The case studies in this volume illustrate the global dimension of flight and migration movements with a special focus on South-South migration. Thirteen chapters shed light on transcontinental or regional migration processes, as well as on long-term processes of arrival and questions of belonging. Flight and migration are social phenomena. They are embedded in individual, familial and collective histories on the level of nation states, regions, cities or we-groups. They are also closely tied up with changing border regimes and migration policies. The explanatory power of case studies stems from analyzing these complex interrelations. Case studies allow us to look at both "common" and "rare" migration phenomena, and to make systematic comparisons. On the basis of in-depth fieldwork, the authors in this volume challenge dichotomous distinctions between flight and migration, look at changing perspectives during processes of migration, consider those who stay, and counter political and media discourses which assume that Europe, or the Global North in general, is the pivot of international migration.
In the conditions of globalization, the intensification of relations between different States is taking place; the formation of a common market of capital, technologies and goods is formed. In this merged market there is a segment of the labor market, in which intellectual migration plays an extremely important role. At the present phase, migration processes attract more and more attention of scientists in all leading countries of the world. A special place takes intellectual migration. Human bieng, the human factor, especially their intellect, the educational potential has become a real capital. And migration itself forms the bulk of this capital. Migration is becoming more and more differentiated in terms of educational, qualification and professional characteristics, constantly involving new categories and groups of people in the staffing exchange. From ancient times, intellectual migration has been characterized by the constant movement of scientific staff between universities, which, obviously, determined the growth of prestige and the scientific, educational level of a university. Even in the history of Ukraine we can mention Yury Drohobych (Kotermak), professor and rector of the University of Bologna, professor of the Jagiellonian University, Mykhailo Drahomanov, professor at the Higher School in Sofia (now - Sofia University), etc. The present dictates similar needs in intelligence, which is addressed by promising scientists in the search for self-realization. Disproportionately smaller is the "flow" of scientific personnel to Ukraine. But such examples also take place. James Mace, a well-known historian, political scientist, researcher of the Holodomor, moved to Ukraine for scientific research and linked his scientific and livelihood with our country. In Ukraine, such migration processes are characterized by dynamism, diversity and a set of causes, not only of internal scientific, but also socio-economic nature. Over the past decades, part of the scientists who were unable to adapt to the new socio-economic conditions of post-Soviet Ukraine and could not "stay in science" by migrating to other areas of human activity, for example, in business or migrating to other countries. This, in turn, led to an imbalance in the scientific and educational spheres, and created new challenges and threats to the national educational and scientific sector, which affected the level of technical and technological development of Ukraine. The main goals of this paper is to determine the specifics of migration processes in the intellectual sphere, to identify their causes and social mechanisms, to analyze general and special factors of intellectual migration, to identify trends in intellectual migration and to create the appropriate conditions for the development of intellectual potential of Ukraine. Modern international intellectual migration is made up of two parts: highly qualified specialists who migrate from one developed country to another (mainly within Europe) and from specialists from Asia, Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe. Developing countries (this group can be safely attributed to Ukraine), as a result of the "outflow of intelligence" are experiencing great complications due to the lack of high-skilled and secondary education. That is why the "outflow of intelligence" is seen as the migration of highly skilled and talented specialists from poor and / or isolated countries to industrial centers. This process is permanent, and is steadily gaining momentum, increasing the flows of highly skilled migrants to the European Union States, and especially the United States of America.

In meinem Beitrag geht es mir darum, das Verhältnis von lokal / global in eine konkret erforschbare Dimension rücken. Dafür greife ich die Konzept-Metapher der Landschaft – landscape – auf, die APPADURAI (1998 [1991]) in seiner radikalen Argumentation einer entterritorialisierten Welt formuliert hat und verknüpfe diese theoretische Perspektive mit dem methodologischen Entwurf einer "multi-sited ethnography", wie ihn George MARCUS (1998) in seiner Aufsatzsammlung Ethnography through Thick and Thin vorschlägt. In ethnographischen Vignetten aus meiner Forschung zur philippinischen Heiratsmigration in transnationaler Perspektive ("Ein guter Mann ist harte Arbeit!", LAUSER 2004a) schaue ich anschließend konkret auf einige kulturelle Dynamiken und Verflechtungen von globalen, lokalen und persönlichen Angelegenheiten in einer enträumlichten Welt. Die Frage der Lokalisierungen wird mit einem starken Plädoyer für die ethnographische Forschungspraxis verbunden, die mehr denn je den Verortungen des Sprechens, Schreibens und Forschens sorgfältige Aufmerksamkeit zu widmen hat.

Derzeit haben Deutschland und Marokko den gemeinsamen Vorsitz beim Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) inne. Das diesjährige Treffen findet im Juni 2017 in Berlin statt. Das Forum ist wichtiger denn je: Flucht und Migration nehmen zu, die Wanderungsformen vermischen sich, und die Regierungen können die damit verbundenen Herausforderungen immer weniger im Alleingang bewältigen. Gleichzeitig ist die internationale Zusammenarbeit in der Migrationspolitik schwach, fragmentiert und wenig wirksam. Zu ihrer Stärkung kann die Berliner Konferenz einen Beitrag leisten. Das Treffen bietet der Bundesregierung zudem einen Ansatzpunkt, um die eigene Rolle bei der Gestaltung der internationalen migrationspolitischen Kooperation auszuweiten. (Autorenreferat)
Auf der Basis einer Sekundärauswertung qualitativer Studien zu stadtregionalen Wanderungsprozessen in der Metropolregion Hamburg seit 1998 fokussiert dieser Beitrag Motive, Prozesse und Rahmenbedingungen städtischen Wohnens. Sie manifestieren sich in vergleichenden Bewertungen städtischen und suburbanen Wohnens sowie in Hintergründen der Präferenzen für urbane Wohnstandorte. Diese Informationen ergänzen das Spektrum möglicher Erklärungen für Reurbanisierung um Aspekte des sozialen Handelns von Wohnenden.
"Deutschland hat sich in den vergangenen Jahren gegenüber der Zuwanderung ausländischer Fachkräfte trotz Widerständen langsam geöffnet. Einen wichtigen Anteil an dieser Entwicklung hatten die Politik der Europäischen Union auf dem Gebiet der Arbeitsmigration wie auch der zunehmende Wettbewerb um Fachkräfte auf globaler Ebene und das Eingeständnis, dass Deutschland auf ausländische Arbeitskräfte angewiesen ist. Dieser Beitrag plädiert auf der Grundlage einer eingehenden Beschreibung politischer Entwicklungen und Widerstände für die Schaffung eines tatsächlichen Zuwanderungskonzeptes auf der Basis von klaren Zuzugsregelungen, der Gewährung von dauerhaften Bleibemöglichkeiten für Migrant(inn)en mit deutscher Schul- oder beruflicher Ausbildung, der zügigen Anerkennung ausländischer Qualifikationen und Bildungsabschlüsse sowie engagierter Schritte hin zu einer gesamtgesellschaftlich praktizierten Willkommenskultur."

Purpose: highlighting the financial regulation of migration processes in Ukraine in context of European integration on the basis of analyzing their current state and trends according to the new Strategy of the State Migration Policy. Methodology: system structural approach, methods of observation and generalization, method of logical analysis, method of graphical analysis, method of comparison, method of abstraction, method of analogies. Results: on the basis of Ukraine-EU migration processes analysis and their regulation in European integration framework, the priorities of migration processes financial regulation are proposed corresponding the most urgent challenges for Ukraine in the sphere of international migration. Practical implications: further research of the problems of foreign economic activity financial regulation, particularly at the level of international economic relations in context of globalization and Ukraine's European integration; education process including preparation of the relevant sections of textbooks and manuals for the courses «Finance», «International Economics». Conclusions: the EU today is the most attractive region for Ukrainian migrants. In context of Ukraine's European integration in 2014-2017 there is a strong trend for migration flows towards emigration, mostly labour one. Ukrainian labor migration by its size and profile does not correspond to the national interests, as economically active population lives Ukraine for the EU. A threatening trend is the gradual transformation of labor migration into a permanent one. This requires developing an adequate system of measures for the regulation of migration processes within the framework of migration policy with its priority towards depopulation reducing. The financial regulation measures proposed, including liquidation of financial system imbalance in the country, attraction of direct investments into the economy, formation of investment resources in the social sphere, tax system reforming, inflation regulation, the financing of ...
