Projects
The Diversification of Postwar Migration
(with Alan Gamlen and Norbert Winnige)
This project aims to consolidate the leading sources of large-scale quantitative data on international migration flows in the postwar period, with a view to examining the diversification of cross border population movements, particularly in the last three decades. Our immediate objective is to locate, evaluate and compile data that can reveal more about the shift from international migration patterns involving many migrants moving from and to relatively few locations, to patterns characterized by relatively few migrants are moving from and to many places. The wider goal of the project is to begin weaving together the fragmented patchwork of existing but disconnected international migration data, collected by a range of international, national and sub-national institutions. In pursuit of these aims, the project will develop relationships with the major institutions that hold a stake in large-scale international migration data.
Diversity and Contact (‘DivCon’)
(with Karen Schönwälder,
Sören Petermann,
Miles Hewstone (University of Oxford),
Katharina Schmid (University of Oxford))
At present, much public and academic discourse suggests that high levels of socio-cultural diversity threaten the presumed ‘cohesion’ of societies. However, much less attention is given to examining how different kinds of diversity are actually perceived and encountered in daily life, and what the social, social psychological and political effects of such encounters might be. While broad reports such as the Eurobarometer regularly report high levels of daily contact among people of different ethnic and religious backgrounds throughout Europe, the nature and implications of such contacts remain seriously understudied.
At the centre of this project, MPI-MMG will conduct a major longitudinal (three-wave) survey in cities and neighbourhoods of various sizes and degrees of ethnic/religious diversity across Germany. Data will be compiled concerning, among other things: perceptions of local diversity (including its nature, extent, and relation to experiences of conviviality or conflict), the nature of interpersonal, cross-group contacts (especially frequency, fleeting or sustained nature, and content), impacts of contact on attitudes (toward directly experienced out-groups, toward non-encountered out-groups, and toward the condition of diversity writ large) and implications for social and political participation (in informal local activities, organizational practices and formal political processes). The survey will be supplemented by targeted ethnographies, in-depth interviews and local workshops.
Ethno-religious Diversity and Social Trust
(with Miles Hewstone, Anthony Heath, Ceri Peach and Sarah Spencer, all University of Oxford)
Funded by the Leverhulme Trust and undertaken in conjunction, this project critically evaluates and provides European comparison to Robert Putnam’s recent American findings that areas with high ethnic diversity seem to manifest low levels of social trust. The project’s objects are (1) to investigate the degree of trust that obtains in residential and educational areas of different ethnic mix, and how this is related to various types of intergroup contact; (2) to develop causal models of the associations between key, theoretically-identified variables; (3) to study the longitudinal impact of contact on outcomes in educational settings, and to plan and evaluate interventions to improve its effectiveness; and (4) to examine ways in which trust and cohesion may be fostered and implemented in neighbourhood and schools policy. Although based in the UK, the intention is to broaden the methodological design to undertake comparative research in other European contexts.
Multiculturalism
(with Gerd Baumann, University of Amsterdam)
In recent years, multiculturalism has turned from a broadly shared ideal, implemented in a braod array of policies, into a controversial topic of derision and public debate. A collection of four edited volumes are being produced for Routledge Publisher’s Major Works series. The first volume in the series is entitled Conceiving Multiculturalisms, tracing the seemingly new concept of multiculturalism to long-standing arguments on tribal co-existence, human rights and civil rights to the rights to recognition; Volume II, Multiculturalism and the Nation-State, assembles key research concerning the tensions between national, ethnic and religious identity politics; the third Volume, Multiculturalism and the Public Sphere, examines the difficult choices to be made between ideas of social integration and contending ideas of community rights, not least in schools and in the market place; and Volume IV After Multiculturalism? juxtaposes the major works dealing with the most urgent crises in multiculturalism, such as anti-multiculturalism and the revival of nationalism in the face of the new realities of transnationalism.
Super-diversity
‘Super-diversity’ is- a term intended to underline a level and kind of complexity surpassing anything previously experienced in a particular society (see Vertovec, S. [2007] ‘Super-diversity and its implications’, Ethnic and Racial Studies 29(6): 1024-54). Over the past twenty years globally more people have moved from more places to more places; wholly new and increasingly complex social formations have ensued, marked by dynamic interplays of variables, including: country of origin (comprising a variety of possible subset traits such as ethnicity, language[s], religious tradition, regional and local identities, cultural values and practices), migration channel (often related to highly gendered flows, specific social networks and particular labour market niches), and legal status (including myriad categories determining a hierarchy of entitlements and restrictions). These variables co-condition integration outcomes along with factors surrounding migrants’ human capital (particularly educational background), access to employment (which may or may not be in immigrants’ hands), locality (related especially to material conditions, but also to other immigrant and ethnic minority presence), and the usually chequered responses by local authorities, services providers and local residents (which often tend to function by way of assumptions based on previous experiences with migrants and ethnic minorities). This comparative project examines changing migration flows and patterns of diversity in a variety of settings around the world.
Super-diversity, South Africa
(with Robin Cohen and various colleagues at the Universities of Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Johannesburg, and Witwatersrand)
In order to extend the international reach and comparative implications of the core idea of ‘Super-diversity’ developed in the Department of Socio-Cultural Diversity, MPI-MMG, a multi-project programme is being developed in South Africa. The notion of ‘super-diversity’ works well in the context of contemporary South Africa, where multiple, longstanding modes of ethnic and religious diversity are subjected to new and varied migration flows. As in other global conditions of super-diversity, new migration patterns encompass varieties in countries of origin, ethnicity, language, gendered channels of mobility, education, occupation, and location. A list of possible aspects or outcomes of super-diversity in South African includes:
- New patterns of inequality and prejudice manifested in the xenophobic bloodletting of May 2007;
- New patterns of segregation including, despite the collapse of the apartheid system, gated communities of the wealthy at one extreme and new slums for migrants at the other;
- New experiences of space and contact evident as formerly-white public spaces have become shared, and new patterns of exclusion have developed particularly in response to crime and the fear of crime;
- New forms of creolization and cosmopolitanism witnessed in burgeoning and hopeful development of cross-ethnic artistic expressions, political cooperation, religious worship and shared lifestyles; and
- New bridgeheads of migration indicating that, while most of South Africa’s migration remains regional (southern Africa), there is also significant migration from all over the continent and beyond.
The research programme entails commissioned reviews, reports, new data collection and a large-scale survey.

Backlash against Multiculturalism?
(with Susanne Wessendorf, Max-Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity)
Regardless of its purported meanings and diverse policy manifestations, in recent years across Europe ‘Multiculturalism’ has taken a beating. For example: in the UK publisher David Goodhart suggested that an over-emphasis on diversity has been responsible for a breakdown in social and political solidarity; in the Netherlands journalist Paul Scheffer (with an argument that underpinned the rise of Pim Fortuyn) famously criticized ‘the multicultural drama’ behind a breakdown in immigrant integration; right-wing Belgian politicians like Filip Dewinter describe multiculturalism as ‘an illusion’; and in Germany Chancellor Angela Merkel pronounced that ‘the idea multicultural society cannot succeed’ while the weekly news magazine Focus ran a cover story purported exposing ‘The Multicultural Lie’. In a relatively short time, many governments have been purposefully dropping ‘multicultural’ from their policy vocabularies. Is there indeed a common ‘sceptical turn’ against cultural diversity or a ‘backlash against difference’ sweeping Europe? If so, what has brought about such seemingly parallel public sentiments in considerably different societies and political contexts? If not, why has media coverage portrayed events and developments in this way? What effects have changing public discourses had upon actual national and local policies concerning the management of diversity and immigrant integration? Are the discourses and policy shifts actually reflected in everyday practices within culturally, linguistically and religiously diverse settings? In this edited volume to be published by Routledge in 2009, experts from numerous countries assess these questions with reference to recent and current trends concerning multiculturalism, cultural diversity and integration in their respective countries.

Diversity and Integration in Frankfurt
(with Regina Römhild (Ludwig-Maximilian-Universität München), Amt für multikulturelle Angelegenheiten (Frankfurt))
Based on recent approaches in international urban and migration research (especially surrounding “super-diversity” and “transnationalism”) as well as on the basis of specific local circumstances, the project entails a consultancy for the City of Frankfurt. Its goal is to develop a new concept with which to frame and articulate general perspectives and practical guidelines for a future urban integration policy reaching across government departments in the city.

Migration
With migration among the key issues at the top of public and academic agendas worldwide, this project has been commissioned by Routledge Publisher’s Major Works series to provide a core set of studies exploring migration’s many dimensions. The four edited volumes are thematically organized around 1. general theories of migration, 2. migration patterns and trends, 3. political debates and policy challenges, and 4. social processes and impacts surrounding migration. Each volume itself is arranged by way of core topics that have engaged scholars historically (with works dating from the mid-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries) and in recent years (including some of the most prominent debates and theoretical developments). Contributions include studies drawn from Economics, Sociology, Anthropology, Geography and Political Science.

Transnationalism
Transnationalism refers to multiple ties and interactions linking people or institutions across the borders of nation-states. This single-authored book project surveys the broader meanings of transnationalism within the study of globalization before concentrating on migrant transnational practices. Each chapter demonstrates ways in which new and contemporary transnational practices of migrants are fundamentally transforming social, political and economic structures simultaneously within homelands and places of settlement. The book was published in the ‘Key Ideas’ series by Routledge (New York and London) in 2009. Steven Vertovec: Transnationalism, Routledge 2009
