The 2022 World Cup As a Global Stage to Discuss Labor Migrant Rights A GAME CHANGER? THE 2022 WORLD CUP AS A GLOBAL STAGE TO DISCUSS LABOR MIGRANT RIGHTS Amédé Schmitz 0143422932 University of Helsinki Faculty of Social Science Sociology Master’s thesis May 2015 Abstract The 2022 World Cup in Qatar has already generated extensive media attention prior to the event. Migrant workers at construction sites connected to the staging of the football championship are at the center of this attention: various actors criticize the working conditions of migrant workers and call for more rights for labor migrants. This discourse represents a global problem, depicting the vulnerable situations for many migrants in the country of destination. The host countries often neglect rights of migrant workers, while the country of origin has only limited power to protect their workers abroad. But how and by whom, then, are migrant workers protected if neither by the residing country nor by the country of origin? Based on the discourse about the rights of migrant workers in Qatar ahead of the 2022 World Cup, this study analyzes how different actors negotiate the rights of migrant workers in times where there are yet no clearly institutionalized frameworks that adequately protect migrants. In order to reveal the discourse participants and subsequent analyze their claims, this research applies a unique combination of media analysis and document analysis. Through the theoretical framework of Sassen’s concept of studying globalization (2003) and Fraser’s theory of abnormal justice disputes (2008), the research analyzes ten reports of various state and non-state, national and international actors that engage in the discourse about rights of migrant workers. As the results show, the discourse participants identify Qatar’s legislations as the most powerful framework to protect migrant workers. While too weak to actually enforce rights, the international human and labor rights system nevertheless acts as a guideline for national legislations. Moreover, beyond the national governance (in form of a government) and the international governance (in form international organizations and NGOs), the discourse as such provides an abstract form of governance. Aside from these results, the study furthermore contributes to the methodological discussion about how to frame and scrutinize a discourse about a complex and divers topics, such as rights of migrant workers, and further develops the theoretical debate about justice claims in a globalized world.

  • Societal Insecurity Is Because of Demographic Issues
    SEEING SECURITY: SOCIETAL SECURITIZATION IN QATAR A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government By Jennifer Carol Heeg, M.A. Washington, D.C. March 2, 2010 Copyright 2010 by Jennifer Carol Heeg All Rights Reserved i SEEING SECURITY: SOCIETAL SECURITIZATION IN THE GULF Jennifer Carol Heeg, M.A. Dissertation Advisor: Anthony Clark Arend, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation applies securitization theory to Qatari society, and develops a new regime type, the ―laissez faire autocracy.‖ Qatari society is securitized against the constructed threats of Western influence and South Asian migrant labor. Four advances to securitization theory are made in this non-Western, non-democratic context. First, this project deconstructs Western-centric notions of ―strong‖ and ―weak‖ states in the context of securitization. Second, securitization theory‘s privileging of the speech-act is subsumed into a larger discussion of action, because in states without full freedom of speech, actions often do speak louder than words. Third, the case study is an example of institutionalized securitization, because rigid ethnic/tribal conceptions of ―Qatari society‖ have led to a politics of exclusion with regards to migration and outside influence. Fourth and finally, securitization theory‘s focus on decision-making and audience is called into question; the power of decision-making is purposely vague in a laissez faire autocracy, and securitization is highly intersubjective. At a policy level, an understanding of society in Qatar as securitized, and informing the perceptions of migrant labor and Western ideas as the major security threats in the Gulf region, should inform policy alternatives for Gulf states and Western democracies.

Jean Comaroff and Steve Caton Ian Vincent McGonigle Genomic Citizenship: Peoplehood and State in Israel and Qatar Abstract This dissertation describes basic genetic research and biobanking of ethnic populations in Israel and Qatar. I track how biomedical research on ethnic populations relates to the political, economic, legal, and historical context of the states; to global trends in genetic medicine; and to the politics of identity in the context of global biomedical research. I describe the ways biology is becoming a site for negotiating identity in ethnic genetics, in discourse over rights to citizenship, in rare disease genetics, and in personalized medicine. The core focus of this work is the way the molecular realm is an emergent site for articulations of ethnonational identities in the contemporary Middle East.

  • Social Exclusion and Migration: a Case Study of Caste in Nepal
    Social Exclusion and Migration: A Case Study of Caste in Nepal By Prem Bhandari1 Nathalie Williams2 Loritta Chan2 Linda Young-DeMarco1 Cathy Sun1 1University of Michigan 2University of Washington September 9, 2016 1 Social Exclusion and Migration: A Case Study of Caste in Nepal Abstract We investigate if and how social exclusion influences out-migration and the choice of migration destinations. While literature has shown that migration can increase the social and economic status of individuals and their families, it is unclear if socially excluded groups have equal access to migration, and particularly migration to premier destinations. We argue that individuals from socially excluded groups will be less likely to migrate in general, but when they do, there will be no difference in their migration to destinations where the same patterns of social exclusion are not practiced. We use the detailed longitudinal data from a migrant sending setting in Nepal to test these arguments. Using the multinomial logistic regression event history modeling, we find that individuals from socially excluded caste/ethnic groups are less likely to migrate. However, when social and economic capitals are controlled, they are no more or less likely to migrate to premier destinations. This suggests that migration might begin to serve as a levelling factor of caste/ethnic-related social exclusion in Nepal. Key words: caste, ethnicity, destination, migration, disadvantaged, rural, Nepal, South Asia, social exclusion 2 Introduction Social exclusion is a major social problem. Exclusion from full participation in society, in terms of rights, opportunities, and resources (including access to housing, employment, community relationships, civic engagement, safety, and due process) is a key concern in almost all, if not all countries in the world.

  • Model Arab League
    Samuel Adelson, May 2013 Model Arab League Annotated Bibliography for Qatar ncusar.org/modelarableague Model Arab League Research Resources: Qatar Page 1 Samuel Adelson, May 2013 This annotated bibliography was created to serve as a research resource for students taking part in the National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations’ Model Arab League Program. With the understanding that research can be intimidating and time consuming, an effort was made to find a set of scholarly articles that give a detailed background and thorough account of the current situation for this League of Arab States member. Included are annotations designed to give a description of the source with the intention of students completing the research on their own. There has been an attempt to focus on more contemporary scholarship, specifically post- 9/11 and post-2011 (so-called “Arab Spring”) where possible, as these are two phenomena that fundamentally changed politics in the Arab world. These sources should provide students with a solid basis for understanding the country they are representing in both regionally and globally significant issues as well as the interests of other countries within the League of Arab States. 1.

Bahrain),” The American Journal of International Law, Volume 96, Number 1 January 2002, pp. 198-210. •• For those students interested in international law, this article gives a thorough account of a territorial dispute between Bahrain and Qatar. Readers are given insight into the arguments presented, technical language, and eventual settlement of this case, and gain an understanding of the workings of a multilateral organization like the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

Foreign investment is generally limited to 49 percent of the capital for most business activities, with a Qatari partner(s) holding at least 51 percent. However, the law allows, upon special government approval, up to 100 percent ownership by foreign investors in certain sectors, including: agriculture, industry, health, education, tourism, development and exploitation of natural resources, energy, or mining. Qatar amended the law in 2004 to allow foreign investment in the banking and insurance sectors upon approval of the Cabinet of Ministers.
