This diptych is the result of the first subproject of the study 'Steering with Space' on regional steering networks in education.
In the first subproject of this study, we investigated what is meant by "the region", how the region can be
conceptually, what "the region" means as an administrative scale level and how the government can use it to
can steer with it. For this purpose, we did two things: firstly, we conducted a systematic international literature study and
Firstly, we conducted a systematic international literature study and secondly, we analysed the government's policy discourse on the region.
Secondly, we analysed the government's policy discourse on 'the region in Dutch education'. In both the literature study and the policy analysis, we proceeded openly and inductively by examining the
sources - scientific (research) literature and policy documents, respectively - by allowing them to "speak for themselves" as much as possible.
We did this by systematically searching for and selecting the sources, mapping their contents, ordering them, and then arriving at findings. - Dit tweeluik is de uitkomst van het eerste deelproject van de studie 'Sturen met Ruimte'
naar regionale sturingsnetwerken in het onderwijs. In het eerste deelproject van deze studie
zijn we nagegaan wat zoal wordt verstaan onder 'de regio', hoe de regio conceptueel kan
worden afgebakend, wat 'de regio' betekent als bestuurlijk schaalniveau en hoe de overheid
ermee kan sturen. Hiervoor hebben we twee dingen gedaan: ten eerste het uitvoeren van
een systematische internationale literatuurstudie en ten tweede het analyseren van het
beleidsdiscours van de overheid over 'de regio in het Nederlandse onderwijs'. Bij zowel de
literatuurstudie als de beleidsanalyse zijn we open en inductief te werk gegaan door de
bronnen – respectievelijk wetenschappelijke (onderzoeks-)literatuur en beleidsdocumenten
– zoveel mogelijk zelf te laten 'spreken'. We deden dat door op een systematische manier
de bronnen te zoeken en te selecteren, de inhoud ervan in kaart te brengen, die te ordenen
om vervolgens tot bevindingen te komen.

International regimes govern how officials address specific issue areas in global politics. There is a deep and unresolved debate as to whether we can speak of an international migration regime. This article seeks to develop the theoretical language to resolve this debate. We introduce the concept of a 'distributive regime': a structure that coordinates movement and settlement control practices in ways that engender ideal distributions of populations across space. The paper demonstrates the discriminatory power of this concept by using it to shed light on analogous forms of movement and settlement control in the study of slavery and incarceration. We then suggest that we could resolve the extant debate about the status of the international migration regime by further exploring the hypothesis that contemporary migration control practices are coordinated in ways that achieve a distributive effect.
