Abstract

We reconstruct two attempts to create more accessible labour market integration for refugees in Berlin using a process-oriented framework to analyse the (often conflictual) inter-organisational dynamics. We point out, that these dynamics are frequently a major source of problems in the labour market integration of refugees. To analyse why this is the case, we introduce the concept of issue-based organisational fields, seeing them as zones in which the actual meaning of labour market integration is constructed. The field is an arena where the translation of accessibility into practices takes place. Here, the question of the "correct" meaning of accessibility is becoming an object of struggles as well as of the interplay between a variety of organisations. These pluralised attempts to translate accessibility into practices create problems for the refugees in practice. Finally, we call for situating these dynamics in the context of reflexive modernity.
