Migration governance, migration management and migration crises have been key themes among migration scholars and governments over the last decade. Historically, systemic political economic crises are accompanied by the scapegoating of migrants, often as a strategy to shift the focus away from political and economic decisions taken by states. The E...
Study abroad experiences enhance skills such as adaptability, cross-cultural communication, and foreign language proficiency (1). Because of this, study abroad experience is often expected to be valued by employers. Nevertheless, scientific evidence on the value that employers attribute to international study experiences remains rather restricted,...
How did the highly skilled Italians who chose to live abroad benefit from participation in the Erasmus program? How did they define and describe their experience with Erasmus, especially advantages and disadvantages? After conducting 51 semistructured and in-depth online interviews with highly skilled, spatially mobile, emigrant Italians, we used A...
This chapter gives a nice snapshot of the changing asylum policies in the last 20 years in Italy. There are the numbers, legislative concerns and finally the role of civil society organisations that are explaining the recent and current situation in a very precise way.
Young, skilled and educated Italians have been emigrating in record numbers: About 160,000 Italians moved abroad in 2018 alone. While much of recent research focused on the economic drivers of this spatial mobility, this article explores highly skilled Italians' mobile life projects from a gender perspective. Our study was guided by the following r...
Tra Politica estera e dimensione funzionale: la dimensione esterna della politica migratoria italiana (DEPMI).
This article explores high skilled migration from Turkey in Italy. The theme is very much understudied, but requires scholars’ and policymakers’ attention. Indeed, high-skilled migration is one of the main tenets of a globalised world where borders seem to be less relevant for qualified people. Further, high-skilled migration has caused large debat...
This paper aims to promote an understanding of what cultural and creative industries in general, and valorisation of Pistoia's cultural life in particular, mean to the main stakeholders and how they establish the collaboration during this process of negotiation, fundraising and prioritising the cultural production/ experience/consumption according...
In this article we analyse the flow of high-skilled migrants from Turkey to Italy, as two countries characterized by their inability to retain skilled labour. From a theoretical viewpoint, neo-classical theories would expect the migration to be a function of spatial disequilibria (for instance, pull and push factors with macro explanations). Yet, s...
How did women relate to space and time when working at home during the COVID-19 pandemic? We contextualized women's relationships with their home spaces as they became nomads in their own homes during the lockdown. In face-to-face focus-group interviews conducted with 50 women who had experience with smart work or telework in Tuscany, Italy, we obs...
How can we guarantee that "extracting data" is realised most respectfully and reciprocally online? How can we receive the most relevant responses from the interviewee in online interviews? These questions have been even more pertinent during the Covid-19 pandemic. In this paper, we aim to demonstrate how the preparation of the research process that...
This article reports the results of a systematic review on displaced and refugee-background students' transitioning and (re-)integration into European higher education (HE). A total of 7082 studies have been assessed for eligibility in six languages. Forty-four empirical studies conducted in 14 countries of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA)...

When first established in 1987, the Erasmus programme (rebranded Erasmus+ in 2014) aimed to encourage transnational collaboration between higher education institutions without involving national authorities (Ribeiro 2021). One of its first functions was to enhance cultural integration (González et al. 2011), but within a few years the European Comm...
‘Face Forward … into my home’ is the theme and the name of the project that inspired this chapter: an interactive cultural heritage focused initiative wherein refugees from different countries (including Iran, Iraq, Congo, Syria and Afghanistan) were actively involved in art interpretations of their life stories, group discussions and photography....
Purpose
In this study, we attempt to estimate the disability costs of households employing the Standard of Livings (SoL) approach and evaluate the impact of the Universal health system reform implemented in Turkey in 2008.
Design/methodology/approach
We apply a Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), which simultaneously estimates the disability and...
Waste management is a challenging task around the globe. Waste disposal and recycling have important implications, not only for environmental preservation, but also for the public health, well-being, the economy and sustainable development. However , little is known about the impact of the recycling rates on public health and the willingness to pay...
Long-standing challenges concerning unemployment and the role of government have been the dominant underlying themes in the countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Effective State-Business Relations (SBRs) comprise a set of highly responsive and public interactions between the state and the business sector. The aim of this stud...
My multicultural family is Bulgarian and Turkish, and has been Americanised via interethnic marriages. Within this story, the context is set by mixed marriages as well as the objects brought from abroad: the objects that my father brought from the USA, the records, in particular, reflect the Zeitgeist during his emigration perfectly. The acculturat...

The discussion regarding the integration of Syrians in Turkey most often suggests that integration policies are not in place and even if they were, they would not (be) sufficient. On the other hand, the temporariness of the settlement of Syrians in legislation and state policies is still evident. When we look at the integration of the resettled ref...
Young people involved in geographical mobility face diverse gendered mobility settings and gender inequalities. How do the youth involved in diverse mobility types deal with adverse circumstances caused by gender beliefs and gender prejudices? To answer this question, problem-centred interviews with young people (18-29) are analysed using Grounded...
This chapter deals with the issue of how policies and policy makers account for the integration of migrants whose stay is expected to be temporary. Temporary migration policies target those whose labour is wanted but whose integration is not. According to the international conventions regarding migrant workers, they should have the same access to s...
Avrupa Birliği'nin (AB) küresel bir güç olup olmadığına dair birçok akademik tartışma yaşanmıştır. Küresel güç normatif olarak belirli şartlara uymalı ve belirli özelliklere sahip olmalıdır. İhtişamlı bir askeri güce sahip olmak bir ülkeyi küresel bir güç haline getiremez. Küresel bir güç aynı zamanda en iyi beyinleri bünyesinde barındıran, araştır...

Young people are mobile across Europe and transnational mobility is seen as a differentiating factor enabling them to gain personal and professional experience. While relationships are seen as important for mobility, the relevance of personal networks to young people´s thoughts of moving abroad has not received adequate attention. Specifically, dif...
Even though intra-European youth mobility is valued as a boost for personal and professional development, few opt for it. While obstacles preventing young people to become mobile have been discussed broadly, less attention has been paid to the obstacles for the youth who are already on the move. We offer this rare perspective in regard to intra-Eur...
Where does youth mobility stand in the complex picture of diverse types of inequalities that affect youth and the content of their mobilities? In the light of this question, with this special issue, we look at the hindering and fostering factors in the mobility of young people, and examine different facets of mobility (social networks, transnationa...
This study deals with the concept of Aegean in Motion and this concept’s conflict with migration policymaking in Turkey. We argue that the region has always been a route for immigration and emigration with distinct causes and consequences. Our aim is to focus on four different and massive phases of this motion. First, we look at the period that sta...
Temporality and space in literature and migration involves not only the theories on ideas of return migration, transnational migration but also the question of how permanent becomes temporary and how temporary becomes permanent. There are a couple of relations in one's life that is impossible to change: the links with one's own family, where one be...
The integration of refugees in Turkey has been realized in the field with the help of DGMM (Directorate General on Migration Management), Kızılay and UNHCR mainly, and by many more international and non-governmental organizations that have supported refugees by answering their short-term needs such as giving them cards for shopping, clothes, prepar...
The referendum result in Britain in 2016 and the potential loss of EU labour in the advent of a ‘hard Brexit’ has raised pressing questions for sectors that rely on EU labour, such as agriculture. Coupled with the closure of the long-standing Seasonal Agricultural Scheme in 2013, policymakers are grappling with how to satisfy on the one hand employ...
Emigration history and remittances are closely linked. The debate of remittances in terms of their effects in the host communities, if they contribute to wealth creation and under which conditions they continue to benefit the host state are all interesting issues to debate but none of these dilemmas reach absolute answers. In this paper the cases o...

Despite temporary migration programmes (TMPs) being heralded as achieving a triple win – whereby the host state, the sending state and the migrants themselves all benefit – the UK government has now terminated all such programmes, including the long-standing Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme (SAWS). At the same time, TMPs have been heavily criti...
Questions
Question (1)
Dear Researchers,
I have been trying to use the google forms to reach our interviewees (Italian emigrants abroad, graduates from University of Pisa, University of Florence, University of Siena and Universita per Stranieri di Siena, and we are looking for those who are under the age of 35). The google forms help us filter the ones we will need to be in contact with, so that we can start our qualitative research process.
I was wondering if you have any suggestions on how to reach higher numbers in responses? Would be glad to hear from those who have distributed surveys and used google forms before?
Thank you very much!
best regards,
Sahizer Samuk.
