Turkey's Syrians: Today and Tomorrow

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Keywords: Turkey; Syrians; migration; refugees; immigrants; movement; mobility

Turkey’s Syrians: Today and Tomorrow, edited by Deniz Eroğlu Utku, K. Onur Unutulmaz, Ibrahim Sirkeci is published by Transnational Press London. The book presents a selection of papers drawing on recent research on Syrian refugees in Turkey. Since the first arrival of Syrian refugees, the issue has sparked considerable national and international interest. Political discourses concentrated on state ‘generosities’ to provide protection to those coming from insecurities and possibilities to reduce ‘burden of refugees’ to receiving countries via international solidarity. While these concerns focus on effects of hosting refugees, what happens to refugees themselves, how they are affected by government policies and how they are perceived by host country people are questions yet to be answered. This book brings together a multidisciplinary set of contributions scrutinising the case of Syrian refugees in Turkey.

Modelling Transnationalism

Modelando el Transnacionalismo

Author(s): / Language(s): Spanish

Keywords: transnationalism; migration; gender; belonging;Latin America;

El término transnacionalismo se desarrolló en la década de los 1990 cuando los investigadores académicos respondieron al crecimiento migratorio nivel global y definieron las formas en que los migrantes organizaban sus vidas en sus lugares de origen y destino. Basándose en el trabajo pionero de Nina Glick-Schiller, Linda Basch y Christina Blanc-Szanton, Michael Kearney y otros, los investigadores académicos indagaron más allá de la geografía y la economía de la migración para considerar una variedad de flujos migratorios, así como cuestiones de género, pertenencia, clase y raza. Continuando con esta tradición, los autores incluidos en este volumen revisan y reinterpretan el transnacionalismo para una nueva generación de investigadores y los retos que las migraciones contemporáneas conllevan.

Young Migration. Vulnerabilities, Boundaries, Protection and Integration

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Keywords: Migration; Young Migrants; Vulnerabilities; Boundaries; Protection and Integration

This book is the product of a fascinating conference held in Bari, Italy, in June 2019. Viewing the content of the collection of chapters included in the book, one can discover that, in that conference, presenters and organisers implicitly heed Dobson’s invitation (2009) to unpack children [and youth] in migration research. Doing this, contributors successfully overcame two kinds of “adultist constructions” (Holt & Holloway 2006) that are typical in the literature about international migrant children. First, the perspective that overlooks children in migration research simply because they are not “migrants”, they are “things”, “objects” or “suitcases” carried by their parents or other adults. In the collection of contributions gathered by Ana Vila-Freyer and Gökay Mehmet Ozerim, readers will discover exactly the opposite: children and youth are migrants. Instead of being “objects”, children and youth circulate, produce mental maps, have educational purposes while moving from one country to another. They build their own forms of understanding about the role and the duties of their legal guardians when they move unaccompanied and separated from their parents; they also talk about their own experiences. These children produce their narrative about what international mobility means for them; they even create their identities referring to different heritages, languages and feelings. In some cases, they are proud of their origins while accommodating the changes for acquiring new nationalities.

COVID-19 and Migration: Understanding the Pandemic and Human Mobility

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Keywords: Biao Xiang; Carla Pederzini; Choujun Zhan; Coronavirus; COVID-19; human mobility; Ibrahim Sirkeci; Jeffrey H. Cohen; Melissa Siegel; migration; Pandemic; Philip L. Martin; R.B. Bhagat; remittances;

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted every domain of life. Migration and human mobility, in general, are not exceptions. Since March 2020, researchers, policy makers and many others have channeled their efforts to understand this new coronavirus, its impact and prospects. Many scholars were thinking and writing on the pandemic from its onset and many blog essays quickly appeared. One of the earliest peer-reviewed research articles Sirkeci and Yucesahin (2020) is reproduced here. This article and its focus on mobility and travel data showed that it was possible to predict the spatial spread and concentration of COVID-19 cases. Not only was this finding crucial to developing appropriate policies and strategies to counter the spread of the virus, it reminded us that the pandemic is a social disease and not simply a biological threat. The contributions in this book should be considered in this regard tackling the social and policy aspects as we leave the biological and medical side to the experts.

Understanding the Shifts in Migration Governance: Milestones, Challenges and Peculiarities

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Keywords: Migration Series; Brazil; Costa Rica; humanitarianism; migration; migration governance; Polish migration; Sweden; Turkey and Germany

This book challenges the notion that migration governance is a fixed framework, arguing instead that it evolves in response to diverse, often unpredictable factors over time. Through a collection of insightful case studies from various geopolitical settings, this volume offers a deep dive into the evolution, key milestones, challenges, and distinctive characteristics of migration management policies. By exploring how these policies are shaped, implemented, and reformed under the influence of both internal dynamics and external pressures, the book reveals the fluid and dynamic nature of migration governance. Readers will gain a nuanced understanding of how migration policies are adapted across different countries and regions, shaped by unique sociopolitical contexts and evolving global trends.
