Forging urban diversity regimes: A combined approach to immigrant policymaking and governance in Mannheim
研究了曼海姆市如何通过政府与公民社会的长期合作，将“多样性”作为政策理念融入移民政策制定，提出了“城市多样性体制”这一概念，对城市治理和移民研究有参考价值。
Abstract As migration continues to shape urban societies, how cities deal with migration‐based heterogeneity has become a salient issue. Much literature addressing immigrant policymaking has focused on current policy ideas and the different actors they involve; literature on urban governance has highlighted the role of collaboration between state and civil society actors. To date, however, limited research has taken a combined approach to see how municipalities forge collaboration with civil society in pursuit of (novel) policy ideas. The article draws on and combines immigrant policymaking, urban governance and urban regime literatures. It presents Mannheim as a heuristic case which shows how the city's immigrant policymaking reflects a combination of a shift towards 'diversity' as policy idea and discourse and long‐term collaboration in policymaking. Positing the emergence of an “urban diversity regime” in Mannheim, the article reflects on the opportunities this heuristic notion presents for existing literature and for future research.
