Weltweit waren Ende 2018 knapp 71 Millionen Menschen auf der Flucht. Die Problematik der Fluchtbewegungen trifft neben den Nachbarländern auch in erheblichem Ausmaß Länder weitab der Hauptkonfliktherde der Welt – wie Deutschland und die USA. Tagesaktuell drängen Fragestellungen wie nach Grund und Grenzen der Aufnahme von Flüchtlingen, Differenzierung nach dem Motiv der Flucht, Maßnahmen zur Bekämpfung von Fluchtursachen, Auswirkungen der Aufnahme von Flüchtlingen im schutzgewährenden Staat. Tiefer noch reicht die Frage nach dem Stellenwert des Prinzips der Solidarität in diesem Kontext: Welchen Stellenwert gewinnt es angesichts der Herausforderungen der weltweiten Migration? Lassen sich konkrete Handlungsmaximen daraus ableiten? Welche Reichweite kommt dem Prinzip im Zeitalter der Globalisierung zu, wie verhalten sich gegebenenfalls konkurrierende Solidaritätsanforderungen zueinander? Der Band widmet sich in interdisziplinärem Zugriff dieser grundsätzlichen wie aktuellen Problematik. / »Migration and Solidarity« -- The current worldwide refugee crisis has raised serious sociopolitical questions and led to a deeper reflection on the principle of solidarity as a central principle of Catholic social doctrine. This volume, which contains the contributions of the 15th German-American Colloquium of July 2018, explores the problem in an interdisciplinary way with the participation of renowned experts from both countries.

In migration and refugee studies, migrant deaths have frequently been closely linked to contemporary forms of border and migration governance. Migrant deaths at sea have also played a central role in shaping policy and public responses to Europe's "crisis." Yet relatively little scholarly work has analyzed migrants' personal experiences related to death and the impact of these experiences on their mobility. Drawing on 500 semi-structured interviews with people who crossed the Mediterranean Sea by boat in 2015–2016 and over 100 interviews with key stakeholders in the region, this article documents geographies of violence and death stretching throughout migration trajectories that start far from the Mediterranean shores. It shines light on the different ways that encountering the deaths of others and perceiving the inevitability of one's own death drive and shape migration decisions and journeys. The article also highlights differences between European policy responses to migrant deaths and the experiences of those migrants making the journey. In doing so, it calls for a more expansive understanding of the relationship between migrant deaths, policies, and migration that extends beyond the relatively small parcel of water that divides Europe from its southern and eastern neighbors.

An abundant body of research focused on macrolevel, mesolevel, and microlevel factors explaining why individuals move across international borders. In this paper, we aim to complement the existing literature by exploring how, within a single country, mesolevel factors differently impact migration aspirations, focusing on a case study of Ukraine. We particularly focus on how migration aspirations of individuals in two different regions can be explained by their international social networks with family members, on the one hand, and with friends, on the other. Furthermore, we explore whether regional migration characteristics play a role, as well as the interaction of such characteristics with individuals' frequency of contact with transnational networks. Our analyses are based on the EUMAGINE project and suggest that the interplay between regional migration characteristics and transnational social contact are key for explaining the decline of migration systems over time.

This is the editorial presentation of the international rewiev "Socioscapes. International Journal of Societies, Politics and Cultures", the main call is entirely dedicated to the theme of migration and migration studies in the neoliberal era. The editorial proposes a reflection on the theme of global migration and their relations with the capitalist economy, as well as presenting the magazine and its structure.

Dieser Band beschäftigt sich mit den vielfältigen Bezügen zwischen Migration, Bildung und Medien. Es werden Theorieansätze zur Erklärung internationaler Migration mit Theorien der Integration, Akkulturation bzw. Assimilation von MigrantInnen mit Theorien zur transnationalen Migration sowie unterschiedlichen Forschungs- und didaktischen Anwendungsfeldern zur Migrations- und Diversitätspädagogik verknüpft. Darüber hinaus liegt der Fokus auf der Rolle von Medien in Migrationsprozessen sowie dem Zusammenspiel von Medien und Migration. Hierbei geht es u.a. um die Frage der Darstellung von Migration, MigrantInnen und Diversität in den Medien. Auf diese Weise werden empirische und theoretische Ansätze zu Migration und Medien mit medienpädagogischen und mediendidaktischen sowie migrations- und diversitätspädagogischen Ansätzen und Anwendungsfeldern verknüpft. Mit Beiträgen von: Nancy Andrianne, Wolfgang Aschauer, Georg Auernheimer, Lea Braun, Jonas Christensen, Ricarda Drüeke, Elisabeth Klaus, Anita Moser, Sule Dursun, Helga Embacher, Sylvia Hahn, Birgit Heinrich, Gerhard Hetfleisch, Marc Hill, Mishela Ivanova, Haliemah Mocevic, Alois Nußbaumer, Manfred Oberlechner, Robert Obermair, Michael Offenboeck, Brigitta Pallauf, Lisa Rosen, Argyro Panagiotopoulou, Maximilian Sailer, Wassilios Baros, Brunhilde Scheuringer, Christine Trueltzsch-Wijnen, Elisabeth Vierthaler

"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."--Publisher's description

__Abstract__ The 2008 World Migration Report from the International Organization for Migration is an enormous document that reflects efforts led by business sectors and some sections of governments in rich countries to move away from policy agendas overwhelmingly focused on restriction of international migration, towards a somewhat more open global economic order, and to build acceptance of substantial in-migration to match market demand. This paper illustrates use of methods of discourse analysis to identify the principles of selection, interpretation, prioritisation and argumentation that structure such a report. It gives particular attention to the Report's choices and use of key terms, like 'mobility', 'needs' and 'globalization', and of key metaphors which guide the discussion, notably the metaphor of 'flows'. Dominated by the mental models of neoclassical and neoliberal economics and the policy preoccupations of rich countries, the Report's central claim is the "need" for international cooperation to match labour demand and supply within a global framework, as a concomitant of economic globalisation in other respects; and that this will support economic development worldwide. A human rights stance makes occasional appearances, represented by the term 'human mobility' rather than 'labour mobility' or 'mobility for economic purposes', but remains firmly subordinated. Migrants' opinions and agency receive little attention; economic priorities based on market power dominate.
