This book draws attention to the various factors that characterize
migrant flows and mobilities, calling into question familiar
concepts such as push and pull, migration as a life project and
sociocultural integration. It highlights processes such as fl
exible migrant routes, temporary and return migration, mental
aspects of migration processes and transnationalism, which are
organised around the themes of shaping trajectories, frictions in
space, and the migrant mental framework. It brings together work
from scholars from Europe and beyond, with the contributions
collected emphasizing the social and mental processes that underpin
the migratory process, which can be seen as the 'soft side' of
migration. Too often, this side is neglected when the governance of
migration is discussed. The novel ideas expressed here also help to
overcome the mechanistic view of migration as a push-pull event.
Thus, the book suggests a different understanding of migration and
mobility as relational, non-linear and fluid social processes,
characterized by instability in migrant life trajectories.
Emphasizing the fl exibility of migrants and migration and
advocating the importance of emotionally charged, individual
perceptions as central to migrant decision-making, it will appeal
to scholars of sociology, anthropology, politics and geography with
interests in migration and diaspora studies.
In an era of globalization and demographic transition international
migration has become an important issue for European governments.
The past decades have seen an increasing and diversifying flow of
migrants from different parts of the world, including many from
South, Southeast and East Asia. It has become apparent that in
several European countries the demand for workers in certain
sectors of the labour market is increasing and that Asia has become
the source for these workers. This collection explores the
phenomenon of Asian immigration in Europe, particularly focusing on
the ways in which Asian immigrants gain access to local labour
markets. The book includes studies of several countries including
Germany, France and the United Kingdom - shedding light on the
labour market positions of different ethnic groups within Europe.
Asian Migrants and European Labour Markets will interest scholars
in the field of labour economics, population and migration studies
and international business.
The debate on international migration and development currently
focuses on South-North migration, transnationalism, remittances and
knowledge transfer. The potential positive role of migration for
countries and regions the emigrants originate from has recently
been acknowledged by, among others, the World Bank, United Nations
Commissions and the International Organisation for Migration (IOM).
This volume addresses the question: to what extent and under what
conditions does international migration contribute to local and
national development? By presenting novel insights and themes on
the basis of new empirical evidence from various countries, this
volume is an indispensable addition to the international discussion
on migration.
This book concentrates on the role of commercialized intermediary
actors in migration. It seeks to understand how these actors shape
migration and mobility patterns through the services they offer. In
addressing the role that migration industries play in migration,
the book uses diverse examples such as labour market brokers and
recruitment agencies from Eastern Europe to the United Kingdom;
Latvian migration to Norway; super-rich lifestyle brokers;
international students agents; the Global Mobility Industry for
corporate expatriates; skilled migrant intermediaries; and those
providing services to West African migrants coming to Europe or
Indonesians leaving for Malaysia. Through these examples, the
contributors examine the actors in migration industries, showing
how they respond to and shape migration trends. They also consider
how migration industries operate, manoeuvre and interact with
government policy on migration management. Finally, the book looks
at how migration industries enable certain forms of migration
through enticement, facilitation and control, translating into
specific migration trajectories and im/mobility. Providing examples
from across the world, this book analyses how charities,
businesses, sub-contractors, informal recruitment agencies, and
other actors help to shape migration processes, and it will be of
interest to those studying not only the causes of migration, but
also the migration process itself. This book was originally
published as a special issue of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration
Studies.
