Migration, immigration and emigration Books

Book SynopsisThe complex and changing relations between religion and migration are central to many urgent questions about diversity, inequality and pluralism. This wide-ranging research review explores these questions in different periods of history, in different regions of the world and in different traditions of faith. The emphasis is on how religions inspire, manage and benefit from migration as well as on how the experience of migration affects religious beliefs, identities and practices. The review discusses articles which examine the interface between religion and migration at levels of analysis ranging from the local to the global, and from the individual to the faith community.Table of ContentsContents: Acknowledgements Introduction James Beckford PART I OVERVIEWS OF MIGRATION AND RELIGION 1.

Book SynopsisMigration is one of the most vexing policy issues of our time. In this Handbook the editors have assembled an all-star cast of scholars to look at the many dimensions of migration policy. The book breaks new ground and it will be required reading for anyone seriously interested in how and why states seek to control the movement of people across borders.'- James F. Hollifield, Southern Methodist University, USIn this comprehensive Handbook, an interdisciplinary team of distinguished scholars from the social sciences explores the connections between migration and social policy. They test conflicting claims as to the positive and negative effects of different types of migration against the experience of countries in Europe, North America, Australasia, the Middle East and South Asia, assessing arguments as to migration s impact on the financial, social and political stability and sustainability of social programs. The volume reflects the authors' curiosity about the controversy over the connection between social and cultural diversity and popular support for the welfare state.Providing timely and original chapters which both critique the existing literature as well as build on and advance theoretical understanding, the authors focus on the formal settlement and integration polices created for migrants as well as corollary state policies affecting migrants and migration. A clutch of chapters investigates the linkage between migration and trade theory, foreign direct investment, globalization, public opinion, public education and welfare programs. Chapters then deal with leading receiving states as well as India and the authors examine the regulation of migration at the subnational, national, regional and global levels. The topic of migration and security is also covered.This compelling and exhaustive review of existing scholarship and state-of-the-art original empirical analysis is essential reading for graduates and academics researching the field.Contributors include: C.

Book SynopsisThe recent unprecedented scale of Chinese migration has had far-reaching consequences. Within China, many villages have been drained of their young and most able workers, cities have been swamped by the floating population , and many rural migrants have been unable to integrate into urban society. Internationally, the Chinese have become increasingly more mobile. This Handbook provides a unique collection of new and original research on internal and international Chinese migration and its effects on the sense of belonging of migrants.The expert contributors discuss topics including discriminatory wage penalties in China's migrant labour markets, the socio-economic wellbeing of China's migrant workers, the effect of migration on rural communities in China, and identities of overseas Chinese and their links with China. They offer a new perspective on the identity formation of Chinese migrants whilst focusing on their wellbeing and communities.Students and researchers of contemporary Chinese demography, internal migration and international affairs will find this Handbook to be essential reading. It will also be of interest to social and political scientists and migration practitioners in the field.Contributors: K.W. Chan, Z. Cheng, R. Connelly, F. Guo, E.L.-E. Ho, Y. Huang, R.R. Iredale, Z.

ZhuoTrade Review'This book is a wonderful example of cross-disciplinary and transnational collaboration. Contributors are leading scholars from Australia, China, US, Singapore, the UK, and other countries; and they are drawn from Economics, Sociology, Geography, Anthropology, Business, and allied fields. Iredale and Guo have assembled researchers whose work complement each other s and provides a comprehensive picture of Chinese migration. In short, this book is a must-read for social scientists who study contemporary Chinese society and China in the world, and it will have a long shelf life.' --C. Cindy Fan, China Review International'Iredale and Guo have produced a twenty-first century handbook by placing Chinese migration in a world context. A one-stop shop for up-to-date information about Chinese internal and international migration, the book articulates an intellectually expansive agenda that highlights identity, wellbeing, inequality, and global networks. Contributions by leading social scientists from several continents are richly illustrated with data, maps, and qualitative materials. A good mix of broad trends and detailed case studies further positions the book to appeal to researchers, students, practitioners and beyond.' --C. Cindy Fan, University of California, Los Angeles, US'The range of topics covered in the chapters is impressive. Written by both established and younger scholars, all of whom are actively researching migration in and from China, this Handbook will become an authoritative guide to the variety of themes around internal and international population movements and China.' --Ronald Skeldon, University of Sussex, UK and Maastricht University, the NetherlandsTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisThe populations of many countries in the world are becoming more culturally diverse.

This book offers a solid statistical and econometric perspective on this topical subject by bringing together studies from different countries in Europe and North America.The research in this volume sheds light on several consequences of cultural diversity, including positive impacts on innovation, growth and entrepreneurship. The original and quantitative contributions also highlight the negative social effects on communities. Throughout the volume, it is evident that the effects of cultural diversity on socio-economic outcomes depend largely on the characteristics of local economies, populations and communities.Utilising a broad spectrum of research methods over a multitude of research areas, this comprehensive overview of the socio-economic impacts of cultural diversity is a valuable resource for students and academics.Contributors: I.

Book Synopsis'As immigration has spread from traditional receiving nations to developed countries throughout the world, the economics of migration has become a burgeoning field of research. Amelie Constant and Klaus Zimmermann's International Handbook offers an excellent, state-of-the-art guide to the rapidly changing intellectual terrain, providing comprehensive coverage of the topics necessary to comprehend patterns and processes of migration in the world today. It will be an indispensable guide to scholars and policy-makers for years to come.'- Douglas S. Massey, Princeton University, USMigration economics is a dynamic, fast-growing research area with significant and rising policy relevance. While its scope is continually extending, there is no authoritative treatment of its various branches in one volume. Written by 44 leading experts in the field, this carefully commissioned and refereed Handbook brings together 28 state-of-the-art chapters on migration research and related issues.Well-written and highly accessible, each chapter comprises a critical assessment of the status quo and presents challenges to the traditional economics of migration by addressing taboo issues. Topics explored include: child labor migrants; immigrant educational mismatch; ethnic hiring; immigrants, wages and obesity; ethnic identities and the nation-state; natural disasters and migration; immigration-religiosity intersections; immigration and crime; immigrants' time use; happiness and migration; diaspora resources and policies; and the evaluation of immigration policies.Forging new foundations in the field of migration and providing areas for future research, this Handbook will prove a seminal reference for academics and students with an interest in international and labor economics, and in regional studies. Social psychologists and behavioral scientists, as well as practitioners in political, cultural, social, demographic, environmental and healthcare arenas, will find the ethnic identities coverage and analysis of methods for studying ethnic identities an invaluable reference tool.Contributors: F.M.

ZimmermannTrade Review’Constant and Zimmermann have assembled a collection of essays that is remarkable in one extremely important way: it integrates many novel research topics into the mainstream immigration literature, including ethnic hiring patterns, obesity, the economic consequences of interethnic marriages, the link between natural disasters and migration, immigrant time use, and the relationship between migration and happiness. These survey papers are destined to become beacons for future researchers as each of these topics will inevitably receive much more attention in future research.’ -- George Borjas, Harvard University’This is an extremely impressive volume which guides readers into thinking about migration in new ways. In its various chapters, international experts examine contemporary migration issues through a multitude of lenses ranging from child labor, human trafficking and jobs to the political economy of migration and refugees. The result is a fascinating assessment of the role of migration in driving population change in the modern age. This will surely serve as a reference volume for those interested in migration for years to come.’ -- Deborah Cobb-Clark, Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research, Australia’A comprehensive, truly encyclopedic collection of original surveys and essays discussing migration and topics related to the movement of people among countries and areas. The studies both present and review the literature critically and in many cases offer new results. The basic theory is laid out right from the start, providing a nice introduction and framework for the other 27 chapters. While most are interesting and worth reading, as a novice in the field of migration I found the essays on human smuggling and natural disasters to be particularly enlightening and important. I can recommend this Handbook to any labor economist or sociologist with a scholarly interest, either for research or for instruction, in this general area. The volume is definitive.' -- - Daniel S.

Book SynopsisIn this timely and important book, Professor Brad K. Blitz, a leading expert on post-conflict integration, statelessness, migration, development and human rights, reminds us how the concept of freedom of movement, and its relationship to migration, has received little comprehensive treatment among academics, even though it underpins what we expect as individuals living in liberal states. Yet, there are 214 million international migrants and 740 million internal migrants in the world today. It is all the more paradoxical therefore that there is no guarantee of the right of freedom of movement where most migration takes place against the backdrop of both official and unofficial controls. With strong theoretical underpinnings, and drawing from a range of philosophers, both ancient and modern, Professor Blitz, examines the legal foundations for the free movement of people, before undertaking a practical critique of recent free movement experiences in Spain, Italy, Serbia, Croatia, Russia and Slovenia. This is a tour de force. A work of remarkable scholarship, prescience, and practical relevance, which deserves to be read by all on this much-neglected subject of freedom of movement.'- Satvinder Juss, King s College London, UK'An advance, both analytically and empirically, for migration studies. With a base in international law and political theory, Blitz admirably opens up the ambiguous question of freedom of movement in relation to the restrictions still imposed by national borders and sovereignty, and the difficulties migrants face turning movement into successful settlement. Focusing on Europe, and migration experiences internal and external to the EU, as well as within and across national boundaries, the book significantly challenges current immigration paradigms with a series of atypical and provocative case studies.'- Adrian Favell, Sciences Po, Paris, FranceMigration and Freedom is a thorough and revealing exploration of the complex relationship between mobility and citizenship in Europe. Brad Blitz draws upon European and international law, political theory, economics, history and contemporary studies of migration to provide an original account of the opportunities and challenges associated with the right to free movement in Europe and beyond.Integrating over 160 interviews with individuals in Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, Spain, the UK and Russia, this book provides a unique focus on both internal and inter-state mobility and a re-evaluation of the concept of freedom of movement. The author documents successful and unsuccessful settlement and establishment cases and records how both official and informal restrictions on individuals' mobility have effectively created new categories of citizenship and exclusion within Europe.This book is an original study aimed at academics, students and government officials interested in migration, international studies, public and social policy, and politics.Contents: 1.

Book SynopsisAt a time when remittances are widely recognised as of growing importance for development in many countries, John Connell and Richard Brown present this comprehensive overview of the role of remittances in economic and social development. They investigate various topics including reflections on methodology, the motives and determinants of remittances, their socio-economic impacts, the particular role of community organisations and social remittances, and the broad social and cultural impacts of remittances. They pay special attention to small island and Central Asian states, where remittances are of particular significance and explore the recent historical evolution of remittances and the policy implications in both sending and receiving countries.

Book SynopsisMigration is now firmly embedded as a leading global policy issue of the twenty-first century. Whilst not a new phenomenon, it has altered significantly in recent decades, with changing demographics, geopolitics, conflict, climate change and patterns of global development shaping new types of migration. Against this evolving backdrop, this Handbook offers an authoritative overview of key debates underpinning migration and health in a contemporary global context.The first major handbook in this field, this Handbook of Migration and Health provides a comprehensive global overview of issues relating to migration and health. The Handbook is organised into six main sections: theories and models of migration; rights and deservingness; vulnerability and precarity; specific healthcare needs and priorities; healthcare provision; and transnational and diasporic networks. Chapters focus on a wide range of migrant groups including refugees, asylum seekers, trafficked people, international students, healthcare workers, and diasporic communities.Bringing together the contributions of 58 leading researchers and drawing on case studies and examples from across the globe, the Handbook is intended as a scholarly, yet accessible reference tool for researchers, students, and practitioners interested in the field of migration and health.Contributors include: S.

Tillmann, F. Thomas, K. Vasey, J. Vearey, G.A. Williams, R. Wilding, S.S. Willen, H. Zeeb, A. ZwiTrade ReviewThe movement of people and populations is intrinsic to today's globalised existence, with complex health and wellbeing consequences for people on the move, for host communities and for global health economies. Yet programmatic approaches to addressing the wellbeing of migrants although badly needed remain poorly developed in many parts of the world. Through this book Felicity Thomas successfully crosses disciplinary boundaries to bring together an authoritative, coordinated and comprehensive approach to what is one of the major health issues of our time.' --Jane Anderson, Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, UK'In this impressive volume, Felicity Thomas has orchestrated a comprehensive and cutting-edge contribution to the understanding of the relationship between migration and health. Drawing together experts from multiple disciplines, examining a wide range of pertinent issues, and developing innovative theoretical insights, the book offers much-needed clarity about a timely and complex global problem. Students, scholars, policymakers, and practitioners will all find much to learn in this superb collection.' --Daniel Jordan Smith, Brown University'With the rapid growth of international migration - whether through war, civil conflict, economic necessity or choice - there is a compelling need to understand the links between migration and health. Drawing on the latest research and powerful new theory, this remarkable book provides the first comprehensive account of these issues. A ''must read'' for researchers, students and activists interested in migration, mobility, population movement and health.' --Peter Aggleton, UNSW AustraliaTable of ContentsContents: PART I INTRODUCTION 1.

Book SynopsisThis book is a strong piece of scholarship and its contributors, among the best in the field, must be commended. They have achieved their goal to establish interculturalism as a new paradigm for diversity management. By the same token, they have provided governments, cities and academia with a possible alternative to multiculturalism (a term which is declining in favour in Europe). I have no doubt that the book, with its welcome combination of theoretical and empirical inputs, will soon become a milestone.'- Gérard Bouchard, Université du Québec à Chicoutimi, Canada'This excellent collection of uniformly high quality essays analyses the theory, policy and implementation of the increasingly popular idea of interculturalism, and shows how it offers the best way to integrate minorities at the local level. It is underpinned by a well worked out theoretical framework and embedded in rich empirical analysis.'- Bhikhu Parekh, University of Westminster and Member of the House of Lords, UKCities are increasingly recognized as new players in diversity studies, and many of them are showing evidence of an intercultural shift. As an emerging concept and policy, interculturalism is becoming the most pragmatic answer to concrete concerns in cities. Within this framework, this book covers two major concerns: how to conceptualize and how to implement intercultural policies.Through the use of theoretical and comparative case studies, the current most prominent contributors in the field examine an area that multicultural policies have missed in the past: interaction between people from different cultures and national backgrounds. By compiling the recent research in Europe and elsewhere this book concludes that interculturalism is becoming both an attractive and efficient new paradigm for diversity management.Academics, students and researchers working in the field of diversity studies and related areas will find this to be an essential read. Taking an innovative approach to issues raised by interculturalism in cities, it will also appeal to policy makers seeking to formulate a new policy focus and approaches for diversity management.Contributors: T.

I have no doubt that the book, with its welcome combination of theoretical and empirical inputs, will soon become a milestone.’ -- Gérard Bouchard, Université du Québec à Chicoutimi, Canada‘This excellent collection of uniformly high quality essays analyses the theory, policy and implementation of the increasingly popular idea of interculturalism, and shows how it offers the best way to integrate minorities at the local level.

Book SynopsisA hugely important contribution to one of the key questions of our time: how to combine, in a socially just way, the universalism embodied in national welfare states with the diversity and transnational mobility of populations. Using Myrdal's 1944 analysis, An American Dilemma: The Negro Problem and Modern Democracy, as a launch, the chapters circumnavigate this question 360 degrees across twentieth century history, across the Atlantic, and across the contemporary world, tracking the arguments this way and that. A must read.'- Fiona Williams, University of Leeds, UK'Gathering excellent contributors, this book explores the contested relationship between social policy and ethnic-racial diversity. Adopting an historical perspective and starting from Gunnar Myrdal's seminal book An America Dilemma, the volume compares the American experience with the European situation, where the implications of ethnic and racial diversity for social policy are now widely debated. Students of ethnic relations and of social policy from both sides of the Atlantic should read and engage with this unique and outstanding volume.'- Daniel Béland, University of Saskatchewan, Canada'Has racial and ethnic fragmentation undermined American social solidarity and undercut the US welfare state? Even more pertinently, now that we are all multiculturalists and every nation is a melting pot, do the formerly so-homogenous Europeans face similar dilemmas? Are they joining in a race to the social policy bottom, or have they found ways to overcome these divisions? Such questions are pursued by these fascinating essays that have relevance for both sides of the Atlantic, and for scholars and policy makers alike.'- Peter Baldwin, Global Distinguished Professor, New York University, USIn this interdisciplinary volume, leading and emerging scholars examine the relationship between homogeneity and welfare state development. They trace Gunnar Myrdal's influence on thinking about race in the US and explore current European states' approaches to the strangers in their midst, and what social citizenship looks like from a global perspective.Myrdal's An American Dilemma: The Negro Problem and Modern Democracy persuaded many scholars that the United States failed to develop a robust welfare state because of its ethnic and racial heterogeneity. Conversely, it argued that homogeneity was a precondition for the creation of strong welfare states in European, especially Nordic, countries. With increasing diversity now challenging these welfare states, the kind of 'dilemma' that Myrdal identified no longer appears to be solely an American one.Students and scholars of contemporary welfare states in the social sciences and policy studies will find this to be an insightful read, as the book challenges current perceptions. It will also be of interest to policy makers and practitioners looking to examine the historical context behind the politics of welfare states in the US and Scandinavia.Contributors: H.

Book SynopsisPeople are undoubtedly on the move, when one out of every 33 people in the world is an international migrant. Concurrently, nation-states are attempting to curb migration for security reasons. International migration is perceived, in some eyes, as an existential security threat in the post-Cold War era. This Handbook provides a state-of-the-art analysis of the critically important links between migration and security in a globalising world. The Handbook presents original contributions suggesting innovative and emerging frontiers in the study of the securitization of migration. Experts from different fields reflect on their respective conceptualisations of the migration-security nexus, and consider how an interdisciplinary and multifaceted dialogue can stimulate and enrich our understanding of the securitization of migration in the contemporary world. This Handbook will aid students of migration studies to understand the comparative policies in creating and reproducing the migration-security nexus, and offer scholars and practitioners in migration studies a comprehensive understanding of a multitude of aspects of the securitization of migration. It will also appeal to academics, specialists and practitioners in the field of security studies who are keen to learn how migration has become securitized.Trade Review`Managing migration flows used to be the remit of government departments of the interior and labour. Now foreign offices, anti-terrorist agencies and ministries of defence are involved. What accounts for this dramatic process of securitization? In this pioneering book, the editor and contributors go beyond familiar post-9/11 narratives to untangle the theoretical, discursive, gendered and political aspects of the question. The authors cover topics like smuggling, trade, migration policies and health pandemics, doing so in a conceptually challenging and original way.’ -- Robin Cohen, Emeritus Professor, University of Oxford, UKTable of ContentsContents: Migration and Security: Key debates and research agenda Philippe Bourbeau Part I On the Importance of Migration and Security 1.

Book SynopsisStephen Castles provides a deeper understanding of recent 'migration crises' in this fascinating and highly topical work. The book links theory and methodology to real-world migration experiences, with a truly global perspective and in-depth analysis of the links between economics, migration and asylum and refugee issues. Key features surrounding this complex and often controversial field are examined through five thematic sections: the sociological theories and methodologies most appropriate for understanding the migratory process, including the changing nature of international migration in an era of globalization analysis of contemporary types of migration and the cruciality of understanding migration as a dynamic social process - inability to do so may lead to policy failure and unintended consequences the relationship between migration and development asylum and refugees the effects of international migration on citizenship and identity, providing a critical perspective on the emergence of transnationalism. Migration, Citizenship and Identity will appeal to graduate students, senior undergraduates and lecturers in international migration, globalization, sociology, political science, demography and geography. Government officials, civil society activists, social workers, medical personnel, lawyers and other professional groups whose work is concerned with migrants and refugees will also find much to engage them.

Book SynopsisConfronting questions of globalization, mobilities and space in the Mediterranean, and more specifically in the eastern Mediterranean, this book introduces a new type of complexity and ambiguity to the study of the global. In this theoretical frame an increasingly urban articulation of global logics and struggles, and an escalating use of urban space to make political claims, not only by citizens but also by foreigners, can be found. By emphasizing the interplay between global, regional and local phenomena, the book examines new forms and conditions, such as the transformation of borders, the reconfiguration of transnational communities, the agency of transnational families, new mobilities and diasporas, and transnational networks of humanitarian response. The contributions from a variety of disciplines demonstrate that the reconfiguration of mobilities and the accompanying problem of inhospitable politics towards refugees at different levels, as well as humanitarian responses to it, is one of the major impacts, globally speaking, of the Arab Spring. Through the reconfiguration of such new mobilities there is an urgency to properly map the space of the many trajectories of those transnational connections. The editor concludes that there is, however, great difficulty in doing so as it is constantly disconnected by new arrivals, constantly waiting to be determined by the configuration and reconfiguration of both historical and contemporary relations.This exploration of migration, mobilities and the Arab Spring, is essential reading for scholars across a multitude of disciplines. The book's themes are of major interest and importance for policymakers and administrators at national and international levels.Contributors include: H. Afailal, R. Al Akash, C. Beaugrand, K.

Book SynopsisPublications in this field have, in general, been based predominantly on the experiences of individual national settings. Migration, Health and Survival offers a comparative approach, bringing together leading international scholars to provide original works from the United States, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, England and Wales, Norway, Belgium, and Italy. Variations in physical and mental health and mortality among migrants in relation to their host populations are examined and analyzed in detail, with specific discussion of: the immigrant health and mortality advantage; the healthy migrant hypothesis; migrants as vulnerable populations; the long-term effects of acculturation on health; fast epidemiological transition among migrants; and the intergenerational transmission of mortality risk. The contributions in this volume enhance the reader's understanding of immigrant health and mortality conditions across these leading countries of immigration in the western world.This is an important reference for researchers of migrant studies as well as teachers of graduate level courses in population studies and allied disciplines. Practitioners involved in the provision of health care to immigrants and refugees will further benefit from the insightful analyses.Contributors include: O. Anikeeva, P. Bi, N. Biddle, P. Brzoska, G.

WilkinsonTrade Review'This work provides a rigorous review of factors predicting the health and mortality of immigrants both in the short and long term: healthy migrant selection effects are contrasted with the negative acculturation, blockages in labor markets, pre-immigration exposure to trauma among refugees, and other factors which can pose threats to health. Trovato concludes his book with an integrative model which is vital to understanding and tracking the health of the millions of asylum seekers and refugees in today's world.' --Steven Stack, Wayne State University, US'This edited volume is a timely addition to the burgeoning field of international migration and its health consequences. Frank Trovato has brought together a cadre of renowned researchers from the US, Canada, Australia and four European countries who explicate the multidimensional effects of migration on morbidity and mortality and situate the findings in time, place and culture.

Book SynopsisConcerns have arisen in recent decades about the impact of climate change on human mobility. Many people affected by climate change are forced or otherwise decide to migrate within or across international borders. Despite its clear importance, many questions remain open regarding the nature of the climate-migration nexus and its implications for laws and institutions. In the face of such uncertainty, this Research Handbook offers a comprehensive picture of laws and institutions relevant to climate migration and the multiple, often contradictory perspectives on the topic.Carefully edited chapters by leading scholars in the field provide a cross section of the various debates on what laws do, can do and should do in relation to the impacts of climate change on migration. A first part analyses the relations between climate change and migration. A second part explores how existing laws and institutions address the climate-migration nexus. In the final part, the chapters discuss possible ways forward.This timely Research Handbook provides much-needed insight into this complex issue for graduate and post-graduate students in climate change or migration law. It will also appeal to students and scholars in political science, international relations, environmental studies and migration studies, as well as policymakers and advocates.Contributors include: G.

Book SynopsisGovernments increasingly rely upon detention to control the movement of undocumented migrants and asylum seekers. The deprivation of liberty of non-citizens due to their undocumented or irregular status is often fraught with gross injustices. This book stresses the need for global policy-makers to address these practices in order to ensure compliance with fundamental human rights and prevent detention abuses. Approaching detention from an interdisciplinary perspective, this volume brings together leading writers and thinkers to provide a greater understanding of why it is such an important social phenomenon and suggest ways to confront it locally and globally. Challenging Immigration Detention thematically examines a broad range of situations across the globe, with contributors providing overviews of key issues, case studies and experiences in their fields, while highlighting potential strategies for curbing detention abuses. Demonstrating the value of varied analytical frameworks and investigative angles, the contributors provide urgently needed insight into a growing human rights issue. With cross-disciplinary investigation into an issue with immediate global importance, Challenging Immigration Detention is vital for undergraduates, postgraduates, activists, lawyers and policy-makers interested in international human rights. National and international humanitarian organizations and advocacy groups working in migrant and asylum rights will find this a compelling and diverse overview of migrant detention.Contributors include: S.

Book SynopsisThis book aims to provide a better understanding of how human cultures interact with climate change over an extended period of time. It is an analysis of the past and present, ranging from the first human migration to contemporary organizational management using an approach developed by Michel Foucault, defined as: the research, the practice, the experience, by which the subject operates on themselves the transformations necessary in order to have access to the truth. This book consists of two parts. The first part focuses on climate change and the substantial effects it had on the first human cultures. The second part explores the role of organizations and the development of new frameworks for action in more recent times of anthropogenic climate change.Table of ContentsIntroduction ix Part 1.

Book SynopsisWith unprecedented numbers of children on the move in search of safety, Protecting Migrant Children explores the complex legal and human rights issues that arise when children cross borders as migrants. It critically examines the strengths and weaknesses of international and domestic laws with the aim of identifying best practice for migrant children.The book brings together an interdisciplinary and multinational group of experts to assess the nature and root causes of child migration in different parts of the world, featuring national and comparative case studies in Australia, Canada, Europe, the United States and parts of Asia and Africa. The contributors address systematically the many challenges experienced and posed by young people who cross borders in search of protection, or a better quality of life. Identifying the many universal issues facing states who play host to these children, the book lays the foundations for new paradigms in law, policy and practice in the reception and management of child migrants, refugees and victims of trafficking. Topical and engaging, this book is an important resource for academics and students in human rights law; migration and refugee law; the administrative and procedural issues of refugee law, and comparative law; as well as in the social sciences and health sciences. Policymakers and workers within the community sector will also find this book stimulating and informative.Contributors include: E.O. Abuya, F. Anello, T. Baker, L.B. Benson, S. Bolton, K. Bones, M.

ZouTrade Review‘The interdisciplinary character of the book is one of its chief strengths: just as no one country can deal with international migration on its own, the complex and multidimensional phenomenon of international child migration cannot be adequately understood, or its challenges addressed, if viewed only through the lens of a single discipline. This is a valuable edited collection with wide appeal. It constitutes an important addition to the burgeoning literature on what are the mammoth and complex challenges to the realisation in practice of migrant children’s rights. It will be of interest and use to anyone concerned with children’s rights in the context of international migration and comfortably achieves the editors’ goal of providing 'a foundation for assessment and improvement' in the rather haphazard way in which states react to child migration.’ -- Alan Desmond, Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Law‘This is a valuable edited collection with wide appeal.

Book Synopsis'In this important book, Benoît Mayer forces us to confront the implications of labelling in the climate migration context, and skillfully leverages this debate to shine a light on broader questions of the evolving role of global governance. His forthright analysis is both refreshing and appropriately challenging.'- James C. Hathaway, University of Michigan Law School'The discussion on the legal aspects of climate migration is often limited to the issue of the legal status. Yet the debate extends way further, and Mayer offers a much-needed broader look at the different dimensions of this concept, their legal implications and political caveats.'- François Gemenne, University of Liège, Belgium, and Sciences Po, FrancePolitical narratives on climate or environmental migration have been deployed in support of policy arguments relating to humanitarian assistance, migration, and climate change, or to promote national security or economic interests. But while climate change certainly has various impacts on human mobility, it does not appear to create distinct ''climate migrants'' or (in general) unprecedented migration scenarios. In this timely book, Benoit Mayer offers a unique interdisciplinary inquiry into the prospects of different political narratives on climate migration.The Concept of Climate Migration identifies the essential narratives around climate migration - the humanitarian narrative, the migration narrative and the climate change narrative - and assesses their prospects. It argues that although such arguments will influence global governance, they will not necessarily achieve what advocates hope for. Throughout the discussion, it appears that the weaknesses of the concept of "climate migration" are likely to be utilized in favour of repressive policies against migration or for the defence of industrial nations against perceived threats from the Third World.This discerning book explores new paradoxes in political advocacy and relates them to some of the greatest challenges to contemporary global governance. It will be of great interest to researchers and postgraduate students interested in climate migration, climate change and the law, or anyone involved in advocacy around these important issues.Trade Review'The book addresses the very timely and controversial concept of climate migrants. With great skill and thoroughness, Mayer discloses the ambivalence that lies in this concept: It may foster desirable developments as well as undesirable ones, depending on the way it is being used in political advocacy. The danger is that the concept of climate migrants could heighten the general anxiety about climate change and be detrimental to causes such as human rights protection and climate change responsibility. Yet, it could facilitate stronger international cooperation, international assistance and solidarity. (The concept of ''climate migrants'' carries with it an understanding of complex, global interdependence and arguments for states to not ignore the protection of vulnerable peoples outside their jurisdiction. Moreover, the concept might also contribute to a greater understanding of states' responsibility under international law to drastically reduce their excessive greenhouse gas emissions.)All in all, the book sheds light on one of the major challenges that today's system of global governance faces: the inertia to address collective issues in a cooperative and effective manner. The solution to this challenge may lie beyond the scope of this book, but it certainly is an important step in analysing the underlying legal and political dimensions and constrains to providing such solution.' --Christina Voigt, University of Oslo, Norway'Professor Mayer clearly and persuasively argues that . . . the effects of climate change on migration cannot and should not be addressed in isolation from broader concerns over migrant welfare and environmental protection. His insightful, interdisciplinary book requires us to rethink our assumptions about the relationship of climate change and migration, and provides a strong platform for future scholarship and policy.' --John H. Knox, UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and the Environment and Wake Forest University'With stories about migration and climate change making daily headlines, Benoît Mayer's insightful analysis of the concept of ''climate migration'' is particularly timely. Mayer's careful and critical deconstruction of the concept offers a fresh scholarly perspective on how the challenges of migration and climate change are intertwined. Its clear guidance on how the elusive concept can be used in political advocacy should put the book on the reading list of anyone concerned with tackling two of the most important global challenges of this day and age in conjunction.' --Harro van Asselt, University of Eastern FinlandTable of ContentsContents: Introduction 1.

Book SynopsisThis timely book assesses national and supranational bilateral approaches to dealing with the rising tide of migration into the European Union via the Mediterranean Sea. International law and EU migration law specialists critically assess the legal tools adopted to engage with the 'refugee crisis'. While the EU works to develop a unified approach to Mediterranean transit and origin countries, the authors argue that a crucial role should be accorded to individual states in finding a solution to this complex and sensitive situation. Historical and political factors playing into migration strategies are discussed, and the legal framework underpinning the bilateral and regional schemes on which the northern and southern shores of the Mediterranean seek to cooperate on migration is also examined. Migration-related issues, such as search and rescue at sea, human rights and policing are explored throughout the book. Comparing the bilateral arrangements Southern EU Member States have made with the Mediterranean countries of origin and the regional bilateralism conducted by the EU, expert authors assess how best to achieve a coherent model. This will be an essential read for academics and scholars in international and European migration law, environmental politics and policy; practitioners and policymakers working on migration issues, and NGOs.

Book Synopsis'Like the city, the nation, life itself, migration has become increasingly diverse. This stimulating, multi-disciplinary edited collection looks at questions about the connections between time, space and migration at a variety of scales and across a range of sites. Rhythms, patterns and scales of permanent, cyclical and temporary migration are explored in fascinating detail, providing new insights into an increasingly important phenomenon in a globalising world. This collection will reset the agenda for migration studies.'- Linda McDowell, University of Oxford, UKSeeking to re-energise debates on the relationship between human mobility and timespace, this book furthers our understanding of how people move by foregrounding both time and space in the analysis of different empirical migration stories. Though migration is often seen as inherently spatial, the way space is being imagined is rarely analysed, whilst questions of time are widely neglected by migration scholars. Here, in contrast, the idea of timespace is used to assert the significance and connections of these two dimensions. The focus is on how timespace intersects with dynamic migrant constructions, negotiations and performances as an integral aspect of the rhythms of mobilities. Highlighting migration journeys and emotions as embedded and embodied in everyday lives, the chapters also examine the intricate and complex ways timespace enters into, and is juxtaposed with, such feelings and practices in different spaces. Migrations and mobilities are not seen as one-off, separate processes, suspended in timespace, but rather need to be theorised and analysed in more innovative and malleable ways which take into account the non-linear, non-teleological, ambivalent, irrational, messy and fluid ways in which people move. Individual chapters engage with these concepts by considering a broad spectrum of migration stories, from youth mobility, to refugee migration, to gentrification, to food and to the political geography of the border. The overall aim of the book is to interrupt and challenge the ways in which migration scholars use time and space within their research.Contributors include: E. Ascensão, J. Carling, A. Christou, F. Collins, M.B. Erdal, M. Griffiths, A. Ma, E. Mavroudi, J. McGarrigle, P. Novak, B. Page, S. Shubin, D. Smith, H. ZabanTrade Review'This is an excellent collection of essays that investigates the temporal complexity of migration, providing new insights on migrants' social worlds, their subjectivity and the affective and embodied dimensions of migration. The contributors debate the experiential aspects of time by drawing on empirically based and conceptually ambitious research. It will be required reading for researchers interested in time, space and the conjoined relationship between the two concepts.' --Elaine Lynn-Ee Ho, National University of Singapore'Time is indissolubly inscribed into the socio-political constructions and personal experiences of migration and (im)mobility, yet the temporalities and rhythms of migration have rarely been comprehensively analysed. This book, with its fascinating range of case studies, makes a significant contribution to rectifying this oversight. Exemplifying a variety of theoretical and methodological stances, the chapters illustrate the rich potential of a more explicit engagement with time when considering the ''timespace-ness'' of migration.' --Russell King, University of Sussex, UK'This is a genuinely groundbreaking collection. It does not simply start to fill a gap in the study of migration, but it opens up new ways of analysing and researching mobilities. Undergraduates and experienced scholars alike will find much here to think with, and it is also a fascinating route in to the study of migration for social scientists.' --Bridget Anderson, University of Oxford, UKTable of ContentsContents: Foreword by Darren Smith 1.

Book SynopsisThe author examines the relationships between immigration policy, observed immigration patterns, and cultural differences between the United States and immigrants? source countries. The entirety of U.S. immigration history (1607-present) is reviewed through a recounting of related legislative acts and by examining data on immigrant inflows and cross-societal cultural distances. Prior to the Immigration Act of 1965, U.S. policy favored immigration from Europe, particularly Northern and Western Europe. Thus, American culture became similar to the cultures of European societies and of Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Changes in U.S. immigration policy during the past half century have resulted in American culture becoming more similar to the cultures of more recent arrivals? source countries (i.e., societies in Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa). Tests for structural breaks in the immigrant inflow series and descriptive analysis of the cultural differences between the U.S. and several cohorts of countries reveal fascinating details about this transformation. Population projections for the years 2015-2065 suggest continued cultural change. Corresponding policy implications are discussed.This book is a key resource for faculty, researchers and students along with policymakers, non-academics interested in immigration policy and its history, and readers interested in migration studies, global studies, and cultural studies.Table of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Book SynopsisEurope has talked itself into a refugee and security crisis. There is, however, a misrecognition of the real challenge facing Europe: the challenge of managing the relationship between Europeans and the currently stigmatized 'others' which it has attracted. Making the case against a 'Europe of walls', Robin Wilson instead proposes a refounding of Europe built on the power of diversity and an ethos of hospitality rather than an institutional thicket serving the market. Providing a robust critique of the moral panic surrounding migrants and security dominating the European public sphere, this book explains why old models for managing cultural diversity in Europe no longer work, and why their obsolescence has led to morbid symptoms. Incorporating discussion of the eurozone crisis and the associated insecurity and the rise of xenophobic populists, Wilson provides an insider account of how the Council of Europe has, over a decade and a half, developed a new paradigm of intercultural integration. He builds theory into this model, drawing on work on cosmopolitanism in the social sciences, also emphasizing the empirical validity of the approach. With its handling of critical issues currently facing Europe, this book is of interest not only to academics across the social sciences, undergraduate students of politics and sociology and postgraduate students of cultural and European studies, but also to policy-makers and NGO practitioners.Trade Review'In an extremely well-documented and surgically analytical volume, Robin Wilson charts the fall of Europe as a moral beacon of the free world during the 2015 ''refugee crisis'' and its aftermath. But he also raises hope amidst the gloom. A new paradigm of integration conjoining equality, diversity and inclusion is being embraced by a growing coalition of (mostly local) leaders. Wilson convincingly shows that intercultural integration is a win for both solidarity and prosperity. Is it also the early sign of a new liberal consensus to the assorted economic, environmental and geopolitical crises in the age of human mobility?' --Irena Guidikova, Head of Inclusion and Anti-discrimination Programmes, Council of EuropeTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Book SynopsisElgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary. International migration has emerged as one of the most pressing issues faced by national and regional governments in our modern world. This Research Agenda provides much-needed discussion on the health of migrants, and fundamental research directions for the future. The editors draw together key contributions that address people with a range of immigration statuses, including refugees. Written by leading experts in the field, chapters explore the evolving nature of health, from how this is experienced by migrants in their countries of origin, to the impact of the immigrant journey and experiences in their country of residence. Topical and timely, the Research Agenda offers key insights into previously underdeveloped areas of study, including an analysis of female migrants, a discussion of immigration relative to the Global South, and the relationship between climate change, migration and health. An important read for human geography scholars, this will be particularly useful for those looking into population and health geography and demography. It will also be beneficial to sociology and anthropology scholars interested in immigration and health. Contributors include: A.T. Banerjee, V. Chouinard, X. Deng, S. Gal, S. Gravel, J. Hanley, J. Hennebry, L. Hunter, A. Kobayashi, J.-H. Koo, L. Malhaire, K.B. Newbold, J.-A. Osei-Twum, S. Park, D.H. Simon, K. Stelfox, M. Walton-Roberts, L. Wang, K. WilsonTrade Review‘The various essays provide some innovative exploration of the migration-health nexus. As such, the book promises to be inspirational for scholars of geography, public health and related fields. Graduate students who seek to get oriented in this truly complex field and to identify salient research questions will undoubtedly benefit from perusing the essays of this volume.’ -- Brigitte Waldorf, Regional Science Policy and Practice‘A timely contribution to the field of migration and health, and a valuable resource for researchers seeking to explore newer questions. The nine chapters in this book offer diverse perspectives on themes such as inequity and discrimination in access to healthcare, gender, cultural safety, food security, disability and climate change as experienced by immigrants from countries in the Global South. The authors challenge and demystify pre-existing frameworks on migrant health, seek to broaden the theoretical and methodological scope of the field and provide a research agenda for future work.’ -- Divya Ravindranath, Progress in Development Studies‘It is a valuable resource for those seeking to refine their research questions and as a means to draw parallels across work on migration and health. While focused on international migration, the questions and approaches outlined are relevant to research on internal migration, and there is significant space to better articulate the connections between internal migration, international migration, and health.’ -- Frances Darlington-Pollock, Geographical Research'Bruce Newbold and Kathi Wilson are both health geographers with a strong legacy; this edited volume on which they have partnered is no exception. As they state in their opening chapter, the health of an immigrant is shaped by the immigration journey and the factors precipitating it (forced versus voluntary; economic, social, cultural, environmental push and pull factors…). What Newbold and Wilson have done with this edited volume is bring the immigrant health literature into the 21st Century by bringing heretofore invisible issues to the forefront: gender; climate change; inequalities in the global south. Their section on future research directions takes us even further through suggestions for alternative theoretical and epistemological approaches to the growing issues of immigration and immigrant health.' --Susan J Elliot, University of Waterloo, Canada'Tapping into the expertise from scholars in geography, international affairs, nursing, psychiatry, public health, social service and social work, A Research Agenda for Migration and Health fills a gap in migration studies by foregrounding climate change, gender/race and health, health status, health care, nutrition and their impacts.' --Wei Li, Arizona State University, USTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisThis Handbook discusses theoretical approaches to migration studies in general, as well as confronting various issues in international migration from a distinctive and unique international political economy perspective. With a focus on the relation between globalization and migration, the international political economy (IPE) theories of migration are systematically addressed.Original new contributions from leading migration scholars offer a complete overview of international migration. They examine migration as part of a global political economy whilst addressing the theoretical debates relating to the capacity of the state to control international migration and the so called 'policy gap' or 'gap hypothesis' between migration policies and their outcomes. An examination of the relationship between regional integration and migration, with examples from Europe, North America, the Middle East and North Africa, as well as South-East Asia - is also included.Aimed at political scientists and political economists with an interest in globalization and EU policymaking this collection will be accessible to students, academic and policymakers alike.Contributors: R.G.

Book SynopsisAn Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library.Moving Histories is an original and enlightening book which details the lives of women who left Ireland after independence. Drawing on a wide range of archival material, this book traces new narratives to bring original insights into the migration of thousands of Irish women in the twentieth century. Despite having a strong tendency to leave Ireland like men, women’s migration to Britain has been less well studied. Yet Irish women could be found in all walks of life in Britain, from the more familiar fields of nursing and domestic service to teaching, factory work and more. This fascinating study also considers the public commentary made about Irish women from the pulpit, press and politicians, who thought the women to be flighty, in need of guidance and prone to moral failures away from home. The repeated coverage of the ‘emigrant girl’ in government memos and journals gave the impression Irish women were leaving for reasons other than employment. Moving Histories argues that the continued focus on Irish unmarried mothers in Britain was based on genuine concerns and a real problem, but such women were not representative. They were, rather, an indictment of the conservative socio-cultural environment of an Ireland that suppressed open discourse of sexuality and forced women to ‘hide their shame’ in institutions at home and abroad.Trade ReviewReviews'A wealth of new material about an under-researched period of Irish women’s history.' Professor Bronwen Walter, Anglia Ruskin University‘The book shows Irish female emigrants to Britain as more empowered than previously depicted; it is well argued with hard facts and statistical evidence. It is important that this book is read outside academia and the feminisation of Irish history cannot alone be the work of feminist historians.’ Sinead McCoole, The Irish Times‘The only dedicated – and most exhaustive – account of Irish women emigrating to the UK.’ Colin Gannon, The Irish World'An important contribution to the history of Irish women emigrants.’ Bernadette Hyland, Morning Star‘[Redmond’s] democratic approach to a variety of sources and her willingness to read with and against the grain reflects her commitment to the centring of women and their experiences. Their centrality is what makes the book so persuasive.’ Senia Pašeta, Irish Historical Studies'Moving Histories is an important contribution to the history of Irish women emigrants in the UK.'lipstick socialist"In a well-researched and stimulating study, Redmond places Irish female migration at the center of the story of Irish emigration to Britain in the first half of the twentieth century and seeks “to demystify the female experience of migration to Britain”. She succeeds admirably in this goal."Michael Silvestri, Journal of British Studies

Book Synopsis'This work has come at an important time in the wake of the so-called Arab spring when the fluctuating patterns of state-citizen relations were rethought with varying success. Looking at citizenship in the region from multi-disciplinary and content related perspectives, this collection of essays discusses the variety of ways in which citizenship operates - and is thought about - in the contemporary Middle East and beyond. In looking at the contested dimensions of citizenship, this book is an important and timely work for anyone interested in the processes by which what it means to be a citizen is made and remade.'- Rachel M. Scott, Virginia Tech, USThe Middle East is currently undergoing its most dramatic transition since World War I. The political order, both within individual countries and on the regional level, has been in turmoil ever since the Arab Uprisings in 2011. Analysts are struggling to identify conceptual frameworks that capture the complex nature of the developments that we observe.The Middle East in Transition demonstrates how citizenship understood as a social contract between citizens and the state is a key factor in current political crises in the region. The book analyzes three distinct dimensions of citizenship in the Middle East: the development of citizenship in specific countries, including Morocco, Israel Turkey and Iraq; Islam and the writings of twentieth-century Islamic thinkers; and the international dimension of citizenship, particularly regarding EU policies towards the region and the rights of Syrian refugees.This timely book provides a comprehensive insight into the current implications of the changing relationships between the citizen and the state in the Middle East. Discussing the topic with clarity and detail, it will be essential reading not only for researchers but also for policy makers and government officials. Contributors include: S. Ahmadou, Z. Alsabeehg, Z. Babar, S.I. Bergh, N.A. Butenschøn, L.C. Frost, B. Ince, M. Kanie, R. Meijer, V.M. Moghadam, Z. Pall, S. Saeidi, R.H. Santini, P. Seeberg, M.M. ShteiwiTrade Review'Citizenship is the vital missing link between rulers and ruled in the Middle East. Precisely because it has been inadequately developed in the region's constitutions, laws and practices, it has been afforded insufficient scholarly attention. This volume brilliantly addresses that deficiency by contextualizing Middle Eastern citizenship theoretically, historically, in contemporary socio-political and religious settings across the region, and as regards the Middle East's relationships with external actors. One of its general findings is that never having been adequately established, citizenship in the Middle East has come under renewed threat in the wake of the Arab uprisings of 2011. This impressive work merits wide readership.' --Robert Springborg, the Italian Institute of International Affairs, Italy'This timely book makes a strong case for how our analyses of such critical issues as political Islam, the impact of neoliberalism, and authoritarian resilience may be significantly enhanced through a careful focus on the changing definitions, roles and practices of citizenship in the Middle East. Whether wrested as the result of struggles from below or decreed from above, the forms of inclusion and exclusion explored in this welcome addition to the literature will continue to define critical aspects of the region's socio-economic and political trajectories for the foreseeable future.' --Laurie A. Brand, University of Southern California, US'This collection of chapters on changes in the post-Arab Spring is not just another book on the transformative forces unleashed since 2011. Butenschon and Meijer need to be commended for bringing together convincing arguments about the centrality of citizenship in understanding these changes, and the concerns and the struggles of the people in the Middle East. This is a powerful, analytically groundbreaking, and vast collection of works in a constantly evolving field of study.' --James N.

Book SynopsisReflecting on three decades of post-conflict recovery in the Balkans, this incisive book investigates the long-term effects of war displacement on women across Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Kosovo.Selma Porobić and Brad K. Blitz draw upon four different research streams produced by a large, cross-national, and multidisciplinary team of contributors to compare the experiences of different categories of war-uprooted and/or women forced migrants. Providing a gender-inclusive focus on psychosocial wellbeing, chapters consider the long-term impacts of complex trauma on internally displaced persons, returnees, and refugees throughout the whole cycle of displacement, return, and reintegration. Uncovering alarming risk and protective factors linked to protracted political and socioeconomic instability in the region, the book ultimately offers lessons for a wider post-war recovery framework that prioritises women’s agency, psychosocial health, and trans-generational recovery.Featuring interdisciplinary, cross-country, and multi-methods research, this insightful book will prove an invaluable resource to students and scholars of psychology, sociology, migration, gender, and human rights law. Its critical assessment of durable solutions for displaced populations will also benefit practitioners focused on peace building, humanitarianism, and development.Trade Review‘Forced Migration, Gender and Wellbeing is a brave and much-needed study of the long term effects of the violent breakup of Yugoslavia in 1992. In the intervening years there are no longer any refugees, only unresolved traumatic experiences, problems of identity and self esteem and issues with gender equality. This is a much-needed work on understanding how the lived experience of violence and displacement impacted the wellbeing of men and women alike in Kosovo, Bosnia, and Serbia.’ -- Dawn Chatty, University of Oxford, UK‘The 1990s wars of Yugoslav succession have resulted in enormous human casualties and millions of displaced people. There are many general studies of this conflict, but we still lack in-depth knowledge on the gender dimension of forced migration.

Book SynopsisThe Maastricht Treaty of 1992 introduced the right to free movement for EU citizens. Despite this, in practice there are still substantial barriers to securing these freedoms. EU Citizenship and Social Rights discusses and analyses those legal and practical barriers preventing inter-European migrants from integrating into new host countries. Providing analysis of the development of EU social policy, this book highlights the disparate roles of the EU as a whole and of Member States in determining social rights and outcomes. In particular the issues of social assistance, housing benefits, study grants and health care are examined. In addition, the authors discuss the discrepancy between the social rights granted to workers and social rights granted to non-worker migrants, as well as the barriers facing minority groups like the Roma, which highlight issues in the development of EU social policy for migrants. This book will be a vital resource for students of European law as well as public and social policy. EU policy makers will also benefit from reading this, with its practical and theoretical suggestions for ways in which social policies may be amended to the benefit of EU citizens.Contributors include:; N.

Book Synopsis'This timely book offers not only richly textured studies of European trade union responses to the influx of immigrant workers across the continent, but also an insightful comparative analysis. Building on an earlier volume that the editors published at the turn of the 21st century, this one focuses on the new challenges posed by growing economic globalization, trade union decline, and the surge of xenophobia among European workers. It deserves a prominent spot on the bookshelf of anyone interested in labor movements and migration, not only in Europe but worldwide.'- Ruth Milkman, The Graduate Center, City University of New York'Trade Unions and Migrant Workers updates the classic ''three-dilemmas'' thesis of Penninx and Roosblad, demonstrating its continuing relevance in today's shifting migration context. Drawing on national case studies of union responses to labour migration, it shows that while the balance of power and incentive structures unions face have shifted, the fundamental strategic dilemmas posed to unions by labour migration remain the same. This book will be a go-to citation for me in the coming years.'- Nathan Lillie, University of Jyvaskyla, Finland This timely book analyzes the relationship between trade unions, immigration and migrant workers across eleven European countries in the period between the 1990s and 2015. It constitutes an extensive update of a previous comparative analysis - published by Rinus Penninx and Judith Roosblad in 2000 - that has become an important reference in the field. The book offers an overview of how trade unions manage issues of inclusion and solidarity in the current economic and political context, characterized by increasing challenges for labour organizations and rising hostility towards migrants. The qualitative analysis of trade union strategies towards immigration and migrant workers is based on a common analytical framework centred on the idea of 'dilemmas' that trade unions have to face when dealing with immigration and migrant workers. This approach facilitates comparative analysis and distinguishes patterns of union policies and actions across three groups of countries, identifying some explanations for observed similarities and differences. In addition, the book also includes theoretical chapters by expert scholars from a range of disciplinary fields including industrial relations, migration studies and political economy. This comprehensive comparative analysis is an essential resource for academics across a range of disciplines as well as policy-makers, practitioners and organizations involved in trade unions and migrant inclusion and integration.Contributors include: M.

Neergaard, R. Penninx, M. Rinaldini, J. Roosblad, B. Sellers, T. Vitale, I. Wagner, C. WoolfsonTrade Review'This work provides a relevant comparative and detailed description of how the early slogan ''Proletarians of all countries, unite!'' (Karl Marx, 1848) has been put into practice in Europe in the 21st century. This presented a huge challenge for the (re)construction of worker solidarity and the organized defence of social rights. This book sheds important light on how further European social construction could progress.' --Albert Martens, KU Leuven, Belgium'The labour market integration of migrant workers and of workers with a migration background is an increasingly sensitive puzzle for employment services, employers, and especially politicians across Europe. In this puzzle, trade unions have an enormous role, which is too often neglected and which varies across countries, issues and time. This book by an impressive team of experts provides a long needed systematic and sympathetic analysis and will be the central reference for both research and policy debates for years to come.' --Guglielmo Meardi, University of Warwick, UK'In recent years, immigration has posed major political and economic challenges for western societies. Whether and how to integrate or restrict immigrant workers is a burning question for politicians and activists across the spectrum. Of particular importance are the attitudes of trade unions, organizations well situated either to exclude or to craft strategies of inclusion. In this fine book, experienced researchers offer a comprehensive study of contrasting union approaches across eleven European countries. Findings are informative, surprising, and couldn't be more timely.' --Lowell Turner, Cornell University, USTable of ContentsContents: Foreword by Done-One Kim Foreword by Moussa Oumarou and Manuela Tomei 1.

Book SynopsisRegional integration plays an important role in the advance of economic and social development across many parts of the world. Generating growth and expanding markets, it boosts productivity through the exchange of ideas, technologies, and human resources. This book explores the key vision of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN): fostering the free flow of goods, services, investment, and skilled labor in order to establish a globally competitive region with a single market and production base. Bringing together contributions from renowned scholars in their respective fields, this book takes stock of the trends and patterns of skilled labor migration in the ASEAN, examining the existing literature and adding to it with unique insights drawn from original case studies and policy simulations. Identifying the challenges posed by recent significant changes, this book also looks to the future, to identify potential policy responses. The contributions dispel a common assumption that skill mobility is a zero-sum game, and instead contend that it can be mutually beneficial for both sides. With rigorous quantitative analysis, this book will be a useful tool for both policy practitioners and policymakers as well as for researchers and students of international development, economics, and Asian studies.Trade Review‘This book is highly informative on both theoretical and policy fronts, thereby offering a valuable tool for policymakers as well as researchers or students who are interested in international economic development of Asian economies.’ -- Hai Anh La, Asian-Pacific Economic LiteratureTable of ContentsContents: Foreword Preface 1.

Book SynopsisLudger Pries explores the important moral, social and political challenge facing Europe and the international community: the protection of refugees as one of the most vulnerable groups on the planet.Combining an in-depth analysis of current research, own empirical studies in several European countries, and a critical review of the policies of nation states as well as international and transnational organizations, the author analyses the 2015 so-called refugee crisis and its continuing impact. Who are the refugees, how and why did they come? Which parts of civil society were actively involved and why? What are the future responsibilities of the state for arriving refugees and their successful integration? This book examines the limitations of structural settings with perspectives on collective actors’ behaviour and strategies. Offering a critical view on the historical embedding of the refugee issue, as well as the current and future challenges for Europe, Pries provides an insightful overview of all aspects of the so-called European refugee crisis and its aftermath. Refugees, Civil Society and the State merges perspectives from political science and international relations with international humanitarian law, the sociology of migration and action theory. Scholars, journalists and political actors who want to further understand the ongoing challenge of refugee protection will greatly benefit from the distinguished author’s research.Trade Review'Ludger Pries uses three dyads to provide a sophisticated examination of the ''refugee crisis'' of 2015: the global dynamics of migration vs methodological nationalism, the evolution of European legal asylum instruments vs ''organized non-responsibility'' on the part of some political leaders and, finally, internationalist solidarity movements vs right-wing populism. The result is an insightful analysis of events hitherto obscured by sensationalist headlines.' --Robin Cohen, University of Oxford, UK'Ludger Pries shows how refugee flows are a symptom of a new transnational social question, revealing the weakness of the Common European Asylum framework, which has degenerated into a system of ''organised non-responsibility''. In global terms, the United Nations' refugee protection is breaking down, making new approaches essential. Pries' institutional sociology approach points to possible ways forward, based on involvement of civil society and social movements, and strategies to reduce inequality within and between nations.' --Stephen Castles, University of Sydney, AustraliaTable of ContentsContents 1.

Book SynopsisThis innovative Handbook sets out a conceptual and analytical framework for the critical appraisal of migration governance. Global and interdisciplinary in scope, the chapters are organised across six key themes: conceptual debates; categorisations of migration; governance regimes; processes; spaces of migration governance; and mobilisations around it. Leading international contributors critically assess categorisations and conceptualisations of migration to address theoretical concerns including transnationalism and de-colonisation, climate change, development, humanitarianism, bordering, technologies and the role of time. They closely examine practices of migration governance and politics, and their effects, across diverse spaces, processes and forms of mobilisation. They draw on up-to-date examples from across the globe in order to examine how migrants, whether forced or voluntary, are governed. Reviewing the latest developments in migration governance research through empirically rich and conceptually concise appraisals, the Handbook problematises orthodox perspectives and discusses how a critical reading can add to our understanding of the governance and politics of migration.This Handbook is an invaluable resource for scholars and students of migration, human rights and public policy. Its interdisciplinary approach and wide range of empirical examples will also be useful for policy makers in these fields.Trade Review‘This Handbook is an interesting and well-structured read for those wanting to become acquainted with the field of migration theory. Both experienced researchers and students at the beginning of their journey in the field of migration studies and adjacent disciplines can benefit from this publication. The chapters of this book provide insightful reading material for introduction courses about migration governance or migration more general.’ -- Lara Wilhelmine Hoffmann, Nordicum-Mediterraneum‘Migration is one of the most contentious political issues globally today. This volume provides an excellent route-map of how to understand, analyse and politicise beyond the binaries through which these contentions are staged by exploring how it is governed. A must-read for those researching the politics of mobility.’ -- Parvati Raghuram, The Open University, UK‘An important and critical Handbook that unpacks what is behind the governance of migration. Countering the depoliticization of migration discourses and policies, this book provides a comprehensive account of the processes and institutions involved, the spaces where governance happens, and the tensions and contradictions within it. This Handbook is a valuable companion to students and researchers and to the interested citizen.’ -- Anna Triandafyllidou, Toronto Metropolitan University, Canada'A great line up of contributors provide rich, informative, engaged and engaging analyses of how governance systems play a key role in shaping migration: through their operation and effects, their inclusion and omissions, and the ways in which we understand it as a social and political challenge. It is a testament to the editors and contributors that they have put together such an inspiring collection of essays that expertly synthesise existing debates while setting agendas for future research.' -- Andrew Geddes, European University Institute, ItalyTable of ContentsContents: 1 The governance and politics of migration: a conceptual-analytical map 1 Emma Carmel, Katharina Lenner and Regine Paul PART I CONCEPTUALISING THE POLITICS AND GOVERNANCE OF MIGRATION 2 Postcolonial perspectives on migration governance 25 Lucy Mayblin 3 Nationhood and citizenship: from producing states to enacting rights 36 Flávia Rodrigues de Castro and Carolina Moulin 4 Transnationalism and diaspora as epistemology and practice 47 Carolin Fischer 5 The politics of conceptualizing border/security 60 Karolina Follis 6 Rethinking migration and development as a hegemonic project 73 Lama Kabbanji 7 Climate migration between conflictive discourses and empirical realities 86 Ingrid Boas and Hanne Wiegel 8 Humanitarianism in principle and practice 98 Jason Hart 9 Beyond the dichotomy of liberal and illiberal migration governance 110 Katharina Natter PART II THE POLITICS OF CATEGORISING MIGRATION 10 Unsettling the boundaries between forced and voluntary migration 124 Oliver Bakewell 11 The construction and contestation of illegality 137 Vicki Squire 12 Trafficking as the moral filter of migration control 148 Cameron Thibos and Neil Howard 13 Co-constructions of family and belonging in the politics of family migration 161 Saskia Bonjour and Laura Cleton 14 Deconstructing skills in the stratification of migration governance 173 Huw Vasey PART III INSTITUTIONS AND REGIMES OF MIGRATION GOVERNANCE 15 Towards a relational perspective on border regimes 185 Prem Kumar Rajaram 16 The limits of the ‘global refugee regime’ 195 Heaven Crawley and Mary Setrana 17 Pitfalls, ambivalences and contestations of ‘migration management’ 206 Antoine Pécoud 18 Global value chains, production regimes and the governance of migrant workers 218 Shamel Azmeh 19 National states in the governance of mobilities 229 Nora El Qadim PART IV SPACES OF MIGRATION GOVERNANCE 20 The migration route as governance 242 William Walters 21 Migration, governance, and the co-production of urban spaces 254 An Van Raemdonck and Fran Meissner 22 Reconsidering migration dynamics within diverse rural spaces 267 Lydia Medland 23 Governing, experiencing and contesting camps and encampment 279 Lewis Turner 24 Political economy, law and the regulation of migrantsʼ workplaces 291 Tesseltje de Lange, Lisa Berntsen and Pedro de Sena 25 Homes as workplaces at the intersection of migration, care and gender regimes 304 Sabrina Marchetti and Anna di Bartolomeo PART V PROCESSES AND PRACTICES OF MIGRATION GOVERNANCE 26 Interrogating time and temporality in migration governance 316 Melanie Griffiths 27 Technology, knowledge and the governing of migration 329 Julien Jeandesboz 28 Governing migration by other means: criminalization, crimmigration, or legal pluralism? 341 David Moffette 29 Situating deportation and expulsion in migration governance 354 Annika Lindberg and Shahram Khosravi PART VI CONTESTING MIGRATION GOVERNANCE 30 Reconceptualizing and de-nationalizing repertoires of migrant political activism 367 Ilker Ataç and Helen Schwenken 31 Contesting migration governance through legal mobilization 380 Leila Kawar 32 Solidarities and disjunctures in the (global) mobilization of migrant workers 391 Nicola Piper 33 Nativist politics and the mobilization of anti-immigrant discourses 404 Aitana Guia Index

Book SynopsisThis comprehensive Research Handbook provides insights into entrepreneurship across a range of country contexts, migration corridors and national policies to provide a collection of conceptual, empirical and policy-focused findings addressing transnational diaspora entrepreneurship. Chapters illustrate the phenomenon, considering what it is, how it works and how it is regulated.Contributions from top scholars in the field underline the view that transnational diaspora entrepreneurship is a socio-cultural as well as an economic phenomenon of increasing worldwide relevance in shifting economic, technological and political landscapes. Conceptual and methodological developments are presented from multiple perspectives, embedding unique country- and- context-based empirical research. Split into four key thematic sections, this Research Handbook first provides readers with an overview of the topic, before delving into country-specific case studies, migration corridors and their impacts, and then finally exploring the policy implications.Entrepreneurship scholars and students—particularly those with a focus on global entrepreneurship, diasporas, migration and international entrepreneurship—will find this a timely and important read. It will also be of value to administrators of entrepreneurial and migration programs, business developers, investment and startup agencies, diaspora organisations, NGOs and think-tanks.Trade Review‘This Handbook mirrors the transnational innovation phenomenon that it studies: The tome shares data and perspectives crafted by scholars from around the world, whose ideas have been honed through transnational experience and interaction, resulting in novel and impactful outcomes. The compilation of this foundational knowledge in one place is game-changing.’ -- Dr. Liesl Riddle, Dean, The George Washington University, US‘This book offers a comprehensive analysis of transnational diaspora entrepreneurship, its impact on the economies of the home and host countries and its challenges. It is a great Handbook for international entrepreneurship scholars, but also for the governments, international institutions and other organizations engaged in the promotion of transnational activities of diaspora entrepreneurs.’ -- Elie Chrysostome, Ivey Business School, Canada‘The Research Handbook on Transnational Disapora Entrepreneurship presents a comprehensive and contemporary view of one of the most pressing issues facing our global economies: immigration and its potential economic and entrepreneurial implications. The Handbook effectively asks how various ecosystems might be adapting (or effectively adapt, by implicit comparison) to the growing numbers of immigrants and return migrants globally. Never before has such a diverse and extensive compendium focusing on this important subject been assembled – and as an active researcher, I find it a particular pleasure to see such high quality and comprehensive material in one convenient location.’ -- Benson Honig, McMaster University, CanadaTable of ContentsContents: Preface x 1 Introduction: relevance of transnational diaspora entrepreneurship and the motivation and structure of the Research Handbook 1 Rolf Sternberg, José Ernesto Amorós, Maria Elo and Jonathan Levie PART I CONCEPTUAL OVERVIEW OF TDE 2 Transnational diaspora entrepreneurship as a sub-field of international entrepreneurship: observations and conceptual remarks 18 Maria Elo and Léo-Paul Dana 3 Quantitative measurement of a rare event: transnational diaspora entrepreneurship data through GEM methodology 37 Johannes von Bloh PART II COUNTRY CASE STUDIES 4 Germany: the relevance, extent and structure of transnational diaspora entrepreneurship 56 Rolf Sternberg 5 Bulgaria: the relevance and impact of transnational diaspora in technology-driven entrepreneurship 86 Veneta Andonova, Stela Gavrilova, Jonathan Pérez, Jana Schmutzler and Mira Krusteff 6 Transnational diaspora entrepreneurship (TDE): the case of Puerto Rico 109 Marinés Aponte, Marta Álvarez and Manuel Lobato 7 Start-up nation Israel: transnational entrepreneurs, born globals and cross-border connections of the Israeli high-tech industry 128 Susann Schäfer and Sebastian Henn PART III MIGRATION CORRIDORS AND THEIR EFFECT ON THE HOME AND DESTINATION COUNTRIES 8 How refugee entrepreneurs improvise: bricolage in an emerging economy 146 Dilek Zamantili Nayir, Mehmet Eryilmaz and Ali Ayci 9 The socio-economic impact of transnational diaspora entrepreneurship: an investigation of UK-based African Caribbean entrepreneurial diaspora on the Caribbean 176 Lorna Jones, Indianna D.

Book SynopsisThe growing salience of migration in today's political and economic climate has drawn attention to the relevance of regional responses to global human mobility. This unique book explores the dynamics of migration governance beyond the traditional perspective of the state and examines why, how and with what effects states cooperate at a regional level on aspects of international migration and mobility. Developing an innovative approach centered on the organisation of migration governance, The Dynamics of Regional Migration Governance provides a comparative analysis of developments in regional and sub-regional migration governance on a truly global scale. From Africa, Asia-Pacific and Central Asia, to Europe, the Middle East and North and South America, leading scholars offer a fresh understanding of the trajectories and particularities of regional migration governance. These engaging chapters show how human mobility and its governance can create tensions between states that hinder or prevent cooperation. Providing a much-needed shift from a focus on governance outputs to governance processes, this compelling book highlights how regional practices, processes and structures of migration governance can play an active role in producing understandings of international migration as a social and political issue. Deploying geographical scope, conceptual insight and empirical depth, this comprehensive book is ideal for advanced students, as well as scholars investigating regionalism, migration and mobility. An acutely relevant work, it will also appeal to professional practitioners and policymakers working in international migration 'This is a unique and forward-looking book that looks at regional migration governance from a dynamic and multi-level perspective beyond formal regional institutions, focusing also on non-state actors. This collection is also unique in that it covers a number of world regions including Asia and Latin America and not just the usual suspects of EU and North America. I strongly recommend this work to students and scholars and, why not, practitioners working in the area of governance, migration, and international relations.' - Anna Trandafyllidou, European University Institute, ItalyTrade Review'This collection includes contributions from some of the most important scholars working in the area of migration studies. The focus is especially timely, given the crises within the European and American systems but equally this book does not shy away from exposing the varying degrees of power and influence within regions and where institutions still fall far short of their mission to govern migration flows. This ambitious collection offers an original mix of countries and institutions rarely found in one volume. It is fresh, analytically rich, and above all a most useful reference point for students and scholars alike.' --Brad Blitz, Middlesex University, UK'This volume offers the first systematic attempt to analyse the role of regional groupings in the area of migration, offering a compelling framework for comparative analysis of the structures and processes of governing migration. It makes a vital step in scoping and framing a new research agenda on regional migration governance.' --Christina Boswell, University of Edinburgh, UK'The regional features of migration patterns and processes have long been important for scholars and policymakers in understanding migration trends, impacts and trajectories, as well as migration possibilities. Critical analysis of regional migration governance has been more muted. Coming right on the eve of the implementation phase of the Global Compact on Migration, this book guides us through variations and particularities in regional migration governance globally. It will certainly become a go-to resource for researchers, policymakers and practitioners alike.' --Marie McAuliffe, Australian National University and the International Organization for Migration, SwitzerlandTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisAn Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library.Moving Histories is an original and enlightening book which details the lives of women who left Ireland after independence. Drawing on a wide range of archival material, this book traces new narratives to bring original insights into the migration of thousands of Irish women in the twentieth century. Despite having a strong tendency to leave Ireland like men, women’s migration to Britain has been less well studied. Yet Irish women could be found in all walks of life in Britain, from the more familiar fields of nursing and domestic service to teaching, factory work and more. This fascinating study also considers the public commentary made about Irish women from the pulpit, press and politicians, who thought the women to be flighty, in need of guidance and prone to moral failures away from home. The repeated coverage of the ‘emigrant girl’ in government memos and journals gave the impression Irish women were leaving for reasons other than employment. Moving Histories argues that the continued focus on Irish unmarried mothers in Britain was based on genuine concerns and a real problem, but such women were not representative. They were, rather, an indictment of the conservative socio-cultural environment of an Ireland that suppressed open discourse of sexuality and forced women to ‘hide their shame’ in institutions at home and abroad.Trade ReviewReviews'A wealth of new material about an under-researched period of Irish women’s history.' Professor Bronwen Walter, Anglia Ruskin University‘The book shows Irish female emigrants to Britain as more empowered than previously depicted; it is well argued with hard facts and statistical evidence. It is important that this book is read outside academia and the feminisation of Irish history cannot alone be the work of feminist historians.’ Sinead McCoole, The Irish Times‘The only dedicated – and most exhaustive – account of Irish women emigrating to the UK.’ Colin Gannon, The Irish World'An important contribution to the history of Irish women emigrants.’ Bernadette Hyland, Morning Star‘[Redmond’s] democratic approach to a variety of sources and her willingness to read with and against the grain reflects her commitment to the centring of women and their experiences. Their centrality is what makes the book so persuasive.’ Senia Pašeta, Irish Historical Studies'Moving Histories is an important contribution to the history of Irish women emigrants in the UK.'lipstick socialist"In a well-researched and stimulating study, Redmond places Irish female migration at the center of the story of Irish emigration to Britain in the first half of the twentieth century and seeks “to demystify the female experience of migration to Britain”. She succeeds admirably in this goal."Michael Silvestri, Journal of British Studies

Book SynopsisThis publication benefited from the support of the Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts at the University of Notre Dame.This collective volume concentrates on the concept of transposition, exploring its potential as a lens through which to examine recent Francophone literary, cinematic, theatrical, musical, and artistic creations that reveal multilingual and multicultural realities. The chapters are composed by leading scholars in French and Francophone Studies who engage in interdisciplinary reflections on the ways transcontinental movement has influenced diverse genres. It begins with the premise that an attentiveness to migration has inspired writers, artists, filmmakers, playwrights and musicians to engage in new forms of translation in their work. Their own diverse backgrounds combine with their awareness of the itineraries of others to have an impact on the innovative languages that emerge in their creative production. These contemporary figures realize that migratory actualities must be transposed into different linguistic and cultural contexts in order to be legible and audible, in order to be perceptible—either for the reader, the listener, or the viewer. The novels, films, plays, works of art and musical pieces that exemplify such transpositions adopt inventive elements that push the limits of formal composition in French. This work is therefore often inspiring as it points in evocative ways toward fluid influences and a plurality of interactions that render impossible any static conception of being or belonging.Trade Review“This is an exciting and vibrant collection of essays on the French Trans-Mediterranean brought together around the concept of transposition. With its roots in Western musical practice, the transposition from one key to another or the rewriting of parts for instruments of a different pitch, the term is used here to consider relocation, migration, multilingual and transnational aspects of a great diversity of texts.” Claire LaunchburyTable of ContentsIntroduction: Tracing Transpositions, Transposing TracesAlison RiceMediterranean CrossingsMigration and Representation, from the Bildungsroman to the Testimonial GenreMadeleine DobieTransposé et pourtant juste: Transposition and Collaboration in New Francophone Migrant WritingKate AverisAccidental Form, Mediterranean Transpositions, and New Francophonies in Malika Mokeddem’s La DésiranteEdwige Tamalet TalbayevMultilingual Aesthetics and Poetics!!Abdelfattah Kilito: Writing Beyond Monolingualism and MultilingualismJane HiddlestonIntersignes du Maroc: Towards a Plural Cultural AestheticClaudia EspositoPerformance ArtsMinor Transpositions: Mohamed Rouabhi Stages the Colonial ClichéOlivia C.

Book SynopsisBeing an Irish man was a consistent, contentious issue in the Canadas. The aim of this book is to provide the first gendered examination of male Irish migration to Upper and Lower Canada within the broader contexts of negative stereotypes about Irish violence and Irishmen’s questionable loyalty to the British Empire. Through examinations of key violent episodes and (in)famous individuals, Violent Loyalties argues that being an Irishman in the Canadas meant daily negotiations with discrimination, ethnic rivalries, the pressure to become more ‘British’, and having to base one’s sense of manliness on being the most visible ‘other’ in the colonies. Irish Catholics faced the burden of being dual minorities – the ‘other’ religion within the Anglophone world and English-speaking in the Catholic sphere already established by French-Canadians. Irish Protestants also had difficulties adapting to their new communities, as the problematic association with violent Orangeism and rivalries with Scottish and English immigrants, many of whom were United Empire Loyalists, created obstacles in the quest for upward social mobility. Both Canadian and Irish historiographies are sorely lacking in examinations of masculinity compared with those investigating American, French, Australian, or British manliness. This gap in the literature becomes even more apparent outside of a twentieth-century focus. Violent Loyalties aims to fill these lacunae in the histories of colonial Canada and the Irish diaspora.Trade Review'A novel and significant contribution to studies of the Irish diaspora in Canada.'Dr William Jenkins, York University, Canada'[Violent Loyalties] is full of cracking stories. This narrative flair is intercut throughout with theoretical buttressing, where the ideas of Judith Butler, Joan Scott and others provide a framework for an innovative account of this period in Canadian history that is thoroughly engaged with transnational and empire perspectives.' Jim MacPherson, Canadian Journal of Irish Studies‘With a strong sense of scholarly analysis and yet a fluency and anecdotal vigour that will appeal to many readers, Violent Loyalties provides much-needed insight into White settler masculinities during a formational part of central Canada’s colonial past… [McGaughey’s] work in the archives has been masterful and wide-ranging; what she has done with this evidence is pioneering, with excellent work in reading across the grain for insights on gender… this is an excellent piece of scholarship and highly deserving of our consideration.

Book SynopsisSoutheast Asia has long been a crossroad of cultural influence and transnational movement, but the massive migration of Southeast Asians throughout the world in recent decades is historically unprecedented. Dispersal, compelled by economic circumstance, political turmoil, and war, engenders personal, familial, and spiritual dislocation, and provokes a questioning of identity and belonging. This volume features original works by scholars from Asia, America, and Europe that highlight these trends and perspectives on Southeast Asian migration within and beyond the Asia-Pacific region. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach -- with contributions from sociology, political science, anthropology, and history -- and anchored in empirical case studies from various Southeast Asian countries, it extends the scope of inquiry beyond the economic concerns of migration, and beyond a single country source or destination, and disciplinary focus. Analytic focus is placed on the forces and factors that shape migration trajectories and migrant incorporation experiences in Asia and Europe; the impact of migration and immigration status on individuals, families, and institutions, on questions of equity, inclusion, and identity; and the triangulated relationships between diasporic communities, the sending and receiving countries. Of particular importance is the scholarly attention to lesser known populations and issues such as Vietnamese in Poland, children and the 1.5 generation immigrants, health and mental consequences of state sponsored violence and protracted encampment, ethnic media, and the challenges of both transnational parenting and family reunification. In examining the complex and creative negotiations that immigrants engage locally and transnationally in their daily lives, it foregrounds immigrant resilience in the strategies they adopt not only to survive but thrive in displacement.

Book SynopsisFrom Desert to Town sheds light on the sedentarisation and integration of Bedouin living in fellahin towns and villages in the Galilee, between 1700 and 2020. The purpose is to analyse the dynamics of the factors and circumstances that led to this migration. Official history has always lacked data on the Bedouin population in Palestine. Historians have recorded the biography of particular elites, and especially in the context of local warfare and tribal antagonisms, but have hitherto neglected ongoing migration from desert life to town life of Bedouin in the Galilee. The historical record is further complicated by the Bedouin themselves, who over time have been reluctant to register with governmental authority, whether Ottoman, British, or Israeli. This book brings together the available historical information combined with ethnographic data, from which it is possible to derive, analyse, and infer much information about Bedouin life in the Galilee over the past three hundred years. The move from rural to town for populations world-wide has dominated twentieth-century migration patterns. The move from desert life, as opposed to the move from rural life, has distinctive features, making the Bedouin case unique in its social complexity: from change in the use of language to the economic underpinning of intermarriage. A comprehensive understanding of the process of Bedouin settlement and integration into urban society has major social, cultural and economic implications for the wider Israeli society. The work is a major contribution to government planning at many levels, including population disbursement and education.

Book SynopsisElgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world’s leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.Highlighting the power of multi-dimensional demography, this Advanced Introduction addresses the most consequential changes in our societies and economies using quantitative approaches. It defines three demographic theories with predictive power - demographic metabolism, transition and dividend - and repositions the discipline at the heart of social science.Key features include: Discussion of alternative demographic scenarios in the context of sustainable development Introduction of national human resource management as the population policy for the 21st century An outline of how the significant demographic theories discussed form the building blocks of a Unified Demographic Theory An argument for cognitive changes as the primary driver of demographic transition rather than changing economic conditions, demonstrated by the impact of changing educational attainment structures. This Advanced Introduction is a must-read for demographers around the globe for its concise summary of the concepts, theories and power of multi-dimensional demography, as well as students of demography at all levels. It will also be useful to academics in other social sciences, including human geography, development studies and sociology scholars interested in what state-of-the-art demography has to offer their fields.Trade Review‘Wolfgang Lutz secured his place among the handful of the world's most influential demographers by decades of pioneering empirical research, theoretical exploration, and institutional leadership. This succinct book is a capstone to his contributions. Lutz envisions multi-dimensional demography (including age, sex and other attributes like education) as the foundation for a theory that integrates demographic metabolism (cohort replacement), the demographic transition, and the demographic dividend. Demographers, social scientists, and policy makers need to read this important book.’ -- Joel E. Cohen, The Rockefeller University and Columbia University, US‘Wolfgang Lutz has put together his encyclopaedic demographic knowledge in this excellent Advanced Introduction. Far from being a conventional introduction, his central theme is that demography must have scientific rigour to offer “predictive power” for social change and human welfare. Three theories are key: intergenerational change, demographic transition and the demographic dividend, central to economic change. Thereby demography can become an “intervention science” to enhance welfare. Education, particularly of girls, takes centre stage. These ideas underpin a stimulating look at population change and the central issues of sustainable development and the global future.’ -- David Coleman, University of Oxford, UK‘Wolfgang Lutz is one of the most accomplished demographers in the world, and this book is a major accomplishment. Building on prior demographic research, including his and that of his research team, he creates a unified demographic theory importantly incorporating education into our demographic view of the world. This book should be required reading for everyone–not just demographers. I guarantee that you will better understand how the world works once you have absorbed what Professor Lutz is telling us.’ -- John R. Weeks, San Diego State University, US'A masterful survey, analysis, and exposition. Studying this text will yield a broad and deep understanding of demographic theories and perspectives, along with the uses of demography, that is simply not attainable in any other two or three sources combined. Alongside, Lutz consolidates considerations of human capital--education and health--into the very core of demographic science, projections, and policy. Students equipped with this knowledge will understand the foundations of what they are doing as demographers AND what they are observing in the world as citizens. A remarkable achievement.' -- William Butz, former President, Population Reference Bureau, Washington DC, USTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1. Demographic concepts and data 2.

Book SynopsisAs the law and politics of migration become increasingly intertwined, this thought-provoking Research Handbook addresses the challenge of analysing their relationship. Discussing the evolving theoretical approaches to migration, it explores the growing attention given to the legal frameworks for migration and the expansion of regulation, as migration moves to the centre of the global political agenda.The Research Handbook demonstrates that the overlap between law and politics puts the rule of law at risk in matters of migration as advocates around the globe increasingly turn to law to address the challenges of new migration politics. Presenting a fresh mapping of current issues in the field, it focusses on institutions of migration and analyses the securitization of migration management and the strengths and weaknesses of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.Written by leading scholars specialising in a range of disciplines, the Research Handbook on the Law and Politics of Migration will be an illuminating read for academics and students of migration studies with backgrounds in law, politics, criminology, sociology, history, geography and beyond.Trade Review'This Research Handbook is both timely and timeless - offering penetrating insight into contemporary developments in subjects as diverse as technology and migration, or the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, while also offering fresh insights into persistent normative and conceptual debates in the field. It is bound to become a field-defining collection.' -- Audrey Macklin, University of Toronto, Canada'Dauvergne's elegant volume is a tour de force of the inseparability of migration law and politics. The weaknesses of existing migration frameworks are exposed at a time when the human desire to move has never been so universally shared nor so comprehensively thwarted. From impenetrable webs of repulsion and management to medico-legal borders in the time of a pandemic, this Research Handbook pushes us to question what the migration frameworks of tomorrow need to look like and all of the legal, political and institutional challenges they will bring. Brava.' -- Sharon Pickering, Monash University, Australia'This Research Handbook is a must-have for anyone seeking to truly understand the relationship between law, politics, and migration. It represents a unique collaboration among an interdisciplinary, transnational collection of pre-eminent scholars who apply their expertise to the most significant migration questions of the modern world. Its contribution lies in illuminating how migration issues have moved from the borders of our society to the center of law and politics on a scale that is at once global, intensely local, and ultimately personal.' -- Juliet Stumpf, Lewis and Clark Law School, USTable of ContentsContents: 1 Introduction to the Research Handbook on the Law and Politics of Migration : law, politics, and the spaces between 1 Catherine Dauvergne PART I FRAMING THE LAW AND POLITICS OF MIGRATION 2 The politics of migration law: interests, ideas, and institutions 8 Irene Bloemraad 3 Unsettling migration studies: indigeneity and immigration in settler colonial states 21 Antje Ellermann and Ben O’Heran 4 Migration politics at the meso-level 35 Erin Aeran Chung 5 The problem of boundaries: the constitution and the meaning of citizenship 47 Asha Kaushal 6 The trilemma of Canadian migrant worker policy: facilitating employer access while protecting the Canadian labour market and addressing migrant worker exploitation 63 Sarah Marsden, Eric Tucker, and Leah F.

Book SynopsisTaking an integrated approach, this unique Handbook places the terms 'citizenship' and 'migration' on an equal footing, examining how they are related to each other, both conceptually and empirically. Expert contributors explore how citizenship and migration intersect in contemporary thinking, going beyond accounts that often treat the terms separately or simply point out the implications of one term for the other. Organised into five parts, chapters address the basic theoretical perspectives on citizenship and migration, including normative approaches, cross-national differences in citizenship regimes, and methodological issues. The Handbook then moves on to look at the three fundamental dimensions of citizenship: membership, rights, and participation. The final part discusses key contemporary challenges and future perspectives for the study of citizenship and migration.This Handbook will be a valuable resource for scholars and students engaged in the study of citizenship, migration, public policy, human rights, sociology and political science, more broadly. Its interdisciplinary perspective and use of empirical studies will also be beneficial for practitioners and policy makers in these fields.Trade Review'Citizenship and migration have been increasingly important topics in academic research as well as in public discourse. This Handbook connects the two phenomena systematically, looking at migration from a citizenship perspective and examining how citizenship has been transformed through migration. It provides an excellent introduction into the state of art with regard to the membership, rights, and participation dimensions of the citizenship and migration nexus.' -- Rainer Bauböck, European University Institute, Italy and Austrian Academy of Sciences, Austria'With a very well selected set of authors, who span a wide range of conceptual and empirical work on citizenship and migration, this Handbook offers an excellent one-stop resource for all advanced scholars of the subject. It captures well some of the key current debates structuring work in this ever-expanding field.' -- Adrian Favell, University of Leeds, UK‘At a time when the interaction between citizenship and migration comes under intense scrutiny – as the pandemic forces us to rethink who can cross borders, what is the difference between a migrant and a citizen, what are the rights of each and whose work or health is more essential – this is a timely and needed Handbook offering a critical overview of the multiple intersections between migration and citizenship in theory and in real life.’ -- Anna Triandafyllidou, Toronto Metropolitan University, CanadaTable of ContentsContents: 1 Citizenship and migration: mapping the terrain 1 Marco Giugni and Maria Grasso PART I THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES AND METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES 2 Normative perspectives on citizenship and migration: the challenge of integration into citizenship in immigration societies 21 Matteo Gianni 3 Empirical perspectives on citizenship and migration: the challenge of capturing complexity 37 Laurence Lessard-Phillips and Nobuko Nagai 4 Citizenship models and migrant integration: rethinking the intersection of citizenship and migrant integration through (b)ordering 52 Luca Pfirter, Lisa Marie Borrelli, Didier Ruedin and Stefanie Kurt 5 Quantitative methodological approaches to citizenship and migration 66 Natalia C.

Book SynopsisCapturing the important place and power role that culture plays in the decision-making process of migration, this Handbook looks at human movement outside of a vacuum; taking into account the impact of family relationships, access to resources, and security and insecurity at both the points of origin and destination.Utilising case studies from around the world, chapters look at migration from the perspectives of a broad range of migrants, including refugees, labour migrants, students, highly educated migrants, and documented and undocumented movers. The Handbook moves beyond an understanding of the economics of migration, looking at the importance of love, skilled movers, food and identity in migrants’ lives. It analyses the assumption that migrants follow direct pathways to new destinations where they settle, recognising the dynamic ways in which movers travel, following circular routes and celebrating new opportunities. Highlighting the challenges migrants face, disputes around belonging and citizenship are explored in relation to rising nationalism and xenophobia.The insightful studies of the choices migrants make around both perceived and real needs and resources will make this Handbook a critical read for scholars and students of migration studies. It will also appeal to policy makers looking to understand the complexity of the impetus to migrant movement, and the important role that culture plays.Trade Review’This Handbook provides a wealth of state-of-the-art chapters exploring the foremost issues concerning contemporary global migration. Its integrative theme of culture - human meanings and patterns as they affect migration processes - offers a most welcome perspective and mode of understanding.’ -- - Steven Vertovec, Max Planck institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity, Germany’Based on the fundamental argument that ‘’culture matters’’ for understanding migration, this rich collection of essays makes new and original contributions to the study of migration as a key global process. These novel perspectives include wellbeing, lifestyle, sex, religion, sport, food, resilience, and many others.’ -- - Russell King, University of Sussex, UKTable of ContentsContents: Preface xix 1 Handbook of Culture and Migration : an introduction 1 Jeffrey H.
