From impact refugees to deterritorialized states: Foresighting extreme legal-policy cases in asteroid impact scenarios
2022
Throughout recorded history, humans have crossed national borders to seek safety in nearby countries. The reasons for displacement have been generated by phenomena of terrestrial origin, but exposure to unexpected extra-terrestrial threats poses a different scenario. An asteroid impact warning implies a change of paradigm which would represent a historic precedent. In this regard, the analogies with natural disasters must be considered, along with multiple possible scenarios, and legal aspects related to (a) the legal framework to regulate this situation; (b) the action and responsibility of the states; and (c) the definition of impact refugee and the reconfiguration of traditional concepts…
Re-Emerging Vaccine-Preventable Diseases in War-Affected Peoples of the Eastern Mediterranean Region—An Update
2017
For the past few decades, the Eastern Mediterranean Region has been one area of the world profoundly shaped by war and political instability. On-going conflict and destruction have left the region struggling with innumerable health concerns that have claimed the lives of many. Wars, and the chaos they leave behind, often provide the optimal conditions for the growth and re-emergence of communicable diseases. In this article, we will highlight three of the major re-emerging vaccine preventable diseases cholera, measles, and polio, in four countries of the Eastern Mediterranean Region that are currently affected by war leading to a migration crisis: Iraq, South Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. The re…

Landscape in transition in the shadow of 2022 Russia’s invasion in Ukraine – notes from Hungary
2022
This research note focuses on two phenomena: the transformations in the landscape in Hungary as an effect of Russia’s invasion in Ukraine and the welcome/help centers that were established to channel mobility and provide a temporary safe space. I suggest that liminality (which serves as a main explanatory category) is characteristic of both. It is stated that in this context that the bodies of refugees are reminders of the existence of the (state) border, which gets reaffirmed by the process of welcoming and hosting and is also reflected in the visual reminders in the landscape. I also divide the management of the refugee crisis into three phases: spontaneous action, institutionalization, a…
Inclusion of immigrant children
2018
The Middle East and sub‐Saharan African countries have been suffering by wars during last few years and therefore Europe meets new challenges that are caused by new waves of refugees, which are crossing the boarders of Europe every day. Majority of migrants is consisting of young or more than young people, forced to abandon their own homes, their own cities, their own schools. Although this could look like talking about individual dramas, abandoning schools and depriving a whole generation of education means, really, prejudicing the future of the whole society and prejudicing the future of the countries of origin, which would be deprived of potential future productive and managerial classes…

The policy and politics of migrants and health: European view
2018
O que sabemos hoje, quais as lacunas na compreensão do problema e quais as perspetivas futuras? Nas últimas décadas, os países Europeus têm-se confrontado com um aumento dos fluxos migratórios, tornando a migração um fenómeno comum e em sociedades cada vez mais diversificadas. No contexto do processo migratório, as populações migrantes e refugiadas confrontam-se, no país de acolhimento, com um novo contexto social, cultural e linguístico. Por outro lado, a atual complexidade deste processo decorre, também, de uma população migrante heterogénea, com diferentes características e necessidades em saúde. A migração coloca importantes desafios para a saúde, relativamente aos determinantes sociais…
Migration Discourse and the New Socially Constructed Meanings of the English Lingua Franca
2022
After the 1990s, the mass arrival of immigrants in Europe transformed the phenomenon of migration from a benefit into a problem and opened the debate to issues of first aid, security, expulsion and rejection. Even today, migrants are no longer seen as a socio-economic resource to be protected and regulated, but as a potential social problem affecting areas such as the economy, health and national security. The paper deals with the linguistically relevant literature about migration discourse (MD) and the role of English as lingua franca in public discourse related to the migration phenomenon. The latter part examines some traditional English key terms used to represent migrants since their m…
MIGRATIONS: A GLOBAL WELFARE CHALLENGE. POLICIES, PRACTICES AND CONTEMPORARY VULNERABILITIES
2018
The construction of immigrants and immigration/refugees and asylum seekers is something that fit onto some specific stereotypes that facilitates a conservative discourse against this natural human mobility right. This book intends to offer more thinking tools to understand the nature of human mobility and why states needs to rethink about their conservative rights targeting it. Solidarities within European boundaries and with the rest of the world form a key aspect of democratic societies. Therefore these solidarities must be investigated in relation to the main issues of migrants, but also to all rights that the States could recognized to migrants as persons and legal subject.
