Unaccompanied immigrant minors in the Canary Islands: A legal approach

Description
The Canary Islands have received significant numbers of unaccompanied minors, especially during 2006. This pheno-menon has resulted in the need to develop an appropriate policy response across the Spanish State and the European Union. The proposals to establish special protected status for unaccompanied migrant children have generated con-siderable controversy within the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands, since it has assumed competence for taking the necessary measures for the protection of minors within its territory. This paper provides an overview of the relevant legislation and policies on reception, return and integration applicable to unaccompanied minors, analysing the difficulties that policymakers must take into account as they address the phenomenon of child migration

Ambiguity in Foreign Language Vocabulary Learning

Description
Understanding the pattern of interactions between the languages of multilingual speakers, and the mechanisms supporting efficient learning of a foreign-language are imperative in today's global society. For one, the majority of individuals in the world use more than one language in their daily lives. Second, many individuals are required to learn a foreign-language as adults, to be able to acquire higher education, to advance in the work place, and the like. Developing efficient instruction methods is thus an essential endeavour. The proposed work will address both of these issues, focusing on learning and representation of words. The mapping between lexical-form and word meaning(s) is often ambiguous both within a language and across languages. Such indirect mappings pose particular difficulty for vocabulary learning, because learners need to achieve stable links between the to-be-learned lexical form and an unequivocal specification of its meaning. The proposed project focuses on this challenge, and examines it's consequences for first-language representation. The first objective is therefore to explore the consequences of foreign-language vocabulary learning on meaning representation of first-language words. Such backward influences are theoretically important because they speak to the dynamic and interconnected nature of the bilingual lexicon. The second objective is to improve foreign-language vocabulary learning by (1) identifying ambiguity types that create challenges for learning, and (2) test different instruction methods tailored at alleviating the difficulty associated with these ambiguity types. The third objective is to examine how learner's characteristics interact with this particular complexity. We focus on (1) individual differences in working memory span and the ability to ignore irrelevant information and on (2) language experience, comparing how monolingual and multilingual speakers deal with ambiguity in learning.

Beargwöhnt und benötigt: Westemigranten zwischen USA-Exil und DDR

Principal investigator Martin Sabrow (Principal Investigator)
Description
Ziel des Buchprojektes mit dem Arbeitstitel "Beargwöhnt und benötigt: Westemigranten zwischen USA-Exil und DDR" ist die Untersuchung von Lebenswegen deutscher kommunistischer Emigranten, die nach 1945 nach Ostdeutschland zurückkehrten, um dort eine sozialistische Gesellschaft aufzubauen. Die Materialgrundlage bilden zu einem großen Teil Archivalia aus den USA und Deutschland, darunter Akten des FBI sowie Personalakten aus dem Bundesarchiv und der BStU. Das Projekt möchte den individuellen und kollektiven Erfahrungen nachgehen, wie sie sich im Leben und Werk dieser ostdeutschen Kommunisten niederschlugen.Die hier zu behandelnde Gruppe umfasst etwa vierzig Akteure (rund siebzig unter Einschluss der Angehörigen), die zwischen 1938 und 1945-48 in den USA lebten. Zu ihr gehörten prominente, auch berühmte Schriftsteller, Künstler und Wissenschaftler wie Bertolt Brecht, Ernst Bloch, Hanns und Gerhart Eisler, Henryk Grossmann, Stefan Heym, Alfred Kantorowicz und Samuel Mitja Rapoport. Nicht alle waren Mitglieder der KPD, aber alle gehörten zu Netzwerken, die um die Partei herum bestanden. Inwieweit die doppelte Wahrnehmung der USA als Zufluchtsland wie als Gesellschaft rigider Rassentrennung ihre Urteile über das Land beeinflusste, wird ebenfalls diskutiert.In Ostdeutschland waren die Rückkehrer willkommen. Sie wurden benötigt, doch zugleich waren und blieben sie beargwöhnt. Ihre Fähigkeiten auf wissenschaftlichem und künstlerischem Gebiet waren von ihren Exilerfahrungen im Hauptland des "westlichen Imperialismus" nicht zu trennen. Die sogenannten Westemigranten mussten sich in einer Gesellschaft einrichten, deren Normen vorrangig von solchen Kommunisten vorgegeben wurden, die aus der Sowjetunion zurückgekehrt waren oder die Nazizeit in Konzentrationslagern oder Zuchthäusern überlebt hatten. Während viele Rückkehrer aus den USA in den Bereichen Literatur, Kunst und Wissenschaft oder in den Medien sehr erfolgreich waren, schlugen nur sehr wenige, genannt sei Albert Norden, die politische Laufbahn ein.Zentrale Fragen der geplanten Monographie sind: 1.) Welche Entwürfe für ein Nachkriegsdeutschland entwickelte das kommunistische Exil in den USA?2.) Warum entschieden sich die Remigranten im Zeitalter des Systemkonfliktes für die SBZ/DDR und nicht für die Bundesrepublik?3.) Erzeugte die Exilerfahrung ein gemeinsames "kulturelles Gepäck", das die Westemigranten als Gruppe in der DDR erkennbar oder verdeckt gemeinsam prägte?4.) Wie schlug sich die Kaderpolitik der SED mitsamt den politischen "Säuberungen" der 1950er Jahren in den individuellen Erfahrungen und Handlungsspielräumen der Remigranten nieder? Welche Positionen errangen oder behaupteten sie in späteren Jahren?

Hochqualifizierte Ausländer in nordrhein-westfälischen Städten

Principal investigator Carmella Pfaffenbach (Principal Investigator ), Günther Weiss (Principal Investigator ), Claus-Christian Wiegandt (Principal Investigator )
Description
- Zur Eingliederung der Migranten in die städtischen Gesellschaften vor dem Hintergrund kommunaler Integrations- und Internationalisierungspolitiken In dem beantragten Forschungsvorhaben soll untersucht werden, in welcher Weise sich hochqualifizierte Migranten in die Stadtgesellschaften eingliedern. Die Eingliederung wird zum einen aus der Perspektive der Migranten und zum anderen aus Sicht der Akteure der kommunalen Integrationspolitik beleuchtet. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die Fragen, welche Strategien die Migranten zur Eingliederung entwickeln, welche Netzwerke vor Ort geknüpft werden und wie der neue städtische Raum wahrgenommen und genutzt wird. Auf kommunaler Ebene werden die städtischen Integrations- und Internationalisierungspolitiken sowie die Entwicklung entsprechender Maßnahmen oder Angebote für diese Gruppe untersucht. Durch die Betrachtung verschiedener Berufsgruppen in den vier Untersuchungsstädten Bonn, Düsseldorf, Essen und Köln wird ermöglicht, die Eingliederungsprozesse unter verschiedenen Rahmenbedingungen zu untersuchen. Auf Basis von qualitativen Interviews wird die Situation ausländischer „Bohemiens“ (u.a. Künstler und Publizisten) und „kreativer Professionals“ (u.a. Manager, leitende Angestellte) erarbeitet. Die Perspektive der kommunalen Ebene wird durch Gespräche mit Experten aus den Stadtverwaltungen und Interessenvertretungen und zudem durch ein Monitoring der Integrationspolitik untersucht. Konzeptionell verknüpft die Untersuchung individuelle Handlungsperspektiven der Migranten mit der Ebene der kommunalen Politik.

Social capital and the educational achievement of young people: A study of Swedish school system in transition

Principal investigator Alireza Behtoui (REMESO Project Leader), Anders Neergaard (Participants from REMESO), Sabine Gruber (Participants from REMESO)
Description
Studies of educational stratification show that children from advantaged backgrounds (more economic and cultural capital) attain higher educational merits than others. Recent research in educational stratification incorporates social capital as an additional factor with a significant impact on school achievement. The aim of this project is to examine, in a Swedish context, how access to social capital affects the educational performance of young people from different backgrounds (class, gender, and ethnicity), through the following research questions: Which characteristics of young people affect their access to social capital? Does social capital offset limited access to economic and cultural capital and contribute to better educational outcomes for young people of lower socioeconomic and/or immigrant origin? By what mechanisms does social capital improve individuals educational achievements?

UniteEurope: ICT tools and the e-governance of immigrant integration

Description
UniteEurope; the role of ICT-tools in the E-Governance of Immigrant Integration (FP7 project) UniteEurope aims at giving the main actors of integration – immigrants and members of the host societies – a voice by analysing public Social Media contents generated by citizens. This bottom-up approach allows revealing urban integration issues as they are actually experienced by those concerned. Thereby, the UniteEurope tool is meant to enable local decision makers to identify focal points, but also positive developments, as well as to initiate effective, efficient and sustainable integration measures and policies. An extensive in-depth analysis of urban administration as well as integration issues and measures, mainly gathered by qualitative methods of social research, should serve as the basis for software development. In close cooperation between social scientists and IT-specialists, an integration issue grid model with multi-layer logic patterns will be used for consistent categorisation of relevant integration areas (e.g. education, business, culture, etc.) in cities. Coherent layers with multilingual semantic tags, significant sources and parameters will make up the logical core of the tool. UniteEurope supports operational integration measures and strategic policy development at regional and pan-European level. The UniteEurope team consists of experts in E-Government, Social Media and integration from leading universities and competence centres, as well as system architects, software developers, companies, cities and NGOs from Austria, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden. The team is counselled by international NGOs dealing with immigration, integration and asylum issues. The UniteEurope project is coordinated by INSET from Austria. The Erasmus University Research team is primarily involved with the social-scientific analysis of integration issues and local integration policies on which the ICT tools for social media analysis are to be developed.

Evaluation of the Immigrant Citizens Survey

Description
The project, coordinated by the King Baudouin Foundation, and the research, coordinated by the Migration Policy Group, involves ICMPD as evaluators of a recent survey of immigrants in seven European countries: Belgium, Denmark, France, Italy, Hungary, Portugal and Spain. The "Immigrant Citizens Survey" asks legally resident third country nationals to assess their own needs and evaluate how these needs have and could be met by public interventions. The survey addresses several areas of integration: the labour market and recognition of qualifications, family life, security of residence, access to general services, education, civic participation, access to nationality, and anti-discrimination and profiling.

Immigration for employment index (IMMEX)

Description
The index focuses on labour immigration (and related rights) in the EU27. The data reflect the policies in place by 1st of January 2012. IMMEX analyses admission schemes for migrant workers, looking at both general-worker schemes and schemes for high-skilled migrants. The index, which has been developed by the Migration Policy Group (MPG), addresses four domains: identification needs; conditions of admission; security of status acquired; rights associated with status. Dimensions are assessed through a set of indicators and policy options (principles of human rights and good governance). The policy options are designed to capture the scope of immigration policies with the first option representing favourable terms laid down in existing international legal instruments, national practices or NGO proposals, and in some instances EC legislation (enacted and proposed). The second and third options are based on less favourable or unfavourable provisions of EC legislation (enacted or proposed) or national legislation. Legal experts in each of the EU27 countries were asked to assess which of the three policy options comes closest to the situation in their respective country. The index is presented by scheme and country, for general migrant workers and high-skilled migrant workers.

Discourse connectives and the mind: a cross-linguistic analysis of processing and acquisition

Description
'Discourse connectives like ‘because’ or ‘so’ in English can be used to relate various kinds of propositional contents, such as two events unfolding in the world (The temperature rises because the sun is shining) or a premise and a conclusion in the mind of a speaker (Max is ill because he didn’t come to work). The proposed study will make use of an array of state-of-the-art empirical methods such as eye-tracking, comprehension experiments, constrained elicitation and corpus analysis in order to investigate the cognitive differences between these different uses of connectives along four complementary axes: their acquisition by normally-developing children and children suffering from autism, their processing by adult speakers, and a cross-linguistic comparison between closely related languages. In addition to enriching our knowledge of the way connectives work, the planned studies will provide answers to several on-going scientific debates with far-reaching implications, both applied and theoretical. In the domain of language acquisition, they will provide important answers for the debate on the relation between language and cognition, and more specifically on the role of children’s mother tongue as a trigger for language acquisition and cognitive development. These studies will also reveal possible differences in processing between school-age children and adults, with important pedagogical implications for syllabus design and the evaluation of textual productions. In the field of autism, they will bring an important contribution to the understanding of the linguistic and communicative impairment of this population. Finally, the cross-linguistic comparisons will contribute to the development of a collaborative multilingual database of connectives, containing a more accurate representation of their meaning than the one found in bilingual dictionaries.'

Beyond cynicism and bare life: practices of citizenship against migrants' inclusive exclusion

Description
'The proposed research addresses themes of current social relevance, such as the politics of migration and its governance, and their relation to emerging forms of engaged citizenship and sovereignty. The researcher shall investigate ethnographically modes of protest and solidarity that seek to contrast states' regulation of migrant movement (with a special focus on detention and deportation), and labour regimes based on the disposability of migrant bodies in contemporary Europe. Forms of resistance and flight are widespread across different EU countries, and take the form of attempted escapes from detention centres, hunger strikes, dirty protests, the sowing of one's lips, and episodes of self-harming, as well as labour strikes and dramatic acts that capture media attention, such as the occupation of rooftops and the climbing of cranes. Anti-racist solidarity networks are also active in supporting undocumented migrants, through demonstrations, boycotts, and the provision of alternative media coverage on the issue. The research will take Italy as the main research location, but a comparative perspective will be brought into the project by creating an interdisciplinary research network gathering scholars who work on related issues across Europe. The project will investigate the relationship between subjective experiences of migration, detention, protest and solidarity, in the light of multiple historical trajectories and personal narratives. Affective and intimate relations will be explored together with the workings of institutions and structures of power, their limitations and possible alternative modes of sociality.'

Channels and Consequences of Knowledge Flows from Developed Economies to Central and Eastern Europe

Description
In this project, I study how economic development is shaped by cross-country knowledge flows via trade, foreign direct investment (FDI), and other channels. Using novel micro data for several Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries, I measure the quantitative importance of three channels: technical knowledge embodied in imported machinery, technical and organizational knowledge embodied in expatriate managers, and disembodied knowledge transfers taking place within multinational firms. I then analyze what impact foreign knowledge has on the firms and the workers of the host economy, and what are its implications for aggregate productivity and income inequality. The project relies on several existing databases for Hungary and Romania, which will be complemented with newly purchased, collected and compiled data. The outcome of the project will be seven research studies and a collection of firm-level data sets covering CEE countries, including a large cross-country firm survey on the local supplier linkages of multinational companies. My proposed project improves upon the state of the art in four ways. First, as a comprehensive study using novel micro data, it uncovers new facts about the relative importance of the channels of knowledge flows. Second, it improves the identification of causal effects relative to existing studies by exploiting the detailed micro data. Third, it uses the micro estimates to quantify the aggregate impact of foreign knowledge on the economy. Fourth, it discusses how foreign knowledge affects different firms and workers differently, and, more specifically, how it may contribute to income inequality. More broadly, the research findings help evaluate the relative efficacy of trade, FDI, and immigration policies in promoting economic growth and can inform theories about the channels and barriers of productivity convergence.

"Monitoring modernity: A comparative analysis of practices of social imagination in the monitoring of global flows of goods, capital and persons"

Description
'This project aims to study institutions specialized in visualizing society. Such institutions have proliferated in recent decades. From regulatory bodies to auditing institutions and regimes of supervision, from monitoring agencies to surveillance apparatuses, social life is full of reflexive spaces specialized in the visualization of that social life. Much of social theory assumes that societies exist on the basis of a work of imagination, yet very little comparative cross-sectional work exists on such ‘social imagination’. Much can be learned about social life when the institutions it brings forth to observe that social life are observed sociologically. In four subprojects, this research investigates: 1) How societies are imagined through the visualization of the border between society and nature, particularly in the context of the assessment of global flows of goods in: a) measurements of climate change, and b) the visualization of the economy and its implicit understanding of nature as mediated through production; 2) How economic borders, risks and responsibilities are imagined by the regulation and oversight of global flows of capital; 3) How national societies are imagined by the social scientific measurement of global flows of persons, notably immigrants in the assessment of their integration; 4) How the social space of the EU is imagined by the surveillance of global flows of persons, notably irregular migrants, by means of specialized EU-databases. This project is innovative in three ways. First, it is the first comparative cross-sectional study of the professionalized practice of the ‘imaginary constitution of society’. Second, it integrates theories and methods from various fields. Third, it renews understanding of the practical assemblage of imagined collectives such as ‘national societies’, and contributes to ‘globalization theory’ by analyzing the everyday routinized ways in which ‘global assemblages’ produce plausible boundaries and localities.'

Type 2 diabetes and obesity among sub-Saharan African native and migrant populations: dissection of environment and endogenous predisposition

Description
Migration from Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) to Europe is increasing. The limited evidence suggests that the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity among SSA migrants is higher than among their SSA peers living in Africa and European host populations. The reasons for these observations are only poorly understood, but may involve migration-related changes in lifestyle, genetic predisposition as well as pe¬culiarities in perceptions and practises. Contrasting the increasing number of African migrants in Europe, the health status and needs of these populations remain largely unexamined, and have only insufficiently been integrated into national plans, policies and strategies. Implementation of tailored intervention programmes among migrants implic¬itly requires the identification and the disentanglement of environmental, lifestyle and genetic factors modifying T2D and obesity risk. The RODAM project addresses these fundamental health issues among a homogeneous, and one of the largest SSA migrant groups in Europe (i.e. Ghanaians). RODAM thus aims to contribute to the understanding of the complex interplay between environment, lifestyle, (epi)genetic as well as social factors in T2D and obesity among SSA immigrants, and to identify specific risk factors to guide intervention and prevention and to provide a basis for improving diagnosis and treatment. In a multi-centre study, 6,250 Ghanaians aged >25 years will be re¬cruited in rural and urban Ghana, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK. The differences in prevalence rates within Ghana on the one hand, and three European countries on the other, will allow us to unravel environmental, lifestyle and (epi)genetic as well as social factors in relation to T2D and obesity. The proposed study will generate relevant results that will ultimately guide intervention programmes and will provide a basis for improving diagnosis and treatment among SSA migrants in Europe as well as in their counterparts in Africa and beyond.

Cerna’s High-Skilled Immigrants openness index

Description
Cerna’s index measures openness and restrictiveness of migration policies targeting high-skilled migrants. The index covers 2007 and 2012 and provides information on 20 countries. Countries are selected on the basis of different migration histories and experiences and levels of (economic) interest groups’ involvement in policy-making. The index is disaggregated into admissions mechanism and work permit rights (made up of six indicators: numerical caps, labour market test, labour protection, employer portability, spouse’s work rights and permanent residency rights). Scores are assigned to each of the six categories from 3 (=highly restrictive), 2 (=moderately restrictive), 1 (=minimally restrictive) to 0 (=highly open). All policies are ranked on the same criteria. The individual points for the six categories are then added and converted into an index, where the most restrictive country receives a value of 100.
