Es ist bis heute kaum ins Bewusstsein der Öffentlichkeit gelangt, dass mehr als eine halbe Millionen Menschen in den 1950er und 1960erJahre vom Westen in den Osten des geteilten Deutschland abwanderten. Die West-Ost-Migration setzte sich zu zwei Dritteln aus Rückkehrern und zu einem Drittel aus erstmals zuwandernden Bundesbürgern zusammen. Die historisch-systematische Studie zeigt das ambivalente politische Handeln von Politik und Verwaltung der DDR gegenüber der West-Ost-Migration auf.

Gespaltene Migration

2003 | 127 Pages | ISBN: 3810038784 | PDF | 4 MB
Die politische Auseinandersetzung um Zuwanderung ist von einer klaren Spaltung in erwünschte und unerwünschte MigrantInnen geprägt, indem unverhohlen ökonomische Kriterien für die Aufnahme von MigrantInnen festgeschrieben werden. Am anderen Ende geht die inhumane Auseinandersetzung mit "unerwünschter" Migration weiter, indem im Dunkelfeld zwischen Asylbewerberheimen und Abschiebehaft sogenannte "Ausreisezentren" geschaffen werden sollen, die bei mangelnden rechtlichen Voraussetzungen für eine Abschiebung mittels sozialem und psychischem Druck eine "freiwillige Ausreise" erzwingen sollen. Eine Thematisierung der systematischen sozialen und rechtlichen Ausgrenzung von MigrantInnen fehlt ebenso wie eine intensive Diskussion in der Pädagogik und Sozialen Arbeit, welchen Beitrag sie zur sozialen Mindestsicherung für nicht-europäische MigrantInnen leisten können und wie sich das Profil der interkulturellen Pädagogik in diesem Rahmen verändert. Diese Lücken versucht das Buch schließen.

Free Download Impact of the Environment on Human Migration in Eurasia By K. V. Chugunov, H. Parzinger, A. Nagler (auth.), E. Marian Scott, Andrey Yu. Alekseev, Ganna Zaitseva (eds.)

This book is a collection of the articles presented at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW 979859) held in St. Petersburg, from the 15-18 November 2003 in the Hermitage Museum. The title of the workshop was "The impact of the environment on Human Migration in Eurasia". More than 40 scientists from Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Poland, Germany, Switzerland, The Netherlands, United Kingdom, Belgium, Finland, Lithuania and Latvia took part. The themes of the workshop focused on the origin, development, interactions, and migrations of prehistoric and ancient populations, specifically the Scythians, in Eurasia and their relationships with the environment of the time. The discussion of these questions necessitated the participation of specialists from a wide range of academic fields. Beyond any doubt, the environment played an important role in the life of ancient nomadic populations, forming the basis of their economies and influencing various aspects of their mode of life. In this respect, the collaboration of specialists in the Humanities and Science is essential for the solution of scientific questions concerning these peoples. Over the past few years, a large amount of new proxy data related to environmental changes during the Pleistocene and the Holocene and their impact on human life has become available. Our discussion was predominantly limited to environmental changes related to the Holocene. In st this period of about 10000 years, the main focus was on the 1 millennium BC.

Suffer the Little Children Child Migration and the Geopolitics of Compassion in the United States


Free Download Anita Casavantes Bradford, "Suffer the Little Children: Child Migration and the Geopolitics of Compassion in the United States"
English | 2022 | ISBN: 1469667630 | PDF | pages: 303 | 3.8 mb
In this affecting and innovative global history-starting with the European children who fled the perils of World War II and ending with the Central American children who arrive every day at the U.S. southern border-Anita Casavantes Bradford traces the evolution of American policy toward unaccompanied children. At first a series of ad hoc Cold War-era initiatives, such policy grew into a more broadly conceived set of programs that claim universal humanitarian goals. But the cold reality is that decisions about which endangered minors are allowed entry to the United States have always been and continue to be driven primarily by a "geopolitics of compassion" that imagines these children essentially as tools of political statecraft.

Migration and Transformation Multi-Level Analysis of Migrant Transnationalism


Free Download Migration and Transformation:: Multi-Level Analysis of Migrant Transnationalism By Pirkko Pitkänen (auth.), Pirkko Pitkänen, Ahmet Içduygu, Deniz Sert (eds.)
2012 | 236 Pages | ISBN: 9400739672 | PDF | 3 MB
People’s transnational ties and activities are acquiring ever greater importance and topicality in today’s world. The focus of this book lies in the complex and multi-level processes of migrant transnationalism in four transnational spaces: India-UK, Morocco-France and Turkey-Germany and Estonia-Finland. The main question is, how people’s activities across national borders emerge, function, and change, and how are they related to the processes of governance in increasingly complex and interconnected world?The book is based on the findings of a three-year research project TRANS-NET which brough together internationally acknowledged experts from Europe, Asia and Africa. As no single discipline could investigate all the components of the topic in question, the project adopted a multi-disciplinary approach: among the contributors, there are sociologists, policy analysts, political scientists, social and cultural anthropologists, educational scientists, and economists.The chapters show that people’s transnational linkages and migration across national boundaries entail manifold political, economic, social, cultural and educational implications. Although political-social-economic-educational transformations fostered by migrant transnationalism constitute the main topic of the book, the starting assumption is that the large-scale institutional and actor-centred patterns of transformation come about through a constellation of parallel processes.
