BASIC INFORMATION
ABOUT THE GUEST PROFESSORSHIP IN MEMORY
OF WILLY BRANDT AT IMER, MALMÖ UNIVERSITY
The Guest Professorship at IMER in Memory of Willy Brandt is a gift to Mal-mö University fi nanced by the City of MalMal-mö and sponsored by MKB Fastig-hets AB. It was donated to IMER on the occasion of the inauguration of Malmö University on 31 August 1998, and signed by Ilmar Reepalu, Chairman of the Municipal Executive Board.
The purpose of the Professorship is to strengthen research at Malmö Univer-sity in the fi eld of international migration and ethnic relations. It is therefore located at the School of International Migration and Ethnic Relations (IMER), which was established in 1997 as a multi- and transdisciplinary academic edu-cation and research fi eld at Malmö University (see www.imer.mah.se).
As IMER has a strong international focus, the City of Malmö sought, via the Guest Professorship, to reinforce contacts with international experts in order to ensure that they would become an integral part of IMER’s research and teach-ing. To this end, an internationally oriented Guest Professorship creates a con-stant exchange of knowledge and ideas and enhances IMER’s academic strength. The gift from the City of Malmö also includes a Research Fellow (forskarassistent) and a Postgraduate Student (doktorand) post, which are pre-sented in Part 5 and Appendix 3 respectively.
In order to emphasise the importance and the status of the scientifi c invest-ment in a Guest Professorship, with its associated posts within IMER, the City of Malmö has obtained the family’s permission to name Guest Professorship after the former Chancellor of West Germany, Willy Brandt. The motives for naming it Guest Professorship in Memory of Willy Brandt are as follows:
• Willy Brandt was forced to leave his native country when the Nazis assumed
power and live in Norway until the outbreak of war. He subsequently lived in Sweden as a refugee during the war. Throughout his life he had mantained strong ties with Scandinavia.
• Willy Brandt was, in his political actions, an active forceful opponent of all
forms of racism.
• Willy Brandt was a leading fi gure in the struggle for human rights. He also
In the fi ve-year period from Autumn 2000 to Autumn 2005, Rainer Bauböck (Austria), Grete Brochmann (Norway), Sandro Cattacin (Switzerland), Jock Collins (Australia), Don DeVoretz (Canada), Thomas Faist (Germany), Kathe-rine Fennelly (USA), Marco Martiniello (Belgium), Nikos Papastergiadis (Australia), John Rex (UK), and Ellie Vasta (Australia/UK) have held the Wil-ly Brandt Guest Professorship post. Part 2 of this report offers a detailed over-view of their research profi les and activities at IMER.
The Guest Professors give lectures to IMER students, and have additionally helped several students in connection to their studies abroad as exchange stu-dents. The Guest Professors also meet regularly with the PhD candidates to offer them individual consultations, small group seminars or reading courses. They facilitate three seminars for the IMER staff as part of the regular research seminar series. Each Guest Professor also gives one public lecture which aims at a wider audience, particularly the offi cials and practitioners of the City of Malmö. Articles based on these public lectures are published in The Willy
Brandt Series of Working Papers in International Migration and Ethnic Rela-tions, in conjunction with other Guest Professors’ papers. The titles and
ab-stracts of the papers published in the Series are listed in Part 3 of this report. International workshops and conferences have also been organised under the auspices of the Willy Brandt Guest Professorship, including “Globalisation in the Local Community” in November 2000 with Prof. Reiner Bauböck, “Trans-national Spaces: Disciplinary Perspectives”, in June 2003 with Prof. Thomas Faist, a conference on “Immigrant Ascension to Citizenship: Recent Policies and Economic and Social Consequences”, with Prof. Don DeVoretz in June 2004, and three workshops on “Health and Migration” during the course of Prof. Cattacin’s stay at IMER in Autumn 2005. See Appendix 4, 5, 6 and 7 for further details.
The book Transnational Spaces: Disciplinary Perspectives came out as the fi rst Willy Brandt conference proceedings in 2004. Two more books are in pro-gress; details of which are available in Part 3 of the report.
PART 2
THE GUEST PROFESSORS’
RESEARCH PROFILES, SEMINARS,
WORKSHOPS, AND TEACHING
The Guest Professors in Memory of Willy Brandt at IMER are, in the fi rst in-stance, expected to exchange ideas, information and research insights with the teachers, researchers and doctoral students at IMER - both formally in the fram-es of rfram-esearch seminars, and informally through their daily, social interactions. They are also expected to teach a couple of undergraduate classes and are encouraged to make contacts and develop networks not only with the teachers and students at IMER but also with other Schools of Malmö University and other academic institutions in Sweden. As academic institutions are shaped by the scholars affi liated to them, it goes without saying that the Guest Professors’ networking in Sweden and incorporation in manifold scholarly contexts contri-butes to IMER’s and Malmö University’s academic profi le by making it much more visible in Sweden as well as internationally.
At the end of their stay at IMER, the Guest Professors are expected to com-plete the manuscripts of two scientifi c papers to be published in the series con-nected to the Guest Professorship position, as presented in Part 3 of this report. While the exchange of ideas, research insights and networking is naturally a potential benefi t for the Guest Professors themselves as much as for the people affi liated to IMER, the Guest Professorship is also highly attractive as an oasis of concentrated reading and writing. Many of the visiting scholars lack such opportunities in their regular work places; something to be expected in view of the duties and responsibilities associated with their distinguished positions. While much of their time at IMER is devoted to undisturbed reading and writ-ing, many Guest Professors have readily responded to a variety of invitations - often at short notice - to participate in workshops at IMER and elsewhere in Sweden, as well as give papers and keynote speeches at international conferen-ces. This report on their activities gives some insight into the breadth and depth of their interests and the audiences they were addressing. At the same time, it conveys the understanding that no successful academic career can be
underta-ken in isolation and that a semester of academic work can rarely be planned in detail. Obligations and follow-up tend to pile up, as the following text reveals. Regardless of their different ages and gender, as well as their different disci-plinary and homeland backgrounds, all the appointed Willy Brandt Guest Pro-fessors have proved to be curious about Malmö and Sweden, open to holding and initiating discussions, willing to appear in public and, last but not least, hard working. Personal contact with them has confi rmed that scientifi c achie-vements are natural if academic work is not seen merely as a job but as a voca-tion. In that regard, the Willy Brandt Guest Professors have been an inspiration to many at IMER, especially those Professors who reached impressive levels in their careers before their mid-forties (like Brochmann, Cattacin, Faist, Martini-ello and Papastergiadis).
In the following text, the Guest Professors in memory of Willy Brandt at IMER are presented according to the chronological order of their stay in Mal-mö. Each presentation is followed by a detailed report on the Willy Brandt Guest Professors’ seminars, workshops, teaching and other activities included in the frame of their work in Malmö.
In the fi rst year the visiting scholars stayed at IMER for different periods of time; one semester was established as being a standard period from autumn 2001 onwards. Prof. Rainer Bauböck stayed at IMER in the period between 25th Sep-tember 2000 and 1st February 2001, and Prof. John Rex between 7th and 18th May 2001. Prof. Thomas Faist stayed at IMER from 2nd to 12th April 2001, but returned as Willy Brandt Guest Professor in the spring semester of 2002/2003.
RAINER BAUBÖCK
Political Scientist and Professor at the Austrian Academy of Sciences’ Research Unit for Institutional Change and European Integration. He teaches regularly at the Universities of Vienna and Innsbruck. His previous appointments have in-cluded Assistant Professor at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Vienna, Ful-bright Fellow and Member of the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, USA, and the Erwin Schrödinger Fellow at the Centre for Research in Ethnic Relations at the University of Warwick in the UK. Prof. Bauböck’s research on citizenship, European integration, migration, natio-nalism and minority rights has addressed issues that are central to IMER fi elds. Rainer Bauböck’s English language publications include:
• Transnational Citizenship. Membership and Rights in International
Migra-tion. Aldershot: Edward Elgar, 1994.
• From Aliens to Citizens. Redefi ning the Legal Status of Immigrants in
Euro-pe. Aldershot: Avebury (editor), 1994.
Immi-Prof. Bauböck has also been responsible for a number of research projects dea-ling with international migration processes, immigrants’ legal status and social authority encounters with immigrants. He is also active in several international research networks in connection with IMER issues. Other responsibilities in-clude chairmanship of the Austrian Federation of Political Scientists, editor of the Österreichische Zeitschrift für Politikwissenschaft and for Migration: A
European Journal on International Migration and Ethnic Relations, Berlin. In
addition he is also well-known for consultancy work at, for example, the Euro-pean Centre for Social Welfare.
Rainer Bauböck took up his duties as Willy Brandt Guest Professor on 25th
September 2000. One newspaper in particular, the 30th September issue or
Ar-betet, devoted six pages to the presentation of Malmö University’s fi rst Willy
Brandt Guest Professor. Prior to taking up his duties, Prof. Bauböck paid a short visit to Malmö in order to become better acquainted with the university and to discuss details of the professorship. This proved particularly valuable in that this was the fi rst Guest Professorship appointment of its kind and Prof. Bauböck had considerable experience of similar appointments.
Prof. Bauböck facilitated four research seminars (“Recombinant Citizenship”, “Voting Rights for Non-citizens”, “The Limits of Self-determination”, “Multina-tional Federalism: Territorial and Non-territorial”), delivered a lecture for the students (“Changing the Boundaries of Citizenship”) and a lecture (“Public Cul-ture in Societies of Immigration”) at the conference Globalisation in the Local
Community organised at IMER in November 2000 (see Appendix 4).
He also gave two public lectures, “International Migration and The Ethics of Immigration Control” (13th November 2000) and “International Migration and Liberal Democracies: The Challenge of Integration” (4th December 2000).
Prof. Bauböck was readily available to doctoral and other students. During his stay he acted as supervisor to IMER’s doctoral students and a number of IMER’s undergraduate students and was always prepared to contribute advice and to discussions, often at very short notice. It is clear from the undergraduate essay projects undertaken during and after Prof. Bauböck’s guest professorship that the students profi ted greatly from his supervision. The doctoral students also testify to the fact that their supervisory discussions with Prof. Bauböck were extremely enriching.
Rainer Bauböck’s stay at IMER came to an end in February 2001, although he did return on 24th April of that year to hold a further research seminar, this time devoted to “European Integration and the Politics of Identity”.
JOHN REX
Born in 1925 in South Africa, John Rex emigrated to Britain in 1949. He esta-blished the Department of Sociology at the University of Durham in 1964, and founded a similar department at the University of Warwick in 1970. At
War-wick he developed the Centre for Research in Ethnic Relations, which became his place of work for many years. Between the years 1984-1997, he was head of the Social Science Research Council’s Department of Ethnic Relations. He has also been a member of UNESCO’s International Experts Committee on Racism and Race Prejudice and President of the International Sociological Association’s Research Committee on Racial and Ethnic Minorities.
While the list of Prof. Rex’s collected works is much too long to be included here, it can be reported that some 20 books, 65 articles and 100 contributions to other publications have been penned.
Some of his most well-known publications include:
• Key Problems of Sociological Theory. London: Routledge and Kegan Paul,
1961.
• Race Relations in Sociological Theory. London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson,
1970.
• Race and Ethnicity. Milton Keynes: Open University Press, 1986.
• Ethnic Minorities in the Modern Nation State - Working Papers in the
Theo-ry of Multi-Culturalism and Political Integration in European Cities.
Ba-singstoke: MacMillan, 1996.
The publication written together with Montserrat Guibernau and entitled The
Ethnicity Reader: Migration, Nationalism and Multiculturalism (Cambridge:
Polity Press, 1997) is already considered a classic, and is included in the course literature of many universities throughout the world.
John Rex’s stay as Willy Brandt Guest Professor was during the period 7th –
18th May 2001. Like his predecessor, Prof. Rex gave two lectures and one
se-minar, which comprised: “The Development of Research on Ethnic Relations in Europe”, “Multicultural Institutions in an Egalitarian and Multicultural
So-ciety” (public lectures, 9th and 14th May 2001)and “Political Aspects of
Mul-ticulturalism and Research in the Multiethnic City” (research seminar). Prof. Rex generously shared his long experience within IMER and its consti-tuent research fi elds with colleagues and students alike and was amply refl ected in individual discussions, lectures, seminars and more informal encounters. In his experience of having founded the subject discipline of IMER, Prof. Rex had access to insights, historical perspectives and background knowledge that were of great interest for everyone connected with the subject areas. Researchers and university lecturers from other disciplines also attended Prof. Rex’s lectu-res and seminars as a lectu-result of their personal contacts with Prof. Rex.
Oxford (in 2001 still affi liated to the University of Wollongong, Australia). Ellie Vasta has published extensively in the area of inter-cultural relations. Her research has concentrated on Australian immigration policy, immigrant women and the second generation of immigrants, assessing the theories of identity, community, culture and difference, integration and racism, participa-tion and political mobilisaparticipa-tion in relaparticipa-tion to ethnicity and multiculturalism. Her research work has been based in Australia as well as in Italy, France, Germany and the UK. She has been a key researcher in a number of major projects:
• Intercultural relations, identity and citizenship (comparative research with
Germany, France and Australia (1998-99), funded by the Volkswagen Foun-dation;
• A large Australian Research Council project (1999-2000) on social
exclusi-on in New South Wales, Australia;
• Integration: Mapping the Field, UK Home Offi ce funded project in 2001.
In 1997, Ellie Vasta was awarded a prestigious French Government Visiting Fellowship at L’Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Science Sociales in Paris as guest of the Centre d’Analyse et d’Intervention Sociologique (CADIS).

Verto-vec. Home Offi ce Report, UK, 2001.
Prof. Ellie Vasta took part in IMER’s educational activities at all levels. In par-ticular she was willing to organise a reading course with the doctoral students at IMER. This was very much appreciated by the students, not only because they were presented with a list of titles relevant for their work, but also for the opportunity of being involved in illuminating discussions with Prof. Vasta. Five of the candidates were examined and passed the course with merit.
All the doctoral students had one or more offi cial meetings with Prof. Vasta, in order to discuss their theses.
Prof. Vasta also gave two seminars for postgraduate students and lecturers at IMER entitled “Social Exclusion and the Political Construction of Communi-ty” and “Australian Immigration - Segregation or Integration”.
One or two undergraduate students arranged weekly meetings with Prof. Vasta to discuss Australian immigration and multiculturalism.
For the undergraduates, she gave lectures entitled “Australian Immigration Policy – an overview” and “Australia’s Post-war Immigration: Institutional and Social Science Research”.
The public lecture that Prof. Vasta gave at IMER on 17th October 2001 was entitled “The Politics of Community”.
Regarding the contact with Malmö City representatives, Prof. Vasta was intro-duced to the Metropolitan Initiative as applied to the City of Malmö by MS BRITTA STRÖM, responsible for the integration programmes at Malmö City Offi ce. Aided by the director and personnel of Hyllie municipality Job and De-velopment Centre, Ms Ström also organised Prof. Vasta’s visit to the Centre’s representatives on 4th December 2001. She was also given a guided tour of Rosengård, where several IMER scholars conducted their research.
During her stay at IMER, Prof. Vasta programmed a couple of meetings ab-road in connection with three research projects that she was either engaged in or planning to undertake. She continued her writing on “Social Exclusion and the Political Construction of Community”. As the Willy Brandt Guest Profes-sor she participated in the conference “Network Revolution, Cultural Patterns and European Politics (Vadstena, 27th-31st August 2001) and the workshop “Critical Race Studies” (CMS, Lund, 15th December 2001).
She also met colleagues at Linköping University in connection with a colla-borative project on the informal economy and community in three EU countri-es: Sweden Italy and the UK. Dr Pieter Bevelander, a lecturer at IMER, was invited to join the project.
JOCK COLLINS
Economist at the School of Finance and Economics, University of Technology, Sydney.
Prior to joining the School of Finance and Economics at UTS in 1977, Jock Collins was a tutor in the Economics Department at Sydney University. He teaches economics and management, labour market economics, international economics and economics of leisure and tourism. His research areas include Australian immigration and the labour market, ethnic business and comparati-ve immigration studies.
Prof. Collins has been a consultant to the NSW Department of Treasury, the Federal Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs, the Offi ce of Multicultural Affairs, Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, the NSW Department of Education and Training and the NSW Ethnic Affairs Commis-sion. He has received external research grants from the Australian Research
lins is the author and co-author of several books. More than 40 of his articles have been published in international and national journals and related books, and he often comments on immigration matters in the Australian media. Prof. Collins’s most important publications include:
• Migrant Hands in a Distant Land: Australia’s Postwar Immigration.
Syd-ney: Pluto Press, 1988 (1991).
• A Shop Full of Dreams: Ethnic Small Business in Australia (K. Gibson, C.
Alcorso, S. Castles and D. Tait). Sydney: Pluto Press, 1995.
• Cosmopolitan Sydney: Exploring the World in One City (with Antonio
Cas-tillo). Sydney: Pluto Press, 1998.

Crime (with G. Nobel, S. Poynting and P. Tabar). Sydney: Pluto Press,
2000.
• The Other Sydney: Communities, Identities and Inequalities in Western
Syd-ney (edited with S. Poynting) Common Ground, Melbourne, 2000.
• Cosmopolitan Melbourne: Exploring the world in one city (with L. Mondello,
J. Breheney and T. Childs), Sydney: Big Box Publishing, 2001.
The Malmö University library has added these books to its collection, and are available not only for the students who attended Prof. Collins’s lectures, but also for new generations of students and general readership. The Guest Profes-sors’ publications will also contribute to the library’s profi le-in-the-make.
Professor Jock Collins delivered lectures to the undergraduate students entit-led “Australian Immigration and Multiculturalism: Key Issues and Current De-bates” and “Youth, Ethnicity and Crime in Australia”. The lectures were inclu-ded in the student schedule so that all the IMER undergraduate students could attend. Some of them were inspired enough to devote their examination essays to the questions discussed by Prof. Collins. Meetings were also organised with the Professor, who helped the students to focus on their chosen topics and fi nd the relevant literature.
Prof. Collins also presented three papers at the research seminars for PhD candidates and lecturers at IMER: “Ethnic Entrepreneurship in Australia”, “Youth, Ethnicity and Crime in Australia”, and “Immigration and Immigrant Settlement in Australia: Political Responses, Discourses and New Challenges”. He also presented a paper on “Cultural Diversity and The Sydney Olympic Games” to the Department of Sport and Recreation, at Malmö University’s Faculty of Education.
These seminars resulted in lively discussions with the graduate students and lecturers and expanded our insights regarding the practical connections bet-ween ethnicity, the labour market and crime. The lectures and research semi-nars included comparisons of Australian and Swedish history of immigration, the current political disputes provoked by immigration to Australia and
diffe-rent European countries, and how Sweden might learn from the Australian ex-perience. Throughout his fi ve month stay at Malmo University, Prof. Collins had a continuous dialogue with staff and research students on these and other matters related to immigration and ethnic diversity.
Prof. Collins’s broad knowledge of and intense engagement in the different immigrant-related policies in Australia proved to be of interest not only to sc-holars at IMER, but also for the policy-designers and practitioners dealing with the immigrants’ small enterprises and public discourses and prevention of cri-me in the City of Malmö. On 25th February 2002, a cri-meeting was organised with Ms BRITTA STRÖM, responsible for the programmes on integration at the Malmö City Offi ce, and her colleagues Ms MARIANA MAURITZON and Mr ALF MERLÖV, Head of the Department of Employment and Training. Mr JEAN-DANIEL MAURIN and Ms VISNJA OREL from the Trade and Indus-try Agency were also present at this meeting.
On 30th April 2002, Prof. Collins gave a public lecture on “Youth, Ethnicity and Crime in Sydney”. The lecture was announced in the newspaper “Syd-svenskan”, as well as through standard Malmö University information chan-nels on the Internet. Mariana Mauritzon (Brottsförebyggande frågor, Malmö
stad) facilitated the attendance of a number of people whose work is connected
to institutional dealings with crime prevention in Malmö. The lively discussion that followed the lecture proved that meetings of academics and practitioners are both meaningful and stimulating for all concerned.
While holding the Willy Brandt Guest Professorship, Jock Collins also pre-sented a number of other conference and seminar papers to universities in Swe-den, Belgium and the United States. These presentations included:
• “Ethnic entrepreneurs and the economic, spatial and social development of
Sydney”, Paper to the American Association of Geographers Conference, Los Angeles, USA, March 19th-22nd, 2002.
• “Cosmopolitan Capitalism: Ethnic Entrepreneurship in Australia”, Paper to
the National Institute for Working Life, Linköping University, Norrköping, Sweden, 24th April 2002.
• “Youth, Ethnicity and Crime in Multicultural Societies: the Case of
Austra-lia” Paper to the Le Recontres du CEDEM, Centre for Studies on Ethnicity
and Migration, Universite de Liege, Leige, Belgium, 25th April 2002.
• “Ethnicity, Gender, Class and Entrepreneurship: The Australian Experience”,
Paper to the Faculty of Education Staff Seminar, Umeå University, Sweden, 28th May 2002.
GRETE BROCHMANN
Sociologist and Research Director of the Oslo Institute of Social Research Grete Brochmann is an internationally recognised scholar who has also worked in Belgium and the USA. She is a member of a governmental law committee in Norway - commissioned to formulate a new foreign law, and a member of the social science committee of the Norwegian Research Council.
Focusing on migration-related topics, Prof. Grete Brochmann has mainly been dealing with the signifi cance of immigration politics in European countri-es and is currently writing about qucountri-estions of integration in the framcountri-es of the assessment of power in Norway, as well as on history of immigration to Nor-way.
Her most important authored and co-authored publications include: Middle
East Avenue: Female Migration from Sri Lanka to the Gulf, Mechanisms of Immigration Control, and International Migration, Immobility and Develop-ment: Multidisciplianry Perspectives.
During her stay at IMER, Prof. Grete Brochmann gave lectures for the under-graduate students, such as “Current Traps of European Immigration Policies”, “Kvinnelig migrasjon i et utviklingsperspektiv. Sri Lanka som case”, and “Ci-tizenship - sammfunsborgerskap som begrenset gode: Hva skal väre limet i fl erkulturelle stater?”.
Her research seminars for teachers and doctoral students at IMER included the following topics: “Historisk perspektiv på invandring till Norge”, “Den nye arbeidsinnvandringspolitikken” and “Nasjonale paradigmer i migrasjonsforsk-ningen?”
The topic for Prof. Brochmann’s public lecture was decided upon at the mee-ting with Ms BRITTA STRÖM, responsible for the integration programmes at Malmö City Offi ce. The public lecture entitled “Har staten makt til å integrere invandrere?” was held on November 11th 2000 at IMER’s premises and well-attended by the people working at different offi ces of the City of Malmö and invited by Ms Ström.
During her stay, Prof. Grete Brochmann also held a seminar, consisting of fi ve meetings, with the doctoral students present at IMER. All the students used the occasion of the seminar to present their dissertations in progress. At a concluding seminar with Prof. Grete Brochmann, the doctoral students expres-sed satisfaction with the feedback they had received from the Professor, as well as with the opportunity to discuss the links between theories and methods in a small group and directly related to their dissertations.
In her capacity as the Willy Brandt Guest Professor at IMER, Grete Broch-mann took part in two international conferences. She was the key note speaker at the IMER conference in Helsinki (October 2002), delivering the lecture “Welfare State, Integration and the Legitimacy of the Majority”. She was the invited speaker at the conference “National Paradigms of Migration Research”
in Osnabrück (December 2002), organised by the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung and the Institute for Migration Research and Intercultural Studies (IMIS) at the University of Osnabrück.
THOMAS FAIST
Political Scientist and Political Sociologist; at the time of holding the Willy Brandt Guest Professorship he was Professor at the University of Applied Sci-ences in Bremen (Hochschule Bremen), where he organised the programme “International Studies in Political Management” – the fi rst of its kind in Ger-many.
Thomas Faist’s main research interests lie in the fi eld of international migra-tion and immigrant integramigra-tion, as well as in social policy and comparative politics. He is a member of the editorial board of international journals such as
Ethnic & Racial Studies and The Sociological Quarterly. He has served as an
advisor to the German government on migration and integration issues. His current research focuses on political debates and practical policies con-nected with dual citizenship.

April 2001 and completed his stay at IMER on 12th April 2001. During this short
of Poles in Germany”, 4 April 2001), and held supervisory discussions with IMER’s doctoral students and various student project groups. Like his predeces-sor, Prof. Bauböck, Prof. Faist conveyed the Willy Brandt Professorship as one of openness, availability and having an international perspective.
During his second six-month long stay at IMER in the spring semester of 2002/2003, Prof. Faist gave lectures for the undergraduate students: “The Ma-king of Immigration Policy. Lessons from Germany” and “Transnational So-cial Spaces: A Conceptual Overview”.
His research seminars for teachers and doctoral students at IMER included the following themes: “Transnational Social Spaces and Democratic Legitima-cy - a project platform”, “Dual Citizenship in a Globalising World -Germany in comparative perspective”, and “Transnational Politics”.
Prof. Faist’s public lecture, given on May 15th 2003, was entitled “September 11 and the Consequences for Migration”.
On June 10th-11th 2003, Prof. Thomas Faist participated in the international workshop “Transnational Spaces: Disciplinary Perspectives” organised at IMER. On this occasion he presented a paper and acted as one of the main dis-cussants of the papers presented by participants from Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Finland. The text of the workshop booklet can be found in Appen-dix 5, together with the programme and biographical and bibliographical infor-mation on the participants.

An interview with Prof. Cattacin by Lotta Solding was published on http://www.mah.se/templates/Page____24736.aspx (IMER’s web page) as well as http://www.mah.se/templates/ExternalNews____24957.aspx (Nyhetsbrevet).
Prof. Cattacin gave three research seminars for the doctoral students and the members of the staff at IMER, on ”Misanthropy, Xenophobia and Right-wing Extremist Attitudes”, ”Migrant Associations” and ”Migration and Health”.
He also gave lectures for the undergraduate students of IMER on ”Urban Citizenship”, ”Migration, Urbanity and Social Policies”, and ”Urban Dyna-mics and Migration: Exclusion, Inclusion and Innovation” (with Adrian Favel, Dept of Sociology, UCLA, and Philip Muus, IMER).
Prof. Cattacin’s Willy Brandt Public Lecture, given at Fridhemsborg on No-vember 25th 2005, was entitled ”Migration and Differentiated Citizenship: On the (Post-) Americanization of Europe”.
His lecture focused on recent changes in the national migration policies of several European countries. General trends have been discerned, showing that European policies in the fi eld of migration are becoming increasingly similar to those of the USA, although the European way of adopting liberal policies is biased by the institutional tradition of the welfare state.
A public seminar that Prof. Cattacin gave together with Philip Muus from IMER gained considerable media attention and attracted a large audience – particularly as it was devoted to the riots in France. It was held at IMER on November 9th under the title ”Riots in France: Wrong Neighbourhoods or Wrong People?”.
For more information, see “Upploppen i Frankrike diskuterades på IMER” (http://www.mah.se/templates/NewsPage____26196.aspx - Malmö University’s
Nyhetsbrevet vecka 45).

“Subsidiarity in social policies” at the annual congress of Italian
Observa-tory of the Family in Bologna (October 6th 2005).
During his stay at IMER, Prof. Cattacin reacted to current events in Europe by publishing a number of newspaper articles, in Le Temps (Eclairages) of September 8th 2005 (“De droite comme de gauche, le populisme est une éter-nelle lutte contre les étrangers”), il caffè of October 9th (“L’apprendimento collettivo della xenophobia”), il caffè of October 24th (“Epidemie. La forza destabilizzante della società dei rischi”), il caffè of November 13th with S. Baglioni (“Periferia. Il ‘non-luogo’ dove l’egoismo diventa fertile), Le Temps of November 16th with S. Baglioni (“Ce qui se passe dans les banlieues de France a très peu à voir avec l’immigration”), il caffè of November 20th (“Una ‘religione’ tra modernità e post-nazionalismo”).
Three workshops on Migration and Health were organised under the auspi-ces of the Willy Brandt Guest Professorship’s Chair, by Prof. Sandro Cattacin and Carin Björngren Cuadra, PhD, affi liated to both IMER and the School of Health and Society.
The workshops dealt with Barriers to Health Care Access (held on October 21st 2005), Migrant-Friendly Hospitals (held December 1st 2005), and with
Health Strategies of Marginalized Groups: Migrant Prostitutes, Illegal Wor-kers and Asylum SeeWor-kers (held on December 9th 2005).
They involved participants from IMER and The School of Health and So-ciety at Malmö University, as well as participants from Lund University, the National Institute of Working Life, International Church, and Skåne Region Public Projects. A foreign participant – Prof. Cattacin’s colleague – presented her research at each event.
A detailed presentation of the workshops is available in Appendix 7.

Two kinds of publications are presented in this part of the report, both of which are published by IMER, Malmö University in the frames of the Willy Brandt Guest Professorship. These are the Willy Brandt Series of Working Papers in
International Migration and Ethnic Relations, and the books published or to be
published in the series of Willy Brandt Conference Proceedings.
WILLY BRANDT SERIES OF WORKING PAPERS
IN INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION AND ETHNIC
RELATIONS
The Willy Brandt Series of Working Papers in International Migration and
Ethnic Relations is a forum for research in, and debate about, issues of
migra-tion, ethnicity and related topics. This Series makes available original manu-scripts by the Willy Brandt Guest Professors at IMER.
The Series has been established in order to contribute to the wider and more permanent infl uence of the presence of Willy Brandt Guest Professors in mig-ration-related research work in Sweden. As the Professorship holders are all internationally recognised scholars, the inclusion of such working papers in their bibliographies is an effi cient way of promoting IMER and Malmö Univer-sity internationally.
The Working Papers Series, which bears the international standard series number ISSN 1650-5743, is edited by Maja Povrzanović Frykman. Björn Fryklund, Professor at IMER, is Editor–in-Chief.
The Series is available as printed copies as well as online, at the address http://www.bit.mah.se/MUEP, or directly at http://dspace.mah.se:8080/han-dle/2043/679/browse-title.
“IMER”, then “Forskning på IMER”) as well as through the VEGA system of Malmö University library.
All the papers are in pfd-format and can be downloaded free of charge. This ensures the spreading of particular research insights and also refl ects the public nature of the Willy Brandt Guest Professorship.

PUBLIC CULTURE IN SOCIETIES OF IMMIGRATION
Political liberalism defends the rights of individuals and minorities against the danger of ma-jority tyranny, but democratic institutions and decisions can only be sustained if they enjoy broad popular support. The specifi c problem of securing rights for cultural minorities is that majorities have no self-interested reason in tying their hands in this way because they know that they will never themselves be in the position of the minority. For this reason, describing the rights of immigrants as a constraint on the interests of democratic majorities may be cor-rect for the purposes of moral theory but offers little guidance for how to win majority support for this task. The idea that the changing public culture of a society of immigration is the result of self-transformation offers a more attractive interpretation. It rejects the construction of na-tive majorities and immigrant minorities as permanently separate groups. Instead it promotes the image of a heterogeneous public with a shared interest both in representing and in integra-ting its diverse groups.
2/01 REINER BAUBÖCK. 2001.
MULTINATIONAL FEDERALISM: TERRITORIAL OR CULTURAL AUTONOMY? Cultural autonomy is compatible with liberal democracy if it is conceived as an extended power of voluntary associations to govern their internal affairs. The real trouble starts when cultural autonomy includes the devolution of tasks and powers that in a liberal democracy properly belong to territorial governments representing citizens rather than members of iden-tity groups. However, there are contextual justifi cations for such kinds of non-territorial fede-ralism; in deeply divided societies a democratic polity can sometimes only be built by starting out from a contractual relation that integrates the most alienated or oppressed groups by gran-ting them far-reaching autonomy. Yet, such arrangements should be regarded as exceptions rather than models and as transitory rather than permanent.
3/01 THOMAS FAIST. 2001.
DUAL CITIZENSHIP AS OVERLAPPING MEMBERSHIP
Dual citizenship has increased dramatically in recent decades. More and more states are tole-rating or even accepting dual membership for various reasons. This is a puzzling trend be-cause citizenship and political loyalty to sovereign states were though to be indivisible until very recently. The new developments cast doubt on the assumption that overlapping member-ship violates the principle of popular sovereignty and that multiple ties and loyalties of citi-zens in border-crossing social spaces and world society contradict state sovereignty. The argu-ment put forward is that dual citizenship is neither an evil not an intrinsic value for political communities. Dual citizenship is tied to genuine links of citizens across various sovereign political communities. Three perspectives shed light on dual citizenship: national, postnatio-nal and transstate approaches. Apostnatio-nalytically, a transstate perspective can best describe relati-vely dense and continuous border-crossing ties as the overlapping membership of citizens across several political communities. In contrast to national concepts, a transstate view grasps the integrative potentials of reciprocity and solidarity in border-crossing spaces for bounded political communities. Also, a transstate perspective does not make unwarranted assumptions about a quantum leap in collective affi liation from the ‘nation’ to ‘Europe’ or even ‘humanity’, as assumed by views such as postnational membership, suprastate citizenship and global de-mocracy.
