  • Future of the Kurdish Diaspora 28052017 Wahlbeck 2017 Handbook
    1 [Contribution to Routledge Handbook on the Kurds, revised 28 May 2017] Östen Wahlbeck The Future of the Kurdish Diaspora The Kurdish communities outside of Kurdistan increasingly constitute a global diaspora. Well- established Kurdish communities are found all over the world and they form new ethnic minorities in the countries of settlement. Yet, these communities continue to be characterised by the various political developments in Kurdistan, including wars, genocide and forced migration that have occurred in the Kurdish regions in Iran, Iraq, Turkey and Syria. The successive waves of Kurdish political refugees that have arrived in the Kurdish diaspora have significantly influenced the processes of community formation and social integration of the diaspora. Large numbers of refugees have been forced to flee Kurdistan since the 1960s and the largest communities can be found in Europe1, especially in Germany2. Thus, the focus in this article is on 1 Östen Wahlbeck, “Kurds in Europe: From Labor Migrants to Asylum Seekers,” in Kurdish Exodus: From Internal Displacement to Diaspora, ed. by Mohammed M. A.

These issues are s tu discussed with the aid of the theoretical perspectives of social net- D ies 2012 ies works analysis on the one hand and migration and mobility on the other. Insecurity, uncertainty and an overall precariousness crystallise as constitutive of the state of transit. The thesis highlights the proces- sual nature of mobility and immobility strategies. The issue of migrant capital, conceptualised as local knowledge with a particular focus on the migrant experience, is found to be a crucial aspect accounting for immobility in transit. The thesis further identifies a pattern of social stratification based on immobility intersected with legal status and migrant capital. It argues that this stratification is produced by transit movements and, in turn, that it reproduces transit movements. Rela- ted to this social stratification is the presentation of Istanbul as the socio-economic context offering conditions for both establishment in situ and for establishment in mobility.

  • Cigarette Smugglers: a Note on Four „Unusual Suspects‟, Global Crime
    ANTONOPOULOS, G. A. (FORTHCOMING 2007) ‘Cigarette Smugglers: A Note on Four „Unusual Suspects‟, Global Crime RESEARCH REPORT Cigarette Smugglers: A Note on Four „Unusual Suspects‟ 1 RESEARCH REPORT Cigarette Smugglers: A Note on Four „Unusual Suspects‟ Georgios A. Antonopoulos School of Social Sciences and Law, University of Teesside, Middlesbrough, UK Abstract The smuggling of contraband cigarettes is discussed in relation to numerous financial and social issues. Cigarette smugglers are often portrayed as ruthless and dangerous individuals, and according to official and media accounts a clear link has been established between cigarette smuggling and „criminal and terrorist organisations‟. The aim of this article is to challenge this stereotypical image of the cigarette smugglers based on the presentation of the stories of four smugglers interviewed in Greece and the United Kingdom. Keywords: cigarette smugglers, organised crime, terrorism, stereotypes Georgios A. Antonopoulos obtained his PhD from the University of Durham, UK in 2005. He is currently lecturer in criminology at the School of Social Sciences and Law of the University of Teesside, UK. His research interests include the criminality, criminalisation and victimisation of minority ethnic groups, „organised crime‟, and illegal markets. Email: [email protected]. The author would like to thank Federico Varese, the editorial board of Global Crime and Mark Cowling for their comments and suggestions on previous drafts of the article. 2 Introduction It is estimated that smuggled cigarettes account for 6-8.5 per cent of the total cigarette consumption, and that for every truckload of cigarettes smuggled into the EU US$ 1,2 million (approximately £ 691,000/€ 992,000) in taxes are lost (Joossens and Raw, 1998).

Wishing to provide the framework for the formulation of a coherent, comprehensive and global response to migration issues, and acting on the encouragement of the UN Secretary-General, Sweden and Switzerland, together with the governments of Brazil, Morocco, and the Philippines, decided to establish a Global Commission on International Migration (GCIM). Many additional countries subsequently supported this initiative and an open-ended Core Group of Governments established itself to support and follow the work of the Commission. The Global Commission on International Migration was launched by the United Nations Secretary-General and a number of governments on December 9, 2003 in Geneva. It is comprised of 19 Commissioners. The mandate of the Commission is to place the issue of international migration on the global policy agenda, to analyze gaps in current approaches to migration, to examine the inter-linkages between migration and other global issues, and to present appropriate recommendations to the Secretary-General and other stakeholders. The research paper series 'Global Migration Perspectives' is published by the GCIM Secretariat, and is intended to contribute to the current discourse on issues related to international migration.

A prevailing tendency to focus on men and families among academic researchers and policymakers alike, renders them largely invisible. When it comes to African women, however, processes of gendered racialization operate to make them also hyper-visible in stereotypical ways: as oppressed wives and mothers, uneducated domestic workers, and sexualised and/or dangerous Others. In a country in which national identity and belonging are strongly racialized, African women have long been subjected to processes of legal abjectification.
