Issues discussed include: international migration and the challenges of globalisation; Arab migration patterns in the Mashreq, Maghreb and Gulf regions; sources of remittances; the exodus of skilled labour and its impact on development; a study of Egyptian return migrants; human rights and foreign contract labour; and the links of Arab 'diasporas' to their countries of origin.

Download or read book Migration from North Africa and the Middle East written by Alessandra Venturini and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-06-22 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The countries of the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean (SEM) and those in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are crucial to the development of the world economy. Highly skilled migration to and from these regions is key to the recent socio-political transformations that have occurred across the world. Despite this, in the states concerned, skilled migration remains an underlying 'issue of concern', rather than at the top of political agendas, leading to a spectrum of unclear and uncoordinated legal and policy frameworks. Containing a series of thematic and country-specific overviews, this book highlights the specificity of each region, and identifies and analyses key demographic, economic, legal and political data - allowing for policy prescription. Skilled Migration, the 'brain drain', and its impact is an extensively debated phenomenon and this will be an essential companion for social scientists, policy-makers and development scholars.

Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia and published by United Nations Publications. This book was released on 2008-01-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International migration is a steadily expanding international phenomenan of long standing, which impacts on global economies and the political and economic relations between sending and receiving countries. One of the most important indicators of the dynamism and complexity of international migration is perhaps the fact that it is directly, rapidly and instantly affected by the challenges of globalization at the Arab regional and international levels. The first section of this report considers the trends and patterns of Arab migration. Since the 1970s, Arab migration has continued to change, not only with respect to size, but also as regards composition, the qualifications of migrants, the countries they target and the repercussions of migration in receiving and sending counries. For decades, the Arab labour market was instrumented in balancing the needs of countries with excess labour, high demographic rates and scarce resources, and those countries with an economic surplus, low demographic rates and a scarcity of labour. This relates specifically to non-oil Arab countries versus oil countries. The second section of the report address international migration and its relevance top development in Arab countries.
Download or read book Arab Worlds Beyond the Middle East and North Africa written by Mariam F. Alkazemi and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-06-17 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just like people around the world have done for generations, Arab people from the Middle East and North African (MENA) region have immigrated to various nations around the world. A number of ‘push’ factors account for why groups have left their homeland and ‘pulled’ to another nation to settle. The history and patterns of Arab migration out of the MENA illustrates the wide array of reasons for these patterns, primarily illustrating that mass emigration and settlement are highly linked to a number of factors, including social, political, economic, familial climates of each nation-state and its policies. If it is one takeaway that this edited volume brings to light, it is that the Arab MENA does not only include a diverse population within each nation-state it also illustrates the ways in which their settlement in new nations have contributed to their own identity development patterns, their communities, and that of their new nation-state. This book celebrates the achievements and acknowledges the challenges of the new communities that Arabs have built around the world. It shows examples of societies that have embraced the Arab diaspora as well as examples of sidelining these communities. These examples come from a number of subject areas, from music to international affairs. The examples are both contemporary and historical, authored by individuals with a diverse set of disciplinary lenses and professional training. This book is meant to fill a gap in the literature as it expands on the understanding of Arab communities to inform and inspire a more nuanced, inclusive approach to the study of the Arab diaspora. It does so by revealing untold stories that challenge stereotypes to push for more inclusive media representation of Arab identity and its development in various regions of the world.
Download or read book Understanding Global Migration written by James F. Hollifield and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding Global Migration offers scholars a groundbreaking account of emerging migration states around the globe, especially in the Global South. Leading scholars of migration have collaborated to provide a birds-eye view of migration interdependence. Understanding Global Migration proposes a new typology of migration states, identifying multiple ideal types beyond the classical liberal type. Much of the world's migration has been to countries in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and South America. The authors assembled here account for diverse histories of colonialism, development, and identity in shaping migration policy. This book provides a truly global look at the dilemmas of migration governance: Will migration be destabilizing, or will it lead to greater openness and human development? The answer depends on the capacity of states to manage migration, especially their willingness to respect the rights of the ever-growing portion of the world's population that is on the move.

Download or read book Migration Urbanity and Cosmopolitanism in a Globalized World written by Catherine Lejeune and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-10 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book draws a theoretically productive triangle between urban studies, theories of cosmopolitanism, and migration studies in a global context. It provides a unique, encompassing and situated view on the various relations between cosmopolitanism and urbanity in the contemporary world. Drawing on a variety of cities in Latin America, Europe, Asia, Africa and North America, it overcomes the Eurocentric bias that has marked debate on cosmopolitanism from its inception. The contributions highlight the crucial role of migrants as actors of urban change and targets of urban policies, thus reconciling empirical and normative approaches to cosmopolitanism. By addressing issues such as cosmopolitanism and urban geographies of power, locations and temporalities of subaltern cosmopolites, political meanings and effects of cosmopolitan practices and discourses in urban contexts, it revisits contemporary debates on superdiversity, urban stratification and local incorporation, and assess the role of migration and mobility in globalization and social change.

Download or read book British Muslims Under the Influence of Globalization and Migration written by Matthias Dickert and published by . This book was released on 2014-06-20 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholarly Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Globalization, Political Economics, language: English, abstract: Despite its obvious importance, the relationship between globalization, migration and religion is a fairly neglected phenomenon in scientific research. The religion of Islam is amongst the world religions to be hit the hardest by globalization processes. At the same time, more radical forms of Islam, in the shape of fundamentalism, seem to gain more and more influence in the West as well as in the Arabic world. In Great Britain, migration movements after World War II proved that Muslims are still not integrated in British society. Most Muslims still ask themselves the question 'Are we Muslims in Britain or are we British Muslims?' This dilemma increased after 9/11 and 2005 and opened the doors for the radical ideas simply because Islam serves well to provide identity in a diaspora situation. This essay tries to show how globalization, migration and Islam are interwoven and in how far British society is threatened by fundamentalism which still hinders a dialogue on both sides.
