本特刊介绍了关于地方政府在更广泛的多级治理（MLG）网络背景下的作用的新兴文献（Bache和Flinders，2004; Hooghe和Marks，2001; Peters和Pierre，2001; Piattoni，2010;斯蒂芬森，2013）。尽管MLG经常被应用于欧盟（EU）民族国家关系或联邦国家，但我们认为，MLG也可以作为地方，地区，国家和欧盟政府之间关系的分析框架。此外，目前大部分MLG文献都在考虑具体的政策领域，如环境、气候变化、社会凝聚力和高等教育。相反，我们将专注于一个政策主题，目前正在挑战MLG在欧洲以深刻的方式：移民政策。特别是，我们认为MLG和地方治理在移民政策领域的日益重要性之间的联系。虽然最近的研究往往以国家的融合模式为框架，但它们直接关注地方-主要是城市一级，这在移民融合领域日益突出和具有创业精神。在这方面，我们将谈到一个“本地转向”，我们将试图从MLG的角度来理解。这期特刊认为，尽管人们对移民融合的地方治理越来越感兴趣，但关于这一转变对移民融合的MLG的影响的工作却很少（例如，见开创性的
This Special Issue speaks to the emergent literature on the role of local governments in the context of broader multi-level governance (MLG) networks (Bache and Flinders, 2004; Hooghe and Marks, 2001; Peters and Pierre, 2001; Piattoni, 2010; Stephenson, 2013). Although often applied to European Union (EU) national-state relations or to federal states, we believe that MLG can also be used as a framework of analysis for relations between local, regional, national and EU governments in a broader sense. Furthermore, much of the MLG literature is currently considering specific policy areas, such as environment, climate change, social cohesion and higher education. Instead, we will focus on a policy topic that is currently challenging MLG in Europe in a profound way: immigrant policies. In particular, we consider the linkages between MLG and the growing importance of local governance in the area of immigrant policies. Although often strongly framed in the context of national models of integration, recent studies direct attention to the local – mainly city – level, which has become increasingly prominent and entrepreneurial in the field of migrant integration. In this respect, we will speak of a ‘local turn’ that we will attempt to make sense of from an MLG perspective. This Special Issue argues that although there is a growing interest in the local governance of migrant integration, very little work has been done on the implications of this turn for the MLG of migrant integration (see, for instance, the seminal
