In responding to the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants of September 2016, the Compact is expected to advance a framework for international cooperation on migration governance to address migration’s current challenges in an encompassing and coherent way. Building on an ambitious process of consultations at national, regional and international levels, the Compact will reflect the positions of Member States, including by drawing on the expertise of academics, practitioners and intergovernmental organizations and the perspectives of other stakeholders, such as the private sector. The preparations are therefore a unique opportunity to propose innovative ideas for international cooperation in migration governance that respond to the complex realities of migration. Grounding the Compact in existing knowledge and evidence will be critical in developing effective and sustainable policy responses. In fulfilling its obligation to jointly service the preparations for the global compact, IOM extends its policy and technical expertise on migration to the consultative process. To support this work in a practical and effective way, the Migration Research Leaders’ Syndicate was convened. The Syndicate consists of a group of thirty-six leading scholars in migration and nine advisers with vast experience in bridging policy and research, whether as senior non-migration scholars, former policymakers or prominent practitioners engaged in the dialogue between research and policy. Bringing together experts from all over the world, the Syndicate was designed to enrichen the preparations of the global compact on migration with insights from a range of disciplines, comparative perspectives and a wealth of evidence and rigorous analysis. In other words, IOM has created a framework and space to enable Syndicate members to provide the global compact on migration process with the latest thinking in academic and applied research to inform intergovernmental negotiations. Following IOM’s invitation to contribute to this initiative, a group of Syndicate members and advisers jointly discussed ideas on a range of issues in a workshop that took place in September 2017 in Geneva. The insights compiled in this volume are contributions that can assist in designing practical, evidence-based and innovative solutions for migration governance at a global level, as well as hopefully avoid negative unintended consequences.

  • Arab-African Migrant Literature a Dissertation
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Clandestine Mediterranean: Arab-African Migrant Literature A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature by Nahrain Al-Mousawi 2012 © Copyright by Nahrain Al-Mousawi 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Clandestine Mediterranean: Arab-African Migrant Literature by Nahrain Al-Mousawi Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature University of California, Los Angeles, 2012 Professor Saree Makdisi, Chair Professor Gil Hochberg, Chair Clandestine migration from North Africa across the Mediterranean has been explored widely as a topic in the fields of social science in the past decade, but representations of undocumented migration in literature have not been subject to significant attention and analysis. Moreover, in comparison to French, Italian, or Spanish literature, Arabic clandestine migrant literature has barely been subject to recognition or discussion. Even though this dissertation includes some Anglophone literature, by and large, its main attention to Arabic literature addresses the dearth in scholarship on contemporary Arabic literary representations of clandestine migration from Egypt and Morocco, as well as trans-migration from sub-Saharan Africa. My analysis of literature charting journeys from the Mediterranean’s southern shores and rendering clandestine existence in the global North attempts to contribute to not only the discourse on migration literature but on conceptualizations of the Mediterranean as both a dividing border and unifying contact zone, ii especially vital to the contemporary recurrence of the study of seas and particularly the Mediterranean. My discussion encompasses Arabic literature by Moroccan author Rachid Nini and Egyptian author Khaled Al-Khameesy, as well as Anglophone literature by Moroccan- American author Laila Lalami and Nigerian-American author Sefi Atta.

  • Migration Without Borders: North Africa As a Reserve of Cheap Labour for Europe
    SHS/2005/MWB/7 Migration Without Borders: North Africa as a Reserve of Cheap Labour for Europe Ayman Zohry ─ Draft Article of the Migration Without Borders Series 19 January 2005 UNESCO SHS/2005/MWB/7 Migration without borders: North Africa as a reserve of cheap labour for Europe by Ayman Zohry 1. INTRODUCTION Migration without borders is not a hypothetical scenario. Except for the last century, migration was without physical borders, and the movements of individuals from one place to another were not restricted by national or regional borders, visa systems, or national security fears. For example "if any one had suggested in, say, 1910, that migration was an unusual phenomenon, they would have been regarded by any knowledgeable person with astonishment" (Harris, 2004: 1). In the past, migration was restricted by other kinds of borders such as the lack of information, weakness of migration networks, natural hazards, tribal systems, and the primitive means of transportation. In the era of globalization, information technology, abundance of knowledge and information, increasing terrorism threats, the rise of national identities and the claimed clash of civilizations, migration became a major political issue. Developed countries regard migration as a threatening factor that affects their sovereignty and national identities, while developed countries regard it as a possible escape from their political, economic, and social and overpopulation problems. This paper examines the scenario of migration without borders and the relationship between countries in the southern and the northern shores of the Mediterranean, Southern and Western Europe and North African countries. The demographic changes in Europe, where the population of countries such as Spain and Italy would actually be declining if it was not for migration, force European countries to find ways for maintaining economic growth and labour demands.

  • The Egyptian Diaspora in the United States
    RAD Diaspora Profile Prepared for the Rockefeller Foundation-Aspen Institute Diaspora Program (RAD) The Egyptian Diaspora in the United States May 2015 Revised Summary1 Approximately 248,000 Egyptian immigrants and their children (the first and second gen- erations) were living in the United States as of 2013. People of Egyptian birth comprise less than 1 percent of the U.S. foreign-born population, making it one of the country’s smallest national-origin groups and the second-smallest population in the Rockefeller Foundation- Aspen Institute Diaspora Program (RAD) analysis.2 Nevertheless, it is a rapidly growing population. The recent growth in the Egyptian immigrant population in the United States is largely attributable to the opportunities that the Diversity Visa Program provides to histori- cally underrepresented populations, while economic and security-related factors may be intensifying emigration from Egypt. This population’s high educational attainment sets it apart from the U.S. general population, as does its income inequality. While about one in six Egyptian diaspora households have incomes that exceed $140,000 (the threshold for the top 10 percent of all U.S. households), another 23 percent live below the federal poverty level. Egyptian immigrants are dispersed DIASPORAthroughout the United States, and New York City and Los Angeles are its main population hubs. California has the greatest number of Egyptian immigrant residents of any U.S. state. Considering the small size of the diaspora in the United States, Egyptian diaspora organiza- tions are relatively abundant. Of the 42 U.S.-based Egyptian diaspora organizations identi- fied for this study, many advocate for political or human rights, provide medical care, or represent the Coptic community (a Christian denomination in Egypt).

  • Newsletter October 2005
    newsletter October 2005 DIRECTOR’S NOTE Welcome to this fourth Migration DRC newsletter, which aims to review the work of the Development Research Centre on Migration, Globalisation and Poverty over the period April-September 2005. The last six months have been important ones for international debates over migration and development, with the publication of an EU communication on the topic, and the launch of public consultation on the UK government managed migration policy. The Migration DRC has sought to engage with these and other debates on migration, as well as advancing the research evidence base from which sound policies can be developed. We hope you find something of interest in this newsletter, and welcome discussion about our research, training and capacity- building activities, whether completed or on-going. If you would like to respond to any of the points raised, please email us at [email protected]. Richard Black DRC HIGHLIGHTS that synthesised preliminary findings from the DRC researchers working in Bangladesh, Brazil, Burkina Faso, India and Ghana (draft papers from the Oslo conference will shortly become Children’s Autonomous Migration available on our website at www.migrationdrc.org/news/ drc_reports.html).

Those questions are the reason I chose to write on Egyptian emigration, so I thank every inquisitive family member, acquaintance and passer-by for making me question a decision I thought entirely natural. For this work, I would first like to thank my advisor, Dr. Ray Jureidini, for his guidance and support, which began long before the start of my thesis work, and has enriched both this thesis and my graduate experience as a whole.

  • Continental Forum on the Role of the Diaspora in Higher Education, Research, and Innovation in Africa
    Citizens & Diaspora Directorate (CIDO Continental Forum on the Role of the Diaspora in Higher Education, Research, and Innovation in Africa FORUM PROCEEDINGS www.diasporaforum2019.com New Conference Centre, African Union Headquarters Addis Ababa, Ethiopia November 13-14, 2019 Prepared by Dr. L. Pauline Rankin and Dr. Samuel Ojo Oloruntoba, Carleton University This report is based on Forum rapporteur reports and speakers’ presentations. We thank all participants and moderators for allowing us to use their presentations. This project was made possible by a grant from Carnegie Corporation of New York. ABOUT THE FORUM This Forum was conceptualized to provide operational follow-up to the Dakar Summit of 2015 from the specific perspective of African diaspora engagement. Cognizant of the challenges higher education across Africa has been subjected to since independence, (including low enrolment and access rates; the capacity to produce globally competitive graduates and research outputs consonant with the imperatives and dynamics of contemporary global knowledge; curricular stagnation; and the brain drain occasioned by the neoliberal onslaught of the 1980s) the African Union Commission (AU) developed a comprehensive ten-year Continental Education Strategy for Africa for the period 2016-2025 (CESA 16-25). This strategy is designed to create a new African citizen who will be an effective change agent for the continent’s sustainable development as envisioned by the African Union and Agenda 2063. Represented at the Forum were participants from relevant stakeholder groups, including the African Union Commission, AU member state focal agencies for the diaspora and education, government ministries and officials, African diaspora program administrators, university academic leaders, strategic partners including the Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA), the Pan-African Doctoral Academy (PADA), the Pan African University (PAU), the Association of African Universities (AAU), and funders.
