Dieses Buch bietet eine aufschlussreiche Analyse der sich abzeichnenden Flüchtlings- und gemischten Migrationskrise im Kontext von vier großen, aktuellen Migrationsströmen: zwei in West- und Osteuropa und jeweils einer in Amerika und Asien. Auf die Analyse folgt eine kluge Identifizierung der Schlüsselfragen und die Präsentation einer Reihe von Vorschlägen für politische Antworten. Die Diskussion wird dann in einen globalen Rahmen gestellt und mit der kürzlich gestarteten Initiative der Vereinten Nationen zur Verabschiedung von Global Compacts für Flüchtlinge und Migranten verknüpft. Der Autor bringt in dieses Buch, seine umfangreiche Erfahrung aus der Beratung und aktiven Zusammenarbeit mit vielen der wichtigsten internationalen Organisationen ein, die sich mit Flüchtlings- und Migrationsfragen befassen. Dieses Buch wird für Forscher, Studenten, NRO, Berufsverbände, nationale Ministerien, internationale Organisationen und Rechtsgruppen in den Bereichen Wirtschaft, öffentliche Finanzen, politische Ökonomie, Menschenrechte und Flüchtlingsrecht sowie internationale Beziehungen und Demografie von Interesse sein. The Author Bimal Ghosh ist Senior Fellow an der Graduate School of International and Development Studies, Genf, Schweiz, und emeritierter Professor an der Colombia Graduate School of Public Administration, Bogota, Kolumbien. Zuvor war er als leitender Direktor bei den Vereinten Nationen tätig und leitete ein mehrjähriges globales Projekt zur Migrationssteuerung, führte mehrere internationale Missionen durch und war als Berater für globale Kommissionen/Konferenzen und verschiedene internationale Organisationen zu Fragen der Migration, Entwicklung und Menschenrechte tätig. Die Übersetzung wurde mit Hilfe von künstlicher Intelligenz (anhand einer maschinellen Übersetzung durch einen Service von DeepL.com) angefertigt. Da die anschließende Überprüfung hauptsächlich im Hinblick auf inhaltliche Gesichtspunkte erfolgte, kann sich der Text des Buches stilistisch von einer konventionellen Übersetzung unterscheiden.

This book captures the hidden labour of migrant nightworkers in 24/7 London. It argues that late capitalism normalises nightwork, yet refuses to recognise the associated problems, from lack of decent working conditions to the seizure of the workers’ private time for self-development, family and social life. The book shows how the articulation of nightworkers’ subjectivities and socialities happens at the intersection between migration, precarity and nightwork, and traces how each of these dimensions magnifies the lived experience of the others. It further reveals that any possibilities for cooperation or solidarity in the workplace between migrant nightworkers become fragile and secondary to their survival of the nightshift. It also elucidates the mechanisms that hinder cohesion between vulnerable groups placed temporally and socially on a different par to the mainstream societies. As such, this book is an excellent resource for labour regulators, experts and student researchers in migration, work and gender.

This comparative study examines the processes of development and the configurations of export industries in northern Morocco and on the northern border of Mexico. As the contributors explore the similar characteristics of these two borders, they also examine how the global economy circulates around “places of production”—sites advantageous to the development of export industries. Focusing on transnational firms and the working conditions, settlement processes, and migratory flows they engender, this volume considers if a convergence toward a global culture is inevitable in places of production, or if local resistance emerges in response to the impact of the global.

This book brings together two major trends influencing economic and social life: population ageing on the one side, and migration on the other. Both have assumed increasing importance over the course of the 20th and into the 21st century. The book offers a unique interdisciplinary perspective on the challenges posed by the globalisation of the life course to welfare states’ old age and family policies. Through a variety of case studies, it covers a wide range of migration scenarios: those who migrate in later life; migrants from earlier years who age in place; and old people who hire migrant caregivers. It shows how both local and global economic inequalities intersect to frame interactions between ageing, migration, and family support. Across a wide variety of situations, it highlights that migration can both create risks for older people, but also serve as an answer to ageing-related social, economic, and health risks. The book explores tensions between national and global contexts in experiences of migration across the life course. As such this book offers a fascinating read to scholars, students, practitioners, and policy makers in the fields of aging, migration, life course, and population health. .
