Migration at Work
Migration and Labour Mobility\nThe willingness to migrate in search of employment is in itself insufficient to compel anyone to move. The dynamics of labour mobility are heavily influenced by the opportunities perceived and the imaginaries held by both employers and regulating authorities in relation to migrant labour. This volume offers a multidisciplinary approach to the study of the structures and imaginaries underlying various forms of mobili…

Mega-Event Mobilities
Global sports events are rarely far from the public eye. Such mega-events are about much more than the sporting competitions themselves. They entail global exposure and intense struggles by different stakeholders.This is the first book to examine sports mega-events from a mobilities perspective. It analyses the ‘mobile construction’ of global sports mega-events and the role this plays in managing labour, imaginaries, policies and legacies. In par…
New Dynamics in Female Migration and Integration
SCOPUS: ch.b
Marriage Migration and the Labour Market
This article starts by asking whether economic motivations can explain why so many youngsters with a migrant background choose to marry a relatively unknown partner from the same region as their parents came from, a region that is largely unknown to them, and conversely why so many young people in countries in the South are opting for an unknown partner living in a far away country. In answering these questions Turkish marriage migration to Belgi…
From Nation State to Migration State
and its consequences -the integration of newcomers to a society -has, in just a few years' time, developed from a purely demographic phenomenon into an issue that has altered the 'being' of the Western Nation-state in all its facets. The topic largely dominates the political debate in Flanders, Belgium and at the level of the European Union.
Marriage at the intersection between tradition and globalization
In this paper, we will investigate the popularity of marriage migration between Turkish communities in Western Europe and emigration regions in Turkey. Our focus here is specifically on the Belgian case, namely the ‘Emirdag connection’. In Belgium, the majority of immigrants with a Turkish background come from the region of Emirdag, in the province of Afyon. On the basis of quantitative research methodologies, we first consider the magnitude of t…
The Democratic Republic of Congo
The information in this chapter is based on interviews conducted in collaboration with the MIDA coordinator Sefu Kawaya during a two-week visit to Kinshasa (3-17 November 2005)
Remittances in the Great Lakes Region
To facilitate the involvement of the diaspora of the Great Lakes region, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Belgium initiated the programme Migration for Development in Africa (MIDA) in 2001. IOM commissioned a study to develop initiatives to facilitate the development impact of remittances for the Great Lakes region. This study aims to provide insight into the advantages and disadvantages of existing transfer methods, governme…
The Turkish Community in Austria and Belgium
The Turkish migrant community is in many European countries one of the largest minority groups. Although the Turks have lived for many decades in different European countries, they remain rather marginalized in the host societies. This study looks into the socio‐economic position of the Turkish population in Austria and Belgium, two relatively small countries. Although there are many differences and similarities between both countries and althoug…
