobility and stagnation. As social phenomena, Northern Europe's asylum systems and integration programmes must be understood in the context of the bureaucratisation of everyday life.Refugees & political asylumbicsscImmigration lawbicsscSocial welfare & social servicesbicsscSociologybicsscrefugeeswelfare statebureaucracyviolenceSwedenDenmarkGermanyUKNorwaypowerRefugees & political asylumImmigration lawSocial welfare & social servicesSociology305.9069140948Abdelhady Daliaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtGren Nina1972-edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtJoormann Martinedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910424953703321Refugees and the violence of welfare bureaucracies in Northern Europe3601466UNINA
