Jandl V8U 1..155 IMISCOE jandl This book is directed at researchers and policymakers at all levels and is intended to REPORTS stimulate fresh thinking for the development of unconventional and innovative ideas for migration policymaking. The papers in this edited volume are the results of a joint ( ed. ICMPD/IMISCOE workshop on Innovative Concepts for Alternative Migration ) Policies, held at the International Centre for Migration Policy Development in Vienna in 2006, with the participation of migration researchers, policymakers and Concepts Innovative for Alternative Migration Policies representatives of international organisations. Based on the strengths of the combined Innovative Concepts for ideas presented by the authors of these ten short papers, eight basic principles for the design of innovative migration policy approaches are presented and developed. Alternative Migration Michael Jandl is Senior Research Officer at the International Centre for Migration Policy Development in Vienna. Born in Graz, Austria, in 1970, he holds a Masters Degree in Economics from the University of Graz, a Master of Public Administration from Harvard University and a PhD in Political Science from the University of Vienna.

The contributors are all experts in their the st Century fields who offer stimulating proposals for better ideas to control immigration to welfare states in Europe.” Leo Lucassen, Leiden University and University of Amsterdam michael jandl (ed.) “These ten papers stimulate new policy thinking and rethinking. They succeed in pushing forward the analysis of managing new migration.” Philip Martin, University of California, Davis “I congratulate the editor for this innovative approach indeed. If the purpose of this book is to start discussions on new policy options it certainly will reach its goal.

These researchers, who come from all branches of the economic and social sciences, the huma- nities and law, implement an integrated, multidisciplinary and interna- tionally comparative research programme that focuses on Europe’s mi- gration and integration challenges. Within the programme, existing research is integrated and new re- search lines are developed to address issues crucial to European-level policymaking and provide a theory-based design to implement new re- search. The publication programme of IMISCOE is based on five distinct publica- tion profiles, designed to make its research and results available to scientists, policymakers and the public at large. High-quality manu- scripts written by – or in cooperation with – IMISCOE members are pub- lished in these five series. An editorial committee coordinates the re- view process of the manuscripts. The five series are: 1. Joint Studies 2. Research 3. Dissertations 4. Reports 5. Textbooks More information on the network can be found at www.imiscoe.org. IMISCOE Reports includes publications resulting from research of IMISCOE members, such as research monographs and edited volumes.

Yet, new ideas for regulating regular migration, dealing with irregular migration and providing international protection to those in need of it remain elusive and untested. While several innovative con- cepts have been suggested over the past few years – such as the ‘People Flow’ approach spearheaded by Theo Veenkamp, the ‘Migration Tax’ proposal by Jagdhish Baghwati or the ‘Auctioning of work permits’ sug- gested by Thomas Straubhaar – there is no serious discussion of these either at the policy level or among migration researchers. To address this yawning gap between the daily realities of migration events, shaping the policy agendas of governments around the world – and the analytical world of migration researchers concerned with scien- tific description and explanation rather than prescription

  • Big Dog Days by Hannah Nussbaum
    It was the penultimate night of August and I was ready for anything, dressed in a gauzy PG-13 outfit, standing on the patio of a soft-boiled party filled with talking backs and healthy-looking pink mouths. Things were just starting to get boisterous and someone standing near me was vaporizing chartreuse liquor, and wisps of green gas were wafting around the patio like little souls on their way to the underworld. I sipped and shuffled, posed and pouted, eyes on a platter of finger food balanced on the bar. Eventually I was approached by a beautiful boy with big rubber shoes and a blue hood pulled tightly around his ears. He introduced himself and complimented my look and soon we were talking about the beach, which was all anybody talked about those days—the liminal state of affairs down there, the big weird question mark stamped on our city. The beach in our city had once been a normal, generic beach, you know the kind, with sand, surf and all the regular seaside fixings. Then one summer the entire coast had been purchased by either an asset management company or a real estate investment trust—it wasn’t clear which—and what happened next was a series of ownership changes, financing issues, construction delays, legal challenges and chronically delayed re-opening dates. The beach changed hands several times and some scaffolding was erected around it while the project plans were being ironed out. We were told that the 587 acres of coastal wetlands were supposed to be renovated into 2.1 million square feet of beachfront space and 1 million square feet of to-be-determined on a 206-acre tract, with the remainder to be converted into stormwater retention basins.

We are grappling with a slew of converging crises, most of which are the direct result of human activity and the ‘religion’ of ‘Growth and Development’ that we have embraced in the past 250 years of industrialisation. Climate change, natural resource depletion, species extinction, environmental degradation, population pressure and human conflict resulting in large scale refugee crises are some of the problems we have to contend with. Some of these, like climate change, are reaching tipping points beyond which changes become irreversible. Humans are the only species on earth that have had such a massive direct impact on the environment in which we live, by virtue of the tools and technologies that we have developed, in the process of the ‘development’ of our ‘civilization’.

  • Peak Oil and the Everyday Complexity of Human Progress Narratives
    Peak Oil and the Everyday Complexity of Human Progress Narratives John C. Pruit University of Missouri The “big” story of human progress has polarizing tendencies featuring the binary options of progress or decline. I consider human progress narratives in the context of everyday life. Analysis of the “little” stories from two narrative environments focusing on peak oil offers a more complex picture of the meaning and contours of the narrative. I consider the impact of differential blog site commitments to peak oil perspectives and identify five narrative types culled from two narrative dimensions. I argue that the lived experience complicates human progress narratives, which is no longer an either/or proposition This is going to be an environmental disaster of unprecedented proportions and the only thing that people seem to really care about is keeping the Mississippi open to shipping traffic so that BAU [business as usual] can continue. I weep for the wetlands and what their loss will mean. “FMagyar” April 30, 2010 What's the worst the doomers can moan about now? An oil spill (not even a big one by historical standards) and a bit of toxic mess in Canada. Woo, I'm so scared! Come on doomers, you can do better than this! :) “Mr Potato Head” July 9, 2010 Oil and oil-related events such as the 2010 BP spill in the Gulf of Mexico are part of the story of human progress and important to how people story their own lives. Oil powers lifestyles and plays a role in everything from transportation to food production.

    Future Scenarios - Full Text file:///D:/mis%20archivos/TIERRAMOR/Materiales%20Permacultura... Introduction The simultaneous onset of climate change and the peaking of global oil supply represent unprecedented challenges for human civilisation. Global oil peak has the potential to shake if not destroy the foundations of global industrial economy and culture. Climate change has the potential to rearrange the biosphere more radically than the last ice age. Each limits the effective options for responses to the other. The strategies for mitigating the adverse effects and/or adapting to the consequences of Climate Change have mostly been considered and discussed in isolation from those relevant to Peak Oil. While awareness of Peak Oil, or at least energy crisis, is increasing, understanding of how these two problems might interact to generate quite different futures, is still at an early state. FutureScenarios.org presents an integrated approach to understanding the potential interaction between Climate Change and Peak Oil using a scenario planning model. In the process I introduce permaculture as a design system specifically evolved over the last 30 years to creatively respond to futures that involve progressively less and less available energy. – David Holmgren, co-originator of the permaculture concept.

  • Critical Reflections on Claar and Forster's the Keynesian Revolution and Our Empty Economy
    Faith & Economics • Number 75 • Spring 2020 • Pages 51–68 Critical Reflections on Claar and Forster’s The Keynesian Revolution and Our Empty Economy Jamin Andreas Hübner* Western Dakota Technical Institute The University of the People LCC International University Introduction “Practical men who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist.” – John M. Keynes hese words of Lord Keynes could not be more true than they are today. In fact, Victor Claar and Greg Forster demonstrate in The TKeynesian Revolution and Our Empty Economy: We’re All Dead (henceforth KREE) that the words are true not just for Keynes him- self and for “practical [people],” but for economic intellectuals who have been uncritically influenced by Keynes. In this essay, however, I want to push this idea of uncritical, intel- lectual influence back towards the book itself. While I came to KREE as a dual-career theologian and economist, there ended up being less to reflect on within these areas and more to reflect on with regards to intellectual history and authorial perspective. There was plenty to com- mend. The book’s topic is timely and important, and I was particularly edified by (a) the initial discussion about the delusion of economics being an ethically “neutral” discipline, and (b) how Keynesian anthro- pology, especially paired with overt central planning, is a recipe for social disaster (i.e. totalitarianism). There were also sub-themes and arguments that proved both compelling and particularly relevant to current eco- nomic struggles and debates over theory. But what I also arrived at was a series of concerns surrounding the way in which the various arguments *Jamin Andreas Hübner is a member of the Economics Faculty, Western Dakota Technical Institute, the Economics Faculty, University of the People, and is Research Fellow at the Center of Faith and Human Flourishing, LCC International University.
