    Abstract
    Based on a case study on the former Austrian Federal Asylum Agency, the book provides sociological insights on state action in the administration of asylum in a European context. It offers a novel perspective on public administration by complementing the approaches of street-level bureaucracy and organizational sociology with theories of social practice and structuration. The study deals with the working conditions and the working environment as well as with the analysis of the structural differences that characterize the daily work of the decision-makers; the book concludes with a plea for more attention on the topic of ethics in administration, especially in the context of international protection.
     
    Anhand einer Fallstudie über das ehemalige österreichische Bundesasylamt liefert das Buch soziologische Einsichten zu staatlichem Handeln in der Verwaltung von Asyl im europäischen Kontext. Es bietet eine neuartige Perspektive auf öffentlichen Verwaltung, indem Zugänge der street-level bureaucracy und Organisationssoziologie durch Theorien der sozialen Praxis und der Strukturation ergänzt werden. Die Studie befasst sich sowohl mit den Arbeitsbedingungen und dem Arbeitsumfeld als auch mit der Analyse der strukturellen Gegensätze, die den Arbeitsalltag der EntscheiderInnen charakterisieren; das Buch schließt mit einem Plädoyer für mehr Aufmerksamkeit für das Thema Ethik in der Verwaltung, insbesondere im Kontext des internationalen Schutzes.
