International migration has acquired greater prominence in border regions of Russia where it become related to inter-ethnic relations.

International migration and integration are among the most important and controversial public policy issues of our time. The disconnect between migration policy debates and migration realities has prompted a quest for more ‘evidence-based’ debates and policy-making. This introductory chapter gives the background and explains the rationale, aims, and key contributions of the book Bridging the Gaps: Linking Research to Public Debates and Policy-Making on International Migration and Integration. It provides a basic conceptual framework for the theoretical and empirical analysis in the subsequent chapters, focusing on the triangular relationships between research, public debates, and policy-making. The chapter also includes an overview of the key insights and arguments of the theoretical reflections, case studies, and policy analyses in the book.

Este trabajo propone una distinción analítica entre derecho y política migratoria dentro del contexto de la migración México- Estados Unidos y analiza la visión dominante de las políticas migratorias que enfatizan la seguridad y la soberanía. Sobre esta base, se examina el derecho que enmarca las políticas migratorias de dos entidades federativas en México: Guanajuato y Sonora. Las diferencias entre éstas dependen de la realidad social de las migraciones transcurridas en cada territorio estatal, pero además obedecen a rupturas en los enfoques jurídico-políticos bajo los que se diseñan las estrategias migratorias en México; de estas entidades, una por lo menos, lanza un reto a la manera tradicional de atender la migración internacional. El trabajo concluye con planteamientos que intentan marcar sendas para continuar los estudios de política y derecho migratorio.Abstract: This work proposes an analytical distinction between law and migration policy in the context of Mexico-USA and analyses the prevailing approach about migration policies that emphasize the security and sovereignty. On this basis, we examine the law that frames the migration policies of two states in Mexico: Guanajuato and Sonora. The differences between them, depends on the social reality of migrations that occur in each state territory, but also them are due to breaks in the legal and political approaches that are designed under the migration policies in Mexico and at least one of them launches a challenge to the traditional way of understanding international migration. The paper closes with conclusions that try to outline ways to further research and studies about migration law and migration policy.Résumé : Cet article propose une distinction analytique entre le droit et la politique migratoire dans le contexte de la migration du Mexique vers les États-Unis et analyse l’approche dominante des politiques migratoires qui mettent l’accent sur la sécurité et la souveraineté. Sur cette base, nous examinons la normativité qui encadre les politiques migratoires de deux états mexicains : Guanajuato et Sonora. La différence entre les deux situations dépend de la réalité sociale des migrations qui se produisent dans chacun de ces états mais découle aussi de ruptures dans les approches juridiques et politiques conçues dans le cadre des politiques migratoires au Mexique. Un de ces états lance d’ailleurs un défi à la façon traditionnelle d’aborder les migrations internationales. Le document se termine par des conclusions qui tentent d’esquisser des pistes pour la poursuite des études sur le droit et les politiques migratoires.

Finding Migration Female Female Migration So far gender has not been an important issue in the research agenda and migration policy. Recently this new female 'has been discovered' and increasingly the term feminization migration is used to see this 'new' phenomenon public debate about an increase in international migration in general and cheap between international migration and special development has led to the realization It is also a female migrant or an important development agent. However, discussion on the migration of women and women migrants as agents of disease development some shortcomings, issues related to the policy of the debate. that the main withdrawal is women migrants almost exclusively as new targets groups to begin the development process in the sending country but without their taste as active change agents Thus the current debate contributes to the well-known female stereotypical image reproduction. From the victims of the global economic restructuring and thus, the vulnerable groups among the poor migrant growth flows from the global South, to the perpetrators responsible for the development process in their home country.

The gap between scientific insights and societal perceptions of international migration is large. It stems, at least in part, from the complexity of the matter and the fears raised by the unknown. This chapter reflects upon these issues against the background of post-World War II migration and migration policy in Germany. It argues that providing robust evidence is not enough for a policy adviser to succeed. Patience, persistent argumentation, and the propagation of successful migrant role models seem to be of key importance to influencing public debates and policy-making on migration and integration. A ‘jobs approach’ that integrates both migrants and refugees early into the labour force could make a difference. Germany, while stumbling slowly on its path, has still a chance to find a proper balance between observing humanitarian migration and following economic needs.

Although the migration – development nexus is widely recognized as a complex one, it is generally thought that there is a relationship between poverty and emigration, and that remittances lessen inequality. On the basis of Latin American and Mexican data, this chapter intends to show that for Mexico, the exchange of migrants for remittances is among the lowest in Latin America, that extreme poor Mexicans don't migrate although the moderately poor do, that remittances have a small, non-significant impact on the most widely used inequality index of all households and a very large one on the inequality index of remittance-receiving households, and finally that, to Mexican households, the opportunity cost of international migration is higher than remittance income. In summary, there is a relationship between poverty and migration (and vice versa), but this relationship is far from linear, and in some respects may be a perverse one for Mexico and for Mexican households.

Russia encompasses the world’s second-largest migrant population in absolute numbers. This chapter explores the role migrants play in contemporary Russian identity discourse, focusing on the topic that ordinary Muscovites identified as most important during the 2013 Moscow mayoral election campaign: the large number of labour migrants in the capital. It explores how the decision to open up the elections into a more genuine contest compelled the regime candidate, incumbent mayor Sergei Sobianin, to adopt a more aggressive rhetoric on migration than otherwise officially endorsed by the Kremlin. The chapter concludes that the Moscow electoral experiment, allowing other candidates than the regime’s own hand-picked, ‘controllable’ sparring partners to run, contributed to pushing the borders of what mainstream politicians saw as acceptable positions on migrants and migration policy.


This volume highlights the challenges of contemporary policymaking and scholarship on high-skilled migration. Both areas often focus rather narrowly on migration policy without considering systematically and rigorously other economic, social, and political drivers of migration. These structural drivers are often equally or sometimes even more important than migration policies per se. To be successful in recruiting on the global skill market, countries have to implement coherent whole-of-government immigration policy packages which are to be embedded in a country’s broader economic, social, and political structures and the broader context of international migration processes and dynamics. Societies and economies that are able to create a welcoming environment for people, attractive professional conditions for workers, and a business climate for employers are likely to succeed in attracting and recruiting skilled workers that are in demand. The chapter concludes with some proposals aimed at improving the efficiency of the global skill market.
