Abstract

This paper deals with the participatory practices developed by the "civil society organizations" within the emerging political field of immigrants' integration at EU level. By analysing three specific devices, I will detect the existence of certain hegemonic patterns of agency which conceive participation as a "limited" and "channelled" process, as well as subordinated to the need for efficacy of policies. In turn, the aforementioned practices shape a mechanism of production of knowledge where the latter is increasingly presented as "technified" and "depoliticised".
