Book Synopsis Migrations and migrants in historical perspective by : René Leboutte
Download or read book Migrations and migrants in historical perspective written by René Leboutte and published by P.I.E-Peter Lang S.A., Editions Scientifiques Internationales. This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les migrations sont récemment réapparues comme un défi majeur pour les Etats-nations de l'Ouest, en particulier en Europe. L'augmentation rapide des flux migratoires résulte de la conjonction complexe de facteurs répulsifs et attractifs - depuis les possibilités du marché du travail jusqu'aux migrations forcées. Cependant les migrations sont enracinées dans un passé parfois lointain et les mécanismes les mieux établis ne peuvent être compris qu'en adoptant une perspective de longue durée. Les auteurs se sont efforcés non seulement d'éclaircir la complexité de la personnalité des migrants (genre, âge, éducation, religion, etc.), mais aussi de tenir compte des contextes variés des migrations (initiatives individuelles, stratégies familiales, politiques migratoires, etc.). Ils invitent le lecteur à envisager l'histoire des migrations et la situation actuelle selon une perspective nouvelle et stimulante. Migrations have recently returned as a major challenge to the developed nation-states of the West, particularly in Europe. The dramatic increase of migratory flows is caused by a complex conjunction of push and pull factors - from labour market opportunities to forced migrations. However some migrations appear to be rooted in a remote past, and the most deep-seated mechanisms can only be understood by adopting a long-term perspective. The present contributors have not only tried to clarify the complexity of the migrant personality (gender, age, education, religion etc.), but also to take into account the various contexts of migrations (individual initiatives, family strategies, migration policies etc.). They invite us to consider the history of migrations and the present situation in a new and fresh perspective.

Book Synopsis The Future of Drylands by : Cathy Lee
Download or read book The Future of Drylands written by Cathy Lee and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-11-14 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drylands have been cradles to some of the world’s greatest civilizations, and contemporary dryland communities feature rich and unique cultures. Dryland ecosystems support a surprising amount of biodiversity. Desertification, however, is a significant land degradation problem in the arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid regions of the world. Deterioration of soil and plant cover has adversely affected 70% of the world’s drylands as a result of extended droughts as well as mismanagement of range and cultivated lands. The situation is likely to worsen with high population growth rates and accompanying land-use conflicts. The contributions to The Future of Drylands – an international scientific conference held under the leadership of UNESCO – address these issues and offer practical solutions for combating desertification along with conserving and sustainably managing dryland ecosystems. Major themes include the conservation of dryland biological and cultural diversity and the human dryland interface. This volume documents how our improved understanding of drylands provides insight into the health and future prospects of these precious ecosystems that should help ensure that dryland communities enjoy a sustainable future.

Book Synopsis Africa and France by : Dominic Thomas
Download or read book Africa and France written by Dominic Thomas and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-20 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “excellent [and] incisive” look at identity, immigration, and culture in postcolonial France (Journal of West African History). This stimulating and insightful book reveals how increased control over immigration has changed cultural and social production in theater, literature, and even museum construction. Dominic Thomas’s analysis unravels the complex cultural and political realities of long-standing mobility between Africa and Europe. Thomas questions the attempt to place strict limits on what it means to be French or European and offers a sense of what must happen to bring about a renewed sense of integration and global Frenchness. “Essential reading for anyone investigating the debates surrounding contemporary French identity and the ever-changing relationship between France and her former colonial possessions.” —African Studies Bulletin

Book Synopsis New Dynamics in Female Migration and Integration by : Christiane Timmerman
Download or read book New Dynamics in Female Migration and Integration written by Christiane Timmerman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-04-10 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the dynamic interplay between cross-national and cross-cultural patterns of female migration, integration and social change, by focusing on the specific case of Belgium. It provides insight into the dynamic interplay between gender and migration, and especially contributes to the knowledge of how migration changes gender relations in Belgium, as well as in the regions of origin. To this end, an analytical model for conducting gender-sensitive migration research is developed out of an initial theory-driven conceptual model. Employing a transversal approach, the researchers reveal similarities and differences across national backgrounds, disclosing the underlying, more "universal" gender dynamics.

Book Synopsis Revisiting Moroccan Migrations by : Mohammed Berriane
Download or read book Revisiting Moroccan Migrations written by Mohammed Berriane and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the 20th century, Morocco has become one of the world’s major emigration countries. But since 2000, growing immigration and settlement of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Europe confronts Morocco with an entirely new set of social, cultural, political and legal issues. This book explores how continued emigration and increasing immigration is transforming contemporary Moroccan society, with a particular emphasis on the way the Moroccan state is dealing with shifting migratory realities. The authors of this collective volume embark on a dialogue between theory and empirical research, showcasing how contemporary migration theories help understanding recent trends in Moroccan migration, and, vice-versa, how the specific Moroccan case enriches migration theory. This perspective helps to overcome the still predominant Western-centric research view that artificially divide the world into ‘receiving’ and ‘sending’ countries and largely disregards the dynamics of and experiences with migration in countries in the Global South. This book was previously published as a special issue of The Journal of North African Studies.
Book Synopsis Migration, Development and Environment by : Jiří Novosák
Download or read book Migration, Development and Environment written by Jiří Novosák and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of the 21st century, the linkages among migration, development and environment undoubtedly belong to the most pressing issues on the political agenda. A special focus of this book is on two of these relations – on environmentally-induced migration and on the relationship between migration processes and development. The prime aim of the book is to contribute to and extend the current knowledge on these issues. How to define environmentally-induced migration? What are the differences between environmental and economic migrants? Is environmentally-induced migration forced or voluntary and what are the outcomes of selected regional field case-studies? ? How to classify environmental migrants? Where are the regional hot-spots of environmentally-induced migration? How to systematize the knowledge on migration policies? What are the impacts of skilled migration on development? What is the role of the transnationalism paradigm in the international migration research? Is international migration trade-diverting or creating? What is wrong with the effectiveness of development aid providing? Several prominent scholars and young researchers offer their answers to these challenges in the book.
Book Synopsis New Patterns of Irregular Migration in Europe by : Stéphane de Tapia
Download or read book New Patterns of Irregular Migration in Europe written by Stéphane de Tapia and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the discussions and findings of a Council of Europe expert seminar meeting, held in Strasbourg in November 2002, as well as a literature review, this publication considers the complex and interrelated issues involved in irregular migration flows in Europe, including illegal migration, applications for and refusal of asylum, and traffic in human beings. It also considers possible options for improving reception and migration policy management in Europe. Conclusions drawn include that closing external borders or implementing strict migration policies in countries of transit or arrival are often ineffective, benefiting criminal networks whilst contributing to rising fears in host countries.
Book Synopsis The Politics of Alterity by : Sarah Mazouz
Download or read book The Politics of Alterity written by Sarah Mazouz and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-11-08 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is France afraid of her others? By looking back at the discourses and practices that have been formed over the last fifteen years, Sarah Mazouz addresses French politics of alterity. Drawing on an ethnographic survey conducted in both public administrations in charge of combating racial discrimination and in naturalisation offices in a large city in the Paris region, she shows how immigration, nation, and racialisation are articulated in the social space. Through the analysis of these two public offices, Mazouz questions the processes of inclusion and exclusion within the national group itself and between the national and the foreigner. In so doing, she seeks to grasp the paradoxical relationship between the French Republic and her others and the plural logics producing national order.

Book Synopsis International Migration by : Douglas S. Massey
Download or read book International Migration written by Douglas S. Massey and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2004-03-25 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Migration: Prospects and Policies offers a comprehensive, up-to-date survey of global patterns of international migration and the policies employed to manage the flows. It shows that international migration is not rooted in poverty or rapid population growth, but in the expansion and consolidation of global markets. As nations are structurally transformed by their incorporation into global markets, people are displaced from traditional livelihoods and become international migrants. In seeking to work abroad, they do not necessarily move to the closest or richest destination, but to places already connected to their countries of origin socially, economically, and politically. When they move, migrants rely heavily on social networks created by earlier waves of immigrants, and, in recent years, professional migration brokers have become increasingly common. Developing countries generally benefit from international migration because migrant savings and remittances provide foreign earnings to finance balance of payments deficits and make productive investments. Some developing nations have gone so far as to establish programs or ministries dedicated to the export of workers. Developed nations, in contrast, focus more on the social and economic costs of immigrants and seek to reduce their numbers, regulate their characteristics, and limit their access to social services. Over time, receiving nations have gravitated toward a similar set of restrictive policies, yielding undocumented migration as a worldwide phenomenon. Globalization also creates infrastructures of transportation, communication, and social networks to put developed societies within reach. In the latter, ageing populations and segmenting markets create a persistent demand for immigrant workers. All these trends are likely to intensify in the coming years to make immigration policy a key political issue in the twenty-first century.
