Strategies and Structures. A multi-disciplinary study of the preconditions for entrepreneurship among immigrants in Sweden.

Principal investigator Martin Klinthäll (REMESO Project Leader), Susanne Urban (Participants from REMESO), Zoran Slavnic (Participants from REMESO), Craig Mitchell (Participants not from REMESO), Tobias Schölin (Participants not from REMESO)
Description
The project analyses how changes in policies and regulations affect conditions and opportunities for small business development in different industries over time, and how self-employed persons act in response to changes in opportunity structures. We study strategies of growth and survival within specific industries and markets, but also transitions of self-employment across industries and types of markets. The project will contribute new knowledge through a systematic and coherent longitudinal and spatial investigation of the dynamics of self-employment among immigrants in Sweden. The project systematically applies and develops instruments from recent international research on ethnic minority businesses (EMB). Theory in the field is developed through the integration of entrepreneurship theory and new theoretical contributions from EMB research. Theoretical perspectives on strategies and self-employed as actors is combined with theory on opportunity structures (the framework of ?mixed embeddedness?). Methodologically, the approach implies coordinated analyses of different dimensions on different levels, using a combination of policy studies, case studies and quantitative analyses.

Einwanderung, Arbeitsangebot und Fertilitätsentscheidungen von einheimischen Frauen

Principal investigator Concetta Mendolicchio (Principal Investigator)
Description
Einwanderer treten im Gastland häufig als Anbieter von haushaltsbezogenen Dienstleistungen auf, zum Beispiel im Bereich der Haushaltsführung, Kinderbetreuung und Pflege von älteren Haushaltsangehörigen, und können damit potenziell zur Erhöhung des Arbeitsangebots und der Fertilität von einheimischen Frauen beitragen. Das Projekt untersucht anhand von regional desaggregierten Daten für die Jahre 1996-2012, inwieweit das für Deutschland zutrifft. Datengrundlage ist zum einen das Sozio-ökonomische Panel (SOEP), und zum anderen INKAR (Indikatoren und Karten zur Raumentwicklung). Die Analyse wird regional und nach Qualifikationsniveau differenziert durchgeführt. Projektziel Beantwortung der folgenden Fragen: Entlasten Immigranten einheimische Frauen in Deutschland bei haushaltsbezogenen Dienstleistungen? Trägt dies zur Erhöhung von deren Arbeitsangebot und Fertilität bei? Unterscheiden sich die Effekte je nach Region und Qualifikationsniveau?

Dynamische Effekte von Immigration auf Löhne, Beschäftigung, Technologie und Innovation

Principal investigator Christian Dustmann (Principal Investigator), Tommaso Frattini (Cooperation Partner), Ian P. Preston (Cooperation Partner), Albrecht Glitz (Cooperation Partner)
Description
Durch Immigration induzierte Arbeitsangebotsschocks betreffen alle Akteure einer Volkswirtschaft. Anpassungen finden dabei im Wesentlichen über drei Kanäle statt: Löhne und Beschäftigung, Technology, und Produktion. Die bisherige Literatur konzentriert sich - im Rahmen statischer Modelle - auf die Analyse des ersten Kanals. Nur wenige Studien untersuchen Produktanpassungen, Veränderungen der relativen Produktionsanteile, Innovation oder Adaption neuer Technologien als Anpassungsmechanismus. Aufgrund des Fehlens geeigneter Daten sind bisherige Studien zum Anpassungsverhalten von Unternehmen hauptsächlich auf Industrieebene durchgeführt worden. Zudem existieren kaum Studien, die Maße zur direkten Erfassung von Technologien verwenden oder alternative Anpassungsmechanismen wie Gewinne oder den Produktmix untersuchen. In der ersten Projektphase lag der Fokus auf der Analyse der Lohn- und Beschäftigungsreaktion von Einheimischen auf Immigration, auf durch Rückwanderung induzierte Veränderungen in der Komposition der Immigranten, sowie auf den Produktivitätseffekten der Nachfrage nach spezifischen Fähigkeiten der Immigranten und auf ihren Beitrag zum Gastland. Die Forschungsergebnisse haben die bestehende Literatur in vielerlei Hinsicht erweitert. Beispielsweise wurde die Robustheit häufig verwendeter Schätzmethoden analysiert, innovative Identifikationsstrategien angewendet und die unterschiedlichen Anpassungsmechanismen einheimischer Arbeiter untersucht. Dabei wurden bisher vier Papiere erstellt, von den drei zur Publikation angenommen, eines sich in der Entwurfsform befindet und ein weiteres Projekt in Bearbeitung ist. In der zweiten Projektphase, die aus drei Teilprojekten besteht, wird der Fokus auf das Anpassungsverhalten von Unternehmen gerichtet. In Teilprojekt (i) sollen unterschiedliche Aspekte der Anpassung der Technologie und der Organisationsstruktur (T&O) des Unternehmens infolge eines Arbeitsangebotsschocks analysiert werden, sowie Anpassungen in der der Belegschaftszusammensetzung, von Löhnen, und deren Zusammenspiel untersucht werden. Des Weiteren werden alternative und bisher kaum berücksichtigte Unternehmensreaktionen untersucht, wie beispielsweise Austritte aus Tarifverträgen, Produktentwicklung und -innovation sowie die Erschließung neuer Einnahmequellen. In Teilprojekt (ii) liegt der Fokus auf den Dynamiken von T&O Anpassungen, um das Timing potentieller Kanäle zu untersuchen, mittels derer Unternehmen reagieren, sowie auf Heterogenitäten in den Anpassungsreaktionen. In Teilprojekt (iii) wird ein Untersuchungsdesign verwendet, das longitudinale Informationen über Immigranten und einheimische Arbeitnehmer innerhalb von Unternehmen nutzt, nachdem die Unternehmen einem unerwarteten Arbeitsangebotsschock ausgesetzt waren. In dieser Untersuchung soll analysiert werden, ob z.B. neue Immigranten den bisherigen Arbeitslohn unterbieten und inwieweit Unternehmen hiervon kurz- und langfristig profitieren.

Cooperation, education and inclusion in multi-ethnic suburbs

Principal investigator Magnus Dahlstedt (REMESO Project Leader), Aleksandra Ålund (Participants from REMESO), Christophe Foultier (Participants from REMESO), Lisa Kings (Participants from REMESO), Nazem Tahvilzadeh (Participants not from REMESO), Vanja Lozic (Participants not from REMESO)
Description
The project aims at enhancing empirical knowledge and theoretical understanding of this complex research question, focusing on the potential of alternative strategies for social inclusion of migrant youth in multi-ethnic urban settings. We set out to examine different expressions of cooperation for social inclusion in multi-ethnic urban settings. The project studies the question of urban unrest from different empirical perspectives, ranging from institutional representatives to actors in civil society and young people themselves. Empirically, the project will scrutinize how structural change and institutional responses related to welfare reductions affects social exclusion/inclusion of migrant youth in marginalized neighborhoods through case studies in two Swedish urban settings, Stockholm and Malmö. The project is interdisciplinary and is carried out with by the use of qualitative methods such as interviews (individually as well as in groups) and document analysis.

Migration und transkulturelle Erinnerung: Literatur, Film und das 'soziale Leben' von Erinnerungsmedien

Principal investigator Astrid Erll (Principal Investigator)
Description
Dieses Projekt erforscht den Zusammenhang von Medien, Transkulturalität und Erinnerung. Es untersucht, wie Migrationserfahrung in zeitgenössischer Literatur und Film repräsentiert, über geographische und kulturelle Grenzen hinweg zirkuliert und so zum Gegenstand eines mediatisierten transkulturellen Erinnerns wird. Das Projekt will die aktuellen memory studies (die in den vergangenen Jahren einen transcultural turn erlebt haben) mit den migration and diaspora studies sowie den postcolonial studies unter medientheoretischen und narratologischen Fragestellungen verknüpfen. Es verfolgt drei Hauptziele: 1) eine detaillierte Untersuchung anglophoner Migrationsromane als Medien transkultureller Erinnerung: wie stellen diese Texte individuelles und kollektives Erinnern im transkulturellen Raum dar? welche narrativen Verfahren tragen dazu bei, dass sie möglicherweise selbst zum Träger und Vermittler von Erinnerung über Grenzen hinweg werden? 2) eine detaillierte Untersuchung von Migrationsfilmen als Medien transkultureller Erinnerung, auch dies unter der Leitfrage nach medienspezifischen Darstellungsverfahren und Wirkungspotentialen; 3) eine konsequente Kontextualisierung von Literatur und Film in jenen sozialen Konstellationen, in denen diese Produkte erst als Medien transkultureller Erinnerung wirksam werden. Unter dem Schlagwort des social life of media geht es hierbei um die konkreten Bewegungen und die lokalen Aneignungen von global zirkulierenden Texten und Bildern, um deren Einbettung in spezifische soziale und mediale Kontexte, in denen sie aktualisiert und gedeutet werden und bestimmte (möglicherweise stark variierende) Funktionen erfüllen.

UPSTREAM: Mainstreaming Integration Governance

Description
This project analyses how, why and to what effect governments at the EU, national and local level mainstream their migrant integration policies. It aims to promote a learning process in terms of policy coordination, practices and outcomes in the governance of migrant integration. It asks the central question ‘What are the obstacles and opportunities that mainstreaming generates in terms of migrant integration policies and outcomes?’. It aims to: UNDERSTAND WHY AND WHEN POLICIES ARE MAINSTREAMED: What is the policy rationale behind mainstreaming, and under what conditions does mainstreaming occur? ENHANCE UNDERSTANDING OF AND EXCHANGE LESSONS ON HOW TO MAINSTREAM POLICIES: What does it mean in terms of policy coordination? What does it mean in terms of policy practices? UNDERSTAND AND IMPROVE THE CONSEQUENCES OF MAINSTREAMING: What integration outcomes can be associated with mainstreaming? What are the consequences for specific (vulnerable) groups and for policy coordination? Mainstreaming is one of the key trends in the governance of integration that is taking place throughout Europe. The rationale is that adapting mainstream services to address the needs of the entire diverse population — including, but not limited to, immigrants – has the potential to build a more inclusive society and improve integration outcomes. Mainstream programmes may also garner more political and public support than programs targeted at specific groups, and respond to the challenges faced by government agencies with constrained financial resources. In this study we will look at various sorts of obstacles and opportunities that may occur in mainstreaming, in terms of the rationale of mainstreaming, how it is put into practice as well as its consequences in terms of integration outcomes. As migrant integration is a strongly multi-dimensional issue, we will focus on two specific areas of migrant integration policies: education and social cohesion The focus on these two areas enables an an in-depth analysis of how mainstreaming efforts have resorted to specific effects in terms of policy coordination, practices and outcomes. Furthermore, the project promotes the exchange of knowledge and experiences by bringing together policymakers from different countries and government levels. We conceive of exchange of knowledge and experiences as a continuous process throughout the project. This on-going exchange will promote mutual learning between stakeholders as well as mutual learning between the researchers and the stakeholders. Cases This project explores how the governance and effectiveness of integration measures is affected by mainstreaming at the EU, national and local level. Mainstreaming means embedding integration into generic policies for the entire population. Besides an EU case, five country cases are selected: the UK, Spain, the Netherlands, France and Poland. These are countries with different governance structures in the domain of integration, ranging from the highly centralized in France, to moderately decentralized in the Netherlands and strongly devolved in the UK. In addition, Spain and Poland as new immigration countries are developing migrant integration policies against a very different background, with many local (and regional) initiatives. The country cases involve an analysis of national policies and policies in two cities (one major and one medium-sized city). – EU level – The Netherlands (Rotterdam and Amsterdam) – The UK (London-Southwark and Bristol) – France (Lyon and Saint Denis) – Spain (Madrid and Barcelona) – Poland (Warsaw and Poznan)

Examining the Boundaries of Embodiment

Description
The proposed research program is designed to investigate the embodied mechanisms that ground cognition, in first (L1) and second (L2) language. We suggest that different languages shape our thinking, perceiving and feeling of the world. More importantly, they are grounded differently. We argue that whereas L1 is embodied, this is not the case for L2, or at least not to the same degree. The proposed experiments are designed to systematically compare L1/L2 related differences in performance as well as psychophysiological indicators in a number of paradigms presented to early (EB) and late (LB) bilinguals. To our knowledge these are among the first studies on embodiment with bilingual samples. The suggestion that L1 and L2 are unlikely to be equally embodied will be investigated in a study designed to furnish a direct examination of how L1 and L2 are somatically grounded (a neglected feature of both the embodied literature as well as bilingualism research). Studies 2 to 4 investigate how embodied simulation may drive specific phenomena such language congruence effects, modality switching costs and false memories in L1 and L2. Studies 5 & 6 will provide a more ecologically valid indication of how affective and interpersonal states are manifested in spontaneous linguistic representations when using L1 and L2. Our findings are likely to advance our understanding of a number of central issues pertinent to the emerging field of embodiment and may lend additional support to the assumptions that cognition and language are grounded on bodily states. Second, this research will identify the constraints of such assumptions in an increasingly multilingual and multicultural world where the daily use of a second language for professional, recreational and interpersonal purposes is often required. This is likely to inform research and policies designed to address the current challenges posed by participating in two or more linguistic communities.

DEPORT REGIMES: 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.

Human trafficking trends in Ukraine

Authors Oleksii POZNIAK
Description
Ukraine’s involvement in global migration processes after the fall of the Iron Curtain and dissolution of the Soviet Union has been a simple fact. But one of the negative consequences of the outward labor migration of Ukrainian nationals has been that human trafficking emerged and became increasingly frequent. In the 1990s and the early 2000s, Ukraine was a country of origin and to some extent a country of transit for persons who found themselves in the situation of slavery. Over recent years Ukraine has increasingly become a country of destination for human-trafficking victims, while cases of domestic trafficking within Ukraine are also widespread.

Human trafficking in Moldova

Authors Vladimir GANTA
Description
Since Moldova declared its independence in 1992 and people gained the right to travel freely abroad, illegal migration and human trafficking became an important problem for the Government and its international partners. After the war against Russia, in Transnistria (1992) the Government lost control over the most industrialized part of the country and almost all the eastern border. Constant fights between prowestern and pro-russian parties, corruption created an environment where officials could use their positions to make fortunes by protecting organized crime. Poverty and lack of employment opportunities in Moldova made people desperately search for solutions in other countries. In this environment, many desperate people became victims of criminals (often protected by officials) who made fortunes by selling other humans for sex, begging, labour.

Description
Forced migration is the most pressing problem in terms of the territorial mobility of the Georgian population. Forced migration has varied over time. Mass-scale transfer of the local population by conquerors and forced migration to other countries (Iran, Turkey and Russia) took place in the past. But there was also further organized and disorganized migrations from these countries and individuals sought asylum in Georgia. Of course, we will examine only those flows that currently present a significant problem.

Human trafficking : Russia

Authors Irina IVAKHNUK, Vladimir IONTSEV
Description
In Russia the problem of human trafficking was acknowledged as a national security issue in the early 2000s, above all, in relation to the threat of terrorism. In March 2004 Russia ratified the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and Palermo Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children. In doing so Russia undertook a number of commitments against human trafficking. By that time there were already alarming estimates warning that Central and Eastern Europe, including the former Soviet Union, ranked second in the world in terms of human trafficking after south-east Asia [1] and every year around 175,000 women (1997 estimate) were taken from the region in human trafficking schemes [2]. Russia, according to expert estimates, may account for 20-30% of this flow [3], i.e. at least tens of thousands a year. These estimates do not take into account human trafficking in both women and men within the CIS region, i.e. large-scale flows of migrants illegally transferred from CIS countries to Russia for labor and sexual exploitation.

Refugees and forced migrants in Azerbaijan : the political context

Authors Sergey RUMYANSEV
Description
In the context of a conflict discourse, the factor of the existence of refugees and IDPs in the country becomes an important political resource. The authorities and the opposition actively use this factor in political fights and to strengthen their own positions. As a certain homogenous group, refugees and IDPS do not exist outside of the political discourse. Over the past 20 years, the refugee population has become strongly differentiated. A full resolution of issues related to this category of persons, and their de-politicization, is possible only in a situation of a lesser relevance of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

Forced migration in Belarus

Authors Liudmila SHAKHOTSKA, Anastacia BOBROVA
Description
There is limited information on the number of forced migrants from Belarus. Key information can be found in the statistical publications of the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Belarusian office of this organization gives the following explanation: “countries are guided by the principle of confidentiality of information submitted by an applicant. Public bodies of the asylum country have no right to transfer or provide any personal information about an application to his/her state of citizenship” (Delovaya Gazeta, 2013). According to UNHCR, the total number of persons from Belarus applying for refugee status, asylum or complementary protection was 6839 in 2011 and 6194 in 2012 (UNHCR, 2012; UNHCR, 2013). European countries (the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland) and the USA were their countries of preference. Some estimates are available at the websites of Eurostat and US National Security Agency. According to the data for 1998-2007, 16255 citizens of Belarus sought asylum in EU member states (Eurostat Statistics). The main recipient countries were Germany, the United Kingdom, Sweden, France, the Czech Republic and Austria. The US National Security Agency also posts data on Belarusian refugees who arrived in the US territory. According to its estimates, there were 2844 of them 2003-2012 (Department of Homeland Security: 2012)

Return, readmission and reintegration : the legal framework in Georgia

Authors Gaga GABRICHIDZE
Description
Georgian legislation in the field of migration is generally very liberal. This kind of approach finds its expression in the provisions on return from Georgia too. Though the legislation imposes an obligation on foreign citizens to leave the territory of Georgia before the expiry of the term of legal stay in Georgia, they get an additional 10 days within which they may leave Georgia without any legal consequences. Even after the 10 days term foreigners are allowed to leave Georgia voluntarily with the payment of a fine. Legislation establishes only two levels of fine: overstay for the period of 10 days up to 3 months and overstaying for over 3 months. The fact there is this option and the low fine in place (180 GEL/360 GEL is equal to 82 Eur/164 Eur) undermines the deterrent effect of these provisions. Besides, as to the consequences there are no difference between expulsion and forced expulsion. In both cases, a foreign citizen who has been expelled from Georgia will be denied a visa and a residence permit and refused entry to Georgia for one year. This provision does not facilitate voluntary departure within the term set by the Ministry of Justice.

Relationship policy with diaspora : Georgia

Authors Natia CHELIDZE
Description
Over 200 Georgian Diaspora organizations are operating abroad today. The majority of them take part in public and political life of the recipient country. At the same time, they are actively engaged in promoting and developing the Georgian culture, including the establishment of centers of culture, organization of Georgian language courses and creative associations, etc. Following the establishment of the Governmental Commission for migration issues1 in the fall of 2010, the institutional competencies of the state bodies in the area of migration have broadened. The improvement of the legislative base and the elaboration of relevant policy have followed. The national strategy for migration drafted by the Commission was approved in March 2013. Maintaining the relationship with the Diaspora has become an essential part of the Georgian migration policy.

Readmission, return and reintegration of migrants in Ukraine : socio-political context

Authors Ekateryna IVASCHENKO-STADNIK
Description
The ambivalent socio-political processes that have accompanied the formulation of the Ukrainianposition on the readmission of various migrant groups from the EU, CIS and other countries havedetermined a high risk of the formation of a marginalized readmission space33 in its territory. Despitethe slow but steady progress made in the discussion on and development of a multilateral legal framework in this field, the institutional and implementation gap between what is currently in place inUkraine and internationally accepted standards for readmission,return and reintegration remainsessential. The high levels of xenophobia among the population of Ukraine in relation to certain ethnic groups,35 heated by the radical nationalist movements gaining popularity, have created geopoliticaland societal conditions for the diversion of public perception in a direction unfavorable to the future ofthe Ukrainian state and society. The current actualization of the strategic goals of the ‘EasternPartnership’ could be an incentiefor Ukraine to harmonize its political and legal systems, as well asto mobilize public resources for the implementation of comprehensive reforms related to migration.36

Legal regulation of combat against human trafficking in the Russian Federation

Authors Vadim VOINICOV
Description
Human trafficking is a social phenomenon characterized by high public danger. Individual states and international community develop a set of legal and organizational measures to combat it. For instance, in accordance with the UN Protocol on prevention and suppression of human trafficking, measures aimed at combat against human trafficking include criminalization of this deed; protection of crime victims; assistance in repatriation; encouragement of international cooperation etc. The legal system regulating the fight against human trafficking in the Russian Federation comprises various legal measures; however most of them are of general nature, i.e. focused not only on prevention of human trafficking, but also on combat against other illegal acts. The only special measure is criminalization of deeds associated with human trafficking and use of slave labor. Therefore, analysis of the Russian national legislation indicates that the main emphasis in the fight against human trafficking is made on the use of criminal law mechanisms.

The issue of regulating migratory processes has drawn increasing attention in Georgia over the last few years. Entities are being established within different ministries and normative acts for regulating this sphere are being published. Recipient countries have to deport illegal immigrants back to their countries of origin. However, there are now attempts to make their return to the homeland, including, inter alia, their deportation, as humane as possible complying with internationally recognized human rights principles.
