Governing International Labour Migration
Current Issues, Challenges and Dilemmas
AvChristina Gabriel,Hélène Pellerin
Inbunden, Engelska, 2008
2 422 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book offers a critical examination of the way in which the nature and governance of international labour migration is changing within a globalizing environment.It examines how labour mobility and the governance of labour migration are changing by exploring the links between political economy and differentiated forms of labour migration. Additionally, it considers the effects of new social models of inclusion and exclusion on labour migration. Therefore, the book troubles the conventional dichotomies and categorizations – permanent vs. temporary; skilled vs. unskilled; legal vs. illegal -- that have informed migration studies and regulatory frameworks. Theoretically, this volume contributes to an ongoing project of reframing the study of migration within politics and international relations.Bringing together an interdisciplinary group of scholars, drawing on examples from the European Union, North America and Asia, Governing International Labour Migration will be of interest to students and scholars of migration studies, IPE, international relations, and economics.

Counting Matters
Policy, Practice, and the Limits of Gender Equality Measurement in Canada

Inbunden, Engelska, 2024

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Counting Matters examines the ways in which the rise of gender equality measurement contributes to, but falls short of, effective gender equality policy implementation.As technocrats adopt often contextless indices, questions of the theoretical and practical limitations of measurement arise, especially as they pertain to social and cultural relations.The indicators being produced influence the allocation of resources as political decisions but are themselves part of a power regime based on the collection and analysis of data, a regime that obfuscates biases and the agendas behind the statistics.The book's contributors pose critical questions of the ways in which measurement culture manifests within the field of gender equality, asking how it is measured in different policy areas, how we might improve existing practices, and what is revealed through the examination and critique of the "technical turn" in policies that purport to promote gender equality.

Selling Diversity
Immigration, Multiculturalism, Employment Equity, and Globalization
AvYasmeen Abu-Laban,Christina Gabriel
Häftad, Engelska, 2002
281 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Since the 1990s, Canadian policy prescriptions for immigration, multiculturalism, and employment equity have equated globalization with global markets. This interpretation has transformed men and women of various ethnic backgrounds into trade-enhancing commodities who must justify their skills and talents in the language of business. This particular neo-liberal reading of globalization and public policy has resulted in a trend the authors call selling diversity.Using gender, race/ethnicity, and class lenses to frame their analysis, the authors review Canadian immigration, multiculturalism, and employment equity policies, including their different historical origins, to illustrate how a preference for selling diversity has emerged in the last decade. In the process they suggest that a commitment to enhance justice in a diverse society and world has been muted. Yet, neo-liberalism is not the only or inevitable option in this era of globalization, and Canadians are engaging in transnational struggles for rights and equality and thereby increasing the interconnectedness between peoples across the globe. Consequently, the emphasis on selling diversity might be challenged.

Although Canada is known internationally as a leader among industrialized countries for inclusive practices towards immigrants and refugees, the twenty-first century has witnessed a rise in the number of refugees and temporary migrant workers who are often denied citizenship and may also experience detention and deportation. Containing Diversity examines to what extent Canada’s long-standing support for immigration, multiculturalism, and citizenship has shifted in favour of discourses, policies, and practices that "contain" diversity.This book reflects on how diversity is being "contained" through practices designed to insulate the Canadian settler-colonial state. In assessing the Canadian government’s policies towards refugees and asylum seekers, economic migrants, family-class migrants, temporary foreign workers, and multiculturalism, the authors show the various contradictory practices in effect. Containing Diversity reflects on policy changes, analysed alongside the resurgence of right-wing political ideology and the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ultimately, Containing Diversity highlights the need for a re-imagining of new forms of solidarity that centre migrant and Indigenous justice.

Transnational Activism in North America

This open access book brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to examine how North American civil society organizations have actively mobilized within and across borders in response to the tumultuous social and economic changes in the region since the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Contributors from the three countries address the implications of recent changes in areas such trade, labour, migration and human rights. They draw on a rich and varied set of empirical case studies to detail the opportunities and constraints that activists have encountered as they navigate a changing landscape marked by the renegotiation of NAFTA, Trump’s threats to build a US-Mexico border wall, the COVID-19 pandemic and continued restrictions on migration. The contributors highlight organizing strategies, the potential for new alliances and pose critical questions about the nature of transnational activism in the current conjuncture.
