Logistical Borderscapes: Politics and Mediation of Mobile Labor in Germany After the \u2018Summer of Migration\u2019

This article investigates the governmental measures and policies adopted by Germany in the wake of the \u201clong summer of migration\u201d of 2015 to put refugees to work. Starting with a discussion of the autonomy of migration approach against the background of the multiple transformations and crises of the European border regime, the authors focus on shifting paradigms in the management of labor mobility. A short review of the emerging field of \u201ccritical logistics studies\u201d allows them to single out a process of \u201clogistification\u201d of migration regimes, according to a \u201cdelivery\u201d rationality instantiated by the policy goal of a \u201cjust-in-time and to-the-point\u201d migration. This hypothesis is tested with respect to Germany on the basis of research conducted by the authors in Berlin, particularly focusing on the roles played by a complex system and infrastructure of intermediation to manage the "integration" of refugees into the labor market
