Abstract

Moving away from state categorizations on irregular migration, this Research Handbook critically examines processes and dynamics that generate and reproduce irregularity, and discusses who may count as an irregular migrant. Acknowledging that irregular migration is not just a South-North issue, chapters investigate the many different pathways into irregularity, demonstrating the benefits of understanding dynamics behind irregular migration over statistics. Organised into six thematic parts covering key issues such as approaches and perspectives for research, informal labour and the challenges faced by migrant families, global contributors from a variety of disciplines provide an expert review of geographical and historical paths into irregular migration. Offering their background knowledge and highlighting tools to better understand how irregular migration is linked to geopolitics and migration policies, the Research Handbook on Irregular Migration guides readers through the complex issues facing migrants worldwide. Written in a comprehensive yet accessible style, this Research Handbook will be an excellent resource for undergraduate and graduate students as well researchers and academics interested in migration, policy, law, security, border crossing, informal labour, crime and civil support to migrants. --

Abstract

What explains the cross-national variation in the radical right's electoral success over the last several decades? Challenging existing structural and institutional accounts, this book analyzes the dynamics of party building and explores the attitudes, skills and experiences of radical right activists in eleven different countries. Based on extensive field research and an original data set of radical right candidates for office, David Art links the quality of radical right activists to broader patterns of success and failure. He demonstrates how a combination of historical legacies and incentive structures produced activists who helped party building in some cases and doomed it in others. In an age of rising electoral volatility and the fading of traditional political cleavages, Inside the Radical Right makes a strong case for the importance of party leaders and activists as masters of their own fate.

Abstract

"How should we, citizens of rich countries, respond to the claims of the many millions of people world-wide who want to immigrate and settle in our societies? Their reasons are often compelling - they are fleeing mass poverty or political persecution - but the impact that fully open borders would have on the life of the societies that the immigrants would join is also immense. This books defends democratic states' rights to control their borders, and powerfully criticizes the arguments offered in support of international freedom of movement - common ownership of the earth, global equality of opportunity, and the human right to immigrate. It explains why states have rights over territory that permit them to exclude outsiders, and why democracies are entitled to decide who they will accept as future citizens. But it also sets out the parameters of a just immigration policy."--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Depuis la fin de la guerre froide, le nombre de murs, barrières ou clôtures a été multiplié par cinq ; mis bout à bout, ils permettraient de parcourir les trois quarts du périmètre équatorial de la Terre. De nouveaux murs ne cessent d'être construits, y compris en Europe. Pourtant, bien des études s'accordent à répéter l'inutilité de ces renforcements au regard des objectifs annoncés de " sécurisation " de la frontière. La résurgence du schème traditionnel de la frontière n'est-elle qu'un effet de surface, une réaction spectaculaire autant que vaine, le dernier sursaut d'une souveraineté à l'agonie ? Comment penser l'apparent paradoxe entre, d'une part, une incitation permanente et généralisée à la mobilité, une tendance à l'ouverture des frontières et, d'autre part, la militarisation des frontières et les mesures de lutte contre l'immigration clandestine ? En se démarquant de la dichotomie fondatrice du problème tel qu'il est généralement abordé (la souveraineté des États opposée aux droits des migrants, le sécuritaire contre l'humanitaire), ce livre tente de dessiner la cohérence propre d'une " rationalité " frontalière qui s'élabore dans le cadre d'institutions de gestion des migrations mondialisées. Se tenant au plus près de pratiques et de discours hétérogènes et souvent conflictuels, il met en résonance les derniers travaux de Foucault portant sur le néolibéralisme avec un riche matériel juridique, sociologique et politique. Ces ressources permettent de saisir la complexité et les transformations de l'institution frontalière, soumise à la pression institutionnelle et intellectuelle d'une gouvernementalité managériale, sur un fond de mondialisation essentiellement inégalitaire. La mondialisation du marché du travail et le développement du néolibéralisme forment le cadre à l'intérieur duquel la frontière se dessine comme mode de régulation des flux et instrument de mise en mouvement différenciant. Au regard de cette matrice génératrice de mobilités inégalitaires, quelle est la généalogie, quelles sont les continuités et les discontinuités du " phénomène migratoire " ?

Abstract

"Immigration has emerged as the defining issue of our times. [...] The challenge that the immigration issue poses to the future of European democracy is real. Immigration itself is a genuine challenge, but the fundamental challenge that immigration brings to the fore is a domestic one, it is about fundamentally different political visions that cut through the citizenry of Europe's nation states. With that, it becomes critically important how these nation-states, through their democratic institutions, tackle immigration. [...] we need both the scholarly analysis and reflection presented in this volume, and we need informed political innovation within and between Europe's nation-states." - from the Foreword by Prof. Dr. Kristian Berg Harpviken, Peace Research Institute Oslo "[...] In result, Europe, to its series of recent big questions [...] had to add another one: migrants stand ante portas and what to do with them? [...] We have chosen to look at the extent to which the past, the present and the future of irregular migration to Europe relates to the foundational values and principles on which Europe has been built, namely democracy, the rule of law (Rechtsstaat) and the respect for fundamental rights. We focus on those people who seek in Europe various forms of help, motivated by war or other injustices in the places where they come from. [...] the main aim of our book was to join the voluminous professional and academic literature on migration and to offer a few modest suggestion in which direction Europe should go whenever irregular migrants stand ante portas." - from the Preface by the Editors "This is a timely and elaborate volume interested in the question to what extent the challenge of irregular migration poses a challenge to democracy. The authors approach this issue from different ethical, legal and political angles. They do not shy away from developing concrete recommendations as to what the European Union could do when faced with migratory pressures. Overall, therefore, a highly recommendable contribution." - Prof. Dr. Florian Trauner, Vrije Universiteit Brussel
