    During the time period of the twentieth century in Europe and the Middle East there were significant changes occurring in major forced migration movements such as Muslims during the Balkan Wars and many Jews during World War II. ‘Superpower’s’ (or successful dominant European countries) citizens never migrating away from their homeland remained constant.…

    Immigration is a political issue which reveals the inherent contradiction behind the notion of the liberal democratic nation state. That being the universal promise of human rights, and the exclusive promise of membership to the nation. Nowhere is this clearer than the debate surrounding naturalization and the granting of citizenship to immigrants. Historically in Europe, citizenship has been intrinsically tied to membership of a singular culture or ethnicity, but over the last few decades there has been a general trend of liberalization throughout Europe. However, for the most part naturalization is viewed as a reward granted to the immigrants who show an understanding and appreciation of the civic and cultural norms already in place. The…

    Proactive Immigration

    According to the statistics, some European countries including Germany, France, and United Kingdom have international migrants as more than 10 percent of total population (UN, 2013). In 2013, the number of international migrants reached an all-time high rate of 232 million which, at the same time, raises the higher possibility of diverse conflicts between the immigrants and the natives (ibid, 2013). The term, immigration, has been applied to situations where a person moves to a different country for the purpose of permanent stay (Anon., 2012).Considering aforementioned facts, it can be easily recognized that the issue of immigration is not something only for particular countries but for a wider range of countries that needs to be dealt with…

    In order to understand the resettlement and adaption of immigrants in a host country, it is critical to examine all aspects of an immigrant migration path. In light of this phenomenon is significant to understand this process through the lens of three stages of migration: premigration and departure, transit, and resettlement. Theses stages can serve as an ongoing frame of reference for evaluation and comparing their current experience in the host country. “The stage of migration framework provides a context for understating and helping immigrants families and…

    First with the guestworker policies that were implemented directly after World War II, and then with the terms of the Schengen Agreement from 1990 onwards. Besides for the common economic depressions, and the severe wealth gap we are seeing in the world today, Europe has seen economic growth during this period of liberal immigration policy. Not only have these immigrants contributed to Europe’s economic expansion, but also they have contributed to Europe’s own transformation into a melting pot of culture. Much like the United Provinces of old, Europe is a global trade center, where there is an abundance of goods and services from around the world.…

    Despite the word “Migrant” was generally perceived as being the most neutral term without any negative implication, the way it was perceived had been altered due to the way the government officials particularly David Cameron and other controversial British writers such as Katie Hopkin, who had depicted migrants as threat that drain on resources.…

    In the UK, the want to leave the EU for fear of economic crisis from being a member of the EU and the increase in Eastern European migrants which appear to be ‘stealing jobs’ from British nationals have seen the surge of the UK Independence Party. Other fears rising from the 9/11 and 7/7 attacks are a factor for this party’s success. In France, the correlation between spiralling unemployment and an increase of immigration fuels the radical right wing party Front National. Adding in the increase of Muslim migrants, which voters see as a threat to French culture and to their safety, after terror attacks on the West and in Paris itself. In Sweden the support for the Sweden Democrats is not as strong as it is in the UK and France, but with the Stockholm riots and terror attacks, immigrants are given a bad image and with a large influx of Syrian refugees the support for the party has…

    No good can come from allowing a mass wave of illegal immigrants to cross the European borders without proper identification and cause. It is alarming that the people in charge are complacent to the fact that immigrants are taking over portions of their countries meanwhile putting their own people in danger. In Germany, the officials are displacing citizens to make room for refugees. In his article, “Germany: Migrants In, Germans Out,” Soeren Kern, a senior analyst at the Gatestone Institute reports, “A single mother with two children has been given until August 2016 to move out of her apartment to make room for migrants” (16). It is unjust for the government to shelter immigrants at the expense of their own people.…

    There is much difficulty when trying to understand as well as explain the term/ idea that is Social exclusion, as writers/institutions have varying degrees (and at times conflicting ideas) of what “social exclusion” is, who it includes or rather excludes and why some people become socially excluded from the wider society, whether it be through levels of human agency, the impact of institutions and or changes in legislation.

    With the number of immigrants seeking shelter constantly increasing, especially of those fleeing from the Syrian civil war, Europe is confronted with two opposing sides. While one side supports the idea of opening the borders and welcoming asylum seekers, the other argues otherwise. Some groups and parties are campaigning against accepting more immigrants. Germany, with its refugee-friendly policies, currently provides shelter for more than a million refugees. Since the number is so huge, there have been movements voicing objection to refugee-friendly policies.…
