International regimes govern how officials address specific issue areas in global politics. There is a deep and unresolved debate as to whether we can speak of an international migration regime. This article seeks to develop the theoretical language to resolve this debate. We introduce the concept of a 'distributive regime': a structure that coordinates movement and settlement control practices in ways that engender ideal distributions of populations across space. The paper demonstrates the discriminatory power of this concept by using it to shed light on analogous forms of movement and settlement control in the study of slavery and incarceration. We then suggest that we could resolve the extant debate about the status of the international migration regime by further exploring the hypothesis that contemporary migration control practices are coordinated in ways that achieve a distributive effect.

En la sociedad contemporánea las migraciones se han intensificado debido al proceso de globalización por el cual las economías se vuelven interdependientes y se tejen redes de trabajo transnacionales, que facilitan la inserción laboral de personas cualificadas, aunado a la popularización de las TIC, las cuales se han vuelto omnipresentes, refuerzan procesos de hibridación cultural y permiten «acercar distancias». Sin embargo, la presencia del extranjero se sigue encuadrando como una amenaza en los discursos de políticos influyentes y en los medios masivos de comunicación, quienes desconocen los efectos positivos que las migraciones pueden aportar, desde el punto de vista económico, cultural, educativo y en la promoción del desarrollo humano. En el presente artículo se realiza una revisión crítica de la literatura sobre la correlación entre migraciones internacionales y desarrollo humano, la cual se puede enfocar desde dos puntos de vista: el codesarrollo, que involucra a los migrantes como promotores del desarrollo, o desde la teoría de la dependencia, que afirma que las migraciones refuerzan el círculo vicioso de la pobreza de sus territorios de origen. Se destaca que los países receptores tienen políticas para seleccionar migrantes con estudios superiores y con recursos financieros, mientras que son reacios a recibir migrantes laborales poco cualificados, atraídos por mejores salarios, así como también se obstruye la entrada a personas que solicitan refugio, ante la necesidad de protección de sus Derechos Humanos.//Migrations have intensified in contemporary society, due to the process of globalization, which deepens the interdependence of economies and strengthens transnational networks, which facilitate the labor insertion of qualified people. The popularization of ICT also reinforces the processes of cultural hybridization and shortens distances. However, the speeches of influential politicians and the mass media frame the presence of foreigners as a threat, while these speeches hide the positive effects of migrations, both to the host country and to the birth country. The purpose of this document is to review the relationship between international migration and human development, from two points of view: co-development, which involves migrants as promoters of development, and dependency theory, which affirms that migrations reinforce poverty in their territories of origin. In some host countries, there are policies to select migrants with higher education and financial resources, while is closed the entry of low-skilled migrants, attracted by higher wages, as well as the entry of people seeking asylum.

In a society characterized by the intermingling or many and a different cultures, two options are open to the policy-makers: multiculturalism, for which every culture is, to say, like an island segregated from the others cultures and commanding an exclusive identification on the part of its members; and interculturalism, which allows for more flexible and dynamic relations between cultures, each of them been so thought as an integral part of a wider and inclusive setting of common beliefs and values. In the framework of the intercultural politics the problem arises of the ways in which an effective network of relationships between cultures may be built in order to promote their integration, i.e. the problem of intercultural mediation. The essay deals with the role that the key figure (that of the intercultural mediator) should play in this process. He should possess a high degree of education and professionalism in order to operate according to effective universalistic standards and promote the integration of immigrants. This implies that his recruitment must be completely independent of any origin or ethno-cultural affiliation. To date, at the national level the figure of the mediator has not been regulated and the whole sector is mostly managed by social cooperatives, cultural associations or immigrants' associations that offer their services to the institutions with positive effects, but also with inevitable negative implications. ; In una società caratterizzata dalla molteplicità/compresenza di molte e diverse culture, al policy-maker si aprono due opzioni: il multiculturalismo, per il quale ogni cultura è, per così dire, un'isola separata dalle altre e alla quale va l'identificazione esclusiva dei suoi membri; e l'interculturalismo, che consente rapporti più flessibili e dinamici tra le culture, ognuna delle quali è pensata come parte di un unico e più inclusivo ambiente di credenze e di valori comuni. All'interno della politiche interculturali si pone il problema dei modi in cui costruire una effettiva rete di rapporti fra le culture al fine di promuoverne l'integrazione, ossia il problema della mediazione interculturale. Il saggio si occupa del ruolo che dovrebbe svolgere la figura chiave in questo processo, quella del mediatore interculturale. Questo dovrebbe possedere un elevato grado di istruzione e di professionalità al fine di poter operare secondo efficaci standard universalistici e favorire l'integrazione degli immigrati. Ciò comporta che il suo reclutamento prescinda del tutto da ogni provenienza o appartenenza etno-culturale. A tutt'oggi, a livello nazionale, la figura del mediatore non è stata normata e l'intero settore è gestito per lo più da cooperative sociali, da associazioni culturali o di immigrati che offrono i loro servizi alle istituzioni con effetti positivi, ma anche con inevitabili distorsioni.

Racial Passages: Central American Migrants and the Condition of Non-Belonging examines the link between U.S. hemispheric dominance and Mexican settler-colonial power. Through an examination of the lives and experiences of Central American migrants, I demonstrate that the exploitation and policing of Central American subjects by Mexican state agents reinforces and furthers the U.S.'s imperial, political, and economic reach Mexico's southern border, simultaneously facilitating the Mexican nation-state's enforcement of its own physical and discursive borders. The collusion between the U.S. and Mexican governments in their respective and shared wars on drugs and terror results in dire consequences for displaced Central Americans. Rooted within the intellectual genealogies of decolonial epistemologies and anti-imperial social movements focused on the relation between US imperialism and Mexican, as well as Central American, colonial nation-building practices, Racial Passages maps the discursive and physical violence on Central American populations, highlighting historical continuities of colonial systems that produce hyper-vulnerable Central American subjects outside of space and time.

Dans quelle mesure peut-on considérer que les personnes sans-papiers sont insérées au regard de leur absence de droit au séjour et de la signification de l'intégration dans les politiques publiques ? L'hypothèse de cette analyse est qu'il y aurait une divergence entre l'insertion concrète, quotidienne et localisée, fruit de la participation sociale et la création de liens, et l'intégration telle qu'on l'imagine au niveau du droit, conditionnée à l'obtention d'un titre de séjour et qui permet de devenir résident de la société française de façon abstraite.

Ursula Zender untersucht, weshalb türkisch-muslimische Migrantinnen im organisierten Sport in Deutschland so stark unterrepräsentiert sind.

This chapter presents an overview of religiosity and attitudes to religious diversity in media and other public spaces based on a cross-Scandinavian survey conducted in 2015. Although Scandinavians in general have a weak personal connection to religion, Christianity still holds a privileged position as an expression of cultural identity. Scandinavians express support for equal rights to practice religion, but also doubtfulness towards public expressions of religion. More than one-fourth of respondents discuss news about religion and religious extremism regularly. There is a widespread sentiment that Islam is a threat to the national culture, even though most respondents state that they oppose an open expression of hostile attitudes towards foreigners. Political orientation and gender are salient aspects that shape diverging opinions regarding tolerance or scepticism towards the public visibility of religious diversity. Furthermore, Danes and Norwegians are more critical of public expressions of Islam than Swedes. ; This chapter presents an overview of religiosity and attitudes to religious diversity in media and other public spaces based on a cross-Scandinavian survey conducted in 2015.
