The research project focuses on the local dealings and interactions with refugees in larger cities. It investigates the interrelationships between three aspects: the role of the local police as local representatives of the state monopoly on the use of force ("police"), the relevance of urban strategies in dealing with refugee issues ("politics") and the importance of urban social actors, networks and discourses ("polis"). The focus is on the extent to which the police are involved in local practices and how their actions are shaped by the local context. In this way, the research project picks up on tendencies towards a local turn in migration policy research. If it can be shown that even police action as strictly law-bound, in direct state responsibility and embodying the state monopoly on the use of force is subject to such a shaping by the urban context, then this is a strong argument to pursue the local turn of migration policy research further. Conceptually, the project assumes, first, that cities, through their historically developed practices, self-understandings and discourses, suggest particular ways of practice to actors. They offer spaces for cooperation and conflict articulation, for focusing and interpreting needs and problems, and for constructing commonalities and differences. In addition to official urban politics, actors of local civil society are of particular relevance. Second, because of their specific logic of social integration, cities are also designed to link open borders and practices of dealing with heterogeneity. They differ from states in this respect, but are in complementary relationships to them. Third, we assume that the mediation logic underlying police action in urban space is essentially shaped by a normative field of tension between the poles of "security" and "human dignity". How security can be guaranteed in harmony with human dignity is thus negotiated and concretized in urban space. The planned project comprises three modules, which will be defined as "Mapping", "Embedding" and "Understanding" and will be processed using qualitative-interpretative methods of data collection and interpretation. In six cities in the federal states of Baden-Württemberg, Hesse and Lower Saxony, police perceptions of the challenges and possibilities for action as well as the security strategies pursued are to be analysed. In a second step, these police perspectives and orientations for action will be embedded in the local contexts by asking to what extent they are related to institutionalised practices, public patterns of interpretation and networks of actors on the ground. The third module will then investigate the extent to which specific urban-police ways of dealing with refugees can be spoken of and where their fault lines and potentials can lie.

该研究项目的重点是在较大的城市与难民的当地交易和互动。它调查了三个方面之间的相互关系：地方警察作为国家垄断使用武力的地方代表的作用（“警察”），城市战略在处理难民问题方面的相关性（“政治”），以及城市社会行为者、网络和话语的重要性（“城邦”）。重点是警察在多大程度上参与当地做法，以及他们的行动如何受当地情况的影响。通过这种方式，研究项目注意到移徙政策研究转向地方的趋势。如果可以证明，即使是严格受法律约束的警察行动，在直接的国家责任和体现国家垄断使用武力是受城市环境的这种塑造，那么这是一个强有力的论据，以追求移民政策研究的地方转向进一步。在概念上，该项目假设，首先，城市，通过其历史上发展的做法，自我理解和话语，建议特定的实践方式的行为者。它们为合作和冲突表达、为集中和解释需求和问题以及为构建共同点和差异提供了空间。除了官方的城市政治之外，地方民间社会的行为者也具有特别的相关性。第二，由于其社会融合的特定逻辑，城市也被设计为将开放的边界和处理异质性的做法联系起来。它们在这方面不同于国家，但与国家处于互补关系。第三，我们假设，调解逻辑的警察行动在城市空间基本上是由“安全”和“人的尊严”的两极之间的规范领域的紧张局势。因此，如何在与人的尊严和谐的情况下保障安全，在城市空间中得到了协商和具体化。 计划中的项目包括三个单元，分别为“制图”、“嵌入”和“理解”，并将使用数据收集和解释的定性-解释方法进行处理。在巴登-符滕贝格、黑森和下萨克森萨克森等联邦州的六个城市，将分析警察对挑战和行动可能性的看法以及所采取的安全战略。第二步，这些警察的观点和行动方向将嵌入当地环境，询问它们在多大程度上与制度化做法、公共解释模式和实地行为者网络有关。第三个单元将调查城市警察处理难民问题的具体方式，以及这些方式的缺陷和潜力所在。
