Handbook on Migration and Welfare
Bringing together prominent scholars in the field, this Handbook provides an interdisciplinary exploration of the complex interrelationship between migration and welfare. Chapters further examine the effects of emigration on sending societies exploring issues such as the impact of remittances, diasporas, and skill deterioration as a result of human capital flight on capacity building and on economic and political development more generally.
Mobilities of the Highly Skilled towards Switzerland
This open access book analyses the strategies of migration intermediaries from the public and private sectors in Switzerland to select, attract, and retain highly skilled migrants who represent value to them. It reveals how state and economic actors define “wanted immigrants” and provide them with privileged access to the Swiss territory and labour market. The analysis draws on an ethnographic study conducted in the French-speaking Lake Geneva area and the German-speaking northwestern region of Switzerland between 2014 and 2018. It shows how institutional actors influence which resources are available to different groups of newcomers by defining and dividing migrants according to constru...
Elgar Encyclopedia of Global Migration
In recent decades, emerging challenges such as increased digitalization of social lives and the ongoing processes of border externalization and internalization, have prompted scholars and civil societies to question the ways in which people view, frame and experience migration and draw attention to emerging forms of resistance and mobility justice. This timely Encyclopedia engages with critical epistemologies and practices to provide a comprehensive examination of the field of global migration, activism and cultural production.
The Oxford Handbook of Swiss Politics
This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the many different facets of the Swiss political system and of the major developments in modern Swiss politics. It brings together a diverse set of more than 50 leading experts in their respective areas, who explore Switzerland's distinctive and sometimes intriguing politics at all levels and across multiple themes. In placing the topics in an international and comparative context and in conversation with the broader scholarly literature, the contributors provide a much-needed counterpoint to the rather idealized and sometimes outdated perception of Swiss politics. The work is divided into thematic sections that represent the inherent diversit...
European Citizenship and Identity Outside of the European Union
This book critically engages with the concept of European identity and citizenship, and the role of the European Union in diaspora, membership and emigration policies. It presents original research on European governance of emigration and citizenship and considers European integration in a global context. It questions whether there can be a European diaspora outside the European Union, if European governance of emigration is possible, and whether the EU can or should govern its diasporas in the global era. By engaging with concepts of European citizenship, diaspora and identity, the author examines the weak meaning of Europe for EU nationals living abroad and finds that European public spaces, present and sustained within the European Union territory, are largely not exported outside of it. Equal treatment and equal rights become empty concepts for Europeans leaving the European Union as they lose their European citizenship. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of European Union politics, European studies, migration studies, American and Canadian studies, and the sociology of migration.

Religion und Geschlecht
Religion und Geschlecht sind eng miteinander verflochten: Religiöse Traditionen, Anschauungen, Symbole und Praktiken sind geschlechtsspezifisch geprä> Geschlechterrollen, Stereotype und Ideale werden religiös untermauert und sanktioniert. Nicht nur religiöse Traditionen selbst, sondern auch die Erforschung und Darstellung von Religionen sind überwiegend durch androzentrische Perspektiven gekennzeichnet. Gegenstand dieser Einführung sind ein Überblick zu den methodologischen und theoretischen Grundlagen der religionswissenschaftlichen Geschlechterforschung sowie eine Revision religionsgeschichtlicher Daten und Perspektiven auf der Basis umfangreicher Forschungsergebnisse.
