Integration policy and activities in Poland

Authors Renata STEFANSKA
Description
This report aims to present integration activities undertaken by state and non-state institutional actors at the national and local level in Poland. Up to now, the issue of immigrant integration in Poland has been neither a social nor a political problem, which can be explained in particular by the fact that foreigners constitute only a small portion of Polish society. A lack of interest in immigration by the wider public fosters the elaboration of integration-related policy in a more technocratic way, without pressure from politicians and the media. Despite the adoption of the strategic document “Poland’s Migration Policy – Current State of Play and Further Actions” by the Polish government in 2012 (supplemented by the action plan approved in 2014), Poland’s integration policy may still be regarded as not well-considered or developed. It is based largely on integration activities carried out by NGOs and is highly dependent on the availability of EU funds. Without this external funding, the majority of integration projects in Poland targeted at third country nationals, especially those not under international protection, could not be implemented.

Corridor report Germany

Authors Agnieszka WEINAR, Jan SCHNEIDER
Description
In this report we analyse the differences and similarities between the Turkish and Russian immigrants in Germany at the destination but also between the two countries of origin in order to assess their integration outcomes. We investigate the following question: what is the impact of the country of origin (Russia and Turkey) on integration outcomes in Germany? We found that the migrating groups have different characteristics (flows and stocks) and each group has been subject to a different entry policy, including different rights and obligations. In fact, the structural and policy factors at the destination are the key elements that influence the success of integration or failure of migrants. As regards the impact of the country of origin, understood as policies and practices targeting diaspora for better integration, it is negligible so far. The diaspora policies do not support integration. On the contrary, they aim at re-focusing migrants’ attention back to the country of origin. This policy can have positive ramifications for integration outcomes, e.g. when it supports Turkish migrants’ crossborder business activities or enhances Russian-language proficiency among the diaspora so that they can later on use it in international business environment. As our report shows, there is an important group of actors on various levels of governance that work to improve the final outcome. In the case of migrant organizations and organizations helping migrants in Germany, they form an additional arm of integration policy. Being close to migrants and having intimate knowledge of their integration needs, they focus on topics and fields of action that are most relevant for a successful migration story. They also form the most tangible bridge between the origin and destination.

Immigration of Ukrainians and Russians into Poland : inflow, integration trends and policy impacts

Authors Magdalena LESINSKA
Description
This report analyzes migration processes from Ukraine and Russia to Poland from the perspectives of the political frameworks existing in both the sending and receiving countries, with special attention to links between integration and diaspora policies and their roles in shaping migration flows and integration practices. The report is based on both quality and quantitative original research, including the exploratory survey targeted representatives of civil organizations working with migrants conducted in INTERACT project. The research confirms that there is a serious gap between the legal and institutional state’s frameworks, and their implementation in practice. The survey results confirm that in the case of Ukrainians and Russians migrants residing in Poland, there is a lack of evidence of any organized support from the country of origin and country of destination with respect to migrants’ integration in the receiving country.

Corridor report on Belgium : the case of Moroccan and Turkish immigrants

Authors Sonia GSIR, Jérémy MANDIN, Elsa MESCOLI
Description
This report compares two important corridor migrations to Belgium in order to better understand the variation in several dimensions of Turkish and Moroccan immigrants’ integration – in particular, labour market, education and citizenship. It is based on an original methodology combining three different data sources (an analysis of the legal and political frameworks, a quantitative analysis, and a survey). It aims to test the INTERACT project’s main hypothesis which conceives of integration as a three-way process. This report provides insight on integration from the immigration country perspective but also from the countries of origin; it appraises the impact that Turkey and Morocco may have on the integration of their migrants in Belgium. The main findings are the following. Firstly, the countries of origin may have an impact on integration when emigration starts. Secondly, countries of origin may have a positive or negative impact on some integration dimensions (citizenship) but no obvious impact on others (education and labour market). In their efforts to maintain and develop links and to protect migrants’ rights abroad, countries of origin can thus facilitate integration, but indirectly.

Mobile Welten. Zur Migration der Dinge in transkulturellen Gesellschaften

Principal investigator Sophia Prinz (Principal Investigator ), Hans-Peter Hahn (Principal Investigator ), Sabine Schulze (Principal Investigator )
Description
Unzählige Dinge wandern über den Erdball – unter anderem in Form von Handelsware, als virtuelle Gestalten auf Computerbildschirmen oder auch im Gepäck von Touristen oder Migranten. Im Verlauf dieser Wanderbewegung kann sich die Bedeutung der Dinge, aber auch ihre Gestalt verändern. Doch was signalisiert das Trikot der kroatischen Nationalmannschaft, wenn es von einem Jungen in Raqqa getragen wird? Und was wird aus dem Container, wenn ihn Flüchtlinge bewohnen? Eine moderne Gesellschaft lebt am Schnittpunkt zahlreicher Waren- und Migrationsströme und bildet zwangsläufig eine transkulturelle Ordnung der Dinge aus. Im Rahmen dieses prekären Gemenges verbinden, überlagern oder stören sich Formen unterschiedlichster Herkunft. Manche Dinge – der Kruzifix, das Kopftuch oder bestimmte deutsche Automarken – eignen sich zur Verstärkung kollektiver Identitäten oder provozieren, als Kehrseite der Medaille, vehemente Abwehrreaktionen. Daneben gibt es bedeutungsoffene Formen, die sich auf vielfältige Weise aneignen und umarbeiten lassen: Melodien, Speisen, Sportarten oder Mode. Zudem umfasst materielle Kultur eine große Zahl von Gebrauchsgegenständen, deren transkulturelle Herkunft selten bedacht, geschweige denn explizit wahrgenommen wird – wie Porzellan, Teppiche, Lackwaren, Parfum oder Shampoo. Dieses Alltäglich-Zuhandene schmuggelt sich in die Lebenswelten, wobei es diese unbemerkt umkrempelt. Somit bezeugt die transkulturelle Gegenwart der Dinge nicht nur verschiedenste Wahrnehmungs- , Denk- und Handlungsweisen, sondern prägt diese auch mit.

Soziologischer Neoinstitutionalismus und Bayessche Netze: Ein Analyserahmen zur Modellierung von Migrationsentscheidungen im ländlichen Kasachstan

Principal investigator Gertrud Buchenrieder (Principal Investigator ), Thomas Herzfeld (Principal Investigator )
Description
Bis heute gibt es keine umfassende Theorie, die alle Migrationsprozesse in ihrer Komplexität erklären kann. Aus diesem Grund wenden wir eine Theorie mittlerer Reichweite an, um Ansätze der unterschiedlichen Sozial- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften miteinander in einem Analyserahmen zu verknüpfen. Solch ein Analyserahmen, muss über den einzelnen Migranten hinausgehen und fähig sein, Faktoren aus der politischen Ökonomie mit einzubeziehen, um die Mikroebene analytisch mit politischen, ökonomischen, und sozialen Faktoren der höherer Ebenen zu verknüpfen. Der Analyserahmen basiert auf dem Soziologischen Neoinstitutionalismus und erlaubt es, die Entscheidungsfindung im Migrationsprozess zu untersuchen, da er das Handeln einzelner Akteure innerhalb von Strukturen beschreibt und unterschiedliche Ebenen der Analyse verbindet. Neoinstitutionalismus ist transdisziplinär zwischen den Politik-, Sozial- und Geisteswissenschaften angesiedelt. Aus diesen Gründen ist der Soziologische Neoinstitutionalismus hervorragend geeignet, das komplexe Geflecht von Faktoren, welches die Migrationsentscheidung des Akteurs beeinflusst, in einem einzelnen kohärenten Analyserahmen zu untersuchen. Allerdings fordert ein derartiger Analyserahmen ein methodisches Werkzeug, welches in der Lage ist, die verschiedenen Faktoren der unterschiedlichen Ebenen simultan zu modellieren. Ein Bayessches Netz ist solch ein innovatives Instrument. Es kann die systemische Komplexität der Migrationsentscheidung modellieren und die Verflechtungen der unterschiedlichen Faktoren aufdecken und so neue Wege aufzeigen, wie Migrationsentscheidungen durch mögliche Politikmaßnahmen beeinflusst werden könnten. Regional konzentriert sich der Antrag auf Kasachstan. Kasachstan ist der ökonomische Motor in Zentralasien und ist durch eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher und faszinierender Migrationsbewegungen, welche teilweise politisch initiieret wurden, geprägt, z. B. Einwanderung, Auswanderung, Wiedereinbürgerung, und Wanderungsbewegung innerhalb der eignen Grenzen. Hier fokussieren wir uns auf Migration innerhalb von Kasachstan. Diese Art der Migration wurde nicht nur in Kasachstan sondern weltweit in der Forschung innerhalb der letzten Jahrzehnte zugunsten länderübergreifender Migrationsbewegungen vernachlässigt. Durch die Anwendung eines neuen analytischen Forschungsrahmens und einer neuen Methode innerhalb einer sehr migrations-aktiven Region, hoffen wir die Migrationsforschung nicht nur in den Bereichen der Theorie- und Methodenentwicklung voranzubringen, sondern auch zu neuen empirischen Ergebnissen zu gelangen.

World Population Policies Database

Description
Since the mid-1970s, the World Population Policies Database, last updated in 2015, provides comprehensive and up-to-date information on the population policy situation and trends for all Member States and non-member States of the United Nations. Among several areas, the database shows the evolution of government views and policies with respect to internal and international migration. The migration strand covers internal migration, immigration, emigration, and return. The Database is updated biennially by conducting a detailed country-by-country review of national plans and strategies, programme reports, legislative documents, official statements and various international, Inter-governmental and non-governmental sources, as well as by using official responses to the United Nations Inquiry among Governments on Population and Development.
