word throughout the collection, is interpreted from a dynamic and two- way rather than a static and one-way perspective. On one hand, having  observed ‘(…), there are no irregular (or illegal) migrants, but only indi- viduals who have—in a specific space and for a specific time—an irregular  (or illegal) status’ (p.216), editors advocate treating irregularity as a set of  statuses that vary depending on contexts rather than an clear-cut condi- tion. In this sense, defining an individual as irregular in a country, a means  of social exclusion, implicitly captures a process featured by increased or  decreased vulnerability to marginalization, rather than describes a current  circumstance in sharp contrast to social inclusion (Gallie, 2004; cited in  Wang, 2012, p. 46). Besides, considering the process relates to ‘character  of the social system’ and ‘the dynamic development of social structures’  (Byrne, 2005, p. 2; cited in Wang, 2012, p. 47), this dynamic interpretation  provides an insight into the changing social institutional mechanisms in  Europe, through which migrants negotiate their identities. On the other  hand, irregularity is deemed as a legal status that features an interac- tive relationship between migrants and each destination country rather  than characteristics of migrants per se. This interaction is embedded in  Foucault’s claim that ‘irregular migrants’ is ‘an outcome of governmental  practices’ (p. 69) in Chapter 4. An emphasis on two agents allows a better  understanding of the nature of domination-subordination involved in the  interaction
