Abstract

Nicolas Fromm explores norm-based strategies small states can use to distinguish themselves internationally in order to compensate for their lesser geopolitical weight. Using the example of Qatar, the author shows that such strategies might include a sort of norm entrepreneurship which goes beyond the advocacy of universal norms and implies the development of genuinely new norms (‘norm crafting’) in pursuit of regional political influence. To shed light on the stunning rise of Qatar from a background actor to a protagonist in international diplomacy, the case study analyses the distinctive use of norm crafting in the country’s Middle East diplomacy under the reign of Emir Hamad (1995-2013). To unfold the potential of strategic normative innovation, Qatar seems to have imitated the attitudes and attributes of established norm entrepreneurs such as international organizations. Contents National interest and international norms: A joint theoretical framework Foreign policymaking under Emir Hamad Qatar’s constructivist niche diplomacy Target Groups Researchers and students in the field of international politics with an interest in International Relations Theory or Middle Eastern Studies. Analysts and Diplomats interested in the Gulf region and Qatari foreign policy in particular. The Author Dr. Nicolas Fromm is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute of International Politics at Helmut Schmidt University in Hamburg. .

Abstract

An unprecedented number of people is currently on the move seeking refuge in Europe. Large parts of European societies respond with anxiety and mistrust to the influx of people. Nationalist, anti-migrant parties from Slovakia over Germany to the UK have gained increasing support among the electorate and challenge the political mainstream. Europe is struggling how to respond. While the search for solutions is ongoing one pattern seems to be emerging: Fortress Europe is in the making. Unfortunately, few of these discussions and measures consider the structural root causes and dynamics of migration, the motives of migrants or societal challenges more thoroughly. This book seeks to address this deficit. Taking migration and asylum policies as a starting point, it analyses the various dimensions underpinning migration. In doing so, it identifies why receiving countries are in many ways part of the problem. To eschew an overtly Euro-centric perspective and stimulate a debate between science and politics, it contains contributions by academics and practitioners alike from both shores of the Mediterranean. Target Groups • Researchers and students in political science, International Relations, European Studies, Area Studies focusing on migration • Policymakers on the regional, national and sub-national level • Civil society actors working in the field of migration and integration The Editors Dr. Annette Jünemann is Professor for Political Science and International Relations, Helmut Schmidt University, Hamburg. Nicolas Fromm is political consultant and PhD candidate, Helmut Schmidt University, Hamburg. Nikolas Scherer is political consultant and PhD candidate, Hertie School of Governance, Berlin.

Abstract

With this volume, the editors propose a multi-dimensional and critical review of migrants' vulnerabilities. They argue that a deeper understanding of vulnerability is paramount to discuss empowerment and resilience. Regardless of their motivations, migrants can face vulnerabilities/ t any of the stages of their journey. These vulnerabilities may change over time for better or worse, corresponding with a person' legal status, migratory path and the practices of migration regulation. This book addresses vulnerability from an interdisciplinary and intersectional perspective. It brings together latest academic research and practitioners' insights to help reception societies adapt and improve their dealing with migrants' vulnerabilities. The Editors Nicolas Fromm is Postdoctoral Researcher in International Relations at Helmut Schmidt University Hamburg. Annette Jünemann is Professor for International Relations at Helmut Schmidt University Hamburg. Hamza Safouane is Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute for Migration Research and Intercultural Studies at Osnabrück University.
