Description
Summary:How does German law regulate migration and what influence does this have on the everyday lives of refugees? Anne-Marlen Engler explores this question in this book. She takes up the current discourse on law and migration and examines how experiences from legal reality can be depicted through legal sociology and theory. On a theoretical level, the book examines the relationship between law and facticity from a sociology of law perspective. At the same time, it presents the author's empirical research in two German refugee shelters. The book is thus highly topical: it counters entrenched discourses in academia and everyday politics about the law, refugees and refugee accommodation with empirically informed knowledge about the complex legal reality in the German constitutional state, without providing simple answers. Anne-Marlen Engler was awarded the Konrad Redeker Prize for the dissertation on which this book is based.
