Radicalisation, Secularism and the Governance of Religion: Bringing together European and Asian Perspectives

Description
As Europe is growing unchurched, trends of religious radicalisation seem to increase both within the continent and across the world. Claims are made that migrant integration has overall failed because marginalised and radicalised second generation youth turns to jihadist terrorism networks. This research project takes stock of these contradictory trends of increasing secularism and intensifying radicalisation while turning to countries and regions outside Europe to study the challenges of religious diversity and radicalisation that they face and investigate how they deal with them. The project develops its empirical and analytical research along two lines: It looks at regimes for governing religious diversity in Europe (covering western, southern and southeastern Europe), North Africa, the Middle East, south Asia and Oceania. It compares the norms, laws and practices and seeks to assess their relative success in integrating migrants as well as in countering radicalisation trends. By studying countries outside Europe we seek also to analyse the mutual influences and transfers of norms and practices for governing religious diversity between Europe and other continents as well as the legacy of colonialism in this domain. The second line of work concentrates on religious radicalisation focussing on radicalised movements in different countries and their trajectories. Both lines of work relate our discussion of secularisation and radicalisation to wider societal transformation processes of the 21st century (including increased connectivity and inter-dependence, faster transport and communication, widening inequalities, and the concomitant re-emergence of nationalism). The project will deliver innovative academic thinking on secularisation and radicalisation trends today as well as key messages to policy makers with regard to the governance of religious diversity and the struggle against violent radicalisation movements.

Globalisierung von unten: Zirkuläre Migrationen zwischen Südasien und Afrika, ca. 1850-2000

Principal investigator Margret Frenz (Principal Investigator)
Description
Migration ist ein konstitutierendes Element post-imperialer und globaler Welten und hat breite, aber asymmetrische historiographische Aufmerksamkeit erhalten. Die Asymmetrie zeigt sich in mehrfacher Hinsicht: bei der ungleichen Aufmerksamkeit, die verschiedene europäische Kolonialreiche und deren Schnittstellen erhalten; bei der Vernachlässigung der postkolonialen Zeit und der Implikationen von flows, die während der Kolonialzeit etabliert wurden; bei der Vernachlässigung von flows, die nicht nur zu und von einer Metropole ausgingen, sondern auch Migration innerhalb und außerhalb eines spezifischen Kolonialreichs miteinbeziehen; und bei der relativen Vernachlässigung der Implikationen von Migration für diejenigen, die zurückgelassen wurden oder migriert sind, d.h. den Erfahrungen von Migrant(inn)en und ihren sozialen Welten eine Stimme zu verleihen. Es ist das Ziel von GloBe, diese Themen ins Zentrum der Analyse zu rücken.GloBe vergleicht multidimensionale, zirkuläre Migrationsbewegungen von Südasiat(inn)en nach Ostafrika, Mosambik und Südafrika. Dieser Fokus bietet eine neuartige Perspektive in der Erforschung der Migrationsgeschichte des westlichen Indischen Ozeans, die neue, vergleichende Sichtweisen auf unterschiedliche Arten von Migrationsbewegungen eröffnet, sowie auf Mobilität über verschiedene Kolonialreiche und Nationalstaaten hinweg, und auch auf soziale Beziehungen innerhalb und zwischen Migrant(inn)en und lokaler Bevölkerung. Es ist daher von großer Bedeutung, zirkuläre Migrationsbewegungen zwischen Südasien und Afrika im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert zu analysieren. Südasien blieb ein Referenzpunkt für Südasiat(inn)en, die in Afrika leb(t)en und war auch ein Ort, an den manche Migrant(inn)en zurückkehrten oder den sie regelmäßig besuchten, um ihre Verbindungen über den westlichen Indischen Ozean zu pflegen.GloBe wird südasiatische Migrant(inn)en nach Afrika, ihre historischen Spuren, die Kontinuitäten und Transformationen ihrer Bewegungen sowie die Ähnlichkeiten und Differenzen zwischen ihrer Migration in verschiedene Teile Afrikas untersuchen. Es unterscheidet verschiedene Migrationstypen, um ein neues Verständnis zirkulärer Migration zwischen Südasien und Afrika zu erreichen. Methodisch wird das Projekt Quellen in Archiven dreier Kontinente (Europa, Südasien, Afrika) konsultieren und die Analyse von oral-history-Interviews mit südasiatischen Migrant(inn)en einbringen. Ich werde neue Aspekte zur existierenden Forschung hinzufügen: zum zirkulären Charakter von Migration; zu intra-kolonialen und inter-kolonialen Verbindungen zwischen dem portugiesischen und britischen Kolonialreich und, von der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts an, zwischen Kolonialreichen und Nationalstaaten, die koloniale und postkoloniale Schnittstelle überbrückend.Dieser Sachbeihilfe-Antrag ist als Ergänzungsantrag zu meinem Antrag auf ein Heisenberg-Stipendium gedacht, um die für die Forschung notwendigen Reise- und Sachmittel abzudecken.

MIDA: Migration for Development in Africa

Description
"Migration for Development in Africa" (MIDA) is a capacity-building programme, which helps to mobilize competencies acquired by African nationals abroad for the benefit of Africa's development. Based on its long experience in the Return of Qualified African Nationals (RQAN), IOM has launched this new programme to strengthen its capacity building efforts in assisting African countries to benefit from the investment they have made in their nationals. Many African nationals in the diaspora are applying their qualifications and skills in developed countries in Europe and North America. Such qualifications and skills should be brought back into the mainstream of development of the African continent. Through its mobility-based approach, MIDA aims at helping African nationals to directly contribute to the development of their countries of origin.

British workers emigrating to industrialising Europe, 1815-c.1870

Description
British workers emigrating to industrialising Europe, c. 1815-1870 Viewed from the perspective of 21st-century political debate, British labour and migration history is often noted for its insular tendencies. The rise of isolationist political parties and the broader antagonism to Europe expressed by many British commentators has produced a common vision of the British past as a period of secure national borders. This project fundamentally disrupts this understanding of British and European labour markets in the past. By examining the widely dispersed phenomenon of skilled labour migration from Britain to continental Europe in the nineteenth century, it allows us to understand the pre-history of European economic integration. Its focus is on the experiences of British migrant workers. The project will address their lives on the continent in the first phase of this migration. It will build upon an ongoing study of those who went to France and expand its analysis to the whole continent. What were the practicalities of these workers’ migration? Did they constitute isolated or instead relatively integrated communities? Why and how were some of them targeted by xenophobic riots, e.g. in 1848? What were their religious, cultural and associational lives? By addressing such questions, this project will not only deepen historical understanding of Europe’s past but also illuminate contemporary understandings of the place of Britain in Europe and that of migration in European economic well-being. This project will also lay foundations for historical analysis of later global economic phenomena. Many of the migrants studied in this research programme were also involved in the subsequent flows of (for example) some 10,000 British engineers across the globe between 1850 and 1914. These workers played a part in British imperial expansion, contributing not only to technical developments in the USA, Canada, Australia and South Africa, but also to some in large parts of Sout

Fictions of Return: Jüdische Diaspora, Migration und Exil

Principal investigator Yael Almog (Principal Investigator)
Description
"The project centers on the portrayals of Europe in literature, art and political writings by Jewish emigrants since the 1930s and until the present day. It holds that Jewish thinkers reconceptualized the continent in alliance with Jewish liturgical vocabulary. Europe emerged as a lost homeland for Jews, a terrain from which one is expelled. Feelings of guilt, social isolation, and historical injustice – which have shaped Jewish individuals’ affinity to the continent since the 1930s – enforced this impression. Alongside the establishment of Israel and development of Jewish communities in America, Jews thus began to imagine a relationship to Europe that mirrors the attitude they once possessed toward the mythical Zion before the birth of political Zionism. Following the oscillation between “diaspora” and “homeland” in Jewish historical imagination, the project scrutinizes Jews’ volatile and interdependent relationship to Europe, Israel, and North America. Works by German-Jewish emigrants and by Jewish migrants to Germany stress the competing roles that the image of Europe as a lethal place for Jews has played in global politics. “Fictions of return” to the continent have thus posed a continual challenge to political theories that describe the mass exile from Europe as constitutive of postwar reality due to its irreversibility, such as Hannah Arendt’s account of totalitarianism."
