Aim of the Conference
The
last fifteen years have witnessed dramatic changes in European
international migration. New destinations, new regions of origin and new
flows have emerged. Most of the traditional national migration models have
proved to be inadequate. This has led to major changes in migration
policies and new regulatory regimes have been implemented in most of the
European countries. Political changes and ethnic conflicts in Central and
Eastern Europe have affected the size and direction of European migration
flows, while flows from non-European countries continue to account for a
very sizeable component of migration in Europe. At the same time,
increasingly restrictive immigration policies have invited larger flows of
‘non-conventional’ and undocumented migrants. The European Union is
becoming more closely involved in migration issues, and its enlargement
will probably reinforce its role in making and implementing migration
policies. This conference intends to address some of the emerging issues
in European migration, focusing on new trends and methods of analysis.
Specific consideration will be given to four research themes: the uses and
limitations of special surveys in international migration studies, new
forms of migration in Europe, the evolution of regional patterns of
European international migration, and the problems of measuring the
integration of migrants.
The
conference is open to researchers worldwide but participation will be
limited to 60-70. Papers will be selected by the steering committee. All
the sessions will be plenary and the possibility of including a poster
session will be considered. There will be no registration fee for the
conference. Grants to cover travel and/or accommodation expenses of
participants are not provided.
