Researching & teaching 🇪🇺 & migration politics. PhD on migration & trade policies @nccr_onthemove.

[Paula Hoffmeyer-Zlotnik @pzlotnik.bsky.social @PZlotnik]

This “market model” of migration makes up for nearly half of non-EU labour migration to Switzerland. By emphasising temporality, it avoids politicisation but can also lead to unequal treatment.

Much of labour migration happens quietly. Our new research looks at business migration in Switzerland — posted workers, managers, consultants, transferees. Temporary, facilitated, but often with limited rights and little long-term integration or stay prospects (1/2).

🚨 New in Comparative Migration Studies:
@LutzPhilipp & co. conceptualize ‘business migration,’ a rising form of mobility at the crossroads of trade law, labour markets and migration studies.
They show why it matters, with Switzerland as a case study. https://t.co/znkUvYySje

📖New publication! Our chapter "Business mobility as a privileged form of temporary labour migration" w @LutzPhilipp and Sandra Lavenex shows how trade agreements & national policies increasingly privilege temporary work over rights—even for highly-skilled migrants.

[International Labour Organization @ilo]

Temporary migrant workers deserve protection!

Many face unfair working conditions and exclusion from labour laws.

It’s time for policies that ensure fair migration and decent work.

I have created a searchable list of 80+ migration-related movies, offering various perspectives on human movement, identity, and mobility.

What movies would you add?

Categorising certain forms of human movement as ‘migration’ and others as ‘mobility’ has far-reaching consequences.

Our article on the migration-mobility nexus is now published on volume 58 of @sociologyjnl.

New article: Does restricting immigrant rights reduce public opposition to immigration? Not necessarily. Citizens are however more permissive towards immigrants that they believe will contribute to the economy and commit to integration. @nccr_onthemove

Wie die #NoAfD es geschafft hat, fast alle Parteien in eine Anti-Migrations-Einheitsfront zu drängen, welche Folgen das haben dürfte und was dagegen helfen könnte - darüber haben @MXPichl und ich uns hier Gedanken gemacht 👇

Wenn demokratische Parteien und Politiker weiter die Idee nähren, dass man in Deutschland leicht die absolute Kontrolle über Asylantragszahlen haben kann, wird das auf Dauer nur weiter die Extremisten stärken.
Die Wahrheit ist: Im Rahmen der EU und des Rechtsstaats gibt es keine Möglichkeit, die Zahl der Asylanträge direkt zu begrenzen. Man kann vieles ändern, die EU-Partner in die Pflicht nehmen, Integration vorantreiben und Radikalisierung besser bekämpfen oder Verfahren beschleunigen. Aber die Idee, dass Asylsuchende ganz einfach an der Grenze gestoppt werden können - sie ist die Büchse der Pandora, weil man dafür eigentlich die EU verlassen, Schengen aufgeben, das Grundgesetz missachten und die Menschenrechte brechen müsste. Wem Migrationskontrolle wichtiger ist als rechtsstaatliche Prinzipien, der wird dafür Maßnahmen ergreifen müssen, die mit unserem Gesellschaftssystem unvereinbar sind.

[Paula Hoffmeyer-Zlotnik @pzlotnik.bsky.social @PZlotnik]

Very happy that our article on migration control in EU tarde agreements is now out with an issue number! In it, Sandra Levenex, @LutzPhilipp map the migration control content of PTAs and assess potential drivers of this contentious linkage ➡️https://t.co/eN8EuN73af

[Paula Hoffmeyer-Zlotnik @pzlotnik.bsky.social @PZlotnik]

Why and when do 🇪🇺 trade agreements include migration control/readmission clauses? In our #openaccess article with Sandra Lavenex and @LutzPhilipp we find that institutional factors matter more than trade leverage or actual migration numbers ➡️ https://t.co/eN8EuN7AZN @JCMS_EU
