    Background:

    • Contemporary migration presents complex challenges.
    • The role of scientific expertise in policy-making is debated.
    • Ulrich Beck's theories offer a framework for understanding modern risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To apply Ulrich Beck's risk theories to German migration politics.
    • To analyze the declining influence of social scientists in migration policy.
    • To conceptualize migration as a Beckian risk phenomenon.

    Main Results:

    • German migration is framed as a Beckian risk phenomenon.
    • This framing explains the diminished influence of social scientists.
    • The relevance of scientific expertise in postmodern risk contexts is questioned.

    Conclusions:

    • Migration dynamics in Germany align with Beck's risk society model.
    • The perceived uncontrollability of migration risks reduces reliance on expert knowledge.
    • Further research should explore the implications for evidence-based policy.
