  • Béatrice Knerr (Ed.) Transfers from International Migration
    U_IntLabMig8_neu_druck 17.12.12 08:19 Seite 1 8 Béatrice Knerr (Ed.) Over the early 21st century the number of those living in countries in which they were not born has strongly expanded. They became international mi- grants because they hope for jobs, livelihood security, political freedom, or a safe haven. Yet, while the number of those trying to settle in richer coun- tries is increasing, entry hurdles mount up, and host countries become more selective. While low-skilled migrants meet rejection, highly qualified are welcome. All this hold significant implications for the countries and families the migrants come from, even more so as most of them keep close relations to their origin, and many return after a longer or shorter period of time. Some settle down comfortably, others struggle each day. Some return to their home country, others stay for good.

In any case, most of these international migrants are – explicitly or not–involved in various stabilization strategies, be it by house- hold/family agreements, government efforts to attract valuable human capital, or sheer expectations by different actors.

  • FEBRUARY 2015 ISSUE 21 Dear Readers, Welcome to Issue 21 Of
    FEBRUARY 2015 ISSUE 21 Dear Readers, Welcome to issue 21 of the Think Tank Review compiled by the EU Council Library*. It references papers published in January 2015. As usual, we provide the link to the full text and a short abstract. This month's Review marks two years since we started this project. The TTR began as a quick tour through the websites of a handful of think tanks in EU affairs, in order to provide Council staff with a product more structured than the occasional, and often over-looked, e-mail alert from the library. It gained ground by word of mouth, encouraging us to enlarge the range of think tanks we monitor, finding valuable sources outside Brussels and networking with fellow information specialists in EU institutions and elsewhere. To celebrate the anniversary, we look back to our virtual shelves: the Special Focus this month puts side-by-side recent publications and papers on the same subjects from early 2013. The picture that emerges, from the crisis to Euromaidan, from the Arab Spring to Brexit, is one of persistent challenges but also incremental progress, painstakingly achieved through negotiation by the EU institutions and Member States, in what some scholars now call 'deliberative intergovernmentalism'. The library team takes some pride in contributing to feed this process with diverse sources and ideas. Further in this issue, as typical at this time of the year, various organizations set out global scenarios for 2015: notably the German Marshall Fund, CIDOB, ECFR, EUISS, FRIDE; but we also found a survey of expectations for 2025 held by French and German businesspeople.

  • Mobile EU Citizens and the Law
    Mobile EU citizens and the law: A socio-legal study of Italians’ adaptation to Sweden’s legal environment Carlo Nicoli Aldini Lund University Sociology of Law Department Master Thesis (SOLM02) Spring 2021 Supervisor: Rustamjon Urinboyev Examiner: Peter Scharff Smith ABSTRACT When they migrate to another Member State (MS), EU citizens must adjust to a country whose legal environment is composed of both national laws and EU laws. Additionally, mobile EU citizens have their own legal culture which crafts the way they make sense of mundane circumstances and social interactions. What comes out of the mutual interplay between the host MS’s legal environment and mobile EU citizens’ legal culture? How does EU citizens’ legal culture emerge, and change, through their mundane interactions in the host MS? Drawing on semi- structured interviews with 16 Italians who live in Sweden, this thesis tackles these questions from a socio-legal standpoint. In particular, this thesis suggests that Italians who live in Sweden interact in mundane circumstances using cultural schemas that derive from both their European legal culture and their Italian legal culture. Over time, they also internalize traits of Swedish legal culture that give them new cultural sources to use in their social interactions. By recursively using cultural schemas deriving from EU, Italian, and Swedish law, Italians who live in Sweden thus contribute to the material definition of the real meanings of these three laws. Theoretically, this thesis contributes to existing socio-legal scholarly debates surrounding legal consciousness and legal culture, with a particular focus on the EU context. Keywords: European Union, mobile EU citizens, legal culture, legal consciousness, interlegality ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The first acknowledgment must go to the 16 participants to this project, who took time out of their lives to share their thoughts and experiences as Italians who live in Sweden.

In fact, the portability of social security is a central factor in enabling and guaranteeing free movement between mobility-sending countries and mobility-receiving countries and thus contributes to the realization of a European labour market. Portability of social security rights involves the recognition and transfer of entitlements, which, rather than being a straightforward process, creates barriers for mobile EU citizens who are required to meet complex regulatory and institutional conditions. The goal of the TRANSWEL project was to analyse the portability of social security rights with regard to its regulations, practices and limitations by comparing patterns of post-enlargement labour mobility between four EU country pairs: Hungary–Austria, Bulgaria–Germany, Poland–United Kingdom and Estonia–Sweden. Focusing on the transitional state of Bulgaria and the conservative welfare state of Germany, this paper presents an analysis of institutional regulations with respect to the portability of social security rights in four areas: unemployment, family-related rights, healthcare and pensions.

  • The Germans in Dobrudscha
    The Germans in Dobrudscha While doing some research on the history of the southeast corner of Romania known in the German language as Dobrudscha, I discovered that there was a book written back in 1922 that dealt with this specific topic. The book, by Paul Traeger, is titled: Die Deutschen in der Dobrudscha. Since I was having a difficult time finding a book written in English about the subject I was interested in, I thought I would take the time and try to translate this German book into English so that others, who might have a German heritage going back to Dobrudscha but have little or no knowledge of the German language, can have the opportunity to read something about the history of their German ancestors who lived in Dobrudscha at one time. Some years ago, I had taken on the challenge of translating another German book which dealt with the history of a village in Bessarabia, so I am well aware of how much time this can take. I was a lot younger when that first book was translated. I am facing a dilemma. This book has 248 pages of material. Now, at my present age, the clock is slowly winding down and how much more time is left for me to get the translation of this book done is questionable. If I wait to make public the translation only after all 248 pages are translated, I may not get it finished before the Lord Jesus calls me to my eternal rest. Then, as often happens, the next generation may not discover the unfinished work, pitching or deleting it, and all was done in vain.
