Summary/Abstract:The aim of this paper is to investigate immigrant female killers on five American television series, from a psycho-social perspective, broadcasted in Spain from 2000 to 2015. On the one hand, in light of exploring the profile of female criminality in order to reveal the bias in fictional female characters, whenever they commit death crimes voluntarily, and, on the other hand, to raise awareness of the most common personality disorders that they tend to have, so as to foster a socially responsible approach of the media production. The selection of the research topic, responds to the striking impacts of the combination of media and psychology in the human kind and in society, and its power in establishing stereotypes of female gender, whenever female protagonists appear on the small screen. Whenever television programs focused on immigrants, a massive employment of negative stereotypes has been observed assigned to the image of the immigrant in all series and also a correlation between reality and fiction.

Summary/Abstract:Life is an illusion that shaped by our perception. This perception can be influenced by different factors and influence our behavior a human being. For example, social media can be used to create the illusion of fear or security in our modern world. Media could lead social developments and also clash similarly as we have seen in the Arap spring. Is security significant for human beings? According to Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, security lies at the very basic level. Security is essential for human development. In this article, I will discuss the parameters of risk for security and human perception of security. As a conclusion, many people still suffer and can not fulfill their basic needs in regions of the world. We would constantly on associated with one another and answerable for one another. We need to be concerned and take an action to ensure the security of our world for the dignity of human being. Earth is like a human body. The conflict area is something like a cancerous region of the human body. As cancer spreads to the whole body, conflicts do too. The thing that unites us ought further to bolster a chance to be more excellent over what isolates us.

Keywords:Council Presidency; domestic policy; European Union; migration; the Slovak Republic; Turkey;
Summary/Abstract:The Slovak Republic is not located on the main migratory routes of people from the third-countries on their way to Western Europe and the state itself has never become final destination for irregular migrants or asylum seekers. Despite this fact, the crisis of migrants coming from the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa significantly influenced both Slovak domestic and foreign policy and created unprecedented dichotomies between Slovak internal and international stance towards the issue, generating impression that Slovakia is playing both ends. Main aim of the paper is to provide evidence of how intensively can migration waves affect even those countries that are neither source countries nor transit or final destination countries for the migrants. The paper presents position of the Slovak Republic on the ongoing migration crisis and the EU solutions including the deal with Turkey and explains the dichotomy among the opinion of the general public and political leaders on one hand and the official stance country presented as the presiding country of the Council of the EU on the other hand, providing evidence that the argumentation lines of both sites were not as diverse as presented and proved to be right from the long-term perspective.

Keywords:Crowding-out; football players; football league; Greece; migration;
Summary/Abstract:Athlete migration has been on the forefront of academic research for more than twenty years since the migration flows of footballers has increased significantly in Europe. Greece is among the top receiving countries of migrant football players in Europe despite the fact that the Greek championship is not highly competitive as other European leagues. The scope of this paper is to provide some initial evidence regarding the flow of foreign football players in the Greek league. The study analyzed a database of all migrant and local athletes that participated in the professional Greek football championship over the period 2001-2013 and performed descriptive analyses. Descriptive evidence suggests that football player migration has increased significantly from 2001 until 2013 yet the relative numbers of foreign athletes are lower than their natives’ counterparts. However, foreign athletes are utilized more by their coaches since they have more actual minutes of participation on clubs’ official matches and earn higher income than the native football players. These findings provide support to several voices echoing on the crowding out effect of native athletes by migrants.

Summary/Abstract:The Greek Asylum Service has been operational for four years, in an environment characterized by rapid developments. The movement of refugees and migrants to Europe, was probably the defining development for our continent in the last two years. In 2015, the great unforeseen refugee influx led to the expansion of the Asylum Service. Our country is legally and morally obliged to inform and offer protection to refugees, irrespective of their numbers and whether they have entered Greece in a regular or irregular fashion. Towards this direction, the Asylum Service, together with the Harokopio University of Athens worked for a jointly funded action of the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) 2014- 2020. The purpose of this action is the design, development and maintenance of a mobile application and the target group would be the asylum seekers who move or are transferred from the country's external borders, and especially the individuals with a refugee profile.

Summary/Abstract:Since the global response to the earthquake in Haiti in 2010, the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for humanitarian assistance has grown dramatically. These technologies include mobile phones, applications (“apps”) installed on phones, and computer connectivity or internet-based sites which receive data from or send it to phones. We call these collectively “platforms”. Employing them has the potential to improve efforts to assist displaced people, or to liberate them in being more able to help each other, or both. The magnitude and visibility of the current refugee and migrant crisis has yielded a rich harvest of new platforms, a survey of which we cover in this paper. Similar to the acronym ICT4D, commonly used to denote the use of ICTs for development, we refer to the technologies in this paper collectively as ICTs for refugees and migrants, or simply ICT4RM. And while platform development has resulted in a patchwork of initiatives-an electronic version of “letting a thousand flowers bloom”-there are patterns emerging as to which flowers grow and have “staying power” as compared to ones that wilt and die. In hopes of providing guidance to wouldbe developers, we offer explanations for what leads to a successful ICT4RM initiative.

Keywords:Content analysis; journalism; media debate; migrants; refugees; sociology of communication;
Summary/Abstract:Digital media played a prominent role as a source of information about the last refugee crisis. Refugees leave their countries of origin due to threatening events, while migrants are motivated by material conditions. Journalistic framing helps to understand how refugees are depicted in digital press outfits; it consists of selecting and highlighting certain aspects of reality in a text, so that it suggests a definition for the described situation, as well as their possible causes and treatment; frames have been studied from the perspective of news production as well as that of the audiences; they act as abstract structures that organize the elements of a communicative text, but some of them are issue-specific. A content analysis was conducted on news about the refugee crisis published by the top 4 Spanish digital diaries by number of readers, to describe how they framed those contents over a six month period. They were mainly centred around the journeys of refugees, clearly from the perspective of the European receiving countries. Mentions to poverty and physical integrity won over terrorism and crime, generally pointing to the victims’ frame over their depiction as intruders. The next challenge is to analyse the effects over the audiences.

Summary/Abstract:Today, migration, immigrants and refugee issues are closely related to the whole world. The developments about these issues can be followed from the media almost everyday because they have news value. Political cartoons, which are woven with messages based on drawings, are interested in these issues too since they are also media contents. The purpose of this study is to show how the refugee case is handled in political cartoons. In the study, 989 political cartoons which were exhibited between the years of 2013 and 2016 in The Aydın Doğan International Cartoon Competition was selected. Then, both quantitative and qualitative content analysis were applied to them to understand how much place these issues take place and in which context they are discussed. Finally, it is determined that political cartoons about these issues has became even more important year by year.

Summary/Abstract:Since the start of the Syrian Civil War, sexual violence has been rampant, causing most Syrians to cite rape as the primary reason for fleeing their home country. This paper explores the relationship between type of perpetrator and the use of sexual violence during armed conflict in the Syrian Arab Republic. This case study investigates pro-government, opposition, Kurdish, and jihadist groups and analyzes which groups utilize sexual violence and their motivations for doing so. The pro-government group includes the Syrian Arab Armed forces and the shabbiha militia. The jihadist group examined is ISIS, the opposition group is the Free Syrian Army (FSA), and the Kurdish group includes both the People’s Protection Units (YPG) and the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ). Sources for this research include various reports from nonprofit and non-governmental organizations such as the Human Rights Watch, as well as reports from the Syrian Network for Human Rights, United States Department of State, and articles from various news outlets including the BBC. Throughout this case study, various subjects are discussed, including the importance of Syria’s history, the use of female combatants, the effects of masculinity and patriarchy on the prevalence of sexual violence, and the use of women as spoils of war. All of these phenomena play an important role in explaining how and why perpetrators use sexual violence. This research shows that sexual violence is used purposefully by jihadist and pro-government groups in Syria, but for differing reasons. Pro-government groups use sexual violence against any whom they perceive to be the enemy, which they believe is any Syrian against the Alawite (Shia) Assad regime. On the other hand, ISIS is more likely than pro-government groups to use women as spoils of war. This is because of the group’s emphasis on sexual jihad, and their need to recruit members. With the use of women as spoils of war, ISIS promises members that they can do as they please with these women. The fear of becoming a sex slave for ISIS also helps the group to enforce discipline on the regions they capture. While there is extensive literature regarding the subject of violence against women in conflict, this research is unique in its examination of different types of perpetrators with a narrow focus on Syria. Most importantly, this research provides insight for policy makers around the world regarding the creation of sustainable policy solutions to eliminate sexual violence during conflict.

Summary/Abstract:My paper points out some (unexpected) similarities in migration of Yugoslav Muslims to Turkey during the two ideologically opposed regimes: the monarchist (1918-1941) and the early-socialist Yugoslavia (1945-1955). In both cases the migration was a state-facilitated process, as Yugoslav primary sources have shown. Despite a kind of international benevolence towards the de-Ottomanization of the Balkans, the Yugoslav Kingdom attempts in demographic engineering sharpened its ethnic and religious boundaries, compromising its own minority policy at the same time. Although the uncontrolled emigration was legalized after the YugoslavTurkish Convention was signed in 1938, many manipulative factors have survived. Treating Kosovo Albanians as ‘people of Turkish culture and language’ enabled their legal expatriation and relocation to Asia Minor during the both interwar and postwar years. Furthermore, the expected improvement of their social status was why many ethnic Albanians declared their nationality or even mother tongue differently, depending on current propositions for emigration. This circumstance was systematically abused by both Yugoslav states in a very similar manner which I intend to show. Owing to restriction of their civil and religious rights, cultural and educational marginalization, the growing waves of Turkish and Albanian migrants continued to move towards Turkey within the two decades after the Second World War.

Summary/Abstract:Labour migration from Turkey to European Countries has started with bilateral international agreements signed between Turkey and European Countries around the 1960's. The oil crisis at 1973 decreased the demand for migrant worker resulting with an illegal migration wave to European countries. Those emergent social developments have influenced the Turkish cinema and some films about illegal immigration were shooted at that period. The film "the Bus" directed by Tunç Okan is one of the first examples of this category about first generation illegal immigrants. Another film "the Island of Hope", shooted after 30 years, at 2007 by Mustafa Kara subjected about illegal immigration concerning third generation illegal immigrants. Those two films were evaluated using qualitative content analysis technic in the context of the question of how first and third generation illegal immigrants are represented in Turkish cinema. Graphic image and dialogues were used as analysis unit. The contents of the two films were analysed within the framework of questions such; personal details, expectations, the country of immigration, the ways of immigration, the problems faced by immigrants, the realisation of the expectations, and the final status. First generation immigrants represented in the film "the Bus" are male with rural backgrounds, muslims with sunni sect, unskilled agricultural worker and their immigration incentive is economic. At the film "the Island of Hope" not only men, instead women, couples and even pregnant women were among the illegal immigrants. The main incentive of immigration is also economic, but the immigrants are not only the illiterate and the unskilled worker. For the first-generation immigrants, the image of Europe is expressed negatively such as; death, unemployement, deportation, being victims of sexual abuse, nostalgia and fear. For the third-generation immigrants however, even they experience similar problems and disappointment, Europe is represented such a home for the survivors, who could find a job and could realize their dreams. In both films, the loser was facing endings such death, alcohol, drug addiction and prostitution. To be deported to Turkey was one of the most prevalent options for the illegal immigrants.

Summary/Abstract:In the light of current migration crisis, the biggest emphasis is presently put on the asylum policy. The hostile attitude or even reluctance of the European societies towards immigrants make the debate on immigration policy even more complex and though. In this context, it is not easy to convince the Europeans of the advantages coming from legal migration. Nevertheless, from over two decades the EU institutions, especially the European Commission, have been supporting the need for effective cooperation with third countries in the field of migration. That is why the concept of Mobility Partnerships has been introduced within the EU immigration policy. The aim of this article is to present and evaluate the impact of existing declarations signed between certain Member States and third countries on legal migration and analyse their influence on the inflow of foreigners to the EU.

Summary/Abstract:The issue of irregular migration in Turkey is gaining an increasingly important dimension. In the context of irregular migration, it is known that many foreigners use Turkey as a target or transit country for economic and political reasons. Only in 2016, 174,466 irregular migrants were apprehended in various regions of Turkey. This number has been increasing, especially in recent years. The current irregular migration movements in Turkey affect not only Turkey but also the European countries around it. In 2014, 280 thousand people illegally reached Europe by sea and land. In 2015, this number increased to 1,046,600. It is known that irregular migration concentrates on the Aegean, Mediterranean, and Marmara coasts. According to the Turkish Coast Guard Command, a total of 490 irregular migrants lost their lives while illegally trying to cross into European countries in 2015, 2016, and the first months of 2017. This picture makes it necessary to address the human dimension of irregular migration from a broader perspective. While coping with irregular migration, policies should be developed by keeping the human dimension of the subject in mind through investigating the causes that drive migrants to irregular migration. In parallel with this, fighting against human smugglers is indispensable. At this point, social work profession, which has to take an active role in the field of migration, must be maintained by improving its practices on the basis of human rights. While working with irregular migrants, social workers must stay away from stigmatizing and judicial attitudes and advocate for the protection of the human rights of these migrants.

Summary/Abstract:Rural economies in developing countries are often characterized by credit constraints. Various studies confirm that rural labor migration in developing countries is an outcome of capital market imperfections. Lack of easy accessibility to credit followed by exorbitant rate of interest charged by informal sources of credit worsens the condition of poor households. Uttar Pradesh is among few most backward states of India and exhibits highest rate of male out-migration among all states (NSSO). Although few attempt have been made to understand trends and patterns of male out-migration from Uttar Pradesh (UP), there is dearth of literature on linkage between credit accessibility and male migration in rural Uttar Pradesh. The current study tries to fill this void. Objective of the study is to assess the role of credit accessibility in determining rural male migration. To meet the objective and to have better understanding of the role played by credit constraints in migration decisions, the study undertake primary survey of 370 households in six villages of Jaunpur district in UP. Simple statistical tools and binary logistic regression model have been used. The result of empirical analysis shows that accessibility and various sources of credit play very important role in male migration in rural UP. Study also found that relationship between credit constraints and migration varies across various social groups in UP. Thus more financial inclusion shall be encouraged in rural Uttar Pradesh and an attempt shall be made to ensure easy access of credit to rural households. Various ongoing schemes on financial inclusion shall be more properly implemented and encouraged among rural households to prevent them from various kinds of exploitation by local moneylender.

Summary/Abstract:After their migration throughout the decade of 1920s, Pomak people underwent numerous cultural changes, especially in their languages. Being an endangered minority language, Pomak is a Slavic language which demonstrates a reciprocal effect with Turkish language in western parts of Turkey. Upon considering the current danger that Pomak is facing extinction, it would be beneficial to analyze the lexical and morphological differences in the Pomak language amongst the areas where Pomak minorities live. So as to gain necessary data three villages -Tayfur, Çanakkale; Toybelen, Balıkesir; Armağan, Kırklareli - in the Northwestern part of Turkey have been visited and Pomak people are firstly asked to translate fifty basic sentences, and later they are interviewed about the current status of Pomak in the area. Obtained translations have been recorded, and their morphological and vocal similarities and differences have been identified and analyzed. Collecting the data, the effect of Turkish on Pomak is analyzed from a perspective of language ecology. This study is intended to supply linguistic information on Pomak and to help create ways to avoid an undesired extinction of such a colorful language.

Summary/Abstract:As Greece is plagued by the multidimensional crisis combined with the recent refugee flows, the center of Athens becomes once more the focus of public discourse's attention. A range of European and Greek policies on migration have been launched during the last decades regarding not only the macro-scale of the migrants’ legal status but also their (permanent and/or temporary) settlement in central Athens. In parallel, many policies and practices -both by public and private initiatives- are being emerged regarding the creative activities, creative groups, cultural policies etc. In general, a turn to the importance of culture and creativity and its socio-economic impact is being observed. Inevitably, these trends form some of the aspects of the urban policy making.

Summary/Abstract:European Turks have experienced a tough adaptation process in their host countries because of the coming back to their homeland possibility has considerably decreased. Although acquiring citizenship in the host countries has several achievements legally, they came across problems such as a crisis of religious and national identity, conflicts of generations and cultures, and alienation. Turkish immigrants have established a number of community organizations and solidarity networks within the framework of the legal rights granted to them by the host country, primarily to provide services in various areas. One of the organizations that has been founded by European Turks are mostly mosque based organizations. The most important part of these organizations founded especially by Turkish immigrants who are close or sympathisers to religious groups and movements in Turkey or connected with them. These organizations were very similar to religious groups and movement in Turkey and in time they have become institutive for fulfilling differentiated demands of immigrant communities. Because of their active role in the everyday religious life of European Turks analysing those civil religious organizations and the religious and cultural life around it is so valuable.

Keywords:Immigration; drug abuse; immigrant youth;
Summary/Abstract:This paper aims to illustrate the trajectories of development of drug addiction among FSU immigrants, and to stress immigrant users' sense of loneliness as the core issue that characterizes these trajectories. The paper is based on a qualitative phenomenological study that explored the characteristics of drug abuse among FSU immigrant drug addicts in Israel. The information was gathered by interviewing 19 Russian-speaking recovering addict counselors employed in Israeli addiction treatment centers. The interview analysis yielded two main trajectories of addiction development among FSU immigrants. The most common one is characteristic of older users who immigrate with already-existing drug problems which almost always become aggravated after immigration. The second trajectory is typical of younger users who immigrate in late childhood and early adolescence, and start using drugs after immigration (and usually in proximity to it). The core issue that characterizes both trajectories is the immigrant users' sense of loneliness. Implications for prevention and treatment based on the interviewees’ reflections, as well as on extant literature, are discussed.

Keywords:Belonging; identity; migration; oral history; transnationalism;
Summary/Abstract:Limnos, like many parts of Greece, experienced successive and long periods of foreign domination, traumas of war and economic devastation. During the decades of 1950’s - 1970’s, compounded by social and economic instability, many Limnian islanders arrived as young immigrants to Australia looking to build a ‘normal’ life. In this paper, through oral history case studies, I examine how the first and subsequent generations of migrants engage with concepts of home and belonging and the role of ethno-regionalism in the reconstruction and redefinition of identity in the diaspora. Ethno-regional identity, of interest in this research, remains both durable and significant as it reforms on foreign soil though it has received comparatively little academic attention. Identity formation and reformation and the role of ‘return’ visits to the ancestral home emerge as transnational patterns that lead to a rediscovered identity shaping the next generation. This ‘history from below’ is not only about the potential loss of Australian migration historiography, but also the legacy of the oral narrative that links the past with the lives and memories of the present and future descendants galvanising this community’s continuity.

Summary/Abstract:The plight of the Rohingya has increasingly come under the international spotlight since 2015 when hundreds of them were stranded for days on boats in the Andaman Sea and denied entry by neighboring countries. The “crisis” had eventually come to an end when fishermen from the island of Aceh in Indonesia rescued many of them, and nearby Southeast Asian countries - Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia, through the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)-eventually agreed to provide temporary shelter and aid. As a result, some observers argue that significant policy change is forthcoming. This paper (i) evaluates Southeast Asian responses to the plight of the Rohingya, particularly during the “boat people crisis,” (ii) assesses the prospects for refuge and protection of the Rohingya in the region, such as whether policyfocused change has been happening, and (iii) outlines the nature of refuge that the Rohingya are likely to receive in the region. The paper concludes that significant change is unlikely, and that the possibilities for protection and assistance remain limited.

Summary/Abstract:Immigration factor played a certain role in the formation of the world public social idea. At all times, societies had to leave places they lived for other places. Immigration can be designated as people's leaving their places for other areas or countries, temporarily or permanently on social, political and economic reasons. Therefore, immigration influenced social factors such as policy, economy, geography and culture. This manifested itself particularly, in the literature which is an integral part of the culture. Immigration literature is a distinct example of this effect. Contemporary American immigration literature is the result of people's mass flow to the United States of America. This literature is comprised by the works of immigrant writers representing different ethnic groups. The purpose of this paper is to examine immigration theme based on the novels by Elif Shafak. She is one of the authors who played a great role in the formation and development of Turkish American literature, which is a comparatively young branch of American immigration literature. The cases in her novels are based on different nationalities, cultures and countries. Belonging to a certain nation is of less importance in her novels. She tries to reveal her heroes' identity from multicultural perspective.

Summary/Abstract:“Migration” has been an important concept for explaining social and cultural change throughout the history of archaeology. Religion, on the other hand, as an important medium for the interaction of different societies and cultures, has been one of the main results of migrations. In antiquity cults spread through different geographical areas by trade, wars and migration. The immigrants brought their beliefs to the new lands and also, they adopted the local cults. During the 12th and 11th century B.C., a large-scale immigration called “Aegean Migrations” occured from Eastern Europe and Balkans to Anatolia. While the first wave of the Aegean Migrations was a movement of discovery the second peak period caused radical changes with the Ionian, Aeolian and Phrygian settlement in Anatolia. The Phrygians who came from the Balkans to Anatolia destroyed the Hittite State and settled in the Kızılırmak River basin. While The Aeol tribes settled between today’s Çanakkale-İzmir shores, the Ionians established a union of twelve city-states between 900-700 BC. These cities were Miletos, Myus, Priene, Ephesos, Kolophon, Lebedos, Teos, Klazomenae, Phocaea, Samos, Khios, and Erythrai. An Aiol city, Smyrna, later joined the union. Ionia had the most glorious period between 650 and 494 BC. Ionian Golden Age came to an end when Miletos, the leader of the union, was occupied by the Persians in 494 BC. However, it is proven in the inscriptions that the union continued its life till the 1st century B.C. When the Ionians came to Anatolia they met the Mother Goddess Cult who had been prayed for thousands of years. The Goddess was given the title of “Matar / Mother” and her characteristic features were created in Phrygia. The recognition of the Mother Goddess Cult in Ionia can be explained by the relations with Phrygia. The purpose of this presentation is to reveal with the archaeological finds that the Ionians, who came to Anatolia with the Aegean Migrations adopted the Mother Goddess Cult Cybele and they added their own cultural characteristics to her.

Summary/Abstract:The migrant’s identity construction is a salient theme in the public and political integration debate in Germany as well as in other European countries. The Alevi community faces a variety of specific challenges in transnational space, such as the protection of its identity and the recognition of its cultural and religious differences. For Alevis, the prospect of being recognized both as a religious and cultural group and an immigrant group in Germany has created a growing social and political movement and a diaspora to Germany. Consequently, after more than 50 years, the children of Alevi migrants to Germany, especially of third generation, are starting to grow up in a transnational context within a diasporic consciousness.

Summary/Abstract:Migration, language and identity are three interrelated concepts. These concepts have important effects on the lives of moving families, as their lives are social realities. In this research, it is aimed to focus on the 1989 migration from Bulgaria to Turkey in order to determine the problems especially language related problems, which people who immigrated in 1989 and afterwards to Turkey came across and their effects on their identities. To be able to find proper results qualitative method was used in this study. In-depth interviews were conducted to understand the difficulties in relation to language inabilities, adaptation problems, perceptions, acceptance or exclusion. So the research questions are: What were the problems of immigrants who moved from Bulgaria to Turkey? and How did these problems affect their identities? The novelty of this research is that it is focused on not only to people who emigrated but also their children who were born either in Bulgaria or in Turkey. So, it is possible to make comparison among the people who lived the act of moving and their children whom may also have lived or just felt it in their lives. This also makes it possible to determine changes in time.

Summary/Abstract:From an Australian perspective, which can be extended to other countries’ migration frameworks, this study raises the notion that “uncertainty” negatively modulates systemic issues in recurring themes of human security violations, fraud and non-integration. Such understanding could lead to insights into migrants’ decision-making processes resulting in the subsequent use of unintended pathways. Literature and case study reviews were undertaken, coupled with a quantitative approach analysing retrospective data from the Department of Immigration and Border Protection and the Australian Federal Police to determine the ineffectiveness of current legislative tools that do not take certainty into account and to determine the impact of uncertainty on migrants in Australia’s migration program as a receiving country. Practical recommendations are presented for consideration by policy-makers to ensure certainty for the migrant, including; to combat human security violations via the provision of visa pathways for applicants to remain after lodging a complaint, ensuring that both employment and human securities can co-exist; to effectively control fraud via the removal of discretion, ensuring certainty in pathways of decision-making processes to combat unintended pathways; and finally, the permeation of certainty throughout the migration program, ensuring that steps to attain citizenship are not out of necessity but instead a step towards successful integration.

Summary/Abstract:No matter the reason, recent immigration from the Middle East to Turkey is not just a 'displacement'. It will have a deep and lasting impact on people. Migrant individuals and groups are forced to rethink their perspectives on the world and their personal values deradicalizing themselves as a consequence. This radical position is usually a result of the strife affecting their peace and comfort at home. Migration, if it is caused by civil war, or other traumatic events, may lead to the reversal of values or increased radical returns to their cultural and ethical values and beliefs. An immigrant who is deliberating between nihilism and radicalism has to try various ways to solve this dilemma.

It is important both to develop and improve human capital assets in order to achieve necessary results. Not only human capital assets advancing relate to skills enhancing, but also brain migration policy regulating, scientific schools’ development as well as state policies aimed at market participants’ discrimination elimination. There are listed a number of factors affecting brain migration and innovative development which are closely interconnected. As a result, a gravity model of contemporary brain migration is developed.

Summary/Abstract:Europe has been experiencing an influx of migrants since mid-2015. Several people try to reach Europe in search of a better life away from their war-devastated homelands. Their first entry into Europe is mainly the countries close to their homelands. Greece, therefore, has been the focus of the international community due to vast numbers of persons reaching its shores every single day, especially since the escalation of the Syrian civil war. Selected as a hotspot, it received assistance from the European Union. On the other hand, Croatia has been unexpectedly subjected to thousands of migrants within a short period of time. Eventually, it was awarded financial support from the Union. Upon migrant crisis, the EU introduced new mechanisms to support the states facing migrant influx. In this article, measures and attempts by the European Union to support Greece and Croatia in handling the migrant crisis are reviewed. The article tries to answer to what extent such attempts have been successful in assisting Greece and Croatia.

Keywords:Migration; migrants; labor market; labor force; participation rate;
Summary/Abstract:The phenomenon of migration, as old as human history, is one of the most interested subjects of countries in the 21st century, especially in the last 10 years. Undoubtedly, one of the important reasons for this is the fact that migration has significant influences on from economic to social life almost every subject in terms of both emigrating countries and receiving countries. The fact that economic factors and security problems are the main causes of migration movements also laid the groundwork for the work done in the field of economy to concentrate on this subject. At this point, there are also studies of the impact of receiving countries on labor market, although the impact of migrant movements on emigrating countries’ economy is largely a matter of focus. However, there is no consensus on the work done in this regard. As a matter of fact, some studies have found that immigrants have a negative effect on the labor market because they are willing to work at lower wages, while in some studies they have found that immigrants have a positive influence on the labor market by increasing labor supply in areas where the local labor does not want to work. At this point, Turkey has taken its place in studies in the literature as a country that both emigrating (especially from the early 1960s to the 1990s) and receiving country (especially in the last 10 years because of events happening in neighboring countries). Although the vast majorities are refugee status, a growing number of immigrants are involved in the labor market and this affects the position of the local labor force on the labor market. From this point of view, the effect of immigrants on the labor force participation rate of the local labor force has been examined by means of regression analysis, using immigrant data from 26 provinces in Turkey between 2011 and 2015. According to the study results; Migrants allowed to work in Turkey have a positive effect on the participation rate even if just a bit. From a gender perspective, it has been found that immigrants have positive effects on women's labor force participation rates. But, there has been no significant impact on the male labor force participation rate of migrants. In the study, there has been also found that the increase in the level of education of men has a positive effect on the labor force participation rate, while in women, it has been found to be a negative effect of the higher education graduation although the primary and high school graduation has a positive effect on the labor force participation rates.

Nowadays a great number of people, especially women and children, are trafficked, mainly from poor to developed states, in order to be exploited either for sex or for labor. The Western societies, including the international organizations and institutions, have taken measures, as they have tried to eliminate it. The most characteristic attempt is the Palermo Protocol. However, the legislation has been proved ineffective, therefore the states in collaboration with the organizations should realize the basic dimensions of this phenomenon and legislate based on them.

Summary/Abstract:Developing countries that want to sustain their economic development and close the economic gap between developed countries need foreign capital, especially because of insufficient domestic savings. In this context, there are many ways in which countries resort to attracting foreign capital. However, since the early 1990s, some countries have seen diaspora as a source of foreign capital they need and have developed methods for this source. One of these methods is the diaspora bond, which emerges as a new generation financial borrowing instrument and which has different advantages in terms of both the issuing country and the buyer compared to other financial instruments and is generally presented only to diaspora members. From this point of view, the aim of this study is to present the effectiveness of these diaspora bonds used as a new generation borrowing instrument and to provide an alternative source of foreign capital that Turkey needs in line with its economic objectives. It is also to raise awareness of this issue.

Summary/Abstract:Many stories have been told of how ‘hyenas’ facilitate undocumented migration and in the process negotiate and protect migrants from the much feared magumaguma who prey on the ‘innocent lives’ of would-be migrants desiring a better life in South Africa. The paper relies on first hand accounts of individuals who have crossed the Limpopo River and Zimbabwe-South Africa border as undocumented migrants. It utilises qualitative in-depth interviews of Zimbabwean migrants in Johannesburg. These individuals have had to deal with some, if not all, of the following: ‘hyenas’, crocodiles, magumaguma and the malayitsha. This paper demonstrates the central role of human smugglers such as the malayitsha and hyenas/impisi and the precarious nature of undocumented Zimbabwean migration showing the sheer will to survive against all odds; migrating to a perceived better life. Death will not deter migration or the aspiration to change one’s life by migrating. The paper creates a good case for the need for further research targeting the magumaguma and the malayitsha so that a critical mass of literature can be created on these human smugglers. This paper is important as it comes up with a conceptual framework on understanding undocumented Zimbabwean migration to South Africa.

Summary/Abstract:Korea is one of the countries in the Asia-Pacific region with the highest student net migration. An increasing number of international students, specifically from neighbouring Asian countries, have been moving to the country to pursue higher education. As one of such countries, the Philippines has a greater number of female students engaging in Korean study abroad programmes compared to their male counterparts. Recognizing the differences in educational principles and socio-cultural relations between the two countries, this research aims to explore the academic experiences and examine the gender identity and performance of Filipino female student migrants in Korea. This qualitative study was carried out by conducting in-depth interviews of five (5) Filipino female students enrolled in a graduate school programme in Korea at the time of study. As high-skilled women from a developing country, Filipino female students construct an understanding of the society they are in based on observations and experiences from both home and host cultures. In some cases, they choose to reconstruct their gender identity and performance to align them with Korean gender norms. The results of this study provide supplementary insights on educational migration and how this process affects gender relations.

It is the result of an unprecedented survey we have conducted in two federal Centres. By interviewing the three main field actors, we highlight the interactions between SEM administrative staff, management and accommodation employees and asylum seekers who are received in the CEPs for a temporary period at the beginning of the asylum procedure. We will be confronted with the hypothesis that despite the integrated reception process in these centres, the implementation of the Sectoral Asylum Plan and the acceleration of asylum procedures, as well as the varied concerns and priorities of the main actors impact the development of future federal centres (CFA) and cannot satisfy all the requirements of asylum process stakeholders.

Summary/Abstract:In order to respond to the refugee crisis or control the migration flows, States may take certain measures to keep migrants out of reach of their borders. These measures involve push-backs, interception at high seas, erecting fences, bilateral agreements for off-shore processing etc., under national security reasons or for maintaining public order. All these measures are referred to as deterrence strategies, they do not conform with States' obligations under International Human Rights Law and they result in preventing refugees from having access to asylum. Through treaties, customary law and case law, the principle of non-refoulement has an extra-territorial application. States are bound by the principle of non-refoulement by the moment States agents exercise effective control upon migrants -potential refugees. Unless States cooperate with each other, share the burden, build -up their capacity for fair asylum procedures and comply with International human rights law obligations, refugees cannot have access to international protection and enjoy their fundamental rights.

Summary/Abstract:The number of international migrants worldwide has continued to grow rapidly over the past decade. Nevertheless, migration leads to controversial conversations within multiple spheres. Therefore, there is a need to explore a perspective on migration-of migrants themselves. This paper aims to situate 25 case studies on migration within interlinked realities of exploitation in the habitus, migrant aspirations, and opportunities provided by the experience of migration; against the backdrop of migrant agency. Analysis of the data collected indicated that migration offers opportunities to avoid and escape socio-economic traps, achieve aspirations and a higher level of well-being; the interactions between entities in the process of migration can be positively exploitative; and that negative lived experiences of the present are overlooked by migrants due to their aspiration of a better future. Most importantly, the authors emphasize that migration is a tool and a strategy which can be used to overcome structural inequalities and build capabilities.

Summary/Abstract:The objective of this paper is the engagement of Albanian communities abroad (ACA) with the purpose of increasing the quality of social capital in Albania. Studying Albanian migrants abroad and their potential capacity to contribute to the development of the country is important due to the characteristics of the Albanian migration. ACA possess valuable skills, experiences, and contacts that they can transfer to individuals in Albania. Based on Albania’s context, we suggest that knowledge transfer through mentoring and counseling is an important approach that should receive more attention. Besides improving the skills of colleagues in the homeland, communities abroad can offer career guidance and study abroad counseling. Hence, Albanian communities abroad can enhance country’s development through the outflow of knowledge and skills. We conclude that different actors such as government, universities and entrepreneurs should build mechanisms to improve the ties between Albania and Albanian communities abroad, specifically with groups of individuals belonging to academic and business environments.

Keywords:migration studies; cultural mobilities; multi-sited ethnography;
Summary/Abstract:This presentation, starting from the field research reflections and seeking a theoretical framework for continuous mobile immigrants, suggests the approach of cultural mobilities as an analytical lens for understanding modern and multiple forms of movement. It argues that all movements are culturally constructed and should be considered within the particular social, economic and political contexts that unfold. The emergence of subjective migration experiences about mobilities (from below), in conjunction with an examination of the policies adopted by the states for these (from above) can help us to understand better how different types of movement are being promoted or are limited by states and how these overlaps are interpreted by the people themselves. It also proposes multi-sited ethnography as a methodological tool for understanding how people's cultural concepts and practices are transformed or reproduced when they move. Finally, it concludes that mobilities are simply the means to illuminate the particular aspects of each culture and the way they are expressed, interpreted and renegotiated in the contemporary, diverse spatial and temporal contexts.

Summary/Abstract:Between 2011 and 2015, the Spanish and Swedish national health care systems did not grant comprehensive health care access to asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants. In these systems, regional health authorities were liable for the management and provision of health care, as they were better prepared to respond to the health needs of local communities. However, decentralization did not foment universal access. In Spain and Sweden, regions responded differently to the provision of health care access for these immigrant groups. Whereas Madrid and Västra Götaland followed the restrictive national guidelines on health care access for these targeted groups, Catalonia and Stockholm made efforts, although insufficient, to provide better assistance to their health care needs. Thus, Spain and Sweden failed to fulfill international and European legal obligations on health for immigrants. To guarantee health care access for asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants, better coordination between national and regional health authorities is essential. The application of Human Rights Based Approach (HRBA) tools can serve this purpose.

Summary/Abstract:The paper focuses on self-employed of Turkish origin in the province of Salzburg/Austria. The research questions concern educational processes on the way to self-employment and changes of living conditions of the self-employed. Educational processes here are understood as transformations of self-relations and of the relationship to the world. They are influenced by turning points or crises in ones live. The results show that the reasons for getting self-employed very often correspond to structural disadvantages of persons of Turkish origin in Salzburg, for example unemployment, economic uncertainty or dequalification. They are accompanied by intrinsic motivation and by support of role models or family. Discrimination as a motif for quitting a former employment is not mentioned very often. But experiences of discrimination in other spheres of live are an important issue. At the same time, new forms of discrimination arise due to self-employment itself. Two kinds of status coexist for the entrepreneurs interviewed here. (1.) Status as increasing prestige. It rises gradually through social upward mobility. (2.) They perceive their membership to a status group of entrepreneurs. Yet, the majority of autochthonous categorically denies them this membership: The self-employed are not recognized as business people of a higher social position. Finally, they therefore develop a higher degree of sensitivity against stigmatization and discrimination.

Summary/Abstract:One important discussion today is the possible negative effects that immigrants have on the wages of natives. In accordance with the theory of labor demand and supply, people believe that new immigrants could take the jobs of the existing workers. Many researchers have showed that there is little impact of immigration on wages and employment of existing workers as for example for the U.S. and the UK . The model fails to explain job polarization and wage inequality between natives and immigrants. Is it possible to model the effects of migration on wages in a different way that has the potential to be more tractable? Many of the shortcomings of the model can be addressed by using a task-based approach to the effects of migration in the labor market. This paper presents such extension following the Ricardian Skill Model (Autor, Levy, & Murnane, 2003). An analysis, without solving for the equilibrium and keeping capital and technology constants in the short run, gives us the following results: In the presence of migration, there will be a re-assignation of tasks. The wages of local workers will not be necessarily affected, but wage inequality within the labor market should increase.

Keywords:Turkish-German migration; Highly skilled Turks; Migration motivations;
Summary/Abstract:The aim of this research project is to examine why highly skilled Turks propose to migrate from Germany to Turkey and whether there are gender-related disparities in migration intentions. The rising migration of highly skilled Turks of the second and third generation has recently paid attention in both, Germany as in Turkey in research, politics, and economy as well as in the media. These highly skilled academics were born and grew up in Germany, enjoyed the education here and leave the country towards Turkey, to reach their career goals there. Fourteen qualitative interviews with highly skilled individuals of Turkish origin of the second and third generation in the Ruhr area (Bochum, Duisburg, Essen and Dortmund) were the foundation of a qualitative study to examine their motives to leave Germany towards Turkey. The results of this research project show that for the majority of the interviewees principally exists an openness to imagine a future life in Turkey. While women predominantly intend to leave Germany for family and partnership reasons, men would primarily migrate to Turkey for professional reasons and for their career. The study comes to the result that not a particular motif, but only the compound of numerous reasons, leads to a motivation for a migration from Germany to Turkey.

Summary/Abstract:“Migration is an expression of the human aspiration for dignity, safety and a better future. It is part of the social fabric, part of our very make up as a human family.” (Ban Ki-moon) Forced migration is the coerced movement of people from their country of nationality or habitual residence. The phenomenon presents challenges which affect the individual, their receiving communities, and then become a highly-politicalized issue which transcends borders. Although Australia has historically been built on migration flows, its island-nature underpins a national psyche of rigorous border control, clearly contrasting the European situation where flows of people have been a constant theme throughout history. We explore Australia’s approach to dealing with those forced migrants who have arrived by boat without a valid visa (thus, "unauthorized maritime arrivals"), detailing a) the impact of policies and law, b) the practical disorder following certain policy application, c) the financial and human cost, d) the juxtaposition of Australia’s current policy, which acts to deter "unauthorized maritime arrivals" while simultaneously increasing the number of authorized refugee arrivals in response to acknowledged human crises. Finally, we explore the repercussions that arise when a human issue becomes a political tool.

Keywords:Germany; guest workers; return migration intentions; Turkey;
Summary/Abstract:What drives German-Turks to return to Turkey? This study attempts to answer this question by investigating the determinants of return migration intention among German-Turks. While German-Turks, invited to work in the booming post-war economy, have always been defined as “guest workers” and expected to return to Turkey eventually, they have preferred to stay in Germany, enjoy increased wealth by earning high wages, and benefits from the German welfare system. But things have changed since 2006, and the net migration number of Turks has now fallen to below zero for the first time. This study aims to identify the factors that influence the multifaceted issue of return migration intentions. I use the most recent “Migration Sample (M1)” of the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), which includes 463 respondents who have a Turkish background, to estimate logistic regressions models for return intentions. This study focuses on testing the effects of four domains: (1) economic integration, (2) social and economic ties with Turkey, (3) discrimination, xenophobia, and multiple identities, and (4) generational status. The results indicate that all these domains make a contribution to return decisions.

Summary/Abstract:The purpose of this paper is to verify the extent to which Brazilian Migration Policy has been influenced by the US War on Drugs and how, justified through a security discourse, it employs practices that violate human rights. A key objective is to determine if the combined effects of drug securitization and historical racism are resulting in the start of a “crimmigration” process. The fact that the federal police, the agency in charge of policing drug trafficking, is also the one that manages immigration, is a major factor in this assessment. This paper further analyses the immigration policy of the Netherlands, for two key reasons. Because a Crimmigration process is also apparent in the Netherlands comparison with the Brazilian context provides for an assessment of the relative degrees of Crimmigration. Secondly, because Dutch drugs policy is fundamentally different to Brazil’s, it provides scope for valuable insights into how differing causal factors lead to the same results, such as the fact both countries treat migration policy with a security bias. The methodology applied in this research is based on bibliographic materials and governmental documents related to the immigration process in Brazil and in the Netherlands.

Summary/Abstract:This paper focuses on the wage gap between native and immigrant workers in Malaysian labour market. This paper uses the Productivity and Investment Climate Survey (PICS) 2 for 2007 to explore the components of the immigrant-native wage gap. The Oaxaca decomposition analysis and quantile regression decomposition were applied in this study. By exploiting the PICS data, the result of this study shows that the immigrant has a lower human capital return on earnings compared to native. Another significant finding is that the wage gap between native and immigrant is mostly explained by the difference in the characteristics of the workers, while, the remaining were explained by the discriminatory effects.

Keywords:Immigrants; Mediterranean; refugees; sea routes; shipwrecks;
Summary/Abstract:In the recent years, the continuous political tensions and the multiple civil wars in many countries have caused a dramatic increase of people emigrating. Most of these people are trying to reach a European country. Since 2015, the number of immigrants and refugees is so high that this is considered a migration crisis. Most immigrants enter the EU by sea. They use boats to reach the shores of Greece, Italy and Spain. These boats very often sink due to a great variety of reasons, such as the dangerous weather conditions. These shipwrecks cause the death of thousands of immigrants and refugees. This paper aims to record and present the shipwrecks that have occurred during the period 2015-2017 in the Mediterranean Sea, as well as, the number of the dead and the missing persons from each shipwreck. For this purpose, data from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) are being used. From the produced maps it is evident that the majority of the shipwrecks occur in the Central Mediterranean Sea, as well as the majority of the dead and the missing. In the same context, the missing from the recorded shipwrecks appear to be more than the dead.

Summary/Abstract:This paper aims to build a spatial model on refugees’ political struggle for human rights with connection to activism and social movement theories in relation to sovereign control spaces. The research undertakes an interdependent theoretical approach to Critical Citizenship Studies (CCS) and Autonomy of Migrants (AoM) perspectives through categorizing forms of activism under the hierarchical model of migrants’ access to rights by decomposing variance in refugee activism cases. Through such classification, it aims to find a middle ground for the discussions between refugee/migrant struggle within the AoM and CCS by integrating the limits of right-based actions that are shaped by the sovereign state policies and practices using empirical evidences collected from Greece and Turkey for the period between 2011-2016.

Keywords:Analytical hierarchy process; conflicts; migration; resolution;
Summary/Abstract:The incitement and the occurrence of the conflicts, their escalation, ceasefire and de-escalation are processes which are continually appearing, lasting and resolving. Consequently, the conflicts usually pull migratory flows. Migration is an issue which nowadays is very present, and it needs to be resolved. The migration usually starts where conflicts arise. Having that in mind, the main concept in the paper is focused on the conflicts and the emergence of the migration flows. It also gives a suggestion how the conflicts can be resolved in the Middle East countries. The purpose of this research is to find out real reasons for appearance of migrations and most rational solutions for their solving. For doing that the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is applied. A short overview will be given of the main elements of the AHP method and how it is applied in the conflict resolution. AHP method is enforceable and leads to concrete recommendations for further conflict resolution. The results of the research will show that resolving the conflicts may contribute in suppression of the migration and it can also protect countries for further armed conflicts and unwanted migration flows.

Keywords:Cabo Verde; Guinea-Bissau; buffer countries; choke points; community integration; labour migrants; migration motives; south-south migration;
Summary/Abstract:Cabo Verde, once serving as a migration transit country into Europe and the Unites States, is becoming a final destination for some West African labour migrants, especially those from Cabo Verde’s sister republic, Guinea-Bissau. Many enter Cabo Verde under the Economic Community of West African States’ open borders agreement, eventually overstaying. The aim of this research was to discover why and how Cabo Verde is becoming a choke point for irregular labour migrants from Guinea-Bissau, and the effects these changes are having on immigrant/host community relations. As an illustrative case study on the effects of increased structural barriers to mobility from underdeveloped to developed countries, this study asks, how do marooned Bissau-Guineans integrate into host communities in Cabo Verde, especially when tensions rise alongside migrant populations and resource pressures? What is convincing them to stay? This study is based off of data collected from structured and semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions in twelve communities on two islands. We found that a majority of immigrants had stable, full time work, began families, and joined community organizations. Additionally, what friction was observed stemmed from displaced and disenfranchised domestic youth mainly from the capital city of Praia competing over employment with more highly skilled or experienced migrants. We also found that conflict seems to have lessened with the adoption of the 2012 National Immigration Strategy, the first of its kind in Cabo Verde, although we also argue that more can still be done to improve integration and community relations. This study has implications for realizing successful economic and community integration of irregular labour migrants, especially at choke points in the developing world resulting from structural changes intensifying the role of host in buffer countries within the Global South.

Summary/Abstract:This paper develops an empirical model to investigate the main determinants of economic behavior of Albanian immigrants in Greece. The aim of this study is to investigate Albanian immigrants’ rate of monthly individual income and their savings in the economic crisis. In addition, the results analyze the remittances that the Albanian immigrants sent to their home country from 2008 to 2011. Also, the results show the expected income of immigrants. The study is based on 371 survey responses from the area of Attica, Greece and they are analysed econometrically using regression techniques. In particular, the empirical results, based on the estimation of regression analysis suggest that economic and consumer variables are significant factors for making them return to their home country. Finally, the empirical analysis showed that the factors affecting the possibility of return to their home country because of the economic crisis, are the participants who believe that they are still paid less than the natives, the participants who have said that their income in the host country is being reduced and the participants who own assets in their home country.

Summary/Abstract:The existence and movement of diaspora across the world, challenge the existing legal norms on citizenship and migration. The responses from the law-makers from origin countries vary. Most of European, Latin America and African countries adopt dual citizenship law to their diaspora for the different reasons: immigrant integration, maintenance of loyalty to ex-citizen or because the closeness ethnic relation. However, most of countries in Asia-Pacific region - which gain the independence through decolonization process - do not favor dual citizenship towards their diaspora, including Indonesia, mostly because of the ideological perception of citizenship. In this sense, many countries grant the special status or scheme to their diaspora (neither citizens nor residents of the country) as an external quasi-citizenship based on ethnic descent as coined by Bauböck as “ethnizenship.” In Indonesia case, while the rejection of dual citizenship proposal is unavoidable, it leads idea to adopt a kind of ethnizenship status as an alternative regulatory model for Indonesia diaspora. In order to search the suitable and realistic regulatory scheme for Indonesian diaspora, this paper compare experiences from India and South-Korea which adopt a quasi-citizenship for their descendants overseas. The result from this comparison will be considered as a benchmark to develop regulatory model for Indonesian diaspora.

Summary/Abstract:This paper aims to disclose the consequences that the system designed by the Catalonian agricultural union “Unió de Pagesos” to recruit, import and distribute foreign labor produces, a subject deprived of its liberties and fundamental rights. Once the model of family farming was substituted by an industrial agricultural system of production, the agricultural union, with the consent of the State, reinvented itself as a provider of services related with the acquisition of manpower through this system - as we designate the set of practices that materialize the recruitment of foreign workers abroad and their concentration is lodgments controlled by the Union. The State’s migration polity is responsible of the emergence of such a system, and we can trace its origin in the symbiotic relation between the State and the union, whose intereststhe social control of the foreign worker and the just in time delivery of labor- are harmonized in it.

Summary/Abstract:This paper looks at these so-called “war brides” (Sensou hanayome) in the post-war Philippines, and their experiences upon migration to the Philippines in the 1950s to the 1960s. More specifically, I examine how ethnicity has become stigmatized in Philippine society of that time due mainly to wartime experiences. I also explore their how they lived their lives in varied degrees of discrimination, inclusion and exclusion. I particularly use the ascribed ethnic marker “Haponesa” or Japanese woman, in the Filipino vernacular, to illustrate how ethnicity has been stigmatized. I utilize life stories of those women who lived decades of their lives in the Philippines. While several of them choose to go back to Okinawa, many of them made the Philippines their home. Semi-structured interviews were done in 2009 and 2012, both in Okinawa and in the Philippines. I also use data I gathered in late 2011 to 2013, when I was doing on-and-off fieldwork in Okinawa.
