Understanding and predicting developmental language abilities anddisorders in multilingual Europe

Description
PredictAble aims to train a new generation of young scientists at the crossroads between academic research, technological development in the private sector and clinical practice to pioneer an interdisciplinary approach to language related developmental disorders, like specific language impairment (SLI) and developmental dyslexia (DD). The innovative and timely research program will enhance the understanding of the cognitive mechanisms that underlie developmental disorders of spoken and written language by pooling international experts from academia and the private sector. For the first time, PredictAble applies a truly multidisciplinary and cross-linguistic perspective with a unique and novel combination of cutting-edge approaches and techniques for studying mono- and bilingual children. Thus, PredictAble will provide young researchers with an excellent foundation for making scientific progress in this area, in collaboration with technology development and the transfer of research outcomes to applicants in the private sector and the health sector/clinical practice. Highly recognized experts in the area of language acquisition in very young mono- and bilingual children will work together on the acquisition of spoken and written language in a cross-linguistic approach. The complementarity of the different languages in PredictAble will make it possible to identify language-specific and cross-linguistically valid effects. In cooperation with technological partners from the private sector, PredictAble will optimize recently developed technologies in the area of developmental cognitive neuroscience to render them suitable for use with very young children and as diagnostic tools to detect early risks for language-related impairments.

When poverty meets affluence: Migrant street workers in Scandinavia

Principal investigator Anne Britt Djuve (Project Leader), Jon Horgen Friberg (), Guri Tyldum ()
Description
The phenomenon of EU migrants who go abroad to beg, collect bottles, trade and do other types of informal “street work” (Adriaenssen 2011) has featured on the political agendas of most European countries over the last decade. While the EU framework was intended to encourage the free movement of labour, there is little regulation in place to address the free movement of poverty. As unwanted mobility from EU member states can no longer be stopped at the borders, European states have come to depend on internal policing and regulations in attempts to regulate these practices. Thus far, there has been little research into this particular form of mobility and the related institutional responses. This project addresses this knowledge gap. Drawing on theories of economic sociology and institutional theory, we will explore the causes for and outcomes of this mobility, its organisation and the development and impact of policies and discourses in countries of destination. As this mobility in many ways represents an “extreme” case of transnational migration and ethnic relations, knowledge about the mechanisms involved may challenge or strengthen assumptions within existing theories. The project will therefore engage with wider theoretical debates within the field of migration studies.

Migration and the Reshaping of Consumption Patterns

Principal investigator Edoardo Cefala (Principal Investigator), Sylvie Démurger (Investigator)
Description
Suite aux réformes engagées en Chine à la fin des années 1970, des millions de personnes attirées par de meilleures conditions économiques quittent les zones rurales pour travailler temporairement dans les zones urbaines. En parallèle, les migrations internationales en Europe ont également augmenté au cours des vingt dernières années, du fait de l’intégration économique avec les pays en développement. L'objectif du projet est d'étudier comment la migration remodèle les habitudes de consommation des migrants et des personnes indirectement touchées par la migration S’il existe un grand nombre d'études analysant les conséquences de la migration sur le marché du travail, la façon dont la consommation, les comportements de consommation et les inégalités de consommation sont affectés par la migration reste un domaine très peu exploré. L'ambition du projet est de combler cette lacune en répondant aux trois questions de recherche suivantes : a) Quel est l'impact de la Grande Migration sur les modes de consommation ? b) Quelles sont les relations entre les institutions, les changements de population et les habitudes de consommation ? c) La migration conduit-elle à un transfert des normes de consommation ? La recherche montre que la consommation est une mesure idéale pour capter le revenu permanent et donc pour prédire le bien-être économique à long terme. Dans la première question de recherche, nous nous concentrerons sur l'étude de la façon dont la migration affecte la consommation des migrants avant, pendant et après la migration, ainsi que la consommation des personnes qui sont indirectement touchées par la migration (la famille restée à la campagne d’une part, les citadins d’autre part). Avec le vieillissement de la population en Chine et la diminution concomitante de la population en âge de travailler, de nombreuses personnes devront adapter leur comportement en matière de consommation présente et d’épargne pour une consommation future. Le logement est l’un des avoirs principaux qui peut être affecté par ce type d’arbitrage. Notre deuxième question de recherche examinera le lien entre la migration d’une part et la demande de logements et les prix des logements d’autre part, ainsi que la manière dont le logement affecte la consommation des autres biens. L’objectif de la troisième question de recherche est de comprendre si et comment la migration conduit à un transfert de normes de consommation de la destination à la région d’origine. Les travailleurs migrants vivant dans les zones urbaines sont de plus en plus exposés au style de vie urbain, absorbant par là-même le comportement de consommation des citadins. De même, de nombreux jeunes migrants chinois découvrent les valeurs et normes européennes au cours de leur séjour en Europe et cette exposition est susceptible de favoriser un transfert des modes de comportements de consommation en Chine, notamment par le biais des nouvelles technologies, des médias et des réseaux sociaux. L’effet de la migration sur les familles de migrants qui, en Chine, vivent en grande partie encore en zone rurale peut ne pas être toujours positif. Dans le cas de familles recevant des transferts de fonds des migrants, nous mettons en évidence un effet négatif sur l’investissement en capital humain, car ces ménages allouent une part plus faible de leur budget à l'éducation que les ménages non-bénéficiaires de transfert. Cet effet négatif provient à la fois d’une moindre propension à envoyer ses enfants à l’école (au-delà des 9 années obligatoires) et de dépenses moins élevées en éducation (tutorat, frais de scolarité, etc.) lorsque les enfants sont à l’école. Cet investissement moindre en capital humain des familles de migrants pourrait être lié à la perception de rendements faibles de l’éducation rurale sur le marché du travail urbain.

The Incomplete Trajectory of Albanian Migration in Greece

Authors Eda Gemi
Description
The study addresses the irregular migration of Albanians to Greece. In particular, it analyses the key findings of the fieldwork with 87 Albanian migrants, the dynamic of irregular migration from Albania to Greece, the factors and the actors who affect them as well as the success or failure of the relevant migration policies. The report shows that the expanding possibility of legal entry into Greece has had the immediate consequence of limiting irregular border crossing. What emerges is that the dynamic of attraction exerted by the demand for seasonal work in sectors like tourism and agriculture, is critical in shaping the irregular migration map. The data of the case study showed that irregular flows are not significantly implicating new migrants. Rather, we see that the involvement of those who perhaps possess even rudimentary information about the Greek environment and maintain contacts with the migration networks (ethnic, family and/or with Greek employers) in Greece. Finally, the migration plans of Albanians have been shaped accordingly with the impact of the crisis on opportunities for employment in Greece, the legal status, the level of influence and facilitation provided by migration networks, the migration policies, the liberalisation of the entry visa for Albanian nationals (implemented in December 2010), the bilateral relations between Albanian and Greece, and the unstable political and socio-economic situation in Albania.

EUBorderCare: Intimate Encounters in EU Borderlands: Migrant Maternity, Sovereignty and the Politics of Care on Europe’s Peripheries

Description
EU Border Care is a comparative study of the politics of maternity care among undocumented migrants on the EU’s peripheries. Empirical analysis of personal and institutional relations of care and control in the context of pregnancy and childbirth will support an innovative critique of the moral rationale underpinning healthcare delivery and migration governance in some of Europe’s most densely crossed borderlands in France, Greece, Italy and Spain. Unlike other categories of migrants, undocumented pregnant women are a growing phenomenon, yet few social science or public health studies address EU migrant maternity care. This subject has urgent implications: whilst recent geopolitical events in North Africa and the Middle East have triggered a quantifiable increase in pregnant women entering the EU in an irregular situation, poor maternal health indicators among such women represent ethical and medical challenges to which frontline maternity services located in EU borderlands have to respond, often with little preparation or support from national and European central authorities. Grounded in long-term ethnographic fieldwork in maternity wards located in French Guiana and Mayotte (Overseas France), the North Aegean and Attica (Greece), Sicily (Italy), and Ceuta and Melilla (Spain), my project will trace the networks of maternity care delivery in peripheries facing an increase of immigration flows, and characterised by structural social and economic underinvestment. My team will investigate migrant maternity from three interlinked research perspectives: migrant women, healthcare delivery staff, and regional institutional agencies. Empirical and desk research, combined with creative audio-visual methods, will document migrant maternity on EU borderlands to address wider questions about identity and belonging, citizenship and sovereignty, and humanitarianism and universalism in Europe today.

Cultures of Disaster Resilience among children and young people

Description
Cultural sensitivity is essential to effective disaster management and disaster risk reduction, yet disaster plans still largely ignore the needs and capacities of children and young people. Addressing Topic 2 of this call, the ‘given cultural group’ is therefore children, not viewed as a homogenous group, but one which offers diverse cultural perspectives and diverse experiences of roles taken on in disasters. By ‘culture’ we mean more than ethnicity, important though that is; we also refer to social class, vulnerability, age, gender, disability and migration status. Cultures of Recovery and Resilience among children and young people in Disasters (CUiDAR) will address the exclusion of children and young people from the disaster planning and management process; it will provide innovative and creative communication channels for children’s voices to be heard and it will develop a child centred disasters management framework for use by policy/decision makers in participating countries, the EU and beyond. To achieve the objectives we have designed a suite of activities: scoping; dialogues with children (consultative workshops); regional level mutual learning exercises; national level awareness and communication events; framework design/building, and an in-depth ongoing approach to dissemination. Our unique partnership with the major children’s charity Save the Children enables the Consortium to work closely with children to achieve our objectives. Our strong existing links with emergency planners and authorities enables us to access key audiences. Each workpackage is designed to create stronger awareness of needs and capacities of children and will enable enhanced local, national and EU institutional and policy response for what is a growing and urgent societal problem: how to develop meaningful and effective disaster management (including response, recovery and resilience).

Migrants In Countries In Crisis

Description
The Migrants in Countries in Crisis project aims at providing accessible, methodologically robust and policy relevant data on the migration implications of crisis situations in host countries. It does so with the broader objective of informing efforts to strengthen the preparedness of countries of origin, transit and destination and of other relevant actors to address and respond to future crises. Research objectives: Crisis situations investigated include natural disaster, violent conflict or civil unrest, which have led to a breakdown of or serious challenges to public order, and, as a result, entail a serious threat to the personal safety, physical and psychological integrity and protection of migrants. While focusing on longer term impacts of and responses to crises in countries of destination, origin and transit, the research will also investigate the availability of relevant mechanisms ensuring the protection of migrants before, during and after crisis in countries covered by the research. Six crises situations have been selected as case studies for in-depth research: Central African Republic (civil unrest 2014); Cote d'Ivorire (civil unrest 2000-2011); Lebanon (2006-today, impact on migrant domestic workers); Libya (civil unrest 2011); South Africa (xenophobic violence 2008-2015); Thailand (natural disaster 2011). The research is conducted as part of a wider project led by ICMPD supporting the global Migrants in Countries of Crisis Initiative. It is coordinated by the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) and is conducted in partnership the International Migration Institute (IMI) of Oxford University. In addition, local research partners are involved in the fieldwork and analysis for the case studies. The Research employs an interdisciplinary approach to assess the impact of crises on migrants in the countries under study. The research will combine secondary desk research and primary research in the field with relevant stakeholders, including migrants, policy makers and public officials, representatives of international organisations, civil society stakeholders and humanitarian organisations, diaspora organisations, academics and journalists, and employers and recruitment agencies Project Partners: International Migration Institute (IMI), University of Oxford

Personal Aspirations and Processes of Adaptation: How the Legal framework Impacts on Migrants’ Agency

Description
This project examines how legal frameworks – Belgian and European - correlate with third country national migrants’ agency, namely how they impact migrants’ family and professional trajectories and to what extent they afford them the ‘capability’ to develop their lives according to their personal aspirations. It analyses the relationship between legal norms and migrants through both a top-down and a bottom-up approach: from the norms to the migrants and then from the migrants to norms with a view to proposing means to enhance migrants’ decisional autonomy. By conducting a comparative analysis of the opportunities and constraints offered by various legal statuses on migrant’ families, mobility rights, professional trajectories, and the strategies these actors develop to deal with the legal framework, this project will reveal the unequal constraints exerted by legal norms on individual choices and the subsisting margins of autonomy, depending on a series of factors including not only legal statuses, but also ethnicity, gender, level of education, and socio-economic status. The scientific aim is twofold: understand how legal frameworks shape migrants' professional, family and migratory trajectories and life projects; and analyse if, and which strategies migrants develop to bend the rules and circumvent obstacles, and/or use the opportunities offered by legal systems to fulfil their professional and family aspirations. This will lead us to address two questions that lie at the core of social sciences: the relationship between structure and agency, and social inequalities. The project also furthers our understanding of the inadequacy of normative constructions of 'the' family underlying migration policies, and the reality of migrants' family structures and dynamics. We will firmly ground our contribution to theoretical debates on the relation between structure and agency in the empirical observation and analysis of the lived experiences of migrants. Concrete scientific outputs include research publications in peer-reviewed journals and articles in collective volumes with the interim project findings, a legal definition of the notion of autonomy, and a final multi-disciplinary book.

GEMM: Growth, Equal Opportunities, Migration and Markets

Description
The Horizon 2020 programme of the European Commission provides an important opportunity for advancement of our knowledge of growth and innovation in the European Union labour markets as well as the dynamism that creates inclusive but competitive social environments. The GEMM project relates in particular to the Migration, Prosperity and Growth Dimension of the Call on the European Growth Agenda. With over 30 researchers located in several EU member states and Norway, our consortium will approach the topic and deliver: - An analysis of the obstacles to the successful incorporation of migrants and in particular to the attraction and retention of highly-skilled migrants; - A thorough assessment of the migration-related drivers of growth and the optimal functioning of markets; - An assessment of ethnic inequality in the labour market as a barrier to competitiveness and innovation in EU member states. - A set of policy recommendations that contain concrete guidelines as to how migrants can contribute to the EU economy and society These deliverables are realised by putting forward a scientifically innovative research agenda that combines a variety of methods and crosscutting expertise. Our consortium contains economists, sociologists, political scientists, and anthropologists who have made outstanding contributions to the field of migration and inequality research. Furthermore, our empirical approach is multi-method; we make use of survey, experimental and qualitative research methods to advance knowledge.

MOLECOPS: International mobility, local economics and European cooperation policies in the central Sahara

Description
Migration by nationals of sub-Saharan countries to the Sahara, often assimilated by African and European public institutions to departures to Europe, have, over the last decade, become the object of increased surveillance. The European Union has put migration at the heart of its relations with Africa, and finances a broad range of programmes that aim at a better management of migration in the Sahara. Ranging from encouragement of legal reforms to assistance in the repatriation of migrants, via equipping border posts with sophisticated means of control, EU interventions in the area take different forms, but they all have in common that little is known of their actual impact and side-effects on the ground. The aim of this research project is to study the nature and practical results of European intervention in migration issues in the central Sahara, and its global cost, by combining an exhaustive analysis of European policies with empirical fieldwork, with a view towards understanding and correcting the representations and assumptions that underpin them. The project will be hosted by the International Migration Institute (IMI) at the University of Oxford. The IMI is a leading research centre with regards to international migration and the legality and legitimacy of international intervention. Training at and collaboration with the IMI would allow the researcher to develop an innovative theoretical framework for future research, leading to a critical turn in his career. Results of the research will be of considerable academic and public interest. Most importantly, it will have important implications for European migration policy, producing reports that should become required reading for everybody involved in these matters. The candidate will do his utmost, during and after the fellowship, to reach this potential institutional audience.

Flujos cambiantes, atonía institucional». Anuario de la Inmigración en España 2014

Description
Como si de un moderno Jano bifronte se tratase, en 2014 la inmigración mostró dos caras diametralmente opuestas: átona y con pulso sosegado una, y agitada y trágica la otra. La primera comprende tanto la realidad española como la esfera institucional y normativa de la política comunitaria; la segunda expresa las tragedias que se vivieron en ese año en el Mediterráneo, y que constituyeron un doloroso anticipo de las mucho más graves que están teniendo lugar en 2015. De esta manera, la presente edición del Anuario se ocupa fundamentalmente del estado y la evolución de la inmigración en España, pero profundizando a la vez en el contexto europeo y mediterráneo que la rodean.

Contested Cities Revisited: a multidisciplinary, multi-scale analysis of urban space

Description
'The proposed project’s meta-objectives are twofold, first; from a theoretical perspective the starting point of the project is the suggestion that rather than limiting the 'extreme divided’ city label to a selected number of contested places, there is an increasing need to broaden the category itself in order to deepen the understanding of contested urbanism across the spectrum. Secondly, to construct an innovative interdisciplinary research method connecting the long overdue qualitative and quantitative divide within urban segregation research (Vertovec 2006). Within this discussion, there is a still significant lacuna as to how researchers and policymakers themselves conceptualize and prioritize the socially and politically contentious issues of urban segregation in different cities and the impact of urban space on social outcomes (Vaughan 2007). This research project suggests there is a need to re-think labels and concepts attributed to cities and neighborhoods, to better adapt planning policy and practice to ethnic minorities and migrants in an ever more fractured urban reality. Following a broad assessment of 'urban segregation' the research will focus on two nations with diverse forms of contested urbanism with the aim of 'learning through differences, rather than seeking out similarities' (Robinson 2011); namely Sweden (known for its comprehensive welfare system) and Israel (known for its ethnically based policies); selecting four case study cities (two from each country) with high levels of ethnic minorities for further in-depth analysis. With the aim of establishing a multi-level multidisciplinary comparative framework (engaging spatial and qualitative analysis); the project will integrate three main scales of investigation: (1) the nation state role in planning for urban segregation, (2) urban segregation at the city scale, and (3) the role of local community and civil society in, and their perception of, these urban processes.'

YMOBILITY: Youth mobility: maximising opportunities for individuals, labour markets and regions in Europe

Description
Research on international youth mobility has been fragmented, mostly based on relatively small samples and case studies. YMOBILITY develops a comprehensive research programme which addresses the following: • Identifying, and quantifying, the main types of international youth mobility in the EU, and their key characteristics. Particular attention will be given to differences between and within three main types: highly skilled, less skilled and students • Understanding what determines which individuals do and which do not participate in international mobility as personal and professional development strategies: their motives, migration channels and information sources • Analysing the individual outcomes in terms of both employability and careers (skills and competences) and non-economic terms (welfare and identities). • Analysing the territorial outcomes for the regions of both origin and destination, in economic, demographic and cultural terms • Differentiating between short-term and long-term outcomes, taking into account return migration and future intentions to migrate. • Identifying implications for policies in migration but also of education, the economy and housing The research will utilise existing secondary data for the whole of the EU, but will mainly rely on primary quantitative data (large-scale surveys to be undertaken by polling agency) and qualitative data (interviews with migrants and returned migrants). The study will focus on 9 countries representing different contexts for youth mobility: Romania, Slovakia and Latvia as sources of emigration and return; the UK and Sweden as destinations for migrants; Germany, Italy, Ireland and Spain as both major destinations and countries of origin. The policy analysis will be informed by interviews undertaken with key informants, such as migrant associations and policy-makers. Experimental methods will be used to assess how individuals will respond to different scenarios of future economic and social change.

Was „macht“ Migration mit deutschem Verwaltungsrecht?

Principal investigator Larissa Vetters (Principal Investigator)
Description
... Eine rechtsethnologische Untersuchung des Aufeinandertreffens von migrantischen Lebensentwürfen und rechtlicher Systembildung in verwaltungsgerichtlichen Streitfällen "Hypothese ist, dass zwischen Migranten und staatlichen Akteuren eine Interaktionssituation entsteht, von der auch jenseits des Gesetzgebungsprozesses Impulse für eine Rechtsentwicklung ausgehen. Zentrale Fragen sind, wie Migranten als Akteure die Möglichkeiten verwaltungsgerichtlichen Rechtsschutzes erleben, wie Rechtsanwender in ihrem Arbeitsalltag Migrationsdynamiken und -folgen bearbeiten und welche Auswirkungen diese soziale Praxis auf das Verwaltungsrecht und die Rechtsstaatsvorstellungen der beteiligten Akteure hat. Dr. Vetters geht von der Hypothese aus, dass zwischen Migranten und staatlichen Akteuren eine Interaktionssituation entsteht, von der in der Rechtswirklichkeit auch jenseits des Gesetzgebungsprozesses intendierte und unintendierte Impulse für eine Rechtsentwicklung und eine Transformation von Rechtsstaatsvorstellungen ausgehen. In einer empirischen Untersuchung wird diese Interaktionsdynamik einschließlich der aus ihr resultierenden Prozesse der Rechtsfortbildung und -transformation systematisch erfasst und im Hinblick auf die Ausgestaltung von Rechtsstaatlichkeit unter Bedingungen soziokultureller Pluralisierung in Deutschland eingeordnet. Zunächst wird hierfür eine Datengrundlage in Form einer Falldatenbank mit mindestens 200 Fällen geschaffen, die bislang fehlt, da insbesondere die Justizstatistik keine Daten über den Migrationshintergrund enthält. Dazu werden zunächst explorative Interviews mit Migranten geführt, um so Rechtsgebiete zu identifizieren, die – neben den klassischen Gebieten wie dem Ausländer- und Asylrecht – für die migrantische Biographie von besonderer Relevanz sind bzw. in denen der Migrationshintergrund eine Rolle spielt. Für diese Referenzgebiete sollen dann weitere Daten durch teilnehmende Beobachtung, Interviews und Analyse schriftlicher Quellen in den Akteursfeldern „Migranten“, „Anwalt/Rechtsberatungsorganisation“, „Verwaltungsgericht“ und „Behörden“ erhoben werden. Aus dieser Falldatenbank sollen dann solche Fälle ausgewählt werden, in denen sich unterschiedliche Aspekte der Rechtsentwicklung und Transformationen von Rechtsstaatsvorstellungen andeuten. Auf dieser Grundlage ist geplant, 12 bis 16 detaillierte Einzelfallstudien zu bilden, anhand derer unterschiedliche Aspekte der Rechtsentwicklung und Transformation von Rechtsstaatsvorstellungen dokumentiert und analysiert werden können. Anhand verschiedener Teilfragen werden dabei die beiden großen Teilbereiche untersucht, welche Transformationen der Ordnungsidee der Rechtsstaatlichkeit in der Rechtswirklichkeit als Ergebnis von Interaktionen zwischen den am verwaltungsgerichtlichen Verfahren beteiligten Akteuren zu beobachten sind und inwiefern transformierte Rechtsstaatsvorstellungen der Akteure auf die Rechtsanwendung und -entwicklung zurückwirken."

New regional formations: Rapid environmental change and migration in coastal regions of Ghana and Indonesia

Principal investigator Felicitas Hillmann (Principal Investigator ), Michael Flitner (Principal Investigator ), Volker Heins (Principal Investigator ), Achim Schlüter (Principal Investigator ), Hildegard Westphal (Principal Investigator )
Description
Küstenregionen spielen eine wichtige Rolle für zwei zentrale Herausforderungen heutiger Gesellschaften: Umweltwandel und Migration. Zum einen sind sie seit jeher sowohl Ursprung wie Zielregion von Migrationsbewegungen und fungieren zudem häufig als Eintrittspforten in größere Migrationsregime. Zum anderen werden Küstenregionen rund um den Globus kontinuierlich durch geomorphologische, klimatische und andere Einflüsse transformiert. Untersucht werden zwei Küstenregionen: Die Stadt Semarang in Zentraljava (Indonesien) mit rund 2 Mio. Einwohnern ist von starker Landsenkung und wiederkehrenden Hochwassern bedroht; im Distrikt Keta (Ghana) mit rund 100.000 Einwohnern findet besonders intensive Erosion entlang der Küste statt. In beiden Regionen ist ein gewichtiger und bedeutsamer Küstenwandel nicht nur Projektion oder Vorhersage für die Zukunft, sondern eine andauernde Erfahrung als "rapid change" über die letzten Jahrzehnte. Das Forschungsprojekt untersucht, wie Umweltveränderungen und Risiko-Kulturen mit den Trajektorien von Migration, den ökonomischen Strategien von Haushalten und den Antworten der Politik zusammenwirken und dabei neue Bedingungen, Begrenzungen und Möglichkeiten für regionale Formationen entstehen lassen. Zentrales Projektergebnis ist ein gemeinsam herausgegebener Band sowie Beiträge in renommierten internationalen Zeitschriften. In Ghana und Indonesien sollen darüber hinaus regionale Workshops mit lokalen Verantwortlichen durchgeführt werden.

Die volkswirtschaftlichen Effekte der Vertriebenen und ihre Integration in Westdeutschland, 1945-70

Principal investigator Sebastian Braun (Principal Investigator ), Michael Kvasnicka (Principal Investigator ), Toman Omar Mahmoud (Cooperation Partner), Nadja Dwenger (Cooperation Partner), Henning Weber (Cooperation Partner)
Description
Die Flucht und Vertreibung der Deutschen aus Ost- und Mitteleuropa ist eine der größten erzwungenen Wanderungsbewegungen der Geschichte. Sie betraf mindestens 12 Millionen Menschen, die vor dem Krieg zumeist in den ehemaligen Ostgebieten des Deutschen Reichs oder im Sudetenland lebten. Der Zustrom der Vertriebenen führte zu einer drastischen Zunahme der westdeutschen Bevölkerung. Im September 1950 war etwa jeder sechste Westdeutsche ein Vertriebener. Trotz der großen historischen Bedeutung der Vertreibung haben bislang nur sehr wenige empirische Studien die volkswirtschaftlichen Effekte der Vertriebenen und ihre Integration in Westdeutschland untersucht. Und das obwohl - im Gegensatz zu den meisten anderen erzwungenen Wanderungsbewegungen - qualitativ hochwertige Daten über die Vertriebenen existieren. Zudem erleichtern die historischen Umstände der Vertreibung empirische Kausalanalysen. So waren die Vertriebenen nicht eine selektierte Gruppe der Deutschen aus Ost- und Mitteleuropa, sondern repräsentierten einen kompletten Querschnitt ihrer Herkunftsregionen. Außerdem erfolgte die regionale Verteilung der Vertriebenen in Westdeutschland nicht unter ökonomischen Gesichtspunkten, sondern wurde primär durch die Wirren der Kriegs- und Nachkriegszeit bestimmt. Daher spielen viele Störfaktoren, die Kausalanalysen der Auswirkungen von Immigration normalerweise erschweren, für die Analyse der volkswirtschaftlichen Effekte des Vertriebenenzustroms keine oder nur eine untergeordnete Rolle. Die Flucht und Vertreibung der Deutschen ist daher nicht nur von großer historischer Bedeutung. Ihre Analyse erlaubt auch Einblicke in fundamentale und oftmals schwer zu beantwortende Fragen der Migrationsforschung. Vor diesem Hintergrund verfolgt das Projekt zwei Ziele. In einem ersten Schritt wird das Projekt eine umfassende elektronische Datenbank der verfügbaren Vertriebenenstatistiken erstellen und diese der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich machen. Die Datenbank wird insbesondere regional tiefgegliederte Vertriebenenstatistiken der Volks- und Berufszählungen von 1946, 1950, 1961 und 1970 erfassen und diese durch Statistiken aus anderen verfügbaren Quellen ergänzen. In einem zweiten Schritt wird das Projekt ausgewählte Daten der neuen Datenbank verwenden, und die spezifischen Charakteristiken der Vertreibung ausnutzen, um Licht auf drei bislang kaum untersuchte Fragen zu werfen. Erstens wird das Projekt die mittel- bis langfristigen Auswirkungen des Zustroms der Vertriebenen auf die Beschäftigungsstruktur westdeutscher Regionen analysieren und quantifizieren. Zweitens wird das Projekt untersuchen, welche Faktoren den ökonomischen Integrationsprozess der Vertriebenen beschleunigt oder verlangsamt haben. Drittens wird das Projekt die dynamischen Arbeitsmarkteffekte des Zustroms der Vertriebenen analysieren und quantifizieren.

Das Migrationsregime in Spanisch-Amerika (1700-1810)

Principal investigator Martin Biersack (Principal Investigator)
Description
Für die Migrationsgeschichte ist das koloniale Spanisch-Amerika von besonderem Interesse. Obwohl es die spanischen Gesetze allen nichtspanischen Europäern verbot, sich dort anzusiedeln, lebte eine bedeutende Anzahl von Ausländern in den amerikanischen Territorien Spaniens. Zwar wurden diese größtenteils von Regierung und Bevölkerung geduldet, ihre Situation war allerdings prekär. Nicht nur konnte eine als Ausländer deklarierte Person jederzeit unter Berufung auf die Gesetze angezeigt und ihre Ausweisung aus Amerika gefordert werden. Auch obrigkeitlich angeordnete Ausweisungskampagnen waren häufig. Mit der Reformpolitik Karls III. seit 1767 änderte sich die Bewertung ausländischer Siedler in Spanien und Amerika. Im Zuge der Peuplierungstheorien der Aufklärung wurde ihre Anwesenheit nun größtenteils als wünschenswert erachtet, sodass in der Folge konkrete Peuplierungsprojekte mit ausländischen Siedlern durchgeführt wurden. Die Duldung der Ausländer in Amerika wurde allerdings mit der US-amerikanischen Unabhängigkeit und verstärkt während der Französischen Revolution und der Napoleonischen Kriege in Frage gestellt. Ausländer wurden nun zunehmend als sicherheitspolitisches Risiko eingestuft, wobei vor allem die als Revolutionäre verdächtigen Franzosen oder die als Kriegsgegner diffamierten Engländer und Portugiesen ins Visier der Behörden gerieten. Um die nun gefürchteten Ausländer zu kontrollieren und im Bedarfsfall effektiv ausweisen zu können, wurden neue Überwachungsinstrumente geschaffen bzw. vorhandene reformiert. Ziel des Projekts ist es, das Migrationsregime in Spanisch-Amerika während des 18. und frühen 19. Jahrhunderts zu rekonstruieren. Ein Migrationsregime ist ein durch Prinzipien und Gesetze bestimmtes Handlungs- und Gestaltungsfeld, in dem individuelle, kollektive und institutionelle Akteure Migrationsprozesse in ihrem Sinne zu beeinflussen suchen. Im Zentrum der Untersuchung stehen Konflikte, die sich aus der Präsenz der Ausländer in Spanisch-Amerika ergaben. Die Analyse dieser Konflikte ermöglicht es, Regelmäßigkeit zu bestimmen, nach denen Migrationsprozesse im Migrationsregime Spanisch-Amerikas ausgehandelt wurden. Das Projekt ist bei einer Schwerpunktsetzung auf den Río de la Plata, Kuba, Mexiko, Chile und Hochperu (Bolivien) auf ganz Spanisch-Amerika bezogen und nicht nur auf eine bestimmte Verwaltungseinheit.

‘It is not just the money. It is also how the people think over there’ Retracing the journey of Pakistani migrants to Greece

Authors Michaela Maroufof
Description
Within the context of Pakistani migration, the case of Greece as a critical pathway for migratory flows to Europe during the last few years acquires a special interest. For a large group of Pakistani migrants Greece has become an important destination country: immigrants started arriving in the country in the 1970s so as to work in the shipping industry (Dermetzopoulos et al., 2009; Leghari, 2009), which, according to Tonchev, was due to bilateral and trade agreements signed for their temporary employment (2007); their influx has gradually and steadily increased in the subsequent years taking irregular forms, both in terms of entry and residence status. A question that emerges with urgency both in the scholarly literature and in public life nowadays, then, is why and how people decide to migrate embarking upon a journey and a project that is irregular? To what extent migration control policies affect their decisions?
