The Libyan Migration Corridor

Authors Sylvie BREDELOUP, Olivier PLIEZ
Description
Since the mid 1990s, the media have directed our attention to the thousands of Southern Sahara Africans who take life threatening risks crossing the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic ocean. Their numbers on migratory routes leading to Europe are increasing, joining up, especially in the “Libyan crossroad” with North Africans, Egyptians and even Asian migrants on the same quest. This image reflects reality, but only partially so, for it leads one to believe that these migrants cross the Sahara in the hope of reaching Europe. It should be pointed out that one of the main misunderstandings when evoking these migrations flows is to reduce them to the act of crossing the straits of the Mediterranean Sea. Since the 1990s, the Libyan case exemplifies the way the multilateral (EU-Maghreb) or bilateral (Libya-Italy) political negotiations between the two shores of the Mediterranean sea rapidly focus on the figure of the “illegal sub-Saharan migrant in transit”. This simplistic view is dangerous because it erases the historical dimension of the movement of people and its consequences. The Sahara is not merely a desert to be crossed; it is an area that has been shaped for more than half a century by the various migrant, trader or pastoral communities who have contributed to its massive urbanisation and economic development. At the same time, the reorganization of African migration is affected by the inflation of tensions, border and police controls, the diversification of routes between Niger, Chad Sudan and Libya consequently contributes to the perpetuation of transit spaces. There are tens of thousands of these migrants who settle down more or less durably in these new transit areas dependants on opportunity, status controls, and expulsions. But these transit areas have also become places where migrants seek employment, create new economic activities, or develop new skills while working, studying or practicing other tongues. As migration patterns across the Sahara are reconfigured, the impact is more visible in some places. But their durability should not be taken for granted. Villages specialised in the transit economy may easily decline as new diplomatic relations are formed between countries of immigration and third countries.

​KNOMAD-ILO Migration Costs Surveys

Description
he KNOMAD-ILO Migration Costs Surveys (MCS) aim to systematically document monetary and non-monetary costs incurred by migrant workers seeking jobs abroad. The project is a joint initiative by the Global Knowledge Partnership on Migration and Development (KNOMAD), which is hosted at the World Bank, and the International Labor Organization (ILO). The data is also intended to support methodological work on developing a new Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) indicator 10.7.1 to monitor trends in recruitment costs paid by workers, of which the World Bank and ILO are joint custodians. Datasets and documentation for the 2015 and 2016 survey waves are now available on the World Bank’s Central Microdata Catalog. Collectively, the surveys covered over 19 bilateral migration corridors with a total of 5,603 interviewed migrants. The Migration Costs Surveys primarily focused on costs incurred by workers who were recruited in their home countries and received a job offer prior to migrating. On a pilot basis, several migration corridors were also surveyed to account for non-recruited migrants who moved abroad in search of work without prior job offers. In the 2015 dataset, these are limited to workers who migrated to Mexico from Guatemala, Honduras and El-Salvador and in 2016, the relevant corridors are workers who migrated to Italy from multiple African countries and from Central Asia to Russia.

The objective is to create a global, extended university network with the mission to monitor the entrepreneurship in migration corridors, define obstacles and support the corridor stakeholders with information and tuition. Essential is close contacts with diaspora entrepreneurs and diaspora organizations are systematically approached through workshops and media, for involving diaspora organizations as active partners.

Conceptualising the integration-transnationalism nexus

Authors Ruby GROPAS, Anna TRIANDAFYLLIDOU, Laura BARTOLINI
Description
In this paper, we discuss the ways in which integration, transnationalism and the relationships between the two have been conceptualised. Given the diversity in scope and in intensity that characterises transnational mobility, we suggest that there is a need to revisit the various facets of the interconnections between the two phenomena and take into account new variables to explain: under what circumstances migrants engage in transnational mobility; in what ways does their integration in the society of settlement influence this engagement; what sort of transfers are being made; and in what ways are the particular characteristics of each migration corridor relevant for the link between integration and transnational mobility. We thus define the boundaries of our research and critically analyse the available quantitative strategies for addressing the multidimensional nature of the integration-transnational mobility matrix.

The Irregular Migration Corridor between the EU and Turkey: Is it Possible to Block it with a Readmission Agreement?

Authors Ahmet İÇDUYGU
Description
Over the last decade while a shift from migrantion control to migration management has become an integral part of the EU-based political discources and policy practices relating to irregular migration, the issues of transit migration and readmission agreements seem to be high on the agenda. Within this context, the debate over irregular transit migration from Turkey to the EU is a perfect case study for analyzing how the phenomenon of irregular migration is affecting the European migration and border regimes. It is also an interesting case for analyzing the interplay between the migration-related issues and the EU-Turkey membership negotiations in which the whole notion of “migration management” turns into a type of conditionality measure for the progress and completion of the membership talks. This essay aims at elaborating the recent status of irregular migratory flows from Turkey to Europe referring to their changing volumes, trends and patterns. It also aims at relating the irregular migration through Turkey to the recently negotiated Readmission Agreement between the EU and Turkey which targets the return of apprehended irregular transit migrants in the EU member states to Turkey. In doing so, this essay intends to elaborate the ways in which the irregular transit migration in Turkey has impact on the European migration and border regimes.

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.
