AbstractThe aim of this ongoing research project on Chicago and Vienna is to examine the impact of migration in a comparative perspective, asking questions such as: How did mass migration change the local political regimes and their administrative capacity? How did the degree of democratization and the processes of naturalization and local party traditions influence a political and social inclusion or exclusion of migrants? What role did corruption, patronage, and a local politics of image play in the real as well as the symbolic integration of migrants? And how did symbolic attempts to unify a fragmented city correlate with the local politics of inclusion or exclusion?
