Summary/Abstract: This book emerges from those fruitful discussions as a collection of some of the matters presented, whose authors have virtuously stood out. Just as the previous books that arose from other TMC editions, Current Challenges in Migration Policy and Law, gives the opportunity not only to experienced professors and researches but especially to young scholars to divulge their studies and present their experiences in the various research fields migration can be discussed, rethought and further developed. We are thankful to Transnational Press London as it believed in our aspirations as editors and it stimulated us to be protagonists in the process of editing and building up this book the way we believed it would contribute to the current discussions on migration. As scholars and young researchers, we are delighted by this opportunity created by Professor Sirkeci. “International migration is one of the most challenging and critical factors shaping the future of societies and economies today. Its accumulated complexity challenges academics, politicians, professionals and citizens. Bringing together the voices of authors from diverse countries and backgrounds, belonging to a new generation of researchers, this book brings new clues to understand how modern policies are built and new tools to act for a better world.” , João Peixoto, Lisbon School of Economics and Management (ISEG), Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal, Contents INTRODUCTION Emília Lana de Freitas Castro and Sergio Maia Tavares Marques CHAPTER 1.

- Summary/Abstract:Introduction The term globalization has been a main topic of political and academic debate since late 1980s. Broadly speaking, globalization refers to free movement of goods, service and people in an integrated manner; referred as coming all countries together. One of the main characteristics of globalization is the increase in migratory flows of people as a result of political, economic, or environmental causes as well as easier access to information, means of travel and communication.

- Summary/Abstract:The international labour migration is an important phenomenon for both migrant-sending and migrant-receiving countries. According to the International Labour Organisation (ILO) statistics, in 2017, migrant workers accounted for 164 million of the world’s estimated 258 million international migrants (ILO, 2018). There are 234 million international migrants who are at working age which impacts on the ILO statistical data (ibid). The labour participation of migrant workers into global labour force (70.0 per cent) exceeds the total non-migrants’ participation (61.6 per cent) (ILO, 2018). However, the statistical data does not reflect the number of irregular migrant workers who participate into global labour force undocumented without a legal status. Therefore, the percentage of migrant worker participation into the world labour force might well be higher than the official figures.

- Summary/Abstract:Human rights are abstractly defined as the basic set of fundamental rights and freedoms owed equally to every person by virtue of being human. At its core, human rights are supported by the idea of human dignity, freedom, justice and world peace (UN 1948, Preamble). Human rights law aims at rendering this ideal more concrete by enacting a universal code that regulates the state’s actions towards individuals and groups (UN 1948, Preamble). The code aggregates a series of basic civil, political, economic, cultural and social rights that are meant to be protected irrespective of race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status (UN 1948, art. 2).

- Summary/Abstract:In the 1990s scholars and experts predicted that climate change would trigger mass human mobility within the following decades (Geddes, Sommerville, 2013). However, climate change effects are often not the only cause of movement, as people also consider other factors such as economic situation, political stability, insecurity, attachment to a territory, the cost of relocation and their perspectives on a new place to settle (Mayer, 2011). At the same time, climate change effects can also exacerbate other social problems like population growth in dangerous areas, widespread poverty, famine and pandemic diseases (Myers, Kent, 1995).

- Summary/Abstract:In recent years, migration studies have increasingly started to draw attention to diaspora strategies pursued by nation states. Indeed, diaspora policies are becoming a common phenomenon in the globalized world: Large sending states such as China long have developed policies intended to embrace and control “their diaspora”. Using the example of Chinese migrants in Austria, this article focusses on China’s policies towards overseas Chinese and the complex transnational environments in which they unfold and evolve: How are these policies put into practice? And what actors exert influence on these processes? The mixed-method approach of this study is based on a qualitative content analysis of two Chinese language weeklies in Austria (Europe Weekly, hereafter: EW, and the Huaxinbao, HXB), of the Austrian Chinese internet forums www.achina.at (AC) and www.outuo.net (OT), as well as of Chinese state media. Included into the analysis are articles and postings that focus on activities of overseas Chinese organizations (mainly in Austria), on meetings between Chinese migrants and Chinese state officials, as well as on China’s overseas Chinese strategies. In addition, the analysis includes a critical interpretation and analysis of official Chinese documents, official statements by Chinese politicians, teaching materials for Chinese cadres, official publications on China’s diaspora politics, as well as of Chinese language research conducted in China.

- Summary/Abstract:Since 2015 an uncontrolled increase in the arrivals of migrants has not been followed by a shared response based on solidarity (Carrera et al., 2015; Thielemann et al., 2010). The so-called “refugee crisis” has highlighted the European Union’s inability to address the issue of migration. Indeed, the initial empathy expressed by the Heads of State and Government of the Member States with regard to the serious shipwreck off the Libyan coast in April 2015 has given way to “externalization of migration and border controls” (MorenoLax & Giuffré, 2017:3).

- Summary/Abstract:The objective of this research paper is to examine the valorization of procedural rationality in the field of fundamental rights related to migration from non-EU countries. This is in the context of an EU which is strengthening its constitutional nature, which sees a transition from the concept of government to the concept of governance. In this legal environment it is crucial to guarantee the effectiveness of fundamental rights, thus increasing their normative scope with regard to migration. The challenge to European governance practices and structures is how to transform the valorization of procedural rationality to essential rationality. This leads the democratic praxis to re-appropriate its origin. Nevertheless, this concept of procedural rationality establishes soft law as the fastest and most flexible solution to the migration challenge.
