Book excerpt: Les migrations internationales constituent aujourd’hui, dans toutes les régions du globe, un enjeu majeur du politique. Elles font l’objet d’accords internationaux, engendrent des litiges diplomatiques et, surtout, défient en permanence l’ordre du « national ». L’immigrant se heurte à des frontières, spatiales et administratives ; l’émigrant renégocie en permanence ses relations à son pays d’origine. Aussi les migrations obligent-elles sans cesse à repenser les frontières, les manières de conceptualiser un territoire et, plus largement, la souveraineté politique d’un État-nation. Dans un Moyen-Orient arabe en pleine crise sociale, économique et politique, l’intensification des mouvements d’immigration et d’émigration, mais aussi celle des migrations de transit, est porteuse, en ce tournant de siècle, d’enjeux politiques spécifiques. L’implication accrue des diasporas dans les pays de départ, l’exploitation persistante des migrants dits « de travail », la présence des réfugiés de Palestine et, depuis peu, d’Irak ou du Soudan, les débats populaires que suscitent ces sujets, y posent de façon renouvelée la question du politique, des définitions de la nation à l’inscription régionale et internationale des États. Dans ce contexte émergent de nouveaux modes d’instrumentalisation, par les acteurs du politique, des mouvements migratoires intra-régionaux et internationaux, dont ce livre explore des exemples significatifs : « mobilité du travail et du capital » comme stratégie de politique intérieure et étrangère en Jordanie, rôle des États dans les migrations de travail (travail domestique en Jordanie et dans les pays du Golfe ; main-d’œuvre syrienne au Liban), gestion des réfugiés palestiniens dans les pays arabes, défi posé par les membres de cette diaspora à la rigidité des concepts de frontière et de citoyenneté portés par les acteurs du processus de paix, sort des réfugiés non palestiniens au Liban, caractère éminemment politique des débats sur la nationalité dans ce pays, rôle de l’Église maronite, acteur désormais transnational, sur la scène politique libanaise... Discours sur, représentation d’une identité nationale, instrument de politique intérieure mais aussi stratégie de relations internationales, les mesures de contrôle et de gestion des flux migratoires mettent en relief la pluralité croissante des notions de nationalité, de population nationale, de territoire, de même que les changements qui affectent les modalités du « contrat social ». Elles...

This book was released on 1994 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage regroupe vingt-trois contributions de spécialistes du Moyen-Orient qui, autour de quelques thémes stratégiques, proposent des synthéses et ouvrent des pistes de réflexion sur les problémes sociopolitiques de la région. La premiére partie aborde la question des flux migratoires et des déplacements forcés. Plusieurs études de cas dans la région (les Afghans au Pakistan, les camps palestiniens á Amman, les Gulf returnees au Yémen et en Jordanie, les filiéres des Somalis dans le Golfe), mais aussi en Europe (les associations turques en Suisse et les élites maghrébines en France), permettent d'analyser les dynamiques internes aux groupes des migrants et des réfugiés, leurs relations avec les acteurs nationaux et internationaux et le rôle des médiateurs sociaux. Le théme transversal aux études de la deuxiéme partie est celui des transitions démocratiques. Impulsés localement ou de l'extérieur, trois facteurs semblent á l'origine des demandes de démocratisation: les processus de libéralisation économique, la politisation du religieux ou «l'islamisation» du politique et les effets de la guerre du Golfe. Aprés des analyses historiques pour le Maghreb et le Machreq, des études détaillées présentent les cas de l'Afghanistan, de l'Égypte, de l'Irak, de l'Iran, de la Jordanie, du Koweit et de la Syrie. La troisiéme partie identifie un certain nombre d'enjeux internationaux. Qu'il s'agisse des problémes de fond relatifs aux débats sur les questions du droit humanitaire et du droit d'ingérence ou des «nouvelles règles» de coopération au développement que recherchent certains États européens, ces phénoménes dépassent par les enjeux qu'ils constituent, le cadre moyen-oriental. Enfin, sur le plan géopolitique, la fin de la guerre froide impose de considérer la réémergence du Caucase et de l'Asie centrale, avec les recompositions régionales et les nouvelles interrogations que cela souléve, ainsi que les stratégies des pays «promoteurs» du fondamentalisme islamique et les effets sur les pays musulmans.

This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'In this outstanding contribution to scholarship on the politics of migration, Tsourapas shows how migration policies in the Global South are shaped by power and interests. Based on rich historical research, Migration diplomacy unveils the range of strategies used by Middle Eastern and North African states to link human mobility to broader political goals.' Alexander Betts, Professor of Forced Migration and International Affairs, University of Oxford 'Tsourapas provides us with a fascinating analytical framework and argues that the politics of migratory movements can be better understood when looked at through the lens of migration diplomacy.' Ahmet Içduygu, Professor of International Relations and Sociology, Koç University 'Tsourapas has produced a deeply-researched, beautifully written and thought-provoking addition to the burgeoning literature on migration diplomacy. His book is a must-read text for anyone interested in the study of migration, diasporic mobilization and the politics of the MENA region.' Kelly M. Greenhill, Research Fellow, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University How does migration feature in states’ diplomatic agendas across the Middle East? Migration diplomacy provides the first systematic examination of the foreign policy importance of migrants, refugees and diasporas in the Global South. Tsourapas examines how emigration-related processes become embedded in governmental practices of establishing and maintaining power; how states engage with migrant and diasporic communities residing in the West; how oil-rich Arab monarchies have extended their support for a number of sending states’ ruling regimes via cooperation on labour migration; and, finally, how labour and forced migrants may serve as instruments of political leverage. Drawing on multi-sited fieldwork and data collection and employing a range of case-studies across the Middle East and North Africa, Tsourapas identifies how the management of cross-border mobility in the Middle East is not primarily dictated by legal, moral, or human rights considerations but driven by states’ actors key concern – political power.

Download or read book Revisiting Moroccan Migrations written by Mohammed Berriane and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the 20th century, Morocco has become one of the world’s major emigration countries. But since 2000, growing immigration and settlement of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Europe confronts Morocco with an entirely new set of social, cultural, political and legal issues. This book explores how continued emigration and increasing immigration is transforming contemporary Moroccan society, with a particular emphasis on the way the Moroccan state is dealing with shifting migratory realities. The authors of this collective volume embark on a dialogue between theory and empirical research, showcasing how contemporary migration theories help understanding recent trends in Moroccan migration, and, vice-versa, how the specific Moroccan case enriches migration theory. This perspective helps to overcome the still predominant Western-centric research view that artificially divide the world into ‘receiving’ and ‘sending’ countries and largely disregards the dynamics of and experiences with migration in countries in the Global South. This book was previously published as a special issue of The Journal of North African Studies.

This book was released on 2016-08-26 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confronting questions of globalization, mobilities and space in the Mediterranean, and more specifically in the eastern Mediterranean, this book introduces a new type of complexity and ambiguity to the study of the global. In this theoretical frame an increasingly urban articulation of global logics and struggles, and an escalating use of urban space to make political claims, not only by citizens but also by foreigners, can be found. By emphasizing the interplay between global, regional and local phenomena, the book examines new forms and conditions, such as the transformation of borders, the reconfiguration of transnational communities, the agency of transnational families, new mobilities and diasporas, and transnational networks of humanitarian response.

This book was released on 2019-11-30 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook presents a broad yet nuanced portrait of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, its socio-political rifts, economic challenges, foreign policy priorities and historical complexities. The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan has traditionally been an oasis of peace and stability in the ever-turbulent Middle East. The political ambitions of regional powers, often expressed in the form of territorial aggrandisement, have followed the Hashemites like an inseparable shadow. The scarcity of natural resources, especially water, has been compounded by the periodic influx of refugees from its neighbours. As a result, many—Arab and non-Arab alike—have questioned the longevity and survival of Jordan. These uncertainties were compounded when the founding ruler, King Abdullah I, became involved in the nascent Palestinian problem at the end of World War II. The annexation of the eastern part of Mandate Palestine or the West Bank in the wake of the 1948 War transformed the Jordanian demography and sowed the seeds of an uneasy relationship with the Palestinian component of its population, citizens, residents and refugees. Though better natural resources and stronger leaders have not ensured political stability in many Arab and non-Arab countries, Jordan has been an exception. Indeed, since its formation as an Emirate by the British in 1921, the Kingdom has seen only four rulers, a testimony to the sagacity and political foresight of the Hashemites. The Hashemites have managed to sustain the semi-rentier model primarily through international aid and assistance, which in turn inhibits Jordan from pursuing rapid political and economic reforms. Though a liberal, multi-religious and multicultural society, Jordan has been hampered by social cleavages especially between the tribal population and the forces of modernization.

Download or read book From Pluralism to Extinction Perspectives and Challenges for Christians in the Middle East written by Sotiris Roussos and published by Transnational Press London. This book was released on 2023-07-16 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian communities are deeply rooted in the Middle East, starting their witness since the first centuries of Christianity. The last hundred years of Middle East Christianity’s history went through a series of profound crises. Displacement by war, genocide and occupation leading to loss, emigration and exile seem to be the main experience of Christianity in the modern Middle East. Against this background of displacement, Christians have sought to resettle and build anew when allowed. They have been able to make significant cultural, political and economic contribution to Middle Eastern societies. In the last thirty years they are again facing ominous threat of extinction. Entering the new millennium, they are confronted with major difficulties and transformations in world politics. From 2011 Christians particularly in Syria and Iraq, have been suffering death and destruction in the hands of extremist Islamist groups. The volume is a fresh approach to the study of the Christian communities in the Middle East examining their relation to state, identity and politics. It questions main presuppositions and perceptions regarding Christianity in the Middle East, casts new light on the living Christian communities in the region and reflects on their future role.

Download or read book Refugee Governance State and Politics in the Middle East written by Zeynep Şahin Mencütek and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The movement of displaced people, migrants and refugees has become increasingly important around the world, leading to a need for increased scrutiny of global responses and policies towards migration. This book focuses on the Middle East, where many nations are part of this global phenomenon as both home, transit and/or host country. Refugee Governance, State and Politics in the Middle East examines the patterns of legal, political and institutional responses to large-scale Syrian forced migration. It analyses the motivations behind neighbouring countries' policy responses, how their responses change over time and how they have an impact on regional and global cooperation. Looking in particular at Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan, three of the world's top refugee hosting countries, this book explores how refugee governance differs across countries and why they diverge. To theorize variations, the book introduces multi-pattern and multi-stage refugee governance models as two complementary analytical frameworks. The book further argues that each of these three states’ refugee responses is constructed based on three main factors: internal political interests, economic-development related concerns, and foreign policy objectives as well as interactions among them. The book’s categorizations and models (on policy fields, actors, stages, patterns and driving forces) provide analytical tools to researchers for comparative analyses. Scholars and students of Comparative Politics, International Relations, Refugee Studies, Global Governance and Middle Eastern Studies will find this book a useful contribution to their fields.
