Beneficiary-Ownership'? Redemptive Knowledge and Policy-Making on Migration in West Africa
West Africa sees major activity in the development of migration policies, promoted by international organisations, funded by governments mainly of Europe. Policy development is couched in terms of ‘beneficiary-ownership’, stressing the participation of West African governments. This is problematised as playing down the influence of European and international organisations. We argue that policy-making on migration in West Africa is better understo…
Migration drivers and migration choice
The notion of migration as being at least partly about 'choice' is deeply rooted in both academic thought and public policy. Recent contributions have considered migration choice as step-wise in nature, involving a separation between 'aspiration' and 'ability' to migrate, whilst stressing a range of non-economic factors that influence migration choices. But such nuances have not prevented the emergence of a significant area of public policy that …
Assessing vulnerability of remittance‐recipient and nonrecipient households in rural communities affected by extreme weather events
Migration is one way in which rural households can seek to reduce their vulnerability to climate change. However, migration also carries risks and costs, such that vulnerability may not be reduced. This article constructs an index of rural households' vulnerability to extreme weather events, in order to explore how key components of vulnerability relate to migration. Applied to case studies in China and India, the study finds that the effect of r…

The experiences of ‘new’ East European immigrants in the UK labour market
This paper explores the experiences of new European immigrants (from Albania, Bulgaria, Russia, Serbia and Montenegro and Ukraine) in the UK labour market, in relation to their education and training at home, as well as the extent of occupational mobility within the UK. It draws on a survey of nearly 400 new immigrants interviewed in late 2005, and a similar number of long-term residents in Brighton & Hove, Hackney and Harrow. The study does not …

Temporary Protection and the Assisted Return of Refugees from the European Union
While there is a growing literature on ‘temporary protection’ in Europe, the question of return has remained relatively less studied. This is however an important focus given that most host governments originally granted temporary protection on the premise of eventual return. Focusing on the case of Bosnians in the European Union, this paper analyses the relationship between temporary protection and return, both in terms of the extent to which re…

Forced Migration, Land-Use Change and Political Economy in the Forest Region of Guinea
This paper examines the impact of forced migration on land use change in Yomou prefecture in the forest region of Guinea from a broadly ‘political economy’ perspective. Focusing on the period since 1989, when over 500,000 refugees from Liberia and Sierra Leone have been present in the region, it considers the extent and mechanisms through which refugees have gained access to land in three study villages, and seeks explanations for the pattern of …
