Social Inclusion and Exclusion in the Life Stories of Deported Asylum Seekers from Finland to Iraqi Kurdistan

2018

This study explores how social inclusion and exclusion manifest as a dynamic continuum in the everyday lived realities of irregular migrants. Based on narratives of Iraqi Kurdish asylum seekers, who were eventually deported from Finland, the analysis depicts the ways in which societal structures, personal negotiations as well as relationships and social networks interplay in lives characterized by multiple locations, transitions and positions. Establishing and maintaining social contacts, belonging to various networks and being able to decide and act are primary factors that help us understand how the narrators relate to the continuum. The participants construct narratives illustrating seve…

Changes in Family Income around the Time of Birth of Children in Germany between 1985 and 2004

2010

Während der Verlauf und die Ursachen des Geburtenverhaltens intensiv erforscht wurden, sind die finanziellen Folgen einer Geburt empirisch kaum beachtet worden. Daher werden hier kurzfristige Wohlstandsveränderungen von Familien (hinsichtlich verfügbarem Haushaltseinkommen und Äquivalenzeinkommen) rund um die Geburt eines Kindes in längsschnittlicher Perspektive analysiert und auf ihre Ursachen untersucht. Zu diesem Zweck wurden die Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (1984-2005) mittels Fixed-Effekt-Panelregressionsmodellen analysiert. Als Ergebnis kann festgehalten werden, dass die finanziellen Folgen einer Geburt in den letzten Jahren deutlich gewachsen sind und vor allem das erste Kind…

'The Ideological Framework of the French Nouvelle Droite and the Contemporary Finnish Far Right'

2015

This article deals with the xenophobic discourse of contemporary Finnish anti-immigrationists, namely the anti-immigration faction of the Perussuomalaiset party and its 'metapolitical' background organisation - Suomen Sisu. It focuses on two main themes - differentialism and anti-egalitarianism - as they have been conceptualised by the French Nouvelle Droite (ND) and the European New Right. Because these themes have been used to serve a variety of anti-immigration movements and parties within Europe, the article examines whether the selective reception of differentialism and anti-egalitarianism have a part to play in the xenophobic discourse within Finnish politics as well. The Finnish anti…

Associations among immigrants at the crossroads.Transnational action and co-option risks

2016

Resumen En este artículo tratamos de contribuir al debate en torno al papel de las asociaciones de inmigrantes en las sociedades de origen y destino, así como puente entre las mismas. El creciente número y potencial de las asociaciones ha puesto de relieve su contribución al desarrollo y a la dinamización de las sociedades civiles de uno y otro lado. Sin embargo, este proceso no está exento de limitaciones y dinámicas que pueden entrar en contradicción con el papel fundacional de las mismas asociaciones. La interacción con las instituciones de los países de origen de origen y destino, y el acceso a programas y fondos públicos estatales, habría generado un escenario en el que las asociacione…

Nessuno escluso: migrazioni globali e governance dell’integrazione

2019

L'immigrazione è un fenomeno strutturale da decenni e inevitabilmente lo sarà ancora di più in futuro. Negli ultimi anni le società occidentali hanno riscoperto gli effetti sociali e identitari delle migrazioni. I flussi migratori verso l’UE, nell’ultimo decennio, hanno rivelato la debolezza dei tradizionali modelli socio-politici europei di integrazione, proprio quando la retorica politica ruota attorno alle contraddizioni degli strumenti emergenziali dell’accoglienza. Urgono soluzioni globali sui diversi fronti dell'immigrazione irregolare, il trafficking (i suoi ricatti e i suoi morti), i salvataggi, i respingimenti, la gestione dei richiedenti asilo con le sue inefficienze, le forme del…

Mutual intercultural relations among immigrant and autochthonous youth in Italy. Testing the integration, multiculturalism, and contact hypotheses

2020

Italy is increasingly becoming a culturally complex society. This poses numerous challenges for developmental and educational psychology, mainly in terms of how to encourage adequate levels of social harmony by promoting positive development of both immigrant and autochthonous youth. Within this perspective, the current paper presents the Italian findings of the Mutual Intercultural Relations in Plural Societies (MIRIPS) international project, postulating the centrality of three core hypotheses: integration, multiculturalism, and contact. Two studies were performed to investigate these hypotheses. Study 1 comprised 188 Tunisian adolescents aged 13-18 (51% F; Mage=15.94), while Study 2 inclu…

Nuevas perspectivas de análisis para entender la migración cualificada del sur de Europa hacia México

2018

This article focuses on skilled migration flows from Southern Europe into Mexico. From semi-structured interviews with Spanish and Italian immigrants living in four Mexican cities of Mexico, it addresses both reasons for immigration and labour incorporation in Mexican labour markets. Specifically, it explores: i) the role of the economic crisis and the lack of good employment in the countries of origin as a key factor when deciding an international migration; ii) the employment opportunities offered in Mexican labour markets for the highly-skilled immigrants, and iii) the role played by the Mexican state and its current immigration law when channelling this group into the labour market
