This book focuses on the role mainstream humanitarian organizations have in the functioning of the border management system on the southern European border (i.e. Italy). In particular, the author analyses the mainstream humanitarian organizations and NGOs (i.e. Red Cross, the UNHCR, Medici per I Diritti Umani – MEDU, Terre des Hommes and Oxfam) and their role within and beyond the implementation of the so-called ‘hotspot approach’ in Sicily. This work suggests that a vision of humanitarian action as just anti-political and complicit with migration control can be questioned. This book suggests that a) mainstream organizations have been able to politicize their positioning and actions vis-à-vis authorities when migration policies have been tightened; b) mainstream organizations’ political borderwork has helped to promote incremental change in the status quo rather than a radical one. Finally, this book suggests that the discourses and practices of mainstream and grassroots actors seems to be characterized by similar contradictions. Roberto Calarco is Doctor of Sociology at the Sorbonne Paris Nord University, France, and Doctor of Sociology and Methodology of Social Research at the University of Milan, Italy.

In many fields of professional practice and research, conversations can no longer be conducted in the first language of the respective participants. The increasing diversity of languages, of multi- and translingualism require the involvement of language mediators/interpreters. In the contexts of flight, asylum and migration, this interdisciplinary volume discusses different procedural strategies for overcoming linguistic as well as culturally conditioned communication barriers and highlights the emerging methodological and theoretical challenges for social counselling and therapy practice as well as for the practice of qualitative research. The editors Prof. Dr. Angela Treiber holds the professorship for European Ethnology/Cultural Analysis at the KU Eichstätt-Ingolstadt. Her research and teaching focuses include empirical research on religion and migration (history of theory and science). PD Dr. Kerstin Kazzazi is a linguist at the KU Eichstätt-Ingolstadt and conducts research on multilingualism. Dr. Marina Jaciuk is a freelance European ethnologist and lecturer at the professorship of European Ethnology/Cultural Analysis at the KU Eichstätt-Ingolstadt. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.

Susanne Bachmann analysiert eingelagerte Diskurse in ausgewählten Integrationsprojekten für MigrantInnen in der Schweiz. Anhand von vier Fallstudien zeigt die Autorin, dass Vorannahmen und Zuschreibungen in den Projekten die beruflichen Optionen beeinflussen, welche die Projekte für die Teilnehmenden anvisieren. Diese wiederum zielen darauf ab, dass die Teilnehmenden die Einschätzungen der Projekte übernehmen und ihre beruflichen Ziele entsprechend anpassen. Dabei fokussieren die Projekte vorrangig gering qualifizierte und traditionell lebende MigrantInnen, andere Lebensrealitäten drohen aus dem Blick zu geraten. Dadurch besteht die Gefahr, dass sich Stereotypen verfestigen und eine nachhaltige Integration von MigrantInnen nicht erreicht werden kann. Der Inhalt Die Situation von MigrantInnen in der Schweiz Diskurs, Gouvernementalität und Geschlecht Das Konzept „Empowerment“ in Integrationsprojekten Dethematisierung und Reproduktion von Geschlechterungleichheiten Bewertungen von Bildung und Qualifikationen Die Zielgruppen Mitarbeitende von Integrationsprogrammen Dozierende und Studierende der Sozialwissenschaften Die Autorin Dr. Susanne Bachmann ist Soziologin und arbeitet als wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin an der Hochschule für Soziale Arbeit der Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz, Olten/Basel.

This edited book focuses on the intersection of return migration and crises in non-Western countries. The book explores a wide range of theoretical and methodological perspectives while offering practical insights to address the intricate issues surrounding return migration and crises. The topics covered within this volume include return migration trends, the pivotal roles and contributions of return migrants, the social, psychological, and policy challenges faced by returnees, emerging issues stemming from return migration in their home countries, and the public and formal responses to return migration and the reintegration of returnees, and the roles of crises in these areas. This edited volume brings together diverse perspectives of academic researchers, practitioners, and policymakers on return migration. The book features cases of multiple non-Western countries in Asia (Philippines, China, India), Europe (Lithuania, Turkey, & Ukraine), the Middle East and North Africa (Morocco), and South America and the Caribbean (Mexico, Peru & Dominican Republic). Findings provide a unique opportunity to critically explore current thinking on return migration and investigate the relationship between migration and crisis from varying policy and operational viewpoints. This book, hence, attends to practitioners to develop creative solutions to both global and local policies and practices of return migration management in emerging market countries, which will support and accommodate both their returnees and residents amid challenging times. Jungwon Yeo is an Associate Professor in the School of Public Administration at the University of Central Florida. Her primary research focuses on enhancing attitudes, behaviors, and cognitions of diverse individuals and organizations and their collective decision-making process in critical policy contexts, such as disaster and crisis management, migration, and human security. Additionally, her research explores key topics shaping contemporary discourse in public administration, including accountability, ethics, leadership, and social justice, and their consequential impact on public service provision. Her research experience is demonstrated through refereed publications, national and international conference presentations, and multi-year interdisciplinary research grant awards.
