Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book follows the journeys of those fleeing war, poverty or political crises, risking their lives as they attempt to find sanctuary in Europe. Over the past 25 years, almost 40,000 migrants have been reported missing or died due to drowning or exhaustion on the borders of Europe. 6,000 migrants died in 2016 alone, making it the deadliest year on record. Growing numbers of arrivals since 2015 have caused a wave of panic to sweep across the countries of the European Union, which has responded with an increasingly entrenched policy - the only one it considers appropriate - of fortifying its external borders. As a result, numerous walls and fences have sprung up to "regulate the flows", new camps have been opened and reception centres have been set up beyond the frontiers of Europe, all accompanied by the steady militarisation of surveillance and repression. The EU has thus been just as active in precipitating this "migrant crisis" as it has been in prolonging its effects. Indeed, this crisis calls into question the entire European system for border management and policies on immigration and reception. Deconstructing preconceptions, changing the way we see others, probing borders and mapping the nexus of control and detention, the collection of articles, maps, photographs and illustrations in this Atlas provide an important critical geography of migration policies. Perfect for journalists, activists, students of geopolitics at school or university, this Atlas seeks, above all, to give migrants a voice.

Book excerpt: Les candidats à l'exil, fuyant les guerres, la pauvreté et les crises politiques, voyagent souvent au péril de leur vie. Depuis 25 ans, près de 40 000 migrants sont morts ou ont disparu, par noyade ou épuisement, aux frontières européennes, dont plus de 6 000 pour la seule année 2016, la plus meurtrière jamais enregistrée. L'augmentation des arrivées observées depuis 2015 a fait souffler un vent de panique au sein des Etats de l'Union européenne qui se sont ressaisis en durcissant la seule politique qui vaille à leurs yeux, le "renforcement des frontières extérieures" : multiplication des murs et barrières pour "réguler les flux", ouverture de nouveaux camps, externalisation de l'accueil, militarisation accrue de la surveillance et de la répression... La "crise des migrants" a été suscitée autant que subie et elle vient interroger tout le système européen des frontières, des politiques d'accueil et d'immigration. Déconstruire les a priori, changer les regards, interroger les frontières, cartographier le contrôle sécuritaire et l'enfermement, enfin, et surtout, donner la parole aux migrants : tels sont les objectifs des textes, cartes, photographies et illustrations réunis dans cet atlas critique des politiques migratoires européennes.

Book excerpt: At the end of 2020, there were an estimated 281 million people around the world who had migrated from one country to live in another. Many millions more moved within their countries of origin, migrating from villages and towns to rapidly-growing cities. Migration has continued to be a policy priority for Europe. The EU has had to respond to several crises, whether in the case of people fleeing Afghanistan, crossing the Mediterranean Sea or camping out in the cold at the EU's external borders. At the same time, it has also sought to create more pathways for legal migration because, in the words of Commissioner for Home Affairs Ylva Johansson, 'Europe needs talent ... So Europe can have the skills we need to face the future. And to help us manage migration to Europe, in an orderly way.'1 In this context, the latest iteration of the Atlas of Migration could not be more important. The Atlas collates international data which are harmonised and validated for 27 EU Member States and 171 countries and territories around the world. These data are presented in individual country profiles, and overviews for continents and sub-continental regions. The 2021 edition also includes a thematic section which provides new insights on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on migration in Europe and around the world. Each year, the Atlas of Migration provides a shining example of the innovation, rigour and collaboration which characterises the Joint Research Centre's support to evidence-based policymaking in the European Commission. My personal thanks go not only to the team members who have produced this tool, but also to the broader network of colleagues across the Commission and the EEAS who have fed into its development and dissemination. Finally, let us also remember that there is much more to migration than the numbers. Many migrants, with their own experiences, aspirations, hopes and fears, have played a key part in our societies' response to and recovery from the pandemic. Two children of Turkish immigrants to Germany, Ugur Sahin and Özlem Türeci, founded the company which produced the first vaccine approved for use against the virus. And thousands of migrants in key worker roles have kept our societies functioning. Migration has shaped societies around the world, and continues to do so.
Download or read book Atlas des migrants en Europe written by Réseau MIGREUROP and published by Armand Colin. This book was released on 2009-09-23 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’Union européenne compte aujourd’hui près de 78 000 kilomètres de frontières, chiffre qu’il faut doubler si l’on y ajoute les frontières internes des États membres. Depuis le milieu des années 1980, les États européens ne cessent de renforcer les contrôles migratoires à ces frontières, ainsi que dans les pays d’où partent et par lesquels transitent les migrants, ce qui a pour effet de rendre les parcours plus dangereux et d’assigner à résidence les populations les plus pauvres de la planète. Pour comprendre l’évolution de ces politiques migratoires européennes et leurs conséquences, l’Atlas de Migreurop donne à voir des réalités peu connues du grand public. À cette fin, Migreurop a rassemblé des informations d’une réalité difficile à saisir, du fait de l’échelle géographique du phénomène, mais aussi d’une volonté de dissimulation des gouvernements européens. L’ouvrage s’organise autour de quatre grands thèmes : - La difficile mondialisation des flux migratoires. · - Les contrôles des migrations internationales : vers un protectionnisme accru ? · - L’enfermement au coeur des politiques européennes d’asile et d’immigration. · - Les conséquences des politiques européennes de maîtrise des flux migratoires ou la remise en cause des droits fondamentaux. Pour chacun de ces thèmes, l’atlas rassemble textes, cartes, graphiques, illustrations et photographies pour faire évoluer les représentations classiques de la frontière, permettre d’appréhender la façon dont les frontières se déplacent et s’« externalisent », visualiser les infrastructures mises au service des politiques de contrôle et illustrer le développement sécuritaire de la question migratoire en Europe et au-delà.
Download or read book The Irregularization of Migration in Contemporary Europe written by Yolande Jansen and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-12-12 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Working from an interdisciplinary perspective that draws on the social sciences, legal studies, and the humanities, this book investigates the causes and effects of the extremities experienced by migrants. Firstly, the volume analyses the development and political-cultural conditions of current practices and discourses of “bordering,” “illegality,” and “irregularization.” Secondly, it focuses on the varieties of irregularization and on the diversity of the fields, techniques and effects involved in this variegation. Thirdly, the book examines examples of resistance that migrants and migratory cultures have developed in order to deal with the predicaments they face. The book uses the European Union as its case study, exploring practices and discourses of bordering, border control, and migration regulation. But the significance of this field extends well beyond the European context as the monitoring of Europe’s borders increasingly takes place on a global scale and reflects an internationally increasing trend.
Download or read book Atlas des migrants en Europe written by Migreurop and published by Armand Colin. This book was released on 2012 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chaque année, des milliers de candidats à l'exil fuient leur pays en guerre ou en crise pour rejoindre l'Europe, certains à bord d'embarcations de fortune surchargées et défaillantes. Des centaines d'entre eux n'y parviendront jamais et y laisseront leur vie, par noyade ou épuisement. Face au prétendu « danger » que représentent ces migrants selon nombre de dirigeants, la militarisation des frontières européennes, notamment au sud et à l'est, et le renforcement des contrôles apparaissent aujourd'hui comme les seuls mots d'ordre. Et, en ce début de XXIe siècle, traversé par une crise économique de grande ampleur, la situation ne semble pas près de s'améliorer. La nouvelle édition de l'Atlas des migrants en Europe propose une évaluation critique des politiques européennes d'asile et d'immigration établies depuis les années 1980 : délivrance problématique des visas « Schengen », délocalisation des contrôles frontaliers dans les pays voisins (Libye, Turquie ou Ukraine), opérations de l'agence européenne Frontex pour intercepter les « indésirables », construction de murs comme en Grèce, multiplication des formes d'enfermement des étrangers, organisation régulière de « charters » pour les expulsions. autant de dispositifs qui dressent toujours plus d'obstacles à l'immigration dans le territoire de l'Union. Fruits d'un long travail de terrain auprès des migrants et des populations maintenues en centre de rétention, les cartes, textes, graphiques et photographies inédits ici rassemblés permettent de saisir et comprendre des réalités complexes et peu connues du grand public. Depuis dix ans, Migreurop, réseau européen d'associations, de chercheurs et de militants, fait connaître, analyse et dénonce la généralisation de l'enfermement des étrangers dépourvus de titre de séjour et l'externalisation des contrôles, qui sont au cour de la politique migratoire de l'Union européenne.
Download or read book New Patterns of Irregular Migration in Europe written by Stéphane de Tapia and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the discussions and findings of a Council of Europe expert seminar meeting, held in Strasbourg in November 2002, as well as a literature review, this publication considers the complex and interrelated issues involved in irregular migration flows in Europe, including illegal migration, applications for and refusal of asylum, and traffic in human beings. It also considers possible options for improving reception and migration policy management in Europe. Conclusions drawn include that closing external borders or implementing strict migration policies in countries of transit or arrival are often ineffective, benefiting criminal networks whilst contributing to rising fears in host countries.

Download or read book Migration in the Mediterranean written by Elena Ambrosetti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-26 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Migration in the Mediterranean region is a widely debated and much studied topic. This is due to the present refugee crisis, consequences of Arab revolutions, the proximity with emigration and transit countries, but also to the involvement of southern European countries and the mass arrival of migrants. The management of Border controls, migration, development, human trafficking, human rights and the clash or convergence of civilizations has generated a great deal of controversy and media attention. Migration in the Mediterranean offers a unique multidisciplinary theoretical and methodological framework, bringing together scholars from different subject areas. This book aims to address the following research questions: What are the main characteristics of migration movements in this region? What are the most important theoretical challenges? What are the perspectives for the future? This book begins with an overview of the economic perspective of the Mediterranean migration model, with a particular focus on labour market outcomes of migrants. It then presents the original results of field studies on the unintended effects of the EU's external border controls on migration and integration in the Euro-Mediterranean region, before addressing the themes of mobility, migration and transnationalism. This volume focuses on migration with a multidisciplinary approach, with scholars from various areas including sociology, economics, geography, political science and history. This book is well suited for those who study international economics, migration and political sociology.
Download or read book Queer and Trans African Mobilities written by B Camminga and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-06-16 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, ASR Best Africa-Focused Edited Collection by the African Studies Review Recent years have seen increased scholarly and media interest in the cross-border movements of LGBT persons, particularly those seeking protection in the Global North . While this has helped focus attention on the plight of individuals fleeing homophobic or transphobic persecution, it has also reinvigorated racist tropes about the Global South. In the case of Africa, the expansion of anti-LGBT laws and the prevalence of hetero-patriarchal discourses are regularly cited as evidence of an inescapable savagery. The figure of the LGBT refugee – often portrayed as helplessly awaiting rescue – reinforces colonial notions about the continent and its peoples. Queer and Trans African Mobilities draws on diverse case studies from the length and breadth of Africa, offering the first in-depth investigation of LGBT migration on and from the continent. The collection provides new insights into the drivers and impacts of displacement linked to sexual orientation or gender identity and challenges notions about why LGBT Africans move, where they are going and what they experience along the way.
Download or read book Externalizing Migration Management written by Ruben Zaiotti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extension of border controls beyond a country’s territory to regulate the flows of migrants before they arrive has become a popular and highly controversial policy practice. Today, remote control policies are more visible, complex and widespread than ever before, raising various ethical, political and legal issues for the governments promoting them. The book examines the externalization of migration control from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective, focusing on ‘remote control’ initiatives in Europe and North America, with contributions from the fields of politics, sociology, law, geography, anthropology, and history. This book uses empirically rich analyses and compelling theoretical insights to trace the evolution of ‘remote control’ initiatives and assesses their impact and policy implications. It also explores competing theoretical models that might explain their emergence and diffusion. Individual chapters tackle some of the most puzzling questions underlying remote control policies, such as the reasons why governments adopt these policies and what might be their impact on migrants and other actors involved.
Download or read book Borderscaping Imaginations and Practices of Border Making written by Dr Chiara Brambilla and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2015-12-28 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the borderscapes concept, this book offers an approach to border studies that expresses the multilevel complexity of borders, from the geopolitical to social practice and cultural production at and across the border. Accordingly, it encourages a productive understanding of the processual, de-territorialized and dispersed nature of borders and their ensuring regimes in the era of globalization and transnational flows as well as showcasing border research as an interdisciplinary field with its own academic standing. Contemporary bordering processes and practices are examined through the borderscapes lens to uncover important connections between borders as a ‘challenge' to national (and EU) policies and borders as potential elements of political innovation through conceptual (re-)framings of social, political, economic and cultural spaces. The authors offer a nuanced and critical re-reading and understanding of the border not as an entity to be taken for granted, but as a place of investigation and as a resource in terms of the construction of novel (geo)political imaginations, social and spatial imaginaries and cultural images. In so doing, they suggest that rethinking borders means deconstructing the interweaving between political practices of inclusion-exclusion and the images created to support and communicate them on the cultural level by Western territorialist modernity. The result is a book that proposes a wandering through a constellation of bordering policies, discourses, practices and images to open new possibilities for thinking, mapping, acting and living borders under contemporary globalization.
