...Thursday London Edition 3 'Environmental migration' fears BYLINE: Clive Cookson in London SECTION: WORLD NEWS; Pg. 7 LENGTH: 448 wordsHIGHLIGHT: News analysisTens of millions of people are moving to places that are more vulnerable to environmental disaster, particularly the urban flood plains of Asia and Africa, according to a UK government report.By focusing mainly on the people displaced by drought, floods and famine, the world is neglecting those "trapped" in deteriorating environmental conditions or moving into them, says the study prepared by the government's Foresight programme that examines issues 20 to 80 years in the future.The report is the outcome of a two-year study involving 350 experts from 30 countries.It says the problems of migration in response to environmental change are far more complex and challenging than policymakers have realised. But the report, which looks ahead for 50 years, urges them to focus on the positive as well as negative impact of migration."Under some circumstances migration, particularly in low-income countries, can transform a community's ability to cope with environmental change," said Sir John Beddington, UK chief scientific adviser."The movement of individuals or small groups, even at a local or regional level, may increase the future resilience of large communities," he added."This will reduce the risk of both humanitarian disasters and of potentially destabilising mass migration under high risk conditions."A relatively small...

...Multidimensional Lenses on Migration Dilara Sönmez Middle East Technical University Department of International Relations, #1541077 ABSTRACT National and international security has gained new meanings and elements in recent years, especially after Cold War.

The new issues of security agenda may be listed as immigration, global terror, climate change, energy, internal violence, human security etc. This article recovers mainly how irregular migration effects national and human security in a multi dimensional framework, from theories to the cases under several sections of the paper. Firstly, the definition and types; secondly motivations of immigration are outlined with a historical and theoretical briefs. Then the general perception on migration and motivations of migration will be connected more specific sections that are, in sequence, international lenses on migration regarding state and public securities and more specifically, the lenses of the US and European Union on migration.

...Migration Research Paper Name of Institution Name of Student Introduction Global economy as well as how society relates is greatly influenced by migration. Throughout history migration has facilitated human interaction which has led to the spread and advancement of humanity as a whole. Migration facilitates the movement of labour, the transfer of ideas, diffusion of new technology and interaction of various cultures. It is therefore important to understand the trends in migration and the factors causing migration. Migration trends also need to be understood in terms of the characteristics of immigrating groups. In so doing the cause behind the migration of these groups becomes evident. This research tackles the factors causing immigration whilst paying special attention to the role played by government policy and state action. This is mainly because emigration and immigration have, over the years, become state affairs transcending the personal requirements of individuals. Countries have adopted strict laws, policies and protocols that guide the emigration and immigration processes. The paper established a deep correlation between these laws, policies and protocols and the migration patterns. This was after analysis of available migration statistics as well as government policy and state action. The latter was found to have a rooted influence on the former either directly or indirectly. In the direct influence, government policy presents a push or pull factor that necessitated...

...Old Dreams, New Perspectives Migrants already live a post-national life under precarious conditions in that they make themselves into clandestine citizens of Europe without being able to claim national member-ship of an EU country. In so doing, they pre-empt a cosmopolitan European identity of a kind conceived as a political vision by the anti-Fascist and anti-racist resistance in Europe The cosmopolitan dream of an open Europe Europe’s new start after World War II was marked by post-national ideas. It was the experience of European Fascism with its nationalism and racism that gave wings to the social imagination of a different Europe. And it was first and foremost cosmopolitans of the Jewish and anti-Fascist diaspora who developed and represented this “third place” of a post-totalitarian, post-national Europe as a politically realistic perspective. Today, these origins of the modern Europe appear to have been forgotten. Yet the cosmopolitan dream of an open Europe that overcomes its historic barriers of nationalism, racism and colonialism is not dead. Today, however, it is less then ever before a perspective of the political elites. As an idea and as a demand, however, this Europe continues to have its place in the diaspora: among the critics and dissidents of the new Euro-statehood and among the migrants who fight a practical fight against the EU’s neo-colonial border regime. However, a new, disenchanted character of cosmopolitanism is emerging here, marked less...

Immigration from outside of Europe II. The case of Spain 1. Immigration laws and policies in Spain 2. Main countries from where people emigrate to Spain 1. Bulgarians in Spain 3. Main reasons for choosing Spain III. Conclusion The data used in this project is from year 2005. Why did I choose this topic? Watching half of my classmates applying in foreign universities and many of my friends and family choosing to live abroad in order to have “better life” made me wonder what the reasons behind the migrations are. I was interested in the scientific explanation behind the migration processes. This paper gave me the opportunity to understand the incentives behind people’s decisions and the main reasons, pushing people from our own country. And even if I didn’t choose the case of Spain for my topic it proved to be a very interesting one. I learned many new things while writing this paper and it was really interesting to read all this information about...

...Impact of the Global Economic Crisis on China’s Migrant Workers: A Survey of 2,700 in 2009 Mark Wang1 Abstract: An Australian geographer examines the effects of the global financial crisis on China’s migrant workers, based on a recent survey of over 2,700 such workers conducted during January–February 2009. The author focuses on the number of migrant workers returning to their home villages for the annual New Year holiday period, the types of workers that were laid off, options available to such workers upon losing employment, and the reasons underlying their subsequent moves. Implications of the findings for labor policy in China are briefly outlined and several directions for future research identified.

Key words: China, global financial crisis, migrant workers, unemployment, globalization, rural development, push factors, manufacturing exports, hukou, migration networks, remittances, Chinese New Year, return migration. INTRODUCTION M igration is closely tied with processes of globalization and the global economy, and China’s rural-to-urban migrant workers have contributed substantially to the country’s economic growth and success. This group of hard-working laborers has made inexpensive “made-in-China” products available in almost every corner of the world. Varying sources estimate that migrant workers2 have contributed 16–24 percent of China’s GDP growth and...

Migration migrate all mailbox information to the new Exchange mailboxes. Migration allows that two or more separate Exchange organizations can become a single organization. According to McBee, Migration allows movement with your Exchange servers out of your existing Active Directory forestand establishes them in their own forest. (2010) You would want to migrate to deploy a new Active Directory forest and root domain. New user accounts to a new forest to be able to decrease confusion, you’ll migrate each user account to a new Active Directory forest. When you need to move the mailbox data from the legacy Exchange mailbox servers to the new exchange 2010 mailbox servers, you may want to consider migration because you are transitioning. Migrations needs to be kept in checked because of a lot of details and separate types of information. (McBee, 2010). When you are reusing existing hardware, you may want to use leapfrog migration. According to McBee, upgrading is an easier process because all you’re doing is moving mailboxes and public folder information. (2010). You would want to choose upgrading for Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000 or 2003. With this upgrading, all that you are doing is relocating mailboxes and public folder information. There are many factors to consider before upgrading and migration are to understand if you have all the prerequisites...

The interviewees share their migration stories as individuals and with their families. However, despite an increase in the frequency of world-traveling serial migrants in the 21st century, this paper argues that the conception of a global citizenship strays further from fruition. Although new experiences and perspectives accumulate while living abroad in other countries, the community of origin is the foundation of one’s paradigm.

...elsewhere, assess the view that the process of globalisation has led to changes in both the amount of crime and the types of crime committed Globalisation refers to the increasing interconnectedness of societies so that what happens in one locality is shaped by distant events in another and vice versa. For example, the availability of illegal drugs in any UK city and the amount of crime which occurs in order to sustain people’s drug habits depends on how effectively farmers in Columbia and Bolivia can grow illegal crops such as the coca plant and also how effectively global drugs trade gangs can traffic illegal drugs into UK towns and cities. Globalisation is caused by the spread of new information and media technologies especially the internet and satellite tv, mass migration, mass tourism, cheap international air travel, cheaper transportation of goods across borders, containerisation and the increase in transnational organisations that produce and market their goods and brands in a global marketplace. The expansion of free trade (meaning that companies can manufacture and sell their goods in increasing numbers of countries without trade barriers) has led to the establishment of transnational corporations. There is some debate in the sociology of crime and deviance as to the extent to which globalisation has led to changes in the amount of crime and the types of crime committed. Some Marxists such as Taylor (1999) argue that globalisation has led to an increase in crime...
