Förebered För Framtidens Klimatflyktingar Genom Att Fokusera På Nutidens Flyktingar Och Migranter, Matthew Scott

Matthew Scott

I presentationen diskuterar jag tre olika former av klimat relaterad migration och flykt och argumenterar för mer fokus på aktuella scenarier, befintliga rättsliga instrument och innovativa politiska lösningar. Om vi fokusera på dagens klimat relaterad migration och flykt, så kommer vi ätt vara bättre förberedda att agera till den förväntade ökningen utan att kompromissa Europas grundläggande principer med militariserade gränsvakter.


The Impact Of Exchange Rate Fluctuations On Labor Migration: Evidence From U.S. Nonimmigrant Visa Statistics, Yaqi Gao Jun 2015

The Impact Of Exchange Rate Fluctuations On Labor Migration: Evidence From U.S. Nonimmigrant Visa Statistics, Yaqi Gao

Honors Theses

Since mid-20th century, international migration has become a widespread phenomenon in nearly all industrialized countries and a major shaping force of the international labor market. Most economic theories consider labor migration to be an investment of human capital where workers seek to maximize household income and minimize financial risks. Because exchange rate changes affect prospective income and financial risks associated with migration, studying the responsiveness of skilled migrants to exchange rate fluctuations contribute to the studies of labor economics and international economics. This paper further investigates whether an appreciation in U.S. dollars incentivizes both skilled and unskilled workers to migrate …


Crossing Borders: Loving V. Virginia As A Story Of Migration, Victor C. Romero May 2015

Crossing Borders: Loving V. Virginia As A Story Of Migration, Victor C. Romero

Victor C. Romero

The struggle of binational same-gender partners today parallels the struggles of Mildred and Richard Loving during the heyday of the Civil Rights Movement - not only in the obvious parallels between race and sexual orientation as barriers to freedom, but also in the way the law uses these immutable characteristics to limit the freedom of movement. It is this freedom of movement - this migration or immigration - that I want to focus on in this essay. Lest we forget, the Lovings' story is, importantly, a story of migration: It's a story of the great lengths to which an interracial …

Non-Refoulement In A World Of Cooperative Deterrence, Thomas Gammeltoft-Hansen, James C. Hathaway Jan 2015

Non-Refoulement In A World Of Cooperative Deterrence, Thomas Gammeltoft-Hansen, James C. Hathaway

Articles

Developed states have what might charitably be called a schizophrenic attitude towards international refugee law. Determined to remain formally engaged with refugee law and yet unwavering in their commitment to avoid assuming their fair share of practical responsibilities under that regime, wealthier countries have embraced the politics of non-entrée, comprising efforts to keep refugees away from their territories but without formally resiling from treaty obligations. As the early generation of non-entrée practices — visa controls and carrier sanctions, the establishment of “international zones,” and high seas deterrence — have proved increasingly vulnerable to practical and legal challenges, new forms of …


Exploitation In Migration: Unacceptable But Inevitable, Anne T. Gallagher Ao Dec 2014

Exploitation In Migration: Unacceptable But Inevitable, Anne T. Gallagher Ao

Anne T Gallagher

For the millions of people who want or need to move, migration has become progressively more expensive and perilous. Legal access to preferred destinations is now an option only for the privileged few. The rest are forced into the arms of those able to help them circum- vent ever-increasing controls and deterrents. Migrant smuggling, the business of moving people across borders for profit, is a sordid and dangerous enterprise, often placing lives and well-being at serious risk. And the dangers do not end there. Many of the world’s migrants find themselves deeply in debt to recruitment agencies, brokers, and sometimes …
