Policy and institutional frameworks : Senegal country report

Authors Sorana TOMA
Description
This paper gives an outline of the policies adopted in Senegal for dealing with the emigration of its citizens and for engaging with its diaspora. It shows that the country does not have a coherent policy framework for managing this phenomenon, despite the long history and the high level of international out-migration. The managing of migration is done by different governmental departments and ministries, which have been criticized for their lack of coordination. Senegal is increasingly working with European states and has signed several bilateral agreements with France and Spain, whose objectives are reducing irregular flows, organizing legal channels of migration and offering public aid for infrastructure. Moreover, the government has been actively trying to engage Senegalese living abroad in the economic development of Senegal and of their origin communities, while also promoting the return and reintegration of the members of the diaspora. Other actors, such as international organization, private banks and particularly migrant associations have been involved in such efforts.

Report on Tunisian legal emigration to the EU modes of integration, policy, institutional frameworks and engagement of non-state actors

Authors Stéphanie POUESSEL
Description
Tunisia has a long history of emigration to the European Union. The Tunisian state has progressively created and implemented a migration policy to protect Tunisian citizens abroad and to tighten ties with the country. This report presents the current policy concerning emigration – strengthening migrant ties with Tunisia and fighting against illegal migration – and policies that concern the diaspora – measures encouraging investment in Tunisia, protection of social rights abroad, new integration of the diaspora within political and civil Tunisian society. To this end, the report provides an update on the political and civil rights of emigrants (voting, plural nationalities, military duty), socio-economic rights (agreements on labor migration, custom/import incentives), social rights (family, social security) and cultural rights (languages, school, media). The report also presents the engagement of non-state actors from abroad. The collapse of the revolution has permitted the country to redefine the political participation of Tunisians abroad and their integration in politics in Tunisia. The demands of Tunisians abroad for rights to participate in politics at high levels (the right to become representatives in the Assembly; the right for a Tunisian with dual-nationality citizenship to become President) were ratified on January 2014.

Chinese migration and Chinese diaspora in Russia

Authors Sergey RYAZANTSEV
Description
Russian Federation is the closest Northern neighbour of China. Relations with Russia are thus in the center of Chinese geopolitical and economic interests are nowadays. In 1990-2010 socio-economic and political cooperation between the two countries got more dynamic and presented the following features: cross-border labor increased; the amount of investments and trade increased; new forms of migration appeared, and intercultural exchanges between the populations intensified. The transformation of socio-economic and political relations changed also the style of living and infrastructure of the border regions of Russia and China. The objective of the present paper is to probe the links between the Chinese investments and migration of the Chinese to Russia in the period 1990-2012. The paper proceeds thus in the following four steps: brief description of investments and trade exchange between Russia and China; analysis of migration flows between China and Russia in the new economic context; categorization of Chinese migration to Russia and of economic activities of Chinese diaspora and their links to investment; analysis of specificities of socio-economic adaptation of Chinese migrants in Russia.

Integration policies : Portugal country report

Authors Ana Paula CRUZ BEJA ORRICO HORTA, Maria Paula GONCALVES DE OLIVEIRA
Description
In the last decades Portugal has become a new receiving country of international migration flows. This report seeks to provide an overview of immigrant integration policies in Portugal. Special focus is given to evolving integration policy tools and to the role of state and non-state actors in the promotion of migrants’ integration. Furthermore, the report also addresses local-level policies stressing new forms of governance and good practices. The implementation of a policy of inclusion and interculturality has brought major changes to immigration phenomena in Portugal, though the present-day economic and social crisis constitutes a major challenge to be dealt with, especially in a European context of rising anti-immigration discourses and xenophobia.

The people's Republic of China policy and institutional frameworks, national report

Authors Guofu LIU, Zejun DU
Description
In 2012 there were approximately 50 million Chinese people living overseas across more than 100 countries (Wu 2011). By 2006, more than 30 million Chinese people had returned to China from abroad (Gao 2007). Both overseas Chinese nationals and those who had returned from overseas are regarded as important in China’s modernization drive (Liu Z. 2005). The Chinese government values the rights and interests of the diaspora Chinese, Chinese returnees, and their family members, and the rights and interests of Chinese citizens abroad. To this end, it has promulgated laws and policies and established designated departments and offices, including the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council and the Bureau of Emigration and Entry Administration in the Ministry of Public Security, to deal with matters relating to overseas Chinese and Chinese citizens abroad.

Integration policies : Sweden country report

Authors Ruben ANDERSSON, Agnieszka WEINAR
Description
Since new rules on labour migration came into force in 2008, Sweden’s migration policy has been recognised as being among the most open and liberal in the OECD countries (OECD 2011). Sweden also has a generous asylum system compared with other EU countries, taking large numbers of refugees from countries in conflict such as Iraq and Somalia. Integration is a political priority in Sweden, and is high on the political agenda. The goal of Sweden’s integration policies is to ‘ensure equal rights, obligations and opportunities for all, irrespective of their ethnic and cultural background’. The country report provides a very brief overview of Swedish integration policies with a special emphasis on cooperation with the States and communities of origin. Particular attention is given by the author to developments that are relevant for the main INTERACT countries of origin.

Policy and institutional frameworks on emigration and diasporas in Thailand

Authors Rananan BOONYOPAKORN
Description
This report aims to answer questions concerning emigration policy and institutional frameworks in Thailand. It identifies the different types of measures taken by the Thai Government since the introduction of the first constitution in Thailand. The government currently has three departments working extensively with emigrants and diasporas, namely: (i) the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare—the Thailand Overseas Employment Administration; (ii) the Ministry of Foreign Affairs—the Protection of Thai Nationals Abroad Division, and (iii) the Office of the Attorney General—the Office of International People’s Rights Protection (OIPP)—the Department of Peoples’ Rights Protection and Legal Aid. In summary, the report highlights the fact that the roles and functions of existing migration departments are designed primarily for labour emigrants. In the end, the organised nature of labour migration (which is handled recruitment agencies) facilitates a higher volume of migrants to be assisted and protected. Unfortunately, such a policy makes others–who are less prepared or more isolated–more vulnerable to unsafe migration situations.

South Korea country report

Authors Ijin HONG
Description
Emigrants from the Korean peninsula are one of the biggest migrant communities in the world, but yet little is known internationally about their characteristics or differences by geographic area. This explorative paper attempts to shed light on overseas Koreans and their classifications, and on the ways in which the state (mainly the South Korean government) deals with them. Generally speaking, it is possible to distinguish overseas Koreans into Kyopos (in the Western world and in Japan), Koryos (based in the ex-Soviet Union), and Chosuns (the Korean diaspora in China). While the South Korean state tends to only address their situation with a visa policy upon those returning to their homeland, NGOs and other private organizations are more active in addressing the needs of the Korean diasporas abroad.

The integration of migrants in Italy : an overview of policy instruments and actors

Authors Elena CANEVA
Description
Despite the 2008 economic crisis and the increase in emigration flows, immigration to Italy has continued, albeit to a lesser extent than in previous years. In 2013 immigrants stood at 7.4% of the country population. Nevertheless, immigration is still considered a problem, even an emergency: political and public attention is often focussed on illegal migration, whereas a well-structured integration policy discourse is nowhere to be seen. This paper offers an insight into this issue, giving an overview on integration policies in Italy: which social actors are involved in the formulation and implementation of these policies, and how the issue is discussed in public and political discourses. Mapping the main policy tools and social actors in migrant integration, the paper highlights how Italian integration policies are mostly concentrated on economic integration, whereas social and cultural policies remain marginal. The paper also shows that a gap between policies and practices may occur, due to failed or absent policies, which is largely compensated for by the intervention of non-state actors.

Emigration policies in contemporary Europe

Authors Agnieszka WEINAR
Description
The aim of the paper is to prioritise the missing side of European migration governance, that is its approach to emigration and diaspora. In order to fill the research gap and to start building a coherent knowledge base on emigration and diaspora policies in the EU, it proposes the mapping of the national responses to emigration over the last four years (mostly overlapping with the economic crisis and post-accession mobility). In this context it tackles two main questions. First, what do we know about emigration from the EU – who migrates and to where? Second, what are the main categories of response of the EU Member States to emigration? In other words, how can we categorize the existing European emigration and diaspora policies? The paper is based on commissioned reports written by 28 EU country correspondents provided in the framework of the project Carim East.

Turkey's New Diaspora Policy: The Challenge of Inclusivity, Outreach and Capacity

Description
Turkey has many expatriate communities abroad, as well as communities of various origins, whose members reside within its borders and feel connected to other states or regions. Many of these communities have been ignored or eyed with suspi-cion by the modern Turkish nation-state since its inception in the 1920s. It is only recently that Turkey has “discovered” its people abroad and the diaspora communities within, a discovery that appears to be causally connected with Turkey’s rising ambitions and ‘soft power’ capabilities. Under the Justice and Development Party, efforts for a concerted dias-pora policy have reached a peak with the creation of the Presidency for Turks Abroad and Related Communities in 2010. This report deals with the Presidency, its goals and capacities, its role within the larger context of Turkey’s foreign policy and its desired and actual impacts on Turkey’s diaspora communities.Is this a “new diaspora policy” geared towards increasing Turkish influence abroad or an attempt to improve the quality of life of Turkish citizens often experiencing discrimination in Western European countries? Or is it an example of constructive foreign policy and diaspora building among a disparate group of people, most of whom have only very little in common? Based on qualita-tive field research in the Presidency, this paper argues that Turkey’s new diaspora policy combines all of these different approaches. This openness and flexibility is a great strength, even though significant political challenges await Turkey’s diaspora policies, precisely because it is still very much in the process of assembly. That said, this first stage in the making of Turkey’s diaspora policy is a perfect time to discuss its direction and suggest ways to make it more inclusive and internationally respected. This is all the more important as Turks abroad are likely to experience more discrimination in a European Union increasingly influenced by racist and Islamo-phobic political parties, while the contestations over the hundredth anniversary of the Armenian geno-cide in 2015 will add new stress to inter-community relations between Turks, Kurds and Armenians abroad. An inclusive and post-nationalist diaspora policy would be an important remedy to both of these challenges.

EARLY WARNING FOR INCREASED SITUATIONAL AWARENESS

Description
This project proposal EARLY WARNING FOR INCREASED SITUATIONAL AWARENESS (EWISA) is addressing the FP7 Theme for Security Research the work programme topic SEC-2013.3.2-1 Pre-Operational Validation (POV) on land borders, the topic Area 10.3.2 Land borders as is aimed to promote further cooperation between public authorities as the end-users on developing new solutions to improve the quality and efficiency of public services related to security issues on topics of common European interest. The proposal is in the area of Activity 10.3, regarding the Intelligent Surveillance and Border Security with the specific funding scheme Pre-Operational Validation (POV), a Combination of Collaborative Project and Coordination (CP-CSA) and Support Action. The project implements the actual strategic approach of Frontex, expressed in EuroSur , through which an intelligence picture of possible threats against MS is obtained, picture created outside the MS and Schengen area, through the combination of radar pictures with video pictures and with the intelligence collected from the sensor stations together with the ones from the MS partners, from checked sources. The threats which are subject to analysis in this project are the following: a) illegal migration, b) smuggling, c) trafficking in drugs and forbidden materials, d) trafficking in weapons The project will provide not only the assessment of a stand-alone technology, but also assessment of the integration into current surveillance infrastructure of the new capabilities provided by the industry. The objective is to increase intelligence in video surveillance. The approach is a process like entity, which consists of: • camera-specific processes • a modular implementation of successive analysis layers, which is applied for optimal situational awareness: chaining, motion, figure. • In addition to the camera's processing capabilities, the network consists of: sensors, network analysis and system for control room.

Demografisierung des Politischen? Eine intersektionale Analyse deutscher Familien- und Migrationspolitik seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre

Principal investigator Susanne Schultz (Principal Investigator)
Description
Das DFG-Forschungsprojekt untersucht den Bedeutungszuwachs demografischen Wissens in der bundesdeutschen Familien- und Migrationspolitik seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre. Ziel ist es, Reichweite, Elemente und Dynamik einer neuen Bevölkerungspolitik in ihrer wissenschaftlichen Begründung zu analysieren. Im Fokus stehen staatliche Ansätze zur Steuerung von Fertilität und Zuwanderung als diejenigen Elemente einer neuen Demografiepolitik, die auf eine aktive Gestaltung der Größe und Zusammensetzung der nationalen Bevölkerung abzielen. Indem das Projekt sowohl Migrations- als auch Familienpolitik umfasst, ermöglicht es zudem eine intersektionale Perspektive auf die aktuelle Biopolitik der Bevölkerung, berücksichtigt aber gleichzeitig, dass Demografiepolitik sich in beiden Politikfeldern unterschiedlich ausgestaltet. Das Projekt rekurriert auf das wissenssoziologische Konzept der Demografisierung, mit dem wissenschaftliche Problemformulierungen und strategische Lösungsansätze im Zusammenhang als politische Rationalität untersucht werden können, und kombiniert dafür methodologische Zugänge aus der interpretativen policy-Forschung mit einem hegemonietheoretischen Ansatz.Der Fortsetzungsantrag zielt darauf ab, entscheidende neue Dynamiken einer Demografisierung von Migrationspolitik seit dem „Sommer der Migration“ 2015 bis Mitte 2017 empirisch aufzuarbeiten und in die übergreifende intersektionale Analyse einer Demografisierung des Politischen einzubeziehen. Damit soll ermöglicht werden, die enorme Dynamik einer auf Zuwanderung orientierten Demografiedebatte zu erfassen, die seit Mitte 2015 bewirkt hat, dass sich Zuwanderung von einem eher marginalen zu einem zentralen Aspekt demografischer Politikberatung und Regierungsstrategien in Deutschland entwickelt hat. Für eine theoretische Analyse intersektionaler Staatlichkeit in Bezug auf Bevölkerungswissenschaft und -politik ist diese kontemporäre Phase der Demografiepolitik sehr aufschlussreich, da sich in dieser Phase Zuwanderung neben der Geburtenrate zu einem zunehmend gleichberechtigten „demografischen Faktor“ für Regierungsstrategien entwickelt hat. Wichtige Aspekte, die untersucht werden sollen, sind die sich seit 2015 in die Demografiedebatte stärker oder neu einmischenden arbeitsmarktorientierte AkteurInnen, die in 2015 im Zuge des „Sommmers der Migration“ aufkommende Debatte über die Unsicherheit von Bevölkerungsprojektionen, sowie die Einbeziehung der bereits angekommenen Flüchtlingsbevölkerung in die Demografiedebatte. Auch soll das Verhältnis von Demografisierung und Ökonomisierung von Migrationspolitik auf dieser Grundlage konzeptuell bearbeitet werden und ein stärkerer Rekurs auf europäische und transnationale Ansätze in der deutschen Demografiedebatte untersucht werden

Outcast or Embraced? Clusters of Foreign Immigrants in Belgium, c. 1840-1890

Principal investigator Anne Winter (Coordinator), Kenneth Bertrams (Partner), Hilde Greefs (Partner), Bart Willems (Partner)
Description
This project aims to investigate the scale and nature of socio-cultural encounters and confrontations that emanated from foreign migration to Belgium between c. 1840 and 1890 by cross- and interdisciplinary analysis and valorization of a series of exceptionally rich but underexploited series of the federal historical heritage. Situated at the crossroads of migration history, maritime history and the history of science and technology and of social policy, this project employs these sources to map the characteristics of foreign migration streams to Belgium and to gain insight into their varied interactions with their host society. It focuses on an exceptional period in European and Belgian history, that was characterized by rising mobility and increasing economic integration, but also witnessed the emergence of the „modern‟ nation state, in which the distinction between „foreigner‟ and „national‟ became more important. The project aims (1) to map the scale, chronology and profiles of foreign migration to 19th-century Belgium, and (2) to investigate the political, economic, social and cultural dimensions of interactions of foreigners with different layers of Belgian society. Its underlying assumption is that increasing international mobility and circulation – rather than one-off migration – had a profound influence on the economic, political, cultural and social history of 19th-century Europe in general, and Belgium in particular. The research results from this project will therefore not only contribute to a better insight into the „national‟ history of Belgium, but will also provide major contributions to several international debates in migration history, including on the nature of a so-called „mobility transition‟ (Lucassen & Lucassen 2009), the interactions between state policies and migration patterns (Noiriel 1998; Rosental 2011), the role of migration „chains‟ and networks (Wegge 1998; Lesger et al. 2002), the international dimensions of the „knowledge economy‟ (Black 2013), and the long-term integration of international labour markets (Hatton & Williamson 2006).

Auswirkungen sozialer Netzwerke auf Humankapitalinvestitionen und Lohnkonvergenz von Zuwanderern

Principal investigator Agnese Romiti (Principal Investigator), Parvati Trübswetter (Principal Investigator), Ehsan Vallizadeh (Principal Investigator)
Description
"Die Integration von Migranten ist einer der großen arbeitsmarktpolitischen Herausforderungen in Deutschland. Während 72% der 25 bis 64 Jährigen ohne Migrationshintergrund erwerbstätig sind, sind in Deutschland lebende Ausländer nur zu 53% erwerbstätig. Bei den Personen mit Migrationshintergrund oder mit eigener Migrationserfahrung liegt der Anteil bei 59%. Auf der Grundlage der neuen IAB-SOEP Migrationsstichprobe soll die Arbeitsmarktentwicklung der Migranten anhand arbeitsmarktrelevanter Indikatoren wie Erwerbsstatus sowie Beschäftigungs- und Lohnentwicklung analysiert und die möglichen Determinanten hinsichtlich einer Angleichung bzw. einer Divergenz zu Personen ohne Migrationshintergrund untersucht werden. Eine erfolgreiche Integration von Migranten in den Arbeitsmarkt hängt von vielen Faktoren ab. Es ist bekannt, dass Faktoren wie das Bildungsniveau, die Sprachkenntnisse, oder die Anerkennung von Abschlüssen die Arbeitsmarkt- und Lohnentwicklung von Migranten positiv beeinflussen. Weniger bekannt sind hingegen die Determinanten, die wiederum diese Faktoren beeinflussen. Warum investieren beispielsweise bestimmte Migrantengruppen mehr in Bildung und Spracheals andere? Das Ziel des ersten Teilprojekts ""Lohnkonvergenz von Zuwanderern"" ist, die Auswirkung von sozialen Netzwerken und Risikopräferenzen auf die Humankapitalinvestition von Migranten zu untersuchen. Es gibt Hinweise, dass ein gutes soziales Umfeld, insbesondere das ethnische Netzwerk, eine positive Auswirkung auf die Investitionsentscheidung hinsichtlich Aus- und Weiterbildung und Sprache haben. Auf der anderen Seite können auch rationale nutzenmaximierende Konsumentscheidungen maßgeblich das Investitionsverhalten der Individuen beeinflussen. Für die empirische Analyse wird die neue IAB-SOEP Migrationsstichprobe zusammen mit administrativen Daten der Integrierten Erwerbsbiografien (IEB) herangezogen. Projektziel Wir untersuchen die Auswirkung von sozialen Netzwerken und Risikopräferenzen auf die Humankapitalinvestition und die Lohnentwicklung von Migranten."

TEMPER

Description
The overall objective of the TEMPER project consists of providing a comprehensive assessment of the pros and cons of recent initiatives to promote circular migration as an alternative to more traditional forms of temporary and permanent migration, not only among prospective migrants but also among current residents in the EU. These initiatives usually rely on a poor understanding of the ultimate reasons why some migrants spontaneously return to their country of origin while others do not, and why some of them re-migrate after return. More importantly, it is far from being clear that circular migration actually responds to the needs and expectations of many (potential) migrants from third-countries, and entails for them and their families more benefits than alternative forms of mobility. To overcome this lack of understanding, the TEMPER project will pursue three main objectives: (1) to identify the main drivers of return and circulation decisions of migrants recently involved in temporary and permanent migration, (2) to measure and explain the role that different programs and immigration policies at large have played in shaping those individual decisions and, (3) to assess the impact that different types of temporary, permanent and circular mobility have for migrant and non-migrant workers, their families and their employers. Two implicit assumptions will be tested. First, that circularity is a realistic alternative to both strictly temporary labour and permanent settlement because there exists a large enough pool of prospective migrants and returnees interested in engaging in circular mobility. Secondly, that circularity benefits the involved parties, including migrants, their families and their areas of origin, more than traditional forms of migration.
