[spa] Durante la primera década del siglo XXI, España fue un destino prioritario de las migraciones internacionales. Los distintos gobiernos gestionaron este fenómeno mediante la puesta en marcha de un conjunto de medidas de control, sustancialmente orientadas a erigir fronteras exteriores e interiores. No obstante, la extensión de la crisis económica ha conducido a reajustar el sistema de control migratorio en su conjunto. Este texto pretende analizar las racionalidades que subyacen a la actual transformación de las políticas en este campo. A estos efectos, estudia las implicaciones del giro gerencial en el dispositivo de deportación, y concluye delineando un conjunto de reformas normativas sustentadas en un paradigma de derechos humanos. ; [eng] Over the first decade of the current century Spain was a primary destination of international migrations. Spanish governments managed this phenomenon by implementing a number of control measures, largely aimed at walling external and internal borders. However, the persistence of the economic crisis has led to the readjustment of the whole system of migration control. This article intends to grasp the underlying rationales of the current transformation of the Spanish policies of bordered penality. It scrutinizes the implications of the managerial turn of the Spanish apparatus of deportation and concludes by outlining a range of legal reforms grounded on a human rights perspective.

"In this overarching portrait of three decades of U.S. immigration reform, the author focuses on the roles, on the one hand, of presidents from Reagan to Obama, and on the other, of Catholic immigration advocates, shedding light on the relationship between debates over immigration policy and broader domestic politics"--Provided by publisher

The awakening of several Arab countries on the southern and eastern rims of the Mediterranean in the winter 2010-2011 raised concerns, particularly in European countries, about the migration flows it could engender. It was considered that political instability and the ensuing economic slowdown would be at the origin of large migration flows. A senior political figure in the European Union (EU) warned of migration flows of "Biblical dimensions". The fact is that, despite some initial movements of contained magnitude in the spring 2011, the large flows did not materialize. In the largest country on the southern rim, Egypt, repeated surveys among young Egyptians indicated the desire to migrate did not increase in the two years of political changes that followed the breakout of the Arab Awakening. ; peer-reviewed

"This book explores who climate refugees are and how environmental justice might be used to overcome legal obstacles preventing them from being recognized at an international level. Francesca Rosignoli begins by exploring the conceptual and complex issues that surround the very existence of climate refugees and investigates the magnitude of the phenomenon in its current and future estimates. Reframing the debate using an environment justice perspective, she examines who has the responsibility of assisting climate refugees (state vs non-state actors), the various legal solutions available and the political scenarios that should be advanced in order to govern this issue in the long term. Overall, Environmental Justice for Climate Refugees presents a critical interrogation of how this specific strand of forced migration is currently categorized by existing legal, ethical and political definitions, and highlights the importance of applying a justice perspective to this issue. Exploring the phenomenon of climate refugees through a multi-disciplinary lens, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental migration and displacement, environmental politics and governance, and refugee studies"--

It has become common to divide the south-north migratory movements across the Mediterranean in recent years into three main routes. These being, the Western Mediterranean route, which leads from West African countries to Morocco, and from there to either mainland Spain or the Canary Islands. The Central Mediterranean route, which passes through Libya to either Italy or Malta, and which has been used by migrants from both West and East Africa. Finally, the Eastern Mediterranean route, which (in recent years) has led through Turkey and the Greek islands, and which has been used mainly by refugees fleeing from the civil war in Syria, but also by migrants hailing from other countries such as Afghanistan or Iraq. Even though all three routes have existed for the last two to three decades, their (relative) importance has varied considerably over time, depending —apart from the 'pull factor' exercised by the EU— on conditions in the countries of origin and transit, as well as migration control efforts in the countries of destination (and transit). The aim of this article is to explore the evolution of the Central Mediterranean route, where —after Italy— Malta has been the main entry point into the EU. ; peer-reviewed

Every summer for almost forty years, tens of thousands of Moroccan emigrants from as far away as Norway and Germany have descended on the duty-free smugglers' cove/migrant frontier boomtown of Nador, Morocco. David McMurray investigates the local effects of the multiple linkages between Nador and international commodity circuits, and analyzes the profound effect on everyday life of the free flow of bodies, ideas, and commodities into and out of the region

Evangelical Christians in the United States today are known for their hard-line, restrictive approach to immigration and refugees insofar that means welcoming immigrants and refugees into the country. This book shows that this has not always been the case and is, in fact, a relatively new position. The history of evangelical involvement with refugees and immigrants has been overlooked in the current debate. Since the early 1960s, evangelical Christians have been integral players in US immigration and refugee policy. Motivated by Biblical teachings to 'welcome the stranger,' they have helped tens of thousands of newcomers by acting as refugee sponsors or providing legalization assistance to undocumented immigrants. Until the 1990s, many evangelicals did not distinguish between documented and undocumented newcomers - all were to be loved and welcomed.
