Immigration and Integration Policies from Comparative Perspectives

Tuesday, 12 July 2016: 10:45-12:15
Location: Hörsaal 07 (Main Building)
RC31 Sociology of Migration (host committee)

Language: English

Continuous flows of migrants are still a global issue to be tackled. Irregular immigrants attempt to go to Europe through the Lampedusa island and to the United States through the border between Mexico and the United States. Asylum seekers are produced by unstable conditions without breaks such as in Middle East areas. Surely, skilled migrants as well as unskilled migrants try to migrate to receiving countries in order to pursue better jobs. Brokers are often involved in the migration processes, which creates a huge migration industry.
How can the state and other agencies regulate migration flows? Are there new tactics emerging? Does any state adopt similar policies as the convergence hypothesis implies? Or are there some divergences among receiving and sending countries in policy? How are integration issues of residents with migrant backgrounds related to policies of regulation? This session comprise papers that address issues of immigration and integration policies from comparative perspectives.
