Die Auswirkungen der globalen Wirtschaftskrise auf die (Re-)Migration in Zentralasien und Implikationen für die Regimestabilität in drei zentralasiatischen Staaten

Principal investigator Peter Croll (Principal Investigator)
Description
Since independence of the Central Asian states in the aftermath of the end of the of the USSR, their economic situation has markedly deteriorated. As a result, labor migration from Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan to Russia and Kazakhstan has significantly increased during the past two decades. This trend continues notwithstanding the cuts caused by the global economic crisis. Financed by the Gerda-Henkel-Foundation, BICC is conducting a pilot study which investigates mid- and long-term effects of labor migration on the development and stability of Tajik society.

Migration and Remittances in Central Asia: The Case of Kazakhstan and Tajikistan

Principal investigator Jürgen Jerger (Principal Investigator), Gulzhan Alimbekova (Principal Investigator), Muzaffar A. Olimov (Principal Investigator)
Description
The project aims to explore recent migration determinants and patterns in the Central Asian states Kazakhstan and Tajikistan on the individual and household level, and seeks to investigate the scope, transmission and use of remittances. It is planed to undertake a quantitative household survey and a qualitative interview study with respondents, who had actually migrated (ethno-survey). The analysis of these survey data is expected to produce and enhance knowledge in the field of migration and remittances in both countries and allow formulating policy relevant recommendations. Furthermore, the project is designed to strengthen research contacts between German and Central Asian researchers and to foster capacity building among scholars in Central Asia.

MACIMIDE Global Expatriate Dual Citizenship Database

Description
The MACIMIDE Global Expatriate Dual Citizenship Dataset charts the rules that existed in near all states of the world since 1960 with regard to the loss or renunciation of citizenship after a citizen of a respective state voluntarily acquires the citizenship of another state. The central variable of the Dataset is the dualcit_cat variable. This is a categorical variable whose values may be used to interpret, in broad lines, the position of a country with regards to the expatriate dual citizenship. The dualcit_cat variable reflects what consequences the legislation and legal practice of a country attaches to the voluntary acquisition of a foreign citizenship. The value of this variable depends on a number of criteria, including whether a citizen of the reference country who voluntarily obtains a foreign citizenship automatically loses – in principle – the citizenship of the origin country, and whether a citizen of the reference country can renounce that citizenship. The value assigned to dualcit_cat reflects the position of the country on the 1st of January of the reference year. Any subsequent changes in legislation will be reflected in the dualcit_cat value of the following year and included in updated versions of the Dataset. The dualcit_binary variable is a recoding of the dualcit_cat variable. This variable can be used for broad comparisons of the dual citizenship positions around the world. The possible values reflect whether the legislation of a country, in a given reference year, provides for the automatic loss of the origin citizenship (1) or not (2). All data have been centrally collected and refer to specific provisions in national law.

Faire circuler les morts. Etude des rituels et de l'économie funéraires post-socialistes en contexte migratoire

Principal investigator Juliette Cleuziou (Principal Investigator)
Description
En Asie centrale postsocialiste, les mobilités internationales orientées principalement vers la Russie se sont considérablement intensifiées depuis l’effondrement du bloc soviétique en 1991. Ces circulations migratoires s’accompagnent parfois, au gré des aléas des trajectoires, de la mort des migrants. Le projet REFPoM s’intéresse aux questions que posent justement les morts en mobilité en Russie et en Asie centrale (Ouzbékistan, Tadjikistan, Mongolie). Deux axes forts de recherche: les ajustements économico-rituels et la dimension politique liés à la «mort au loin« Les nouvelles territorialités des morts en migration témoignent des circulations inédites dans la région de par leur intensité et leur forme, autant qu'elle incitent les sociétés à innover, à penser de nouvelles pratiques rituelles et économiques pour y faire face. Ce projet souhaite les analyser selon deux axes d’études : a. « Reterritorialiser ses morts. Impératifs symboliques, rituels et économiques ». Il s’agit d’analyser les modalités symboliques, rituelles et économiques de la reterritorialisation des morts en mobilité qui, dans la majorité des cas, incluent le rapatriement du corps du défunt. Ici, en Asie centrale, et là, en Russie, les contraintes institutionnelles, politiques et économiques, contribuent à la création par les migrants et leurs familles de pratiques rituelles et économiques d’ajustement. L’analyse des décès des migrants centrasiatiques en Russie permettra ainsi de saisir les enjeux soulevés par les pratiques symboliques, rituelles et économiques de reterritorialisation auxquelles ils donnent lieu. Plus généralement, elle contribuera aux recherches portant sur ces « morts déterritorialisés ». b. « Rituels funéraires, construction mémorielle et résistance politique » Ce 2e axe de recherche s’intéresse à la construction mémorielle et la dimension politique de ces pratiques rituelles transnationales. L'une des originalités du projet REFPoM réside dans l’approche politique du phénomène : il s’agit d’aborder le rituel comme le lieu d’une micro-politique qui permet de saisir, au-delà des transformations symboliques et familiales, la manière dont les migrations et les processus politiques actuels affectent les relations des populations à leurs institutions. Ici, les notions de « tactique » (Certeau et Giard 2010) et d’« infra-politique » (Scott 2006) nous serviront de point de départ théorique pour analyser les rapports entre les groupes sociaux (les migrants, leurs familles, etc.) et les institutions qui les gouvernent.

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.

Prague Process Targeted Initiative

Description
The Research Team is supporting the PPTI Team in implementing Specific Objective 2 of the Prague Process Targeted Initiative: Knowledge Base. This objective builds on the results of the “Building Migration Partnerships” (BMP) project implemented in 2009-2011. Objective: The aim of this component is to maintain, update and/or further improve the BMP knowledge base, through gathering information in the form of Migration Profiles for countries in Eastern Europe, Southern Caucasus, Central Asia and Russia. Information and data gathering will be a continuous process throughout the whole implementation period with the purpose of collecting and analysing data, statistics and information on migration flows, trends and dynamics between the countries participating in the Prague Process. The information gathered will be presented in form of Migration Profiles and the i-Map. Activities: • Expert-level Workshop on data management/data and sources utilisation for the elaboration of Migration Profiles or other documents of similar nature • Expert Missions of a group of 3 EU experts nominated by the Project Steering Committee to the 11 participating beneficiary countries. The target of these missions: 1. To re-introduce the purpose of Migration Profiles, their history and format to the relevant state authorities both on policy and expert level; 2. To confirm existing or identify new responsible national bodies for development or update of the Migration Profiles and agree on the methodology and timeframe for development of the Migration Profiles; 3. To gather key information and data, identify existing gaps and propose solutions for how to address them on the national level; 4. To exchange information on selected thematic areas of the Action Plan of the Prague Process which are not covered by the 4 Pilot Projects of the Prague Process Targeted Initiative or to meet a request for information from Prague Process states which do not participate in the Specific Objective 2 Knowledge Base. • Elaboration of 4 and update of 7 existing migration profiles including additional research, expert input, data gathering and analysis. The Support team (ICMPD project team) will act as the help desk for the national authorities in charge of coordination of development of the Migration Profile and will ensure communication between the national authorities and experts from the leading states including ensuring translation of relevant documents in English and Russian language. The support team will collect and store all information and communication, translate relevant information into the PP Knowledge Base and the i-Map and will keep the Knowledge Base up-to-date. • 2 Study visits of 11 beneficiary states’ experts (1 expert on migration analysis and statistics for each state) to project partner states (Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Sweden). The purpose of the study visits is to get acquainted with the work of analytical units of the partner states (e.g. the Analytical Centre for Border Protection and Migration within the Ministry of Interior in the Czech Republic) Outcomes: • Interactive online i-Map updated and improved. • 4 beneficiary states' Migration Profiles developed and used. • 7 existing beneficiary states' Migration Profiles updated and used. • Strengthening the capacity of the 11 beneficiary states to gather and process data on migration.

UN Inquiry on population and development - International Migration

Description
The Inquiry gathers critically important data for monitoring the implementation of the Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development and other international agreements, including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Inquiry, mandated by the General Assembly in its resolution 1838 (XVII) of 18 December 1962, has been conducted by the Secretary-General at regular intervals since 1963. The Twelfth Inquiry consists of multiple-choice questions, organized in three thematic modules: Module I on population ageing and urbanization; Module II on fertility, family planning and reproductive health; and Module III on international migration. In 1994, Member States attending the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo agreed that “population-related goals and policies are integral parts of cultural, economic and social development” and recommended that actions be taken “to measure, assess, monitor and evaluate progress towards meeting the goals of its Programme of Action”. The year 2019 will mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Cairo conference and adoption of the ICPD Programme of Action, which continues to provide crucial guidance for addressing the fundamental development challenges facing the world today. Population issues are also at the core of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted in 2015. The United Nations Inquiry among Governments on Population and Development (the “Inquiry”) gathers critically important data for monitoring the implementation of the ICPD Programme of Action and other international agreements, including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Inquiry, mandated by the General Assembly in its resolution 1838 (XVII) of 18 December 1962, has been conducted by the Secretary-General at regular intervals since 1963. The most recent Inquiry, the Eleventh, was implemented in 2014.
