Migration, immigration og emigration

Common Dreams spiegelt Chinas Wandel, seine vielschichtige Gesellschaft und die nebeneinander bestehenden Gegensätze wider: Moderne und Tradition, Urbanität und Ländlichkeit, Armut und Reichtum, Heimat, Identität undEntwurzelung. Während ein großer Teil der chinesischen Bevölkerung am wirtschaftlichen Erfolg Chinas teilhat und seit Jahren auf der Überholspur lebt, leben die fast 300 Millionen chinesischen Wanderarbeiter marginalisiert in den Randgebieten der großen Metropolen.Seit 2012 hat der Fotograf Kai Löffelbein immer wieder die verschiedenen Provinzen Chinas besucht. Entstanden ist ein mehrdimensionales Buch, das sich kritisch mit dem gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Wandel Chinas auseinandersetzt und dabei den Fokus auf die Lebenswelt der Wanderarbeiter legt - auf ihre Arbeits- und Lebenswirklichkeit, ihre Sorgen und Träume.

Citizenship and residence by investment is a fast-growing global phenomenon. As of 2022, more than a third of all countries in the world offered paths to membership in exchange for a donation or investment into their economies. Yet we know little about how these programmes operate and debates in academia and the wider public are often misinformed by sensationalist cases. This book offers a multidisciplinary exploration of both citizenship and residence by investment on a global scale. Bringing together the expertise of leading legal scholars, economists, sociologists, political scientists, and historians, it provides an informative and empirically grounded assessment of the origins, operation, key causes, and the legal bases of the investment migration programmes. By so doing, the volume demystifies citizenship and residence by investment and takes a critical postcolonial global perspective, addressing key issues in belonging, exclusion, and inequality that define the world today.

The Talents empirical research had an unexpected finding: many companies in the research project regions are open to giving the best possible support to immigrants and refugees - not only because they are looking for new hires but also because they see it as their social duty to help the newcomers to find a job. Especially the staff members are motivated to support the new colleagues, contribute to their development and be mentors to them. However, public funding is urgently needed to implement industrial and language trainings.The book addresses employers interested in employing refugees but also practitioners from education and other facilitators of integration working immigrants. It provides them with a great number of best practices and ideas for effective pathways to create and manage learning processes for workplace language and professional learning for new international staff. The research study should inspire decision makers on the political and the system level to embed fast track labour market integration schemes in other existing programmes.
