The Effects of Migration on Germany

Author(s): Petronella Képes / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Migration from third world countries toward the European Union is one of the biggest challenges that the European Union has to face. It represents political, economic, and societal risks as well as new opportunities. Depending on the weights one attaches to the ups or the downs of migration, the overall effects of migration are dubious. There is also a problem even with the term migration because people use it in several meanings: one of the goals of this paper is to dispel the misunderstanding around the definition. A previous research focused on the probable effects on Germany's population of immigration coming from the third world simply as a function of the number of immigrants. The purpose of the current paper is to elaborate further this simple model by introducing education. Namely, if the willingness to have children also depends on education, how will Germany’s population react to immigration, how the distribution of subpopulations will change. The paper presents possible scenarios by using evolutionary game theoretical tools.

Refugees’ Perception of Racism: A Case Study of Iranian Refugees in Sweden

Author(s): Chnoor Maki / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This research is based on a case study regarding Iranian refugees in Sweden and it strives to find out how Iranian refugees have experienced racism in Sweden; if they have been exposed to racism or not? The aim of this study is to give voice to marginalized people so we might discover the hidden aspects of racism that might not be obvious for any researcher. The data for this article is based on semi-structured interviews that have been conducted with Iranian refugees in Sweden in 2017. Most of the participants in this study were Iranian refugees who have been in Sweden for less than 5 years, at the time of this research. In this paper, drawing on 13 semi-structured interviews, I show that in Sweden, racism emerges in two important levels; individual level and structural level. Furthermore, I show that racism is not limited to a specific group; different ethnicities and nationalities are prejudiced against each other. In addition, the discourse of “them” and “us” exist amongst refugees and immigrants. This distinction has been built upon supposed “cultural superiority” of Swedes which brings about a distinction between immigrants and Swedes in this case

Dreams of Transnational Social Protection: Youth Returnees in Mexico

Author(s): Victoria Tse / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This chapter seeks to broaden existing discussions on social protection and migration with the inclusion of return migration, looking at youth returnees in Mexico in particular. The research asks what formal social protections are provided to youth returnees in the case of Mexico by the Mexican federal government. If no such provisions are made, how do these youth returnees create and piece together their own forms of social protections, and what do their social protection environments look like as they seek to realize their futures back in Mexico? With over 258 million migrants worldwide (United Nations, 2017), many of whom fall outside the purview of formal social protection institutions, there has been an increased interest in how migration impacts social protection and vulnerabilities.

Young migrants’ experiences with voluntary legal guardians in Palermo, Sicily

Author(s): Francesca Viola / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

According to the Italian Ministry of Labour and Social Policies, as of June 2018, in Italy there were 13,1511 Unaccompanied and Separated Children (UASC) outside their country of origin2; 92.5% of which were males and 99.2% between the ages of 14-17 (Ministero del Lavoro e delle Politiche Sociali, 2018). At the time, the highest concentration of UASC (more than 40%) resided in Sicily (ibid.); research about UASC in this region is, therefore, particularly relevant.

Relational Proximity, Boundary-Making and (Im)Mobility: Migrant Children’s Narratives of The Streets in Ashua and Rabat, Morocco

Author(s): Chiara Massaroni / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Children spend most of their time in three mainly institutionalised settings: school, home and recreational institutions (Rasmussen, 2004). In the Majority World,1 they also often spend a substantial amount of time supporting the family through work, often outside these three areas, such as in the fields. In both the Majority and Minority Worlds, the street is a fourth – or fifth – place that children occupy, either on their journey from home to one of these institutionalised settings, or as a play space in itself.

La OIM como difusora global de las políticas de migración ordenada. La implantación del control migratorio mediante los mecanismos de cooperación técnica sobre migración y capacity-building

Author(s): Silvana Estefanía Santi Pereyra / Language(s): Spanish Publication Year: 0

The idea of orderly migration – introduced in 1953 by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) – has recently gained further exposure as a result of the 2018 Global Compact for Migration. The aim of this chapter is to review how the IOM has implemented two mechanisms, used to convey orderly migration: technical cooperation for migration and capacity-building, especially in the sectors of migration and border control. Through the analysis of IOM institutional material, the work tracks national cases that, since the early 2000s, have been taken into consideration for both the dissemination and implementation of related policy guidelines related to these mechanisms. The investigation shows that IOM is committed to establishing a nexus between migration and security. This is pursued through the promotion of policies and technology systems for migration controls, with a special focus on Southern Hemisphere countries.

Características de la inserción laboral de los trabajadores procedentes del Triángulo Norte de Centroamérica en México

Author(s): Liliana Meza González,Carla Pederzini Villarreal / Language(s): Spanish Publication Year: 0

Drawing on data taken from the 2015 Intercensal Survey, this paper analyzes the characteristics of the labor insertion of workers from the Northern Triangle of Central America in Mexico and presents evidence that the salaries and benefits received by these workers are higher than those of Mexican workers, in groups of immigrants and certain sectors, controlled by observable characteristics. Estimates of the decomposition exercises of the Blinder-Oaxaca type indicate that, in some cases, the unexplained part of the differential is determinant of the labor results in favor of migrants, which is considered early evidence of the favorable treatment they receive in Mexico. The results suggest that there is a demand for these workers by the Mexican productive sector and that, Central American migrants in Mexico are also positively selected from their counterparts in their countries of origin.

Protección consular mexicana en Estados Unidos: análisis conceptual

Author(s): Karla Angélica Valenzuela Moreno / Language(s): Spanish Publication Year: 0

During the 1990s, some countries of destination started strengthening their relations with their diasporas. In an effort to tighten the bond with its own expat community, the Mexican government reshaped the functions of its consular network in the United States, where 97% of Mexican migrants live. This chapter analyses the concepts of consular protection, assistance and attention. As a result of this analysis, the chapter proposes a new definition of consular protection, as well as, a new way to classify consular actions. Finally, this study suggests that consular protection is a continuum which encompasses all kinds of consular actions under three categories: preventive protection, reactive protection, and capacity-building protection.

Vacaciones en Paz: los refugiados saharauis entre el activismo político y la solidaridad española

Author(s): Rita Reis / Language(s): Spanish Publication Year: 0

Amid a process of decolonization and national construction, 160,000 Sahrawis have lived in refugee camps (Tinduf, Algeria), since 1975. Although existing in “the margins of the world” (Agier, 2008), the camps are centers of transnational movements and relations. Vacaciones en Paz is a solidarity program through which thousands of Sahrawi children spend the summer with Spanish families. Organized by the Youth Union of Saguía el Hamra and Río de Oro (UJSARIO) and the Amigos del Pueblo Saharaui associations, its main objective is to allow children to have access to specialized medical care, a varied food diet, and to leave the high temperatures of the refugee camps. In addition, it also promotes and strengthens the Sahrawi cause, through the relationships created between families and their children. This chapter explores the Vacaciones en Paz as an example of the multiple dynamics involved between political activism and humanitarian aid.

Renegociando fronteras: Solidaridad vecinal y activismo migrante en Madrid

Author(s): Ana Santamarina / Language(s): Spanish Publication Year: 0

In a context in which the city of Madrid has become a border space – with police raids, deportations and harassments as patterns of the everyday landscapes of public spaces in the city – several grassroots organizations have emerged disrupting these geographies and turning the city into a space of border struggle (De Genova, Mezzadra and Pickles, 2015). This chapter maps the multiple trajectories of resistance that operate re-negotiating borders from a daily basis in Madrid. These draw from diverse neighbor solidarity movements to particular forms of migrant subaltern political agency. Engaging with these, the chapter addresses questions of subalternity, migration and political action (Featherstone, 2008, 2012). On the one hand, this study portrays the border as a dynamic and contested space, where migrants and neighbors negotiate the power relations at stake in the processes of bordering and the practices of racist police violence (Mezzadra and Neilson, 2013; Papadopulos and Tsiannos, 2013). On the other hand, it explores how migrant activism is questioning the social borders that operate within urban spaces and urban political movements challenging white privilege and colonialism and opening new debates that are reshaping migrant solidarity movements.

Foreword: The Migration Conference 2020 Amid Havoc Caused By Covid-19 Pandemic

Author(s): Ibrahim Sirkeci,Merita Zulfiu Alili / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The COVID-19 Pandemic caused a great deal of stress and changed our work and private lives forever. Given the volume of infected cases and the death toll since March 2020, the pandemic touched pretty much everybody’s life one way or another. We have seen friends and family falling ill and hospitalised as well as some seeing the worst. Universities and the teaching and research profession in general changed forever and it is already clear there is no going back. The “new normal” will hardly look like what we remember doing a year ago.

The Autoethnographer As Migrant Artist: Practicing Art And Ethnogrphy On The Research Field

Author(s): Persefoni Myrtsou / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

In this paper I talk about my autoethnographic research as both a migrant artist and an ethnographerworking on the subject of artists’ migration. In particular, I elucidate the connections between myartistic practice and ethnographic research as they have complemented each other during my fieldwork.Such connections have been first thematised by Hal Foster (1995). Foster acknowledges the“ethnographic turn” in contemporary art, which encouraged socially-engaged forms of art. At the sametime, however, Foster finds the fascination of artists with anthropology and the everydayunsubstantiated, and deems related approaches to be “pseudo-ethnographic”. He argues that someartists use “ethnographic self-fashioning” and “self-othering” in order to benefit from being associatedwith a fashionable disadvantaged minority culture or group. So, for Foster the artist as ethnographerappears as an impossible position to occupy.

Translanguaging As A Positive Migration Effect In The Home Country

Author(s): Veronika Kareva / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The aim of this paper is to examine if the experiences with translanguaging as a way of integration in language education, can have a positive influence when applied back in the migrating (home) countries. This is especially relevant for the multicultural countries in the Western Balkans that are affected by migration not only because of economic reasons, but also because of the instability and conflicts between the different nationalities. Sixty (60) university students from Kosovo and North Macedonia participate in the study. Data collection instruments include a questionnaire for students and interviews with university and high school professors.

Skilled Immigrants In Brazil: Profile For Science, Technology, Engineering And Mathematics (Stem) Occupations

Author(s): Renan Gadoni Canaan / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

In this article, we describe the demographic, human capital and occupational characteristics of immigrants in STEM occupations in Brazil and we address key factors that determine their earnings. The main findings demonstrate the importance of demographic variables in income earned by foreigners. Immigrants, just like native-born Brazilians, face a historical system of discrimination based on gender and ethnoracial hierarchies in the workforce. Moreover, results show that immigrants have higher average earnings compared to native-born Brazilians in STEM occupations. This may be explained by the fact that a greater proportion of immigrants occupy a managerial STEM job.

Jewish refugees coming from Germany: a study of nonmember involvement in the league of nations

Author(s): Saskia Millmann / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The League of Nations was the first 'world organisation' an international organisation to promote international co-operation and world peace. One of its areas of engagement was the technical activity of minority protection. This paper will analyse the League's efforts to address the 'Jewish problem' – the countless refugees fleeing Nazi-Germany. The League did not only provide a platform for its member states but also enabled non-member states to participate in and engage with certain aspects of its activities. Consequently, the paper asks how states that chose not to be members of the League of Nations contribute to - or sabotage - the League's efforts to alleviate the refugee crisis.

Trends Of Migration Of Salonikan Jewry In The 19th And 20th Centuries

Author(s): Yitzchak Kerem / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Salonikan Jewry dispersed greatly throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. The paper will focus on periodization and settlement patterns. From 1840 to the end of the 19th century, Salonikan families came with capital, merchandise, and established businesses and institutions in the Old City of Jerusalem and expanded settlement to new neighborhoods in the Western part of the city. At the end of the 19th century and first decade of the 20th century as the Ottoman empire was disbanding, in the face of economic and political uncertainty, and the possibility of forced conscription in light of the 1908 Young Turk Revolution, Salonikan Jewish migration ensued to the United States, and much less to Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil. When Salonika became Greek, in 1912, migration continued to the USA and England due to Greek troop violence, the large 1917 fire leaving 55,000 Jews homeless and the Venizelos regime shafting the Jews on indemnities, and a 1920 separate electoral college to block Jewish weight in national elections. The 1924-5 anti-Sabbath legislation prompted migration to Eretz-Israel, and after the 1931 anti-Semitic Campbell riots, 15,000 Jews migrated to Paris, Lyons, and Marseilles, France, and 18,000 Jews to Tel Aviv, and Haifa. In the Holocaust 54,000 of 56,000 Jews were annihilated in Auschwitz, Treblinka, and elsewhere. After the war, 4 illegal immigration boats took Salonikan and Greek survivors to Eretz-Israel in 1945-6, and after 3 years of civil war, in 1951 the United States enabled Greek survivors migrate to United States without being included in the Greek quota.
