    BIBLIOGRAPH Y A Hand-book on Diaspora and Transnationalism FIRST EDITION April 2013 Compiled By Monika Bisht Rakesh Ranjan Sadananda Sahoo Draft Copy for Reader’s Comments Global Research Forum on Diaspora and Transnationalism www.grfdt.org Bibleography Preface Large scale international mobility of the people since colonial times has been one of the most important historical phenomenon in the human history. This has impacted upon the social, cultural, political and economic landscape of the entire globe. Though academic interest goes back little early, the phenomenon got the world wide attention as late as 1990s. We have witnessed more proactive engagement of various organizations at national and international level such as UN bodies. There was also growing research interest in the areas. Large number of institutions got engaged in research on diaspora-international migration-refugee-transnationalism. Wide range of research and publications in these areas gave a new thrust to the entire issue and hence advancing further research. The recent emphasis on diaspora’s development role further accentuated the attention of policy makers towards diaspora. The most underemphasized perhaps, the role of diaspora and transnational actors in the overall development process through capacity building, resource mobilization, knowledge sharing etc. are growing areas of development debate in national as well as international forums. There have been policy initiatives at both national and international level to engage diaspora more meaningfully since last one decade. There is a need for more wholistic understanding of the enrite phenomena to facilitate researchers and stakeholders engaged in the various issues related to diaspora and transnationalism. Similarly, we find the areas such as social, political and cultural vis a vis diaspora also attracting more interest in recent times as forces of globalization intensified in multi direction.

  • The Presence of Bangladeshis in Rome: Results of a Pilot Study
    The Presence of Bangladeshis in Rome: Results of a Pilot Study Jana Kopecna Department of Statistical Sciences, University of Rome “La Sapienza” Introduction In Italy, immigration has been a recent, but rapidly growing phenomenon. Over the past few decades, Italy has undergone an important transformation, shifting from an emigration country to an immigration country and becoming one of the most important destination countries for immigrants in Europe. According to the data of the Italian National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT), there were approximately 4.4 million foreign citizens residing in Italy on 1 January 2013, equal to 7.4% of the total residents. Considering the whole Italian territory, the three largest immigrant groups are Romanian (21.3% of the total foreign population), Albanian (10.6%) and Moroccan (9.7%). The immigrants from Bangladesh are now the 10th largest group, with 92,695 legally present individuals in Italy (2,1%) [ISTAT, 2012]. Obviously, the foreign citizens are not distributed equally on the Italian territory. Many of them have a specific settlement pattern with higher concentrations in certain areas of the country. Thus, despite the Bangladeshis represent the 10th largest immigrant community in Italy, they are the 3rd largest group in the Municipality of Rome [ISTAT, 2012]. It was only in the late 1980s that the first arrivals of Bangladeshi immigrants were registered in Rome and since then the capital city has become the principal destination of Bangladeshis arriving to Italy. According to the data of the Ministry of Interior, on 31.12.1991 there were 5,237 legally present Bangladeshis in Italy of whom 4,105 were registered in the Municipality of Rome [Knights, 1996b].

  • International Migration 2020 Highlights (ST/ESA/SER.A/452)
    International Migration 2020 Highlights United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division The Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat is a vital interface between global policies in the economic, social and environmental spheres and national action. The Department works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information on which States Members of the United Nations draw to review common problems and take stock of policy options; (ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on joint courses of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities. The Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs provides the international community with timely and accessible population data and analysis of population trends and development outcomes for all countries and areas of the world. To this end, the Division undertakes regular studies of population size and characteristics and of all three components of population change (fertility, mortality and migration). Founded in 1946, the Population Division provides substantive support on population and development issues to the United Nations General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council and the Commission on Population and Development. The Population Division also leads or participates in various interagency coordination mechanisms of the United Nations system. It also contributes to strengthening the capacity of Member States to monitor population trends and to address current and emerging population issues.

  • New Frontiers in Japanese Studies
    New Frontiers in Japanese Studies Over the last 70 years, Japanese Studies scholarship has gone through several dominant paradigms, from ‘demystifying the Japanese’, to analysis of Japanese economic strength, to discussion of global interest in Japanese popular culture. This book assesses this literature, considering future directions for research into the 2020s and beyond. Shifting the geographical emphasis of Japanese Studies away from the West to the Asia-Pacific region, this book identifies topic areas in which research focusing on Japan will play an important role in global debates in the coming years. This includes the evolution of area studies, coping with ageing populations, the various patterns of migration and environmental breakdown. With chapters from an international team of contributors, including significant representation from the Asia-Pacific region, this book enacts Yoshio Sugimoto’s notion of ‘cosmopolitan methodology’ to discuss Japan in an interdisciplinary and trans- national context and provides overviews of how Japanese Studies is evolving in other Asian countries such as China and Indonesia. New Frontiers in Japanese Studies is a thought-provoking volume and will be of great interest to students and scholars of Japanese and Asian Studies. Akihiro Ogawa is Professor of Japanese Studies at the University of Melbourne’s Asia Institute, Australia. His major research interest is in contemporary Japanese society, focusing on civil society. Philip Seaton is a Professor in the Institute of Japan Studies, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, Japan. His main research areas are Japanese memories of the Asia-Pacific War and tourism induced by popular culture.
