Understanding the Dynamics of Return: The Importance of Microfoundations
No full textDisplaced persons are relevant actors in determining not only some of their life options but also some of the final results of violent conflict and policies addressing such conflict. Patterns of relocation and return are a key part of those results, especially ethnic-related conflicts. An introductory model to the micro foundations of return (and relocation) is presented here. This model is intended to provide tools for a better understanding of the way violence affects individuals, and more concretely of the way individuals react and cope with it. Particular emphasis is given here to the role played by security concerns (originating in the conflict) in the decision-making process

Do MPs Represent Us?
No full textIn Spain, the Great Recession and the ensuing crisis of representation have transformed the political landscape with the emergence of new state-level parties. We ask whether these transformations have made Spanish parliamentarians more heterogeneous and representative of society. We hypothesise that this may have happened due to the entry of new parties with more diverse social profiles, and to a lesser extent by adjustments in the profiles of the traditional parties. Using survey data collected from national and regional chambers we find that the new parties have helped improve the representation of younger cohorts, while traditional parties have increased their representation of women and working-class people. Overall, biases in education, professions or religiosity remain across parties, with new and old parties reproducing the traditional left-right axis divide.Peer reviewe
The Composition of Spanish Parliaments: What are the MPs Like?
No full textThis chapter explores the socio-demographic profile of Spanish MPs in both national and regional parliaments, finding a clearly predominant profile among Spanish MPs: men of advanced age and with university degrees. This common pattern in Western democracies is reproduced also by each of the different parties considered, which systematically under-represent their female, young and less educated voters. MPs from conservative parties are more religious than their electorates, whereas the opposite trend is true for left-wing parties. Finally, although the overwhelming majority of Spanish MPs belong (based on their professional status) to the more privileged social classes, almost half of them were born into working-class or intermediate-class families. The other half of Spanish MPs have reproduced their families’ (relatively privileged) social position.N
Economic reintegration postreturn—examining the role of return voluntariness, resource mobilization and time to prepare

Population, Space and Place published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.This paper examines conditions of international return migration and their relation to risks of experiencing economic difficulties postreturn. Relying on unique survey data among Senegalese and Romanian returnees, we revisit and provide an empirical examination of the theoretical notion of return preparedness, involving aspects of voluntariness, resource mobilization and time to prepare. The lack of time to prepare return, more commonly associated with self-declared involuntary returns and deportations, is found to significantly increase the risk of economic difficulties post return in both contexts. Whilst emphasizing the complexity of voluntariness, the findings show that, additionally, returns compelled by external circumstances or negative return motivations (‘semi-involuntary’) are associated with higher risks of economic difficulties. Compared to nonmigrants, returnees experienced decreased risks of economic difficulties in Senegal, but not significantly in Romania. Those forced back to Senegal or compelled to return to Romania did, however not experience such risk decrease.This paper builds on data produced within the TEMPER project (Temporary vs. Permanent Migration, http://www.temperproject.eu/), funded by the European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under grant agreement no 613468.
