Europe's Legal Peripheries: Migration, Asylum and the European Labour Market
Get PDFThe participation of foreign nationals in European labour markets is an effective tool that facilitates those migrants enjoying a more fulfilling life, while at the same time contributing to Europe’s wealth and economic and social development. However, many norms that regulate migration and labour migration undermine this spirit by limiting, both directly and indirectly, non-EU nationals’ access to European labour markets

Migrants, Refugees and Asylum Seekers’ Integration in European Labour Markets
Get PDFThis open access book discusses how, and to what extent, the legal and institutional regimes and the socio-cultural environments of a range of European countries (the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Italy, Switzerland and the UK), in the framework of EU laws and policies, have a beneficial or negative impact on the effective capacity of these countries to integrate migrants, refugees and asylum seekers into their labour markets. The analysis builds on the understanding of socio-cultural, institutional and legal factors as “barriers” or “enablers”; elements that may facilitate or obstruct the integration processes. The book examines the two dimensions of integration being access to the labour market (which, translated into a rights language means the right to work) with its corollaries (recognition of qualifications, vocational training, etc.), and non-discriminatory working conditions (which, translated into a rights language means right to both formal and substantial equality) and its corollaries of benefits and duties deriving from joining the labour market. It thereby offers a novel approach to labour market integration and migration/asylum issues given its focus on legal aspects, which includes most recent policy changes and legal decisions (including litigation cases). The robust, evidence-based and comparative research illustrated in the book provides academics and students, but also practitioners and policy makers, with up to date knowledge that will likely impact positively on policy changes needed to better address integration conundrums

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Immigrazione e integrazione in Austria. Il difficile equilibrio tra esigenze economiche e istanze identitarie
No full textL’attuale deriva dell’Austria, sensibilmente contraria all’immigrazione e all’islam, ha radici molto profonde. L’atteggiamento scettico, se non ostile, all’accoglienza degli stranieri, unito a forti prese di posizione relative alla loro integrazione, si fonda su alcuni elementi caratterizzanti la società politica e la cultura austriaca, che si sono riflessi in congegni costituzionali sempre più restii all’immigrazione. L’Austria vive dalla fine del preesistente Impero un’inesausta ricerca della propria identità e subisce da quasi settant’anni un’immigrazione che non è in grado di controllare. Questi fattori critici, aggravatisi con l’eliminazione delle frontiere intraeuropee e la crisi economica, hanno esacerbato la reazione della società nazionale e innescato processi politici di stampo neoisolazionistico, soprattutto in alcuni Laender
