Legal Issues Affecting Labour Market Integration of Migrants in Finland
2021
AbstractFinland has only relatively recently become a country of immigration, and as a result most immigration and integration policy legislation is also relatively recent. Since the 1990s, the number of migrants to Finland has increased steadily, motivating the adoption of various policy measures to regulate migration and support integration. From the perspective of migrant labour market integration, the two most important legislative acts are the Aliens Act (FINLEX 301/2004) and the Act on the Promotion of Immigrant Integration (FINLEX 1386/2010), which lay out basic labour market integration supports for migrants, and determine who can work in Finland and on which grounds. Finland’s comp…
I traffici illeciti nel Mediterraneo. Persone, stupefacenti, tabacco
2019
Attraverso la combinazione di ricerca criminologica e giuridico-normativa, e grazie anche alla collaborazione con esperti esterni (studiosi, magistrati, rappresentanti di istituzioni italiane e straniere), la ricerca da cui scaturisce il volume ha indagato le interazioni tra i diversi traffici illeciti e la criminalità organizzata nel bacino del Mediterraneo. In tale area, storicamente cruciale per la mobilità di persone e di beni, l’attenzione si è rivolta in particolare ai fenomeni del traffico e della tratta di persone, del traffico di stupefacenti e del contrabbando di sigarette. I contributi raccolti – unitamente al rapporto criminologico e ai cinque rapporti nazionali accessibili su w…
The Dual/Global Value of SARS-CoV-2 Genome Surveillance on Migrants Arriving to Europe via the Mediterranean Routes.
2021
Despite the pandemic, 34,154 migrants, refugees or asylum-seekers landed in Sicily (Italy) in 2020, representing the main point of entry by sea into Europe. The SARS-CoV-2 surveillance program among migrants arriving to Sicily via the Mediterranean Sea, made by the combination of clinical examination and molecular testing, has been integrated by full-genome sequencing strains using the NGS technology from the last week of February. To date, more than one hundred full-genome strains have been sequenced and 8 different lineages have been identified mostly belonging to the lineages B.1.1.7 and B.1.525. As global access to COVID-19 vaccines should be ensured, the need to provide more detailed i…
La memòria recuperada: l’ús dels relats biogràfics en la segona i tercera generació dels emigrants valencians als Estats Units d’Amèrica a principi d…
2021
És habitual quan es fa ús del mètode biogràfic recollir els relats directament d'aquells que van viure els fets narrats, siguin estos tota una vida o alguns aspectes que l'investigador desitgi que siguin destacats. En la investigació duta a terme sobre la recuperació de la memòria dels emigrants valencians als Estats Units d'Amèrica durant les dues primeres dècades del segle XX això es presenta com un fet impossible: els que van viure en primera persona l'emigració ja han desaparegut. Es podria pensar que amb ells desapareixien també les seues històries. Però gràcies a un exhaustiu treball amb els seus descendents (filles i fills, nétes i néts, nebodes i nebots) i fent ús de tècniques que s…
Il traffico di migranti. Diritti, tutele, criminalizzazione
2015
Il volume affronta il tema del traffico di migranti da un punto di vista interdisciplinare, raccogliendo contributi di studiosi di varia provenienza. L'argomento vi è trattato non solo nella prospettiva - penalistica - della criminalizzazione dei trafficanti, ma anche in quella delle tutele da accordare al migrante trafficato e dei diritti da riconoscergli
CANDIDATI “STRANIERI” E ORGANI CONSULTIVI: UNO SGUARDO SULLA PARTECIPAZIONE POLITICA DEI MIGRANTI
2016
La partecipazione politica locale dei migranti costituisce un fenomeno interessante e ancora poco indagato. Il contributo affronta in breve due elementi: la partecipazione politica dei migranti in occasione delle elezioni amministrative 2012 nel Comune di Palermo in termini di elettorato passivo e le funzioni e le modalità di partecipazione degli organi consultivi per i migranti presenti in Sicilia. Local political participation of migrants is an interesting and unobserved phenomenon. The contribution deals briefly with two aspects: the political participation of migrants during the 2012 administrative elections in the Municipality of Palermo in terms of passive electorate and the functions…
"Engaging migrants in e-consultations: a way to recognize their political rights and identity", in Angelini A. (2011) (a cura di), Migrants, Cultural…
2011
This chapter reflects on the role of the new media – the Internet and mobile communications – in facilitating alternative forms of public participation that involve citizens and migrants in the policy making. The e-consultation, in this way, becomes not only a means of investigation for informational purposes and data collection, but also a method to foster knowledge of the needs and perspectives of migrants to a given law or public intervention and, therefore, a realistic way that get informed foreigners too, to develop an alternative procedure of social and cultural integration.
"Intecity": esempi di trasformazione degli spazi in un quartiere del centro storico di Palermo
2012
The presence and the integration of migrants in the cities, leads to the articulation of new forms of urban life. By an empirical research conducted in 2007 in a suburb of the historical centre of Palermo, Palazzo Reale, the cognitive question that we posed to ourselves, was to observe whether the presence of migrants in an urban area traditionally “marginal” has triggered off a transformation in its structure and in the structure of the relationship between these spaces.
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…
The migrant crisis in the Mediterranean Sea: Empirical evidence on policy interventions
2021
Abstract This paper presents a novel set of empirical evidence to explore several hypotheses regarding the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean Sea. The political instability in transit countries, such as Libya, that made pre-existent repatriation policies ineffective, called for several search-and-rescue operations in the Mediterranean, which in turn have been wrongly accused of fostering illegal immigration and increasing deaths at sea. The empirical results show that the main determinants of the departures are several root causes at the departing African countries, underlining the importance of fighting human smuggling networks. The paper suggests a change in migration studies’ perspectiv…
