Biography
Tobias G. Eule is Lecturer at the Institute for Sociology, University of Bern, Switzerland.
’In this scrupulously researched study of the decision-making practices of street-level bureaucrats, Eule shows us immigration law as experienced by migrants themselves. Operating in contexts marked by legal complexity, Inside Immigration Law offers a compelling account of the implementation of residence law as shaped as much by collective oral tradition as by law itself. This book should be required reading for anyone interested in immigration, law, and bureaucracy.’ Antje Ellermann, University of British Columbia, Canada ’This innovative ethnography of the German immigration bureaucracy gives unique insight into the chaotic but most often adequate workings of street-level "law in action". Beautifully written and trenchantly argued, this work by a rising star is a milestone for a legal sociology of immigration.’ Christian Joppke, University of Bern, Switzerland
