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 explainingthe decline of migration systems over time.

Migrationsdruck wird als Konsequenz auf politische Entscheidungen der Einwanderungsländer gewertet, die nicht bereit sind, "offene Grenzen" zu akzeptieren und demzufolge die Einwanderung begrenzen. Migrationsdruck ist die Differenz zwischen Migrationspotential und Migrationsnachfrage (Anzahl derer, die in ein bestimmtes Land hineingelassen werden). Der Autor sieht zwei politische Optionen, um den Migrationsdruck zu reduzieren: das Migrationspotential vermindern und die Migrationsnachfrage erhöhen. Der Autor fordert eine international koordinierte Wanderungspolitik, die sowohl die Ziele der Einwanderungsländer als auch der Herkunftsländer berücksichtigt. (IAB)

"The migrant is often thought of as a non-westerner in search for a better future in Europe or the United States. From a multi-sited ethnography with Swedish migrant women in the US, Singapore and Spain, this book explores the intersections of racial and class privilege and gender vulnerabilities in contemporary feminized migration from or within 'the West'. Through an analysis of 'white migration', Catrin Lundstrom develops theoretical tools to understand the dynamics that shape the women's lives as wealthy housewives, expatriate wives and lifestyle migrants. By shifting the gaze towards privileged migrants, Lundstrom illustrates how race shapes contemporary transnational migration and how white privilege is reproduced through family formation, expatriate geographies or 'international communities' in response to the shifting boundaries of whiteness in different national and regional settings. Looking at how whiteness migrates through a transnational lens the book fills a gap in literature on race and migration, presenting some of the complexities of the current global power relations and the contextual variations that surround these"--Provided by publisher.

This text presents the results of an analysis on the coverage of migration issues by the Russian mass media. The author comes to the conclusion that migration policy is examined by the Russian mass media within the context of domestic political confrontation, and that the political orientation of a publication predetermines its approach to the coverage of migration issues. In the majority of articles, an emotional description of migration issues and the construction of a negative perception of migrants by public opinion are prevalent. Mass media relay stereotypes of the public conscience with its rooted xenophobic moods. In the Russian information space, alarmist moods are dominant, transforming the discussion of migration issues into a discourse of crisis and a discourse of trauma. ; Consortium for Applied Research on International Migration (CARIM-East) is co-financed by the European University Institute and the European Union

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 im

Vor dem Hintergrund des Bevölkerungswachstums in Entwicklungsländern, eines immer krasser werdenden Unterschieds in der ökonomischen Entwicklung und in den Lebensbedingungen zwischen Entwicklungs- und Industrieländern sowie sich zunehmend verschärfenden politischen und sozialen Spannungen thematisiert dieses Schwerpunktheft Entwicklungen und Verläufe der Süd-Nord-Migration. Neben den "push-Faktoren" der Migration werden auch die "pull-Faktoren" untersucht: der Arbeitskräftemangel infolge niedriger Geburtenraten und einer ständig älter werdenden Bevölkerung. Diskutiert wird ebenso der Umstand, daß die Auswanderung jetzt sogar in Länder erfolgt, die früher keineswegs als Beschäftigungsländer galten. Es wird deutlich, daß Entwicklungsländer dringend ein Wirtschaftswachstum benötigen, das Arbeitsplätze schafft. Ebenso notwendig sind freie Zugäge zu den Märkten der Industriestaaten und eine effiziente Entwicklungshilfepolitik. (IAB)
