China’s New Silk Road Project and the Mobilities Turn: Understanding Power Through Flows
No full textChina’s New Silk Road—the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)—is in the first instance an infrastructural mega-project, but works as a powerful political act. The mobilities geography, a theoretical framework assessing not only displacements of goods, people and ideas, but also their connected meanings, offers a suitable set of tools to investigate multiple layers of BRI, both from an infrastructural and from a relational perspective. Corporeal travel and good transportation, but also the establishment of information flows among Central Eurasian countries and with other world continents, and the establishment of multi-sectoral (and possibly asymmetrical) ties among regional economies. This contribution explores the advantages of understanding the BRI mega-project using the lenses of mobilities geography, i.e. exploring its ability to redefine the constellations of political power worldwide by means of an exchange of goods, people and ideas. The ultimate goal is to enlighten uncovered aspects of BRI and to set an agenda for future research

Simulation of Diluted Flow Regimes in Presence of Unsteady Boundaries
No full textThe main feature of diluted flows is the presence of both continuum and kinetic regimes in the same field. TheES-BGKmodel is a kinetic model that preserves the asymptotic properties towards compressible Euler equations in the hydrodynamic regime, yet modeling momentum and kinetic energy diffusion for low Knudsen numbers. Here, this model is discretized by a finite-volume scheme on Cartesian meshes. The scheme is second order up to the possiblymoving boundaries. To ensure a smooth transition between the hydrodynamic and the kinetic regime up to the walls, appropriate boundary conditions are devised. As an application, we present the simulation of an unsteady nozzle plume in a very low pressure environment
European identities in comparative perspective
No full textThis chapter explores patterns of European and national identity and examines whether there have been any trends over time towards the emergence of a European identity. It focuses on the comparison of the trends since 2004 in European identities, satisfaction with European democracy and national unemployment rates. The stability of the trends in levels of European identities contrast very markedly with the trends in satisfaction with European Union (EU) democracy, which took a major hit in the EU countries which had seen major increases in unemployment. The chapter discusses three main grounds for expecting long-term change. First, the increasing internal migration within the EU, largely although not exclusively the result of the free movement of labour principle. Second, the long-term increases in the educational levels of European populations - higher education tending to be associated with greater European-ness. Third, generational change as younger generations with dual and European identities tend to replace older generations with exclusively national identities
Europe's promise for jobs? Labor market integration of young EU migrant citizens in Germany and the United Kingdom
No full textMigrant youth are faced with the double disadvantage of labor market entry and problems associated with assimilation and discrimination in the broad context of migrant life courses (Kogan et al. 2011, 75). In the words of Hooijer and Picot (2015, p. 5), “Migrants are by definition labour market entrants” (see also Kogan 2006). Although there is some literature on barriers to labor market integration for recent immigrants in general (Kogan 2006; Andrews, Clark, and Whittaker 2007; Clark and Lindley 2009; Demireva 2011; Altorjai 2013), little countrycomparative evidence is available on the working conditions of recent young EU migrant workers. Also, to date, only a few studies have explicitly compared migrant citizens from different European Union (EU) countries of origin with regard to their labor market outcomes (Akgüç and Beblavý 2015; Höhne and Schulze Buschoff 2015; Recchi 2015) while simultaneously taking into account the different institutional contexts in the countries of destinatio
