Norms matter! The role of international norms in EU policies on asylum and immigration
2014
Abstract This Article investigates how international norms impact on eu asylum and immigration policy. To this end we scrutinize the assumption that the robustness of international norms indicates the quality of eu integration. Drawing on international norms literature we argue that four characters define an international norms’ robustness: specificity in definition, binding force, coherence with domestic law and international law, and concordant understanding among actors. Our analysis covers three eu policy areas, asylum policy, family reunification policy, and labour migration policy. Across the three areas international norms had varying degrees of robustness at the time of eu negotiat…
The Long Route Towards a Widespread European Culture of Alternatives to Immigration Detention
2016
The aim of this article is to provide an analysis of the application by some European Union countries of alternative measures to detention of migrants. Sections 2 and 3 indicate, in line with European normatives and with detention being a measure of last resort, that Member States having ascertained that there are grounds for the detention of migrants, should evaluate whether the aims pursued can be achieved through a less coercive measure which respects the fundamental rights of individuals. Unfortunately, as examined in Section 4, analysis of most European countries’ law reveals an unsatisfactory application of alternative measures to detention. As in, for example, Italy’s case, whose leg…
HUMAN SMUGGLING AND IRREGULAR IMMIGRATION IN THE EU: FROM COMPLICITY TO EXPLOITATION?
2016
The paper provides a comparative analysis of the EU and the UN to the fight against smuggling. The two approaches are considerably different; and, since the one in the UN documents is more respectful of the smuggled migrants' rights, the paper suggests that a similar approach should also be embraced by the EU documents.
The influence of external uniaxial stretching on the electromigration and diffusion of hydrogen in iron
2009
Electromigration and diffusion of hydrogen in iron, depending on unit elongation, were investigated. The resistivity method was applied in the investigations. It was found that the obtained experimental results cannot be described by means of a single flux of hydrogen, which diffuses in the electric field. In order to explain the obtained results, we assumed the existence of the following two fluxes of hydrogen in the stretched metal: migration, according to the interstitial mechanism, and migration according to the interstitial-defective mechanism. The dependence of effective valences and diffusion coefficients for both mechanisms were determined.

Is There a Paradox of Adaptation in Immigrant Children and Youth across Europe?: A Literature Review
2018
This review examines how well children of immigrants in Europe are doing in terms of educational, psychological, and behavioral outcomes. Based on theory and research in developmental, social and acculturation psychology fields, we explore the immigrant paradox (e.g., first-generation immigrant children show better adaptation in comparison to their native and second-generation counterparts) and migration morbidity (e.g., immigrants display less favorable outcomes than natives) in 102 studies conducted in 14 European countries. We conclude that theoretical assumptions of developmental (e.g., promoting context in families, schools, neighborhoods), social (e.g., intercultural behaviors and att…
Turning Migration Disadvantage into Educational Advantage. Autobiographies of Successful Students with an Immigrant Background
2018
The article focuses on unexpected pathways of successful students with an immigrant background, in order to investigate the implication of this phenomenon from a theoretical, methodological and empirical point of view. After a review of the main sociological studies on “immigrant optimism” towards educational success, I will reflect on biographical approach, particularly suitable to study this topic. A on-going research project based on the collection of educational autobiographies of successful immigrant-origin students, attending upper secondary schools in Northern Italy, is presented. Then, the story of Destiny, a 16 years-old girl with Moroccan origin, is used as a case study to explore…
El derecho penal de la imigración en Italia: un ejemplo de derecho penal del medio (Immigration Criminal Law in Italy: an example of the Criminal Law…
2015
Immigration Criminal Law should be more appropriately called “Criminal Law of the Irregular Immigrant”, since it shows to essentially be based on the criminalization of mere subjective “status”, rather than offensive managements of legal goods. Indeed, behind the protective shelter of an apparent balance between the need to legally protect human rights and the interest in controlling the migratory flow, the system of incriminations in this sector seems to be deeply imbalanced towards the punishment of types of perpetrators who are socially dangerous. It is namely a matter of model of criminal law very similar to the well known standard of “ Criminal Law of the Enemy”. The inspiring “ratio” …
Centros de internamiento de extranjeros. Principales denuncias y novedades legislativas
2014
Los centros de internamiento de extranjeros fueron creados en España hace casi treinta años con la primera Ley de Extranjería y han constituido desde entonces un controvertido mecanismo de control de la política migratoria objeto de críticas y denuncias por la constante vulneración de derechos de los extranjeros que se han constatado. En marzo de 2014 se aprobó un nuevo Reglamento de funcionamiento y régimen interior de estos centros que pretende clarificar su régimen jurídico. En este estudio realizaremos un repaso de las principales denuncias que existen contra ellos y analizaremos algunos de los aspectos de la nueva regulación que hemos considerado más relevantes.
