Migrant Organising
In Migrant Organising: Community Unionism, Solidarity and Bricolage, Emma Martín-Díaz and Beltrán Roca explore recent developments in community unionism and solidarity networks among migrant workers in a post-Fordist context characterised by transnationalism and global chains. The contributions in this edited book describe different types of trade union strategies toward migrant workers and the rise of solidarity and bricolage initiatives in situations in which conventional union organising cannot succeed. Cases from Germany, Spain, Italy and Argentina reveal that the transformation of work, the rise of global chains and the intensification of international migrations are the basis of new forms of union and extra-union intervention. Contributors include: Beltrán Roca, Emma Martín-Díaz, Simone Castellani, Mark Bergfeld, Juan Pablo Aris-Escarcena, Giulia Borraccino, Paula Dinorah Salgado, Alicia Reigada, Giuseppe D’Onofrio and Jon Las Heras.
Handbook on Migration and Development
This Handbook presents a comprehensive overview of the interaction between migration and development from a range of critical and counter-hegemonic perspectives. Exploring the strengths and weaknesses of existing practices connected with the migration and development nexus, contributing authors provide a clear understanding of their complex dynamics.
Migration, Borders and Citizenship
This edited collection goes beyond the limited definition of borders as simply dividing lines across states, to uncover another, yet related, type of division: one that separates policies and institutions from public debate and contestation. Bringing together expertise from established and emerging academics, it examines the fluid and varied borderscape across policy and the public domains. The chapters encompass a wide range of analyses that covers local, national and transnational frameworks, policies and private actors. In doing so, Migration, Borders and Citizenship reveals the tensions between border control and state economic interests; legal frameworks designed to contain criminality and solidarity movements; international conventions, national constitutions and local migration governance; and democratic and exclusive constructions of citizenship. This novel approach to the politics of borders will appeal to sociologists, political scientists and geographers working in the fields of migration, citizenship, urban geography and human rights; in addition to students and scholars of security studies and international relations.

Migrascapes: paisajes étnicos, mediáticos y de ideas
La imaginación no es equivalente a lo ilusorio, es una parte constituyente de lo social. De hecho, todos vivimos en comunidades imaginadas, y habitamos un mundo que va más allá de nuestra experiencia o conocimiento empírico. En la actualidad, la imaginación social de la realidad, como campo productivo, está marcada por la relación entre las cotidianeidades localizadas y los diversos flujos globales: financieros, ideológicos, étnicos, mediáticos y tecnológicos. Las articulaciones cambiantes e incompletas entre estos flujos han sido llamadas paisajes (scapes), una metáfora para recordarnos su dimensión percibida y construida, dinámica e interdependiente. Migrascapes, los paisajes migratorios, es una investigación colectiva que nació de nuestra preocupación por las transformaciones de distintos flujos globales durante y a partir de la pandemia de COVID-19. El presente libro recopila distintos ensayos que llaman la atención sobre algunas de las más acuciantes transformaciones en el ámbito de la imaginación política, ideológica, mediática, de representación y de gobierno.
Mutations dans les migrations, conflictualités dans les pratiques
Cet ouvrage se fonde sur des recherches entreprises dans une douzaine de pays (Cameroun, Côte-d'Ivoire, Allemagne, Belgique, Espagne, France, Italie, Liban, Maroc, Portugal, Turquie). Les chercheurs, dont la plupart des réflexions ont été inspirées du 4e Séminaire Annuel du Réseau Migrations tenu à l'Université de Poitiers en 2017, décortiquent les divers aspects des migrations, prenant notamment en compte le mariage, l'éducation, la santé, l'économie, ou encore le statut des réfugiés, les femmes et les mineurs. Ces thématiques migratoires dénouent des conflictualités révélées dans les itinéraires des acteurs toujours très engagés dans leur projet migratoire.
Europe and the Refugee Response
This book explores how the rising numbers of refugees entering Europe from 2015 onwards played into fears of cultural, religious, and ethnic differences across the continent. The migrant, or refugee crisis, prompted fierce debate about European norms and values, with some commentators questioning whether mostly Muslim refugees would be able to adhere to these values, and be able to integrate into a predominantly Christian European society. In this volume, philosophers, legal scholars, anthropologists and sociologists, analyze some of these debates and discuss practical strategies to reconcile the values that underpin the European project with multiculturalism and religious pluralism, whilst ...
Making Migration Law
This thought-provoking study examines the backstory and enduring contemporary effects of Australia's claim to an absolute right to exclude foreigners.
Global Migration Governance
Unlike many other trans-boundary policy areas, international migration lacks coherent global governance. There is no UN migration organization and states have signed relatively few multilateral treaties on migration. Instead sovereign states generally decide their own immigration policies. However, given the growing politicisation of migration and the recognition that states cannot always address migration in isolation from one another, a debate has emerged about what type of international institutions and cooperation are required to meet the challenges of international migration. Until now, though, that emerging debate on global migration governance has lacked a clear analytical understandi...
