Migration is one of the most vexing policy issues of our time. In
this Handbook the editors have assembled an all-star cast of
scholars to look at the many dimensions of migration policy. The
book breaks new ground and it will be required reading for anyone
seriously interested in how and why states seek to control the
movement of people across borders.' - James F. Hollifield, Southern
Methodist University, USIn this comprehensive Handbook, an
interdisciplinary team of distinguished scholars from the social
sciences explores the connections between migration and social
policy. They test conflicting claims as to the positive and
negative effects of different types of migration against the
experience of countries in Europe, North America, Australasia, the
Middle East and South Asia, assessing arguments as to migration s
impact on the financial, social and political stability and
sustainability of social programs. The volume reflects the authors'
curiosity about the controversy over the connection between social
and cultural diversity and popular support for the welfare state.
Providing timely and original chapters which both critique the
existing literature as well as build on and advance theoretical
understanding, the authors focus on the formal settlement and
integration polices created for migrants as well as corollary state
policies affecting migrants and migration. A clutch of chapters
investigates the linkage between migration and trade theory,
foreign direct investment, globalization, public opinion, public
education and welfare programs. Chapters then deal with leading
receiving states as well as India and the authors examine the
regulation of migration at the subnational, national, regional and
global levels. The topic of migration and security is also covered.

Podcast host, spiritual director, and bestselling author of The
Next Right Thing, Emily P. Freeman, offers guidance to help us
recognize when it’s time to move on from situations that no
longer serve us, allowing us to find new spaces where we can
flourish and grow. Emily P. Freeman has built a loyal and growing
audience who turn to her for practical advice and wisdom on the
topic of discernment—figuring out the right direction for their
lives and the steps necessary to get there. In her most recent
book, The Next Right Thing, she showed readers how to clear the
chaos that clouds decision-making, quiet the fear of choosing
wrong, and find the courage to choose without regret or second
guessing. Building on that message, How to Walk Into a Room (And
How to Know When It’s Time to Walk Out) teaches us how to
recognize and accept when it’s time to leave behind the
situations in our lives that no longer serve us, and learn to find
new ones that allow us to flourish. Emily reveals that the key to
growth is listening to our inner truths. In doing so, we can
discover the silent, nuanced, and hidden arrows that point toward
our next right thing. Emily guides us to find those hidden arrows
using poignant and thought-provoking questions such as:Â How
do I know if it’s time to move on? What if leaving wasn’t my
choice? What if I leave and everything falls apart? Does leaving
make me a quitter? For anyone who feels too angry to stay and too
scared to move on, How to Walk into A Room (And How to Know When to
When It’s Time to Walk Out) invites us to embrace the healthy
rhythm of letting go and moving toward a positive new horizon.
This book aims to put the speciesism debate and the treatment of
non-human animals on the agenda of critical media studies and to
put media studies on the agenda of animal ethics researchers.
Contributors examine the convergence of media and animal ethics
from theoretical, philosophical, discursive, social
constructionist, and political economic perspectives. The book is
divided into three sections: foundations, representation, and
responsibility, outlining the different disciplinary approaches'
application to media studies and covering how non-human animals,
and the relationship between humans and non-humans, are represented
by the mass media, concluding with suggestions for how the media,
as a major producer of cultural norms and values related to
non-human animals and how we treat them, might improve such
representations.
Immigration policy in the United States, Europe, and the
Commonwealth went under the microscope after the terror attacks of
9/11 and the subsequent events in London, Madrid, and elsewhere. We
have since seen major changes in the bureaucracies that regulate
immigrationa "but have those institutional dynamics led to
significant changes in the way borders are controlled, the numbers
of immigrants allowed to enter, or national asylum policies? This
book examines a broad range of issues and cases in order to better
understand if, how, and why immigration policies and practices have
changed in these countries in response to the threat of terrorism.
In a thorough analysis of border policies, the authors also address
how an intensification of immigration politics can have severe
consequences for the social and economic circumstances of national
minorities of immigrant origin.

Although ambivalence characterizes the stance of scholars toward
the desirability of close opinion-policy linkages in general, it is
especially evident with regard to immigration. The controversy and
disagreement about whether public opinion should drive immigration
policy are among the factors making immigration one of the most
difficult political debates across the West. Leading international
experts and aspiring researchers from the fields of political
science and sociology use a range of case studies from North
America, Europe and Australia to guide the reader through the
complexities of this debate offering an unprecedented comparative
examination of public opinion and immigration. part one discusses
the socio-economic and contextual determinants of immigration
attitudes across multiple nations part two explores how the economy
can affect public opinion part three presents different
perspectives on the issue of causality - do attitudes about
immigration drive politics, or do politics drive attitudes? part
four investigates how several types of framing are critical to
understanding public opinion and how a wide range of political
factors can mould public opinion, and often in ways that work
against immigration and immigrants part five examines the views of
the largest immigrant group in the U.S. - Latinos - as well as how
opinions are shaped by contact with and opinions about immigrants
in the U.S. and Canada. An essential read to all who wish to
understand the nature of immigration research from a theoretical as
well as practical point of view.

You know her--the good girl. She's the reliable one who shows up
every week at youth group wearing a purity ring and a smile. She
gets good grades, makes the team, and doesn't need to be told to
come home on time. But deep down she is crushed by the weight of
the responsibility to be the good one, the smart one, the one who
never messes up.
With the same candor and gentle spirit she showed women in "Grace
for the Good Girl," Emily Freeman now gives young women what they
need to be free on the inside, no matter what's going on outside.
Through an honest look at the roles girls play, she helps them
learn to stop trying and start trusting that the Jesus who came to
save them also comes to live with them, right here and now.

The majority of us would not necessarily define ourselves as
artists. We're parents, students, businesspeople, friends. We're
working hard, trying to make ends meet, and often longing for a
little more--more time, more love, more security, more of a sense
that there" is" more out there. The truth? We need not look around
so much. God is within us and he wants to shine through us in a
million little ways.
"A Million Little Ways" uncovers the creative, personal imprint of
God on every individual. It invites the discouraged parent, the
bored Christian, the exhausted executive to look at their lives
differently by approaching their critics, their jobs, and the kids
around their table the same way an artist approaches the
canvas--with wonder, bravery, and hope. In her gentle, compelling
style, Emily Freeman encourages readers to turn down the volume on
their inner critic and move into the world with the courage to be
who they most deeply are. She invites regular people to see the
artistic potential in words, gestures, attitudes, and
relationships. Readers will discover the art in a quiet word, a hot
dinner, a made bed, a grace-filled glance, and a million other ways
of showing God to the world through the simple human acts of
listening, waiting, creating, and showing up.
Many of us believe we are saved by grace--but for too many, that's
the last time grace defines our life. Instead of walking in grace
every day, we strive to be good, believing that the Christian life
means hard work with an unshakable good mood. When we fail to
measure up to our own impossible standards, we hide behind our
good-girl masks, determined to keep our weakness a secret. In Grace
for the Good Girl, Emily P. Freeman invites women to let go of the
try-hard life and realize that in Christ we are free to receive
from him rather than constantly try to achieve for him. With an
open hand and a whimsical style, Emily encourages women to move
from hiding behind masks and do-good performances to the freedom of
a life hidden with Christ in God.
"Software engineering" is a term which was coined in the late
1960's as the theme for a workshop on the problems involved in
producing software that could be developed economicaLly and would
run reliably on real machines. Even now, software engineering is
more of a wish than a reality, but the last few years have seen an
increased awareness of the need to apply an engineering-type
discipline to the design and construction of software systems. Many
new proposals have been made for the management of software
development and maintenance and many methodologies have been
suggested for improving the programming process. As these problems
and solutions become better understood, there is a growing need to
teach these concepts to students and to practicing professionals.
As a prelude to the educational process, it is necessary to gain an
understanding of the software design and development process in
industry and government, to define the appropriate job categories,
and to identify the fundamental content areas of soft ware
engineering. The need for quality education in software engineering
is now recognized by practitioners and educators alike, and various
educational endeavors in this area are now being formulated. Yet,
discussions we had had over the past year or so led us to believe
that there was insufficient contact between practitioners and
educators, with the resultant danger that each group would go off
in separate ways rather than working together."
Nothing gets our attention like an unmade decision: Should I accept
the new position? Which schooling choice is best for my kids? How
can I support my aging parents? When we have a decision to make and
the answer isn't clear, what we want more than anything is peace,
clarity, and a nudge in the right direction. If you have trouble
making decisions, because of either chronic hesitation you've
always lived with or a more recent onset of decision fatigue, Emily
P. Freeman offers a fresh way of practicing familiar but often
forgotten advice: simply do the next right thing. With this simple,
soulful practice, it is possible to clear the decision-making
chaos, quiet the fear of choosing wrong, and find the courage to
finally decide without regret or second-guessing. Whether you're in
the midst of a major life transition or are weary of the low-grade
anxiety that daily life can bring, Emily helps create space for
your soul to breathe so you can live life with God at a gentle pace
and discern your next right thing in love.
If the past few years have taught us anything, it's that the world
is broken. The world we thought we knew vanished, and so many of us
are now struggling to make sense of a world that's not what we
thought it was. This book is about what happens when the
fundamental picture we had relied on - our sense of how everything
holds together - falls apart. For some, this moment comes when a
global pandemic upends our security. For others, it's a partner
leaving, or a terrible diagnosis, or the death of a loved one. Many
of us have felt our worlds breaking when long-held beliefs about
God or faith slipped through our hands. Whether the details are
global or personal, the experience is the same: you discover that
the framing reality you were living in has fractured. But here's
the good news: The world has been breaking for as long as we can
remember. We've been here before, which means we can turn to
ancient, perennial wisdom to help us sort through these urgent
problems. In When the World Breaks, Jason Adam Miller explores the
possibilities for hope hidden in the paradoxes Jesus spoke when he
taught the eight blessings - often called the Beatitudes - recorded
in the beginning of Matthew chapter 5. These strange blessings name
our experiences of suffering and are built on a particular kind of
hope. This book is a meditation on those teachings as a
transformative way forward when we suffer. Lyrically written,
theologically rich, and supremely accessible, When the World Breaks
reveals an unexpected way to look at these familiar verses, giving
readers hope that God is with them in their suffering, and helping
them become the kind of people who can put things back together.
In order to describe how the elites in two political systems
grappled with the potentially explosive influx of foreign labor,
Gary Freeman analyzes and compares the ways in which the British
and the French governments responded to immigration and racial
conflict over a thirty-year period during the post-war era. In
addition to comparing the policy records of the two countries, the
author focuses on the process by which political and social
phenomena become defined as public problems and how alternative
responses to these problems are generated. His broader aim is to
provide a standpoint from which to evaluate the more general
problem-solving capability of the political systems under
consideration. Professor Freeman finds that by 1975 both Britain
and France had instituted tightly controlled, racially
discriminatory, temporary contract-labor systems. Despite this
basic similarity, however, he notes three distinctions between the
two cases: while the French attempted to adapt immigration to their
economic needs, the British failed to seize this opportunity; while
the British moved toward an elaborate race relations structure, the
French relied on criminal law and the economic self-interest of the
worker to prevent outbreaks of racial violence; and the British
were much more affected than the French by fears of immigration and
racial conflict. Originally published in 1979. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
