Abstract
This chapter develops the comparative dimension of the research by looking at how the dynamics observed in the persistence of the Roma camps work in two other cases of temporary yet enduring camps in France: the former migrant transit estates and the current Roma integration villages. It aims to show the relationship between regimes of civil society participation in formal governance and of institutional ambiguity with camp persistence. After summarising the findings that emerged from the analysis of the Roma camps, the chapter presents an analysis of the integration villages and transit estates. The comparison shows that, in both cases, the relatively weaker incorporation of associations in camp governance and the lower ambiguity of the legal framework reduced the polarisation between service providers and advocacy groups, on the one hand, and reinforced the claims of associations challenging governmental policies, on the other. Thus, pro-Roma groups have managed to negotiate the extension of some villages, and pro-migrant associations succeeded in obtaining the closure of the transit estates.
