Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In fundamental rights adjudication, a court first has to determine whether the interest at stake falls within the scope of the fundamental right invoked.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past few years have seen an unprecedented mass migration to Europe, as refugees from war and poverty throughout north Africa and the Middle East have embarked on perilous journeys across the Mediterranean in the hope of being allowed to start new lives in Europe. This book draws on more than five hundred firsthand accounts to reveal the human story behind the statistics and demagoguery. What is it like to set out for Europe with your family, knowing the dangers you face on the way? Why are so many people willing to risk their lives crossing the Mediterranean? What are their hopes and fears? And why is Europe, one of the richest regions of the world, unable to cope? More than just telling a human story, Heaven Crawley and colleagues provide a framework for understanding the dynamics underpinning the current wave of migration and challenging politicians, policy makers, and the media to rethink their understanding of why and how people move. --

Download or read book L expropriation pour cause d utilit publique written by David Renders and published by Primento. This book was released on 2013-11-04 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’administration est investie de missions multiples et variées, qu’elle a le devoir d’accomplir dans le respect de l’intérêt général. Pour ce faire, elle peut compter sur des moyens humains, matériels et financiers, tous indispensables à la réalisation de son action. Dans le cadre de l’action qu’elle mène, l’administration peut avoir besoin d’acquérir des biens qui, par hypothèse, sont la propriété de tiers. L’expropriation constitue, parmi d’autres, un instrument lui permettant d’atteindre ce résultat. Parce qu’il porte inévitablement atteinte au droit de propriété, l’instrument de droit public immobilier que constitue l’expropriation ne saurait être mis en oeuvre en toutes circonstances et sans condition. Qu’est-ce que l’expropriation ? Qui en sont les acteurs et quel est le rôle qui leur est assigné ? Que recouvre l’exigence d’utilité publique ? Quelle est la procédure à suivre pour exproprier ? Une indemnité est-elle due ? En toutes circonstances ? Par qui ? Pour qui ? Laquelle ? L’hypothèse de ce qu’il est convenu d’appeler la quasi-expropriation répond-t-elle à des mêmes exigences ? C’est à ces différentes questions que nombre des meilleurs spécialistes en la matière ont accepté de répondre, dans le cadre d’un colloque organisé par le Centre Montesquieu d’études de l’action publique, dont le présent ouvrage contient les actes.

Download or read book Translocal Geographies written by Dr Ayona Datta and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-11-28 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together a wide range of original empirical research from locations and interconnected geographical contexts from Europe, Australasia, Asia, Africa, Central and Latin America, this book sets out a different agenda for mobility - one which emphasizes the enduring connectedness between, and embeddedness within, places during and after the experience of mobility. These issues are examined through the themes of home and family, neighbourhoods and city spaces and allow the reader to engage with migrants' diverse practices which are specifically local, yet spatially global. This book breaks new ground by arguing for a spatial understanding of translocality that situates the migrant experience within/across particular 'locales' without confining it to the territorial boundedness of the nation state. It will be of interest to academics and students of social and cultural geography, anthropology and transnational studies.

Download or read book Transnational Migration written by Thomas Faist and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-03 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing interconnections between nation-states across borders have rendered the transnational a key tool for understanding our world. It has made particularly strong contributions to immigration studies and holds great promise for deepening insights into international migration. This is the first book to provide an accessible yet rigorous overview of transnational migration, as experienced by family and kinship groups, networks of entrepreneurs, diasporas and immigrant associations. As well as defining the core concept, it explores the implications of transnational migration for immigrant integration and its relationship to assimilation. By examining its political, economic, social, and cultural dimensions, the authors capture the distinctive features of the new immigrant communities that have reshaped the ethno-cultural mix of receiving nations, including the US and Western Europe. Importantly, the book also examines the effects of transnationality on sending communities, viewing migrants as agents of political and economic development. This systematic and critical overview of transnational migration perfectly balances theoretical discussion with relevant examples and cases, making it an ideal book for upper-level students covering immigration and transnational relations on sociology, political science, and globalization courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Refugee and Forced Migration Studies has grown from being a concern of a relatively small number of scholars and policy researchers in the 1980s to a global field of interest with thousands of students worldwide studying displacement either from traditional disciplinary perspectives or as a core component of newer programmes across the Humanities and Social and Political Sciences. Today the field encompasses both rigorous academic research which may or may not ultimately inform policy and practice, as well as action-research focused on advocating in favour of refugees' needs and rights. This authoritative Handbook critically evaluates the birth and development of Refugee and Forced Migration Studies, and analyses the key contemporary and future challenges faced by academics and practitioners working with and for forcibly displaced populations around the world. The 52 state-of-the-art chapters, written by leading academics, practitioners, and policymakers working in universities, research centres, think tanks, NGOs and international organizations, provide a comprehensive and cutting-edge overview of the key intellectual, political, social and institutional challenges arising from mass displacement in the world today. The chapters vividly illustrate the vibrant and engaging debates that characterize this rapidly expanding field of research and practice.
