Coming together or pulling apart? The European Union's struggle with immigration and asylum Demetrios G. PAPADEMETRIOU
1996
Immigration and asylum are at the center of political debate in all 15 member countries of the European Union. Many governments continue to guard their prerogatives to act unilaterally on these matters while simultaneously expressing their commitment to the goal of a Union without internal borders.
The author explores this paradox while tracing European efforts to find a collective voice on immigration. He argues that failure to resolve the tensions among member states on these issues has become a major obstacle to European integration as envisioned in the Maastricht Treaty.

Communication
The purpose of this Communication is to stimulate this debate, taking into account the essential structural reforms the EU economy is undergoing in the framework of the European Employment Strategy and which are now showing the expected benefits. The admission of labour migrants can make a contribution to this strategy, but, because of the very important human issues involved, one on which there should be a clear understanding between the Member States on its role and contribution.

BLION Reynald, RIGONI Isabelle (Eds)
2001
Book
Publication only available in french
Véritable serpent de mer, périodiquement actualisé, le débat sur les relations entre migration et développement a fait l'objet de nombreuses contributions.
Pus rares sont celles fondées sur le parti pris de cet ouvrage ; à savoir porter un regard - des regards - sur les relations entre migrations et développement sous l'angle des pratiques et des dynamiques initiées par les acteurs issus de l'immigration africaine ou asiatique résidant en Europe, en faveur du développement de leur société d'origine mais aussi d'accueil.
Les analyses sur les initiatives tant privées que publiques, sur les groupes d'acteurs impliqués dans ces actions, sur les cadres dans lesquels ou sur lesquels ils agissent, regroupées au sein de cet ouvrage, offrent une gamme variée de clés de compréhension de la migration et du développement, et de leurs interactions. Enfin, la diversité des auteurs - chercheurs ou praticiens du développement, issus ou non de l'immigration - réunis au sein de cet ouvrage garantit une expression pluraliste des voix de l'immigration pour un développement pluriel et participatif, impliquant réellement les différentes composantes de la société civile.
L'introduction à cet ouvrage est disponible sur le site.

EU External Relations and International Migration Jan Niessen - France Mochel
1999
Study
This paper attempts to identify instruments of the EU's expanded external policies in as far as they are relevant to migration that is primarily motivated by socio-economic factors. It provides an overview of current global migratory movements, in particular towards the EU, and sketches the external aspects of the EU's migration policy and developmental policy instruments. The EU's external relations and socio-economic cooperation with Central and Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean and the ACP countries are assessed and the role of migrants and minorities in the economic development of their countries of origin is considered.
Faut-il ouvrir les frontières? Catherine Withol de Wenden
Octobre 1999
Book
Recent discussions in France on the entry and residency policies, the affair of the "Sans-papiers", and more generally the debates on the difficulties of borders control in East and South Europe question, as a watermark, the efficiency of the control of migratory flows.
In what extent can States control their borders either separately or together?
The migration control policy has mitigated results as for the efficiency of the control as for the respect of human rights. Is there a compromise between the frontiers openness and the "immigration zero" credo? Isn't there more to lose in closing than in opening? How will it be by the year 2020-2030, when societies in the North experiment labour shortages and have to rely on immigration? What destabilizing effects can we expect, in that last case if frontiers were to be open?
Here is what questions the European dogma on frontiers closing.
The book poses a fundamental question: in a world where capital, goods, media, ideas move freely, why shouldn't individuals do so? What kind of scenarios could we imagine if frontiers were open? And if one keeps on wanting to shut frontiers, what will happen in twenty of fifty years?

International Migration Papers 44 - Migration of highly skilled persons from developing countries: impact and policy responses B. Lindsay Lowell - Allan Findlay
2002
Study
This report forms the overall synthesis report of a series of studies conducted by the
International Labour Office under the DFID-sponsored project on .Skilled labour migration
(the .brain drain.) from developing countries: Analysis of impact and policy issues.
This is a summary report of a research project undertaken by the International Labour Office for the United Kingdom's Department for International Development. Background papers were written on the impact of high skilled mobility from developing countries, general policy responses, specific processes and responses in the United Kingdom; and yet more specifics in eight countries and two regions: Argentina, Bulgaria, India, Jamaica (and the Caribbean), Philippines, South Africa (and Southern Africa), Sri Lanka and Uruguay.3 This report summarises the highlights of 12 background papers and suggests major policy directions that developed countries might adopt to manage the flow of skilled workers from developing countries.
International Migration Papers 45 - Policy responses to the international mobility of skilled labour B. Lindsay Lowell
2002
Study
The international mobility of highly skilled workers presents developing countries with a serious challenge. Theory and research suggest that the direct impact of a brain drain, that is a sizable loss of highly educated natives abroad, represents a reduction in the accumulation of human capital or knowledge (Straubhaar 2000; Lowell 2001). Such losses are greater than the simple loss of investment in educating the emigrants in the first place and the immediate result is a reduction in economic growth of developing countries. (…)
This review describes "Six Rs" or policies that can facilitate feedback effects and, thereby, take advantage of high skilled emigration.
International Migration Papers 46 - Some developmental effects of the international migration of highly skilled persons B. Lindsay Lowell
2002
Study
This paper reviews the extent to which highly (tertiary) educated emigrants from developing countries represent an economic loss or .brain drain. (1) It systematically reviews available data on international mobility, (2) then it examines the economic analysis of direct effects of brain drain on economic development, and it (3) finishes the review by considering the major favourable feedback effects generated by high skilled emigration.

Les migrants, partenaires de la coopération internationale : le cas des Maliens de France Christophe Daum
1995
"Malian immigrants in France from the Region of Kayes constitute a community
which is culturally and ethnically homogeneous and their expatriate associations have
proven to be dynamic. Originally, migration was conceived of by the migrants and their
families as temporary, but it has gradually become a common strategy of
diversification of income for the village economy and the preferred way of upward
social mobility for many disadvantaged people. Thus, dependence on income from
migration has increased and has been reinforced by unfavourable local economic
conditions."

Racism and cultural diversity in the mass media - An overview of research and examples of good and bad practice in the EU Members States, 1995-2000 ERCOMER - European Research center on Migration and Ethnic Relations
2002
Study
This project aims to chart good and bad practices in media reporting on ethnic issues, immigration and racism across EU member states. This is done by taking stock of the existing research on racism and cultural diversity in the media published in the period 1995-2000. The report presents a research overview of mass media (radio, TV, press) in the Member States, regarding the way racism, antiracism and multiculturalism has been covered and the way the mass media have worked to promote cultural diversity and integration.
Questions answered for each Member State and all Member States compared:
what kind of documents (research reports, national overviews, investigations) have been produced in the last five years (1995-2000), describing and analysing the way mass media have covered racism, antiracism/multiculturalism and the way mass media have prevented racism and promoted racial equality/human rights?
What are the main findings? What are the main differences and the main similarities between the mass media in the Member States regarding these issues?

Remittances and Immigrants: Global context and Italian Case Dossier Statistico Immigrazione
2002
Study
In today globalized world, immigrants pay the role on "Mediators for Development." The savings that immigrants remit to their countries of origin contribute considerably to the countries' development. In this way, emigrants remittances have a fundamental impact on the local development, international trade and the balance of debt payments. In 1998, the limmigrants remittances totalled $61.2 billion USD, an amount that seconded only the finances derives from oil.
This study focuses on the global phenomenon of immigration from a economic point of view. We have presented the global context of immigrants remittances and elaborated on the italian case. Italy represents an interesting case study because within only a few years Italy transformed from a country of emigration to a country of immigration.
The growing volume onf the remittances sent fro Italy abroad is evidence of this change.
The " Dossier Statistico Immigrazione" is a annual report on immigration in Italy conducted by Caritas in collaboration with other researches. Besides, the "Dossier", Caritas also produces specific research studies, such as this one which was sponsored by the International Labour Organization of Geneva.

Book
What are the latest developments in the production, representation and reception of media output, produced by, for or about ethnic minorities?
What informs the questions media researchers ask and pursue when examining the mass media and ethnic minorities?
What are the principal forces of change currently shaping the field?
There are few media issues more pressing, or potentially more consequential, than the representation of ethnic minorities. This authoritative text therefore brings together leading international researchers who have examined some of the latest processes of change (and continuity) informing the field of ethnic minorities and the media. Numerous studies of 'race', racism and the mass media have been conducted in the past. However, both the media landscape and the cultural field of ethnic minorities are fast changing, and this book addresses the recent developments which have threatened to outpace our ability to map, understand and intervene in processes of change. Presented in an accessible style, this book provides the reader with an overview of the very latest research findings and informed discussion. It opens with an introductory essay which maps recent approaches to the field, followed by substantive chapters which are structured thematically to address key processes of change such as media representations, media production, and cultures of identity.
This chapter is based in ongoing research into transnational networks of communication and diaspora communities. It focuses on everyday cultural and discursive practices among British Asian young living in Southall, a multiethnic suburb of London, and a major commercial and cultural center of the South Asian diaspora.
