The freedom to choose where to live and work is a fundamental right in liberal societies. The moral equality of persons is the basic principle of democratic politics. But liberal democracy has no coherent theory of boundaries, or how members should be selected for political communities. The global economy requires mobility across borders, but liberal democracy cannot reconcile the demands of footloose and rivalrous economic agents with the human needs of sedentary and vulnerable populations. These are urgent issues for the new century, as the upsurge of nationalist, authoritarian and racist movements threatens the liberal democratic order. Mass migrations in search of political freedom and economic opportunity expose incoherence in states’ policies, and in theories of equality and justice. Whilst globalization allows new opportunities for mobility and membership in a chosen community, claims for income support or humanitarian protection are viewed as signs of moral defectiveness. In this book, Bill Jordan and Franck Düvell offer an alternative to market-driven regimes for migration management, which select those able to make economic contributions, whilst confining vulnerable outsiders to impoverished and excluded communities of fate.

Transit migration, comprising mixed flows of refugees and labour, is widely considered a concern and even security threat. However, the concept is as vague and blurred as it is politicised. This volume offers evidence-based, comprehensive coverage of the entire belt of countries in the neighbourhood of the EU, ranging from Russia to Morocco. Transit migration is critically analyzed from the perspective of sending, transit and receiving countries, offering new insights into refugee and irregular migration flows, transnational migration networks and overlapping migration systems.

What is it like to travel to Europe over land and sea in order to secure a future for yourself and your family? 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? Drawing on compelling first-hand accounts from 500 people who arrived on the shores of Europe in 2015, this important new book unpacks their routes, experiences and decisions. It provides a framework for understanding the dynamics underpinning recent unprecedented levels of migration across, and loss of life in, the Mediterranean, casting new light on the ‘migration crisis’ and challenging politicians, policy makers and the media to rethink their understanding of why and how people move.

Irregular Migration is an extremely timely and topical book, analysing the fundamental tensions at the core of present attempts to manage the movement of population in today's world. Recent events around the globe have prompted a reappraisal of the emerging consensus on migration control. Business demands free movement while nations fear unregulated population flows. The replacement of immigration control with migration management is the aim of First World governments as irregular migration challenges states' attempts to find a balance between recruitment of labour, humanitarian protection and national security. This book provides a theoretical framework for the analysis of mobility and border crossings in an age of globalisation. It draws upon the authors' pioneering research on people working in the UK without proper immigration status, the organisations that support immigrants, and the responses of control agencies and public services. Losers in the global economy, who vote with their feet as economic migrants, are making a claim to justice as well as trying to improve their standards of living. The book concludes with an evaluation of the justification for border controls, and of the prospects for migration regimes under conditions of growing inequality.This fascinating book will be warmly welcomed by academics and researchers in economics, politics, migration studies, social policy and economic geography. NGOs and policymakers concerned with immigration, asylum and public service provision will also find this invaluable reading.

Der jährliche Fluchtbericht zu einem der drängendsten Probleme unserer ZeitFlucht ist eine globale Herausforderung. Schon das 20. Jahrhundert galt als »Jahrhundert der Flüchtlinge«. Anfang des 21. Jahrhunderts ist die Zahl der Schutzsuchenden keineswegs gesunken. Dazu tragen militärische Auseinandersetzungen und bewaffnete Konflikte ebenso bei wie der Zerfall von Staaten und autoritäre politische Systeme, die oppositionelle Handlungen und Nonkonformität im eigenen Land nicht dulden. Auch Klima- und Umweltkatastrophen oder Effekte globaler Ungleichheit werden in politischen, medialen, öffentlichen und wissenschaftlichen Debatten als Hintergründe von Fluchtbewegungen einbezogen. Der jährliche Fluchtbericht bietet fundiertes Wissen zu den weltweiten Fluchtbewegungen und ihren Folgen. Schwerpunkt 2023 ist die Flucht als Folge des Ukraine-Krieges.

Zum Weltflüchtlingstag 2024: Der jährliche Bericht zu einem der drängendsten Themen unserer ZeitFlucht ist eine der größten Herausforderungen unserer Zeit. Der »Report Globale Flucht« versammelt forschungsbasiertes Wissen aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven und verschafft so einen Überblick über zentrale Debatten, aktuelle Entwicklungen und Hintergründe zum Thema Flucht. Schwerpunkt des Reports 2024 ist die Asylpolitik der Europäischen Union. Herausgegeben von Jochen Oltmer, Marcel Berlinghoff, Franck Düvell, Christine Lang und Andreas Pott im Auftrag des Projekts »Flucht- und Flüchtlingsforschung: Vernetzung und Transfer« (FFVT).Mit Beiträgen von Ludger Pries, Petra Bendel, Carolien Jacobs, Nader Talebi u.v.a.

Die forschungsbasierte Perspektive auf das Thema FluchtFlucht ist eine globale Herausforderung, über die oft nur verkürzt berichtet wird. Der »Report Globale Flucht« bietet ein Gegengewicht: Über 30 Autorinnen und Autoren aus verschiedenen Wissenschaftsbereichen schreiben hier über Hintergründe, Entwicklungen und Diskurse rund um das Thema Flucht. Der Band stellt damit forschungsbasiertes Wissen bereit und beleuchtet ein Thema, über das oft nur punktuell, einseitig und populistisch berichtet wird.Schwerpunkt des diesjährigen Reports ist das Thema Lager. In diesem Band schreiben unter anderem Albert Scherr über Flüchtlingslager und -politik in Jordanien, Vera Rugova und Tengiz Dalalishvili über die Lage in Armenien und Bergkarabach und Jochen Oltmer über den Umgang mit Flüchtlingen in der Weimarer Republik.Der »Report Globale Flucht« erscheint im Auftrag des Projekts »Flucht- und Flüchtlingsforschung: Vernetzung und Transfer« (FFVT) und wird herausgegeben von Jochen Oltmer, Marcel Berlinghoff, Benjamin Etzold, Christine Lang und Andreas Pott.
