Agricultural crisis, refugee crisis, or health crisis? Migrant seasonal workers in Italian agriculture during the COVID pandemic International Migration (IF 2.022) Pub Date : 2024-05-31 Pietro Cingolani
The concept of crisis has been widely used to describe European social phenomena which have become acute and unmanageable in recent years. Exceptionality and emergency have become attributes of the political strategies developed to address the economic, social, and environmental unsustainability of industrial farming; the flow of forced migrants; and the COVID‐19 pandemic. This article is based on

The buying of freedom: Migrant workers and the “Azad” Visa in the Persian Gulf1 International Migration (IF 2.022) Pub Date : 2024-05-27 Zahra Babar
The six monarchies of the Persian Gulf are considered to be the world's third largest hub of international migration, having over the decades drawn millions of labour migrants to occupy a range of jobs across all tiers of the labour market. Despite decades of an unabated inward flow of foreign workers, none of the regional governments consider themselves to be destinations for permanent settlement

Does skill emigration hurt unskilled workers? Theory and cross‐country evidence International Migration (IF 2.022) Pub Date : 2024-04-18 Saibal Kar, Sugata Marjit
How does out‐migration of skilled workers affect unskilled workers' wage in the source country? When skilled workers emigrate, unskilled wages tend to go down in some countries. If the sector that uses both skilled and unskilled workers shows a lower degree of capital intensity as compared to sectors that use only skilled workers in production, it is a common outcome. We use 19 years of cross‐country

INTRODUCTION In the context of a methodological turn in migration studies since the early 2000s, this commentary focuses on three key contributions of feminist methodologies in migration research over the past two decades. This is not to suggest that feminist methodologies are “new,” or that some of these methodological orientations were not present in earlier work, but rather to highlight methodologies

Qualitative analysis of migrants' network data: Using conceptual reflexivity to reveal the ‘magic trick’ International Migration (IF 2.022) Pub Date : 2024-03-20 Alessio D'Angelo, Louise Ryan
While in recent years, qualitative social network analysis (SNA) has advanced considerably – particularly in migration research – there is still an overall tendency to focus more on issues of network structure and on the generation of data, rather than on how data can be interpreted and analysed qualitatively in practice. In this article, we discuss how a genuinely qualitative SNA should not only apply

From smuggled migrants to ‘alleged smugglers’: Empirical evidence and policy perspectives on the criminalization of people on the move in Italy International Migration (IF 2.022) Pub Date : 2024-02-22 Federico Alagna
Since 2014, numerous people on the move have been accused of migrant smuggling in Italian courts for steering makeshift vessels or for assisting in navigation across the Mediterranean Sea. This is the case regardless of the fact that such behaviour was the result of coercion or threats. In this contribution, drawing upon extensive empirical research and following a socio-legal paradigm, I first explore

Intersectional migration research: Re-centring governance structures International Migration (IF 2.022) Pub Date : 2024-01-24 Laura Cleton, Sarah Scuzzarello
Within migration studies, the use of intersectionality as a theoretical, conceptual and analytical tool is increasingly gaining traction. Most of this research provides compelling empirical evidence demonstrating how migrants' intersecting social locations shape their experiences of migration and settlement (see also Clark-Kazak, 2024). These insights are important in understanding how social boundaries

Migration between imperfectly competitive economies International Migration (IF 2.022) Pub Date : 2024-01-12 Jeffrey Sheen, Hao Xu
We study the role of bargaining as a barrier to migration in the equilibrium of a two-region world with imperfectly competitive labour markets. Equilibrium migration is jointly determined by relative labour market bargaining powers, productivity and costs of migration. If migrants complement host factors, higher migration generally benefits both source and host economies. An enhancement of the bargaining

Restrictions on mobility as a measure to contain the COVID-19 pandemic meant, in the case of Spain, an abrupt ending to what could be called the second international migratory boom. At the same time, internal migrations underwent considerable change, with cities becoming less attractive as a destination for migrants, and increased flows into rural areas. In this context, our aim is twofold. First,
