Menschenhandel im Lichte institutioneller Praktiken. Ein deutsch-französischer Vergleich

Principal investigator Rebecca Pates (Principal Investigator ), Mathilde Darley (Principal Investigator )
Description
Das vorliegende Forschungsvorhaben befasst sich mit Interaktionen zwischen migrantischen Prostituierten und den sich mit ihrer Kontrolle oder Betreuung befassten Institutionen. Das Forschungsvorhaben betrachtet diese in Hinblick auf die institutionellen Klassifikationsmechanismen, die hinsichtlich der Prostituierten zur Anwendung kommen. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die Frage, welche Rolle innerhalb dieser Interaktions- und Klassifikationspraktiken die Kategorie Opfer von Menschenhandel spielt. In Abgrenzung zu einem sich zuweilen in äußerst kontroversen nationalen Debatten über eine angemessene Regulierung des Sexgewerbes verfangenen Forschungskontext, untersucht dieses Projekt zwei Regime der Prostitutionsregulierung (eines reglementaristischen in Deutschland und eines abolitionistischen in Frankreich). Es soll sich der Frage widmen, inwieweit die lokalen Verwaltungspraktiken durch den gesetzlichen Rahmen bestimmt werden (oder auch nicht, insofern sich Law in the books von Law in practice unterscheiden).

Migration Policy Index

Description
The authors created an overall index of migration policies, taking into account 38 countries in the period 1996-2014. They constructed an indicator of the restrictiveness of immigration entry policy across countries as well as a more comprehensive indicator of migration policy that also accounts for staying requirements and regulations to foster integration. Specifically, they estimate a Bayesian-state space model to combine all publicly available data sources that are informative on migration policy. Therefore, starting from some of the previously-created indexes, and from a database of over 250 indicators of migration policy, they created three sub-indexes that correspond to three categories traditionally distinguished in migration policy: (1) entry policies (including family reunification); (2) stay policies (permanent as opposed to temporary migration); and (3) integration policies (including migrant rights). They constructed three different migration policy indexes, MPIE; MPIS and MPII, of respectively entry, stay, and integration policies, that asses the restrictiveness of each of these sub-fields of migration policy, as well as a comprehensive indicator MPIC reflecting the overall stance of migration policy.

Transnational Protest: Social Movements and Political Mobilisation Across Ireland and the Irish Diaspora, 1879-1903

Description
At the core of this research project lies an investigation of social and political protest in the complex transnational space across Ireland and the Irish diaspora. Irish people who emigrated are frequently considered by historians as a separate field of inquiry, set apart from Irish history. I propose to comparatively analyze how Irish people at home, in Britain and the United States engaged with widespread agrarian protest in Ireland during the period 1879-1903. The Irish Land League and subsequent agrarian movements were genuinely transnational phenomena in that they connected Ireland with the diaspora worldwide. My study investigates the sources, nature and chronology of support for these movements. Through combining membership and subscriber lists with new digitised genealogical databases and shipping records, I will create a social profile, which will enable the sustained comparison across national boundaries of key themes and questions, such as mechanisms of political mobilisation; class; the relational landscape between diasporas and the home country; the role of women; social mobility. Through moving beyond the island of Ireland as the ‘container space’ of analysis, this project integrates the history of modern Ireland with that of its diaspora, and develops methodological and theoretical models that will contribute to furthering transnational and global agendas beyond the field of Irish history. In doing so I will make a substantial contribution to the historiographies of Ireland and the receiver countries, Britain and the United States and research in the European Research Area.

50 Jahre österreichisch-türkisches Anwerbeabkommen - Von der Arbeitsmigration zur Einwanderung

Principal investigator Sylvia Hahn (Principal Investigator), Georg Stöger (Project Team Member)
Description
Im Mai 1964 wurde zwischen Österreich und der Türkei ein bilaterales Wanderabkommen geschlossen, das eine Erleichterung der Anwerbung türkischer Arbeitskräfte für eine Tätigkeit in Österreich ermöglichen sollte. Das Abkommen initiierte eine umfangreiche Migrationsbewegung aus der Türkei nach Österreich - innerhalb weniger Jahre würden aus temporären Zuwanderern Einwanderer. Im Rahmen des Projekts sollen Umstände und Folgewirkungen des Abkommens und der daraus resultierenden Migrationen rekonstruiert werden.

Citizenship Regime Inclusiveness Index (CITRIX)

Description
This the Citizenship Regime Inclusiveness Index (CITRIX) mainly builds on selected and partly modified indicators of the Migration and Integration Policy Index (MIPEX) strand on the Access to Nationality. It also uses the citizenship indicators of Fitzgerald et al. (2014) as well as the resources offered by DEMIG and GLOBALCIT as further cornerstones for data collection. Covering a total of 23 OECD countries from 1980 to 2014 (805 country-year observations), CITRIX zooms in on four fundamental components of citizenship regimes relating to the acquisition of nationality by immigrants and their children: (1) the residence duration requirement for ordinary naturalization; (2) the toleration of dual citizenship in naturalization; (3) further naturalization requirements, namely language and citizenship tests as well as economic and criminal record condition; and (4) the strength of jus soli.

Who's Best Interests ? Exploring Unaccompanied Minor's Rights Through the Lens of Migration and Asylum Procedures

Principal investigator Mateja Sedmak (Principal Investigator), Daniel Senovilla Hernández (Investigator)
Description
The project “In whose best interest? Exploring Unaccompanied Minors’ Rights Through the Lens of Migration and Asylum Procedures (MinAs)” is a research project carried out in four European countries (Slovenia, Austria, France and United Kingdom) in the period from June 2014 to December 2015. European Commission finances the project and its main aim is to identify and recommend better procedures and protection measures for unaccompanied minors (UAM). The project examines UAMs’ reception, protection, asylum and return procedures and focuses on: 1. The concept of best interests of the child (BIC). 2. The formal processes of best interests determination (BID). The project looks at both concepts in the actual legal framework for UAM in reception, protection, asylum and return procedures in the four EU countries. Many European countries have not yet introduced best interests determination procedures into their national legislation for UAM. In these cases, lack of appropriate safeguards for UAM are most likely to be identified, leaving the possibility of (too) flexible interpretation of the child’s best interests, which in some cases may be subjected to nationalist, xenophobic and racist discourse. In order to contribute to fulfilling the national obligations set out by international law, as well as following the aims of the European Commission, the project analyses the practical, philosophical and phenomenological dimensions of the best interests of the child, which will enable a deeper understanding of the best interests of children as well providing a solid basis for proper implementation of the principle in practice.

Patterns of Drug Use among (ethnic and cultural) Minorities

Principal investigator Tom Delcorte (Coordinartor), Dirk Jacobs (Partner), Ilse Derluyn (Partner), Wouter Vanderplasschen (Partner)
Description
Even though attitudes and practices of ethnic minority groups in Belgium have been extensively studied in the last decade, little is known about the prevalence and nature of their substance use (alcohol and illicit drugs). It therefore remains an under-researched topic, especially in Europe (Bashford et al., 2004). One of the main reasons lies in conceptual and methodological issues that complicate research on ethnicity. These issues, combined with the multidimensional nature of drug use, fear of accusations of racism and discrimination, and a general lack of minority ethnic health and social care workers and researchers, have created an environment where the theme of ethnicity, drug use and related service provision has been neglected. A necessary first step towards a holistic approach for these specific populations is to establish accurate information on the extent of drug use and its possible determinants. This project re-unites a multidisciplinary network (sociology, criminology, special education and social work) that has previously performed the Belspo-funded study on ‘Treatment trajectories of drug users from ethnic minorities’ (ZEMIV-project 2006-2007; Derluyn et al., 2008) - aims to help fill this gap. The general objectives of this research are: • to contribute to a better understanding of the prevalence and nature of drug use among ethnic and cultural minorities (ECM) in Belgium; • to unveil the determining factors behind substance use (illicit drugs and alcohol); • to increase ECM capacity in raising awareness about drug issues within the participants’ own communities; • and to assess the needs of ECM and articulate them with the actors responsible for planning services.

Betreuungs- und Pflegebedarf älterer MigrantInnen: Bedarfsabschätzung und Herausforderungen (BEMIG)

Description
The percentage of people aged over 65 years and born outside Austria was 14% in 2012 and the number is growing. The aging of the migrant population is raising issues in regard of health and subsequently health care of elderly migrants as well as the demand for care services that comes along. BEMIG is aimed to improve the knowledge on the need for care and support for elderly migrants, their use of support services provided outside the family and the challenges laid down for service providers by a socioculturally diverse society. Research objectives: Based on a quantitative analysis of existing demographic data the demand for care and support for the next 5 – 10 years is estimated by taking into account temporary and permanent return and other forms of transnational conducts of life. Furthermore, expert interviews and group discussions with migrants confronted with care needs for elderly in their families will allow an assessment of existing care services and barriers to their accessibility and usage. Other research objectives are: - qualitative analysis of the relation between care by family members and their participation in education and the labour market - qualitative analysis of the entitlements of elderly migrants for care provided outside the family - assessment of recent and future role of religious and ethnical oriented providers in elderly care and support - investigations on adaptations of care providing facilities in the context of lingual, cultural and religious needs of elderly migrants. The outcome of this project shall serve as a base for target-oriented integration strategies and actions addressing elderly migrants and overall, give guidance for an integration-policy oriented development in the field of care and support for elderly people in Austria. Outcomes: - report on research outcomes - report with policy recommendations - conference

Mapping undocumented lives: Cross-border mobilities, urban spatialities and the paperless migrants in the EU / Rajanylityksiä, diasporan tiloja: paperittomien siirtolaisten EU (241 777 €)

Principal investigator Inka Kaakinen ()
Description
Project description: It is estimated that there are currently some 3.8 million paperless migrants living in the EU-member countries. Whereas the question of their (lack of) social rights has been brought up in several studies, very little is known about the ways they get by in cities and spaces without the due documents that would entitle them to those rights. In this study I aim to fill this gap and focus, therefore, on the embodied, material mobilities and moorings of the paperless migrants, the mobilisation of transnational networks and the politics and spatial practices in diaspora. The research maps the geographies of the “undocumented everyday” and gives the paperless a voice through a qualitative approach. It aims to trace some of the creative interfaces between work on urban public space, mobilities, transnational migrations and the intricate idea of development. The key concepts are inclusion, legality, visibility, mobility, power structures and, finally, people’s right to be (in public). / Hankkeen Julkinen kuvaus: EU:n alueella elää arviolta 3,8 miljoonaa paperitonta siirtolaista, joiden sosiaaliset oikeudet ovat viime aikoina nousseet tutkimuskysymyksiksi, mutta joiden arjen maantieteestä tiedetään edelleen hyvin vähän. Kuinka he selviävät kaupunkitiloissa, joissa heitä ei virallisesti ole olemassa ja joissa heidän ei tulisi näkyä? Tutkimus kartoittaa paperittomien arkea eri osissa EU:ta ja tuo esille, 1) kuinka kansalliset maahanmuutto- ja siirtolaispolitiikat muokkaavat paperittomien tilallisia käytäntöjä paikallisesti ja 2) mitä nämä diasporan tilat puolestaan kertovat parhaista käytännöistä EU:ssa. Tutkimusote on korostetun tilallinen, mutta liikkuu kaupunkimaantieteen lisäksi muuttoliike- ja kehitystutkimuksen rajapinnassa. Tutkimuksen avainkäsitteitä ovat näkyvyys, liikkuvuus, liikkuvat metodit, vallan rekisterit, kehitys sekä oikeus kaupunkitiloihin.

Das Erwachsenwerden türkischer Migrantennachkommen. Eine Mixed-Methods-Studie auf Basis des SOEP

Principal investigator Ingrid Tucci (Principal Investigator), Olaf Groh-Samberg (Principal Investigator)
Description
Das von der DFG geförderte Projekt knüpft an die Forschungsarbeit an, die im Rahmen des deutsch-französischen ANR-DFG-Projekts „Berufliche Strategien und Statuspassagen von jungen Erwachsenen mit Migrationshintergrund im deutsch-französischen Vergleich“ (in Kooperation mit dem Centre Marc Bloch in Berlin) durchgeführt wurde. Das Projekt wird von Dr. Ingrid Tucci und Prof. Dr. Olaf Groh-Samberg geleitet. Ziel ist eine Analyse der Verlaufsmuster junger Menschen mit türkischem Hintergrund, die auf der Kombination von quantitativen und qualitativen Daten im Sinne einer methodologischen und Daten-Triangulation beruht. Hierfür werden qualitative Leitfadeninterviews mit 30 ausgewählten langjährigen Befragten des Sozio-ökonomischen Panels (SOEP) durchgeführt und ausgewertet. Konkret werden Forschungsfragen verfolgt, die sich auf die wechselseitige Validierung quantitativer und qualitativer Befunde, die vertiefende inhaltliche Analyse von Bedingungen und Deutungen sozialer Aufstiege und kultureller Integration und die methodologische Auswertung beziehen. Auch soll eingehender untersucht werden, inwiefern sich biografische Wendepunkte auch in prospektiv erhobenen quantitativen Paneldaten identifizieren lassen. Wendepunkte definieren sich über die Veränderung von Handlungsorientierungen und -strategien, die mit spezifischen Statuspassagen einhergehen oder als Reaktion auf wichtige Ereignisse im Leben auftreten. Eine wichtige Frage betrifft hier auch die Chancen auf (im Lebenslauf) „späte“ soziale Aufstiege nach einer prekären Lebensphase.

Migración de retorno y re-emigración: nuevas dinámicas migratorias de marroquíes y bolivianos y los retos para la gestión de la movilidad

Principal investigator Sonia Parella (Principal Investigator)
Description
"La investigación analiza las tendencias relativas a las estrategias y experiencias de movilidad de la población migrante residente en España, con el fin de proporcionar elementos de diagnóstico que permitan ajustar las decisiones políticas a las nuevas realidades. Por un lado, el proyecto se aproxima a la migración de retorno “desde arriba”, analizando la acción de los Estados y de las entidades sociales que diseñan y ejecutan iniciativas en esta materia. Así, se pretenden identificar aquellas herramientas que pueden favorecer un retorno sostenible, respetuoso con los derechos humanos, desde planteamientos transnacionales y coordinados que incorporen las distintas necesidades de las personas migrantes. La investigación incorpora un segundo nivel de análisis, aproximándose desde un enfoque transnacional y multidimensional a las experiencias de retorno de dos colectivos de migrantes: el marroquí y el boliviano. Mediante la combinación de distintas herramientas metodológicas, se analizan las estrategias y experiencias de movilidad internacional de ambos colectivos, que presentan contextos pre-migratorios, trayectorias migratorias y de asentamiento en España diferenciadas. El diseño de la investigación se basa en una estrategia mixta, de generación de datos cuantitativos y cualitativos que cubren distintos niveles de análisis. Una primera parte incluye la realización de una encuesta de retorno y movilidad, que pretende consolidar un instrumento de medida que permita posteriores análisis comparativos a nivel internacional y que se basa en los avances metodológicos del proyecto RETTRANS (CSO2010-15924), liderado por el GEDIME. La segunda parte, de corte cualitativo, se basa en un diseño multilocal, que incorpora trabajo de campo en los países de origen y destino (y la reconstrucción de trayectorias a terceros países por medio de entrevistas en profundidad)."

Ageing Migrants' Well-being: The Structuring of Local Welfare Provisions at the Intersection of Public, Private, Third Sector and the Family

Description
The project’s scope is to advance the state-of-the-art research in the area of ageing migrants, local welfare regimes and care provisions. The project focuses on three dimensions: 1) local welfare policies with a focus on care for ageing migrants; 2) the role of the family as an informal care provider and 3) the care by ageing migrants. The results would serve to expand the knowledge base of local welfare policies capable to contribute to the well being of ageing migrants. Lately there has been increasing awareness that some migrants are reaching the retirement age at the destination and some people choose to migrate after retirement. Like in many other European countries, in Switzerland, occurs a rapid ageing of the migrant population. From the heterogeneous group of ageing migrants, two sub-groups will be chosen – labour migrants from after WWII and the refugees – which exist in many European countries. Particular attention will be given categories at risk: separated women and the ‘older old’. To address these interdisciplinary issues, the project will employ mixed-methods, combining qualitative and quantitative methods. There will be done a quantitative analysis of the ageing migrants population in Switzerland, there will be conducted interviews with ageing migrants and with local stakeholders in the welfare provisions in three selected regions, and there will be done a policy and institutional analysis of local policies with respect to care. The project conducts several comparisons – between ageing migrant groups and between regions – in order to underline differences and similarities, and explore the causalities leading to these outcomes. The expected results would be to 1) develop conceptual framework for analysing the evolving notion of welfare by focusing on the dynamics between public, private and third sector; 2) underline the contribution of ageing migrants in society and 3) explore the limitations of the family in welfare provisions.

The Social Life of State Deportation Regimes: A Comparative Study of the Implementation Interface

Description
The deportation of irregular migrants is a burning issue in public debates all around the world. Most states invest heavily in effective deportation regimes, but when it comes to implementation, deportation regimes are notorious for not achieving their declared goals. Everywhere, marked discrepancies persist between deportation policies and actual practices of deportation. This project compares the implementation of deportation regimes in four different states – Israel, Greece, Spain and Ecuador – in order to provide a closely researched assessment of implementation practices. It interrogates a core assumption in much of the scholarly literature on the “deportation turn”, namely, that there is a global convergence of state deportation regimes. The project adds a crucial – yet, so far underexplored – perspective on irregular migration: the interface of street-level state agents and civil-society actors in shaping practices of deportation. Existing studies look either at the “top level” of the state (policies, laws, procedures, etc.), or at the “underground level” of its “victims” (irregular migrants’ survival strategies, trafficking networks, etc.). This project privileges the “meso level” of the deportation regime, bringing to light the agency of those who exercise discretion in interpreting laws and policies at the “implementation interface”. It makes an original contribution to the anthropology of the state, by demonstrating that the territorial sovereignty of states is constantly renegotiated at this level. The project will produce knowledge on the dilemmas, tactics and occasional alliances of those who carry out and those who obstruct deportation regimes. It will provide new insights into actors’ motivations and worldviews, and explore the dynamics of both “implementation deficits” and “implementation surpluses”. The fine-grained comparative methodology is aimed at producing findings that will be of theoretical significance and of vital importance for policymakers, street-level agents and civil-society actors in dealing with the realities of irregular migration in the 21st century.
