Poverty, environmental degradation, persecution, war and conflict are not only the source of mass displacement, but also the source of impoverishment and impairment. And yet, rarely visible, seldom heard, disabled forced migrants are persistently recast in an epistemological and ontological shadow. This chapter explores the disability/forced migration nexus in an attempt to understand some of the critical intersectionalities that emerge, and their implications for theory and practice. We argue that forced migration studies, as well as humanitarian responses, maintain an ableist approach focusing on heteronormative productive bodies, whilst disability studies continues to pursue social justice and access to rights within a corpus of knowledge framed within the hegemony of sovereign structures and liberal democratic norms, thus excluding the non-citizen disabled body.Engaging a critical approach, in this chapter we frame the study of disability and forced migration within broader global political, economic and social structures and processes, that seeks to locate the multidimensional individual within macro structures and processes, whilst acknowledging how the agency of the subaltern disabled forced migrant located in the global South persistently confronts, challenges and negotiates such global structures.", "publisher": "Springer International Publishing", "authors": ["Maria Pisani", "Shaun Grech", "Ayman Mostafa", "Karen Soldatic"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Disability and Forced Migration_ Intersect - Maria Pisani.pdf", "dir_path": "Maria Pisani/Disability and Forced Migration_ Intersections and Critical Debates (12)/", "size": 398199}], "cover_url": "Maria Pisani/Disability and Forced Migration_ Intersections and Critical Debates (12)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "8z5XbWD42L/d"}], "languages": ["eng"], "series": "International Perspectives on Social Policy, Administration, and Practice"}, "9efe2d82-414b-4561-9004-9852502ca7d8": {"title": "The asylum process and possibilities for a transformative pedagogy : exploring the case of Sub-Saharan African female asylum seekers in Malta", "title_sort": "The asylum process and possibilities for a transformative pedagogy : exploring the case of Sub-Saharan African female asylum seekers in Malta", "pubdate": "2013-05-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2021-05-21 14:31:27.812638+00:00", "library_uuid": "4c529018-6c74-487c-9b77-dcafff459505", "librarian": "Ezra Rozier", "_id": "9efe2d82-414b-4561-9004-9852502ca7d8", "tags": ["migration"], "abstract": "Whilst EU legislation and policy has focused on the importance of the asylum process, and the need for asylum seekers to understand the process, academic literature has, to date, failed to recognize this procedure as a learning process. In this paper I interrogate the asylum process as a contested site representing different gendered and racialised practices, grounded in specific gendered and historical sociopolitical contexts. Moving beyond the \u2018banking\u2019 notion of education, the asylum process is positioned as a potentially transformative pedagogical site wherein the lawyer - as educator - can engage in a dialogical relationship with the asylum seeker. I posit that the proposed educational journey, which is grounded in dialogue, mutual learning, and developing trust, can provide the possibility for developing self determination, working towards protection and social justice.

The 'closed ports' strategy adopted by Italy and Malta against the MV Lifeline and the detention-at-sea policy pursued by Australia are investigated from the competing perspectives of what we call the 'security lens' and the 'humanitarian lens' to demonstrate how a good faith interpretation of the applicable (if apparently conflicting and overlapping) norms can (and should) be mobilized to save lives, and how that goal is unduly undercut when security concerns trump humanitarian interests.", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Violeta Moreno-Lax", "Daniel Ghezelbash", "Natalie Klein"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Between life, security and rights_ Framing -

It problematizes the instrumentalization of rescue, based on the supposed benevolent effect of \u2018stopping the boats\u2019 as a means to \u2018save lives\u2019. Two competing yet complementary dynamics are detected and critiqued. First, while destination States inflate their policing competence through reliance on rescue rhetoric and intervene beyond prerogatives explicitly recognized in the law of the sea, they tend to maintain minimalistic constructions of the associated concepts of \u2018distress\u2019 or \u2018place of safety\u2019 to reduce the scope of their legal responsibilities. Thus, secondly, they deflate their rescue duties and detach them from related international protection obligations, either by deflecting them to third countries or by negating them altogether. Drawing on examples from the US Caribbean interdiction programme, the Australian \u2018Pacific Strategy\u2019, and the mare clausum approach favoured in the Mediterranean, the chapter traces the shift from direct to indirect forms of interdiction, increasingly performed by third countries or private actors, culminating in practices of interdiction by omission, which not only tolerate, but purposively embed, the risk of death as part of the migration control toolbox of destination States. The final effect is one that paradoxically transforms rescue into an interdiction tool, denying access to asylum for \u2018boat migrants\u2019.", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Violeta Moreno-Lax"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Protection at Sea and the Denial of Asylum - Violeta Moreno-Lax.pdf", "dir_path": "Violeta Moreno-Lax/Protection at Sea and the Denial of Asylum (22)/", "size": 394411}], "cover_url": "Violeta Moreno-Lax/Protection at Sea and the Denial of Asylum (22)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "XDoYT/aweDZ6"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "c0efe36e-77ad-481a-938f-0f334568a202": {"title": "Migrants, borders and the criminalisation of solidarity in the EU", "title_sort": "Migrants, borders and the criminalisation of solidarity in the EU", "pubdate": "2018-05-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2021-05-21 14:31:56.840499+00:00", "library_uuid": "4c529018-6c74-487c-9b77-dcafff459505", "librarian": "Ezra Rozier", "_id": "c0efe36e-77ad-481a-938f-0f334568a202", "tags": ["migration"], "abstract": "Europe\u2019s response in 2015 to the arrival of the largest forced displacement of peoples since the second world war, was not to attend to their needs but to securitise its borders and use laws aimed at people traffickers and smugglers, against those giving aid to the destitute new arrivals.

Using a spatial approach, we propose the term 'counter-islandness' to describe a migration situation characterized by movement (versus immobility) and articulation of scales (versus isolation). We show how different scales in their complex and multiple interactions contribute to shaping and determining the future and trajectories of the 'undesirables'. We explain how Malta has found itself at the heart of a complex circulatory system, articulating mobilities operating at various scales.

Adopting Fairclough\u2019s threedimensional framework (1995), we start off by presenting the values that underlie local discriminatory attitudes as social practice, as these were identified by the participants of four focus group interviews that were conducted at the University of Malta. In this respect, while xenophobia seems to be a far more pressing issue in Malta, homophobia, which is still also present, is taken to be predominantly triggered by deep-rooted religious beliefs and allegiance to heteronormative values. Then, when it comes to xenophobia, the main relevant trigger seems to be the perceived threat that the different collective background of a particular subset of migrants in Malta poses to the local culture. In an attempt to show that these values can also be discerned by examining even the most basic textual characteristics of a dataset comprising xenophobic and homophobic talk in the local context, we turn to identify them by looking at quantitative measures pertaining to lexical choice and metaphorical extension in the relevant parts of our corpus. In this way, we provide evidence for the fundamental - for Critical Discourse Analysis - claim that the textual analysis of a relevant dataset can indeed reveal the axiological framework that underlies the negative stance that the general population may have in relation to particular minorities, showcasing the relevance of discourse analytic methods for the broader understanding of discrimination and hate speech.", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Stavros Assimakopoulos", "Rebecca Vella Muskat"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Exploring xenophobic and homophobic attitu - Stavros Assimakopoulos.pdf", "dir_path": "Stavros Assimakopoulos/Exploring xenophobic and homophobic attitudes in Malta_ Linking the perception of social practic (28)/", "size": 456502}], "cover_url": "Stavros Assimakopoulos/Exploring xenophobic and homophobic attitudes in Malta_ Linking the perception of social practic (28)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "UBKOFyCRTupG"}], "languages": ["eng"], "series": "Lodz Papers in Pragmatics"}, "eb24aea5-4c6e-4703-a85f-b80ea52d1dcd": {"title": "Strangers on the Shore: Sub-Saharan African \u201cIrregular\u201d Migrants in Malta", "title_sort": "Strangers on the Shore: Sub-Saharan African \u201cIrregular\u201d Migrants in Malta", "pubdate": "2014-05-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2021-05-21 14:32:23.137643+00:00", "library_uuid": "4c529018-6c74-487c-9b77-dcafff459505", "librarian": "Ezra Rozier", "_id": "eb24aea5-4c6e-4703-a85f-b80ea52d1dcd", "tags": ["migration"], "abstract": "This article explores narratives of strangerhood given by young migrants from sub-Saharan Africa (some arriving without documentation and in noncompliance with immigration laws) living in Malta.

Previous research has demonstrated deep antipathy towards the Arab community in Malta, and social representations of Arabs are mired in a conflation of ethnic and religious categories with negative connotations. This paper presents evidence of the potency, within the public sphere, of negative arguments from cultural essentialism, concerning the integration of Arabs in Europe. The data were obtained abductively from a data corpus containing positive, mixed and negative arguments about Arabs and their integration. Results pointed towards the almost total exclusivity of arguments from cultural essentialism. These posited Arabic culture as an underlying essence that makes integration difficult or impossible. Different forms of culturally essentialist views varied in their emphasis of different aspects of cultural essentialism. Reductionist, determinist, delineatory and temporal aspects of cultural essentialism were all emphasised by respondents.

Here, I examine how the new structures influence the discourse and logic of migration policies and politics and also how the seemingly small and powerless states affect regional policies. My contention is that, within this EU framework and with limited material power, the two outpost states have developed strategies based on nonmaterial power in order to defend and promote their interests. Such strategies have resulted in treating irregular immigration as a crisis in order to attract support. The new dynamics have thus resulted in more barriers to migration, and in negative consequences for the individual migrants and refugees on the islands.

With the aim of defining demographic characteristics and assessing the prevalence of conditions of public health significance among asylum seekers in Malta, a clinical research study was implemented in the framework of the European Union project \u2018Mare nostrum\u2019. Methods From August 2010 to June 2011 a dermatologist and an infectious diseases specialist performed general and specialist health assessment of migrants hosted in open centres. Results Migrants included in the study were 2216, 82.7% were males, their mean age was 25 years and 70.1% were from Somalia. Out of the total females, 42.5% had undergone some type of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting. A total of 5077 diagnoses were set, most common were skin diseases (21.9%), respiratory diseases (19.8%) and gastro-enteric diseases (14.2%), whereas 31% of migrants reported good health conditions. Conclusions Immigrants have a lower morbidity burden compared with their fellow countrymen living in the origin country. However, living conditions during the journey, in transit countries and after arrival can influence their health status.

This quartet is, to a large extent, used as stepping stones by irregular migrants and asylum seekers to reach the European continent. This paper studies the role of these islands as 'outposts' of a framework of externalization. It starts by discussing the notion of externalization and its different facets. It considers how externalization is linked to both fencing and gate-keeping strategies of migration and asylum control. The second part of the paper focuses on the special role of the island quartet with respect to the externalization web cast by national and EU-wide migration policies.

Thus, in order to have a clearer understanding of the context within which violations are said to occur, the cases of Louled Massoud, Suso Musa and Aden Ahmed are examined in light of the Maltese practice of detention and its equivalent in EU law. One should not merely state that detention is based on one of the said grounds, since a State must still have in place an effective remedy through which an individual could challenge the lawfulness of the same detention while being so detained and which would be capable of ordering release. In the three cases against Malta, the ECtHR found that the right to a speedy remedy under Article 5(4) of the ECHR had been violated. In order to comprehend why the ECtHR found such violations, the implications of Article 5(4) can be inferred through a reference to both the case-law and theory of the ECtHR. The domestic remedies found in Article 409A of the Criminal Code, Article 25A of the Immigration Act and the Constitutional remedy are examined in light of a number of elements inferred from the case-law of the ECtHR, but in terms of speediness, effectiveness and capability of examining lawfulness, in particular.

It has been depicted as a no-go area to be avoided by the local population. This was brought about by the recent phenomena of migrants who either reside at the Open Centre, or are attracted to this context for social or work possibilities. This research was conducted to investigate urban decay, areas of social disorganisation and the presence of migrant segregation in this town. A unique time geography approach was employed in this spatio-temporal research to study the dynamic activities of migrants in Marsa. Data triangulation was possible as multiple research tools were employed, including geo-spatial data collection, observation methods and elite interviews. Thematic and spatial evaluations were implemented and the findings elicited were presented in hotspot and choropleth maps based on Burgess\u2019 (1925) concentric ring model. The results implicated that the area surrounding the Open Centre, which is also the space mainly occupied by migrants, is socially disorganised and deteriorated. The ageing local population, their lack of education, cultural conflict and racist convictions may be the reasons why this migrant related area is avoided particularly after sunset.

Therefore, an indication of the salient features of employment rights are considered, enlisting the main rights afforded to all workers as protected by law. Chapter 2 introduces and defines who Third Country Nationals are, as the persons to whom this study entails, clarifying those who do not fall under this classification, as well as listing different types of TCN migrant workers.

The different permits available allow for diverse layers of rights and equality that permit holders may access locally. Chapter 4 portrays a brief yet realistic picture of the grievances faced by TCNs at work. These grievances are generally caused by discrimination at the workplace on grounds of race, ethnicity, nationality and religion.

An appreciation of the subject of the study cannot be gained without first acquiring an understanding of the institution of marriage and the valid constitution thereof, which is lacking in a marriage of convenience.

The manner in which such immigration rights could be obtained on the strength of false matrimonial ties and the rationale for opting to abuse of the fundamental human right to marry instead of making use of the legal channels designated for their acquisition, is also examined.

On the one hand, media driven and political discourses tend to criminalise forcibly displaced individuals. On the other hand, they have often been pathologised by trauma-focused clinical literature. The common tendency is to regard asylum seekers as a homogeneous group, indissolubly defined by their migration status, rather than by their humanity and individuality. However, recent studies in the field of refugee care have redirected the attention to the uniqueness of human responses, noting that not all asylum seekers are necessarily traumatised and that in fact resilient, or even generative outcomes in the face of the upheavals of forced migration are not uncommon. The purpose of this study is threefold. Firstly, it aims at offering a counter-narrative to the dominant and generalised tales about forcibly displaced individuals by giving a voice to personal experiences of resilience in the face of adversity. Secondly, it strives to address a perceived gap in the literature on resilience among refugees. Such a gap exists, for instance, in the scarcity of narrative research on the subject within the Maltese context of refuge. Another objective of this undertaking is to achieve a better understanding of the factors in the host country which may facilitate or impair resilience and how counselling could be of benefit. The study has employed a narrative process of inquiry. Three personal stories, narrated during individual semi-structured interviews, are presented in the original first person. The inquirer's subjective and literature-influenced re-telling of the respondents' narratives takes place in a separate chapter. The findings show that resilience undoubtedly plays a key role in helping forcibly displaced individuals cope throughout the ongoing challenges of resettlement. Resilience is an idiosyncratic, dynamic and context-related response to adversity. Contrary to early studies on it, resilience is not merely an intra-psychic process; it is strongly influenced by the environmental lack of, or provision of existential resources, protection status being chief among the factors. Thus, resilience can best thrive when basic needs are met. This has profound implications for counsellors, who are urged to expand their work on a systematic level through advocacy for social justice in order to counter oppression and to facilitate access to resilience promoting resources.", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Elisa Ultimini"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Wounded healers in refuge _ personal exper - Elisa Ultimini.pdf", "dir_path": "Elisa Ultimini/Wounded healers in refuge _ personal experiences of resilience in the face of adversity _ voices (60)/", "size": 1829166}], "cover_url": "Elisa Ultimini/Wounded healers in refuge _ personal experiences of resilience in the face of adversity _ voices (60)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "NDZydi4kcWxd"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "1f8538cd-e292-490a-a70a-c6ba90b39855": {"title": "Migration, identity and integration : a case study of the multi-ethnic reality in the Maltese islands", "title_sort": "Migration, identity and integration : a case study of the multi-ethnic reality in the Maltese islands", "pubdate": "2015-05-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2021-05-21 14:33:56.909682+00:00", "library_uuid": "4c529018-6c74-487c-9b77-dcafff459505", "librarian": "Ezra Rozier", "_id": "1f8538cd-e292-490a-a70a-c6ba90b39855", "tags": ["migration"], "abstract": "Immigration to the European Union is on the rise and the islands of Malta are of no exception. While immigration has been part of the Maltese reality for centuries, since the early 2000s, the island state of Malta has increasingly moved into the international spotlight as a front-line state for immigration, with newcomers arriving mainly from Central and Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa. Whilst part of this immigration is coming from the African continent, other arrivals have been coming both from within the European Union (EU) and of third-country nationals most of which come to Malta with the prospect of a better future in Europe, in the hope of finding better job opportunities and a better quality of life.

Contrasting perspectives of personal thoughts have emerged from the study. Specifically respondents were asked a series of questions on both social implications and also on economic implications. One of the recurring findings was that foreign retirement migration happens as a process which mostly occurs gradually in a retiree's life.

Pull factors, including climatic conditions, language, Maltese lifestyle and safety,were observed as being the most fundamental issues which foreign retirees take into account prior to relocating.

Each interview was recorded and later transcribed. A phenomenological approach was used to see how the participants made sense of their migratory experience. From the analysis of the data it became clear that younger and older athletes migrate for different purposes. Younger athletes migrate to pursue their dreams of playing professionally abroad, to earn more money and/or to find who they are. On the other hand, older athletes migrate to keep earning money from sports, even if it means going to play at lower levels. At the same time, older athletes migrate to countries which enable them to play and to raise a family. Gender also played a part in migration patterns. Male athletes have more opportunities to migrate than female athletes and one reason for this is that much more money is offered to male athletes rather than female athletes.

While humans migrate from one region to another in pursuing better opportunities, education is vital to provide for the social growth of children. In fact, the right to education is fundamental to the development of individuals and society. In this dissertation this inalienable right is analysed by focusing specifically on how the right to education is applied to compulsory-aged Third Country National students in order to achieve the level of social integration that is necessary in a democratic society. Malta and Sweden provide a drastic contrast in the integration of Third Country National children through education. Before the influxes of humanitarian migrants began, especially in the last decade, both states experienced an unprecedented amount of emigrants who started returning to their home countries in the late 1970s and 1980s. The Education Acts of Malta and Sweden thus had to make a number of alterations to adapt to the changing demographics of society. This becomes a recurrent theme as reforms occur in the educational governance, and education and migration laws of both countries in order to adjust to the incessant changes in society with the in-flow of economic and humanitarian migrants. However, while in Sweden the integration policy started progressing in the 1960s after the assimilation policies were discarded in the 1950s, in Malta the integration policy is still in its early stages. With the inflow of humanitarian and economic migrants, there is more diversity in schools and thus, quality education needs to provided for all so as to prevent the high risk that TCN students face in becoming early school leavers. EU directives are analysed followed with the comparative implementation at the national levels of Malta and Sweden to determine the access that TCN students have to the right of education. Also, the national curriculum and integration educational policies of the two states are analysed. When compared to Sweden, Malta\u2019s setbacks in TCN integration in the classroom will become evident due to lack of TCN policy at the national level.", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Noelene Scerri"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "The social integration of third country na - Noelene Scerri.pdf", "dir_path": "Noelene Scerri/The social integration of third country nationals through education _ a comparative analysis bet (64)/", "size": 627466}], "cover_url": "Noelene Scerri/The social integration of third country nationals through education _ a comparative analysis bet (64)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "+YyxFXPlFuEi"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "2e3fd006-3fa8-45d9-9ebb-91bd070d9b3d": {"title": "Migrant rescue at sea : a humanitarian view of search and rescue in Malta", "title_sort": "Migrant rescue at sea : a humanitarian view of search and rescue in Malta", "pubdate": "2015-05-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2021-05-21 14:34:07.570535+00:00", "library_uuid": "4c529018-6c74-487c-9b77-dcafff459505", "librarian": "Ezra Rozier", "_id": "2e3fd006-3fa8-45d9-9ebb-91bd070d9b3d", "tags": ["migration"], "abstract": "This study set out to determine whether international human rights obligations are relevant to, and incorporated into, the training of rescue officials working with the Maritime Squadron of the Armed Forces of Malta (AFM).

Furthermore, the study has uncovered that diverse actors working in the area of migration stand to benefit from more interagency communication in order to fill gaps in knowledge and enhance mutual understanding.

Xenophobic sentiments are subsequently considered to be emerging across the continent, especially in Mediterranean EU Member States such as Greece, Italy and Malta. This thesis will attempt to analyse the levels of xenophobia exhibited by Maltese young adult students, a significant proportion of the upcoming generation of voters, with regard to black migrants in Malta. While there are a number of other minorities spread across the island, the author chose to focus on black migrants in order to acquire more focused results. This study utilises a quantitative mode of analysis through the use of a survey in order to obtain the results needed. Apart from personal information, 250 young Maltese adults were asked to respond to 11 different questions relating to xenophobia, divided into four categories used to project sentiments towards immigrants, including \u2015realistic threats\u2016, \u2015symbolic threats\u2016, \u2015intergroup anxiety and stereotyping\u2016, and \u2015miscellaneous\u2016. Observations were then made from the results obtained. The findings show that Maltese young adults were not considered to be significantly xenophobic in their perception of black migrants. The main concerns of the respondents regarded overpopulation, diversion of public expenditure, and a change in the religious beliefs of the state. On the other hand, common positive conceptions included: black migrants as a benefit to the labour force; that stereotyping affects their perception of this cohort; and support for intermarriage. By correlating the two sets of data, the author was also able to observe that (1) Maltese female young adults showed comparatively less xenophobic tendencies, (2) that an inverse relationship existed between the level of education and the level of xenophobia, and (3) that young adults in less advantageous socioeconomic positions tended to be more xenophobic.", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Matthew Gatt"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Tracing xenophobic tendencies in students - Matthew Gatt.pdf", "dir_path": "Matthew Gatt/Tracing xenophobic tendencies in students with regard to black migrants in Malta (66)/", "size": 1084482}], "cover_url": "Matthew Gatt/Tracing xenophobic tendencies in students with regard to black migrants in Malta (66)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "xx5L8DRa3xrC"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "de705ce4-f66e-4f28-bfb2-badaa83a30ed": {"title": "Working from the heart : a study of Filipino care workers in Malta", "title_sort": "Working from the heart : a study of Filipino care workers in Malta", "pubdate": "2016-05-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2021-05-21 14:34:12.722310+00:00", "library_uuid": "4c529018-6c74-487c-9b77-dcafff459505", "librarian": "Ezra Rozier", "_id": "de705ce4-f66e-4f28-bfb2-badaa83a30ed", "tags": ["migration"], "abstract": "The main aim of this research was to observe emotional labour in practice. This was done by engaging in participant observation with five Filipina care workers working in a private care home run by a Non-Governmental organisation. I also conducted a series of semi-structured interviews with my informants. Through these interviews the main theme of emotional labour emerged. My informants felt that in performing their job they were also performing the role of the mother, and would consistently refer to themselves as \u2018mothers\u2019. My informants also believed that because they were now away from their own household, the role of motherhood towards their children and family has somewhat changed. While as \u2018care workers\u2019 my informants provided emotional labour they are also migrant workers and it is therefore important to contextualise their work within processes of global labour migration. My findings suggested that firstly there are quite a substantial number of Filipino nationals working as care workers in Malta, most of who are female individuals. Moreover, these female Filipina migrants migrate to Western countries in order to be able to financially support their families in the Philippines. My conclusion is that as a result of the distance between the care workers and their families, and due to the nature of their work they have constructed a new family dynamic within the workplace while still also clinging to certain factors that differentiate them from the local culture and as well the residents themselves, via coping mechanisms.", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Sarah Mifsud"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Working from the heart _ a study of Filipi - Sarah Mifsud.pdf", "dir_path": "Sarah Mifsud/Working from the heart _ a study of Filipino care workers in Malta (67)/", "size": 375827}], "cover_url": "Sarah Mifsud/Working from the heart _ a study of Filipino care workers in Malta (67)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "w4ihQHJ8miph"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "6dc4eb29-778d-49fc-8576-ba587ff164be": {"title": "Exploring Muslim parents' perceptions and expectations of early childhood education : a case study", "title_sort": "Exploring Muslim parents' perceptions and expectations of early childhood education : a case study", "pubdate": "2014-05-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2021-05-21 14:34:15.603887+00:00", "library_uuid": "4c529018-6c74-487c-9b77-dcafff459505", "librarian": "Ezra Rozier", "_id": "6dc4eb29-778d-49fc-8576-ba587ff164be", "tags": ["migration"], "abstract": "This dissertation probes the Muslim parents' perceptions and expectations of early childhood education in Malta. With Muslims being a minority in Maltese society, Islamic views in the area of early childhood education are often overlooked. The National Curriculum Framework (2012) states that, our educational system should support \u201cthe expectations of children and their parents\u201d, and yet Catholic Religious Education is the only option available in State schools as to date. This thesis explores the views of the Muslim parents through interviews with twelve individuals who profess the Islamic faith and whose children attend the Kindergarten of Mariam Al Batool School \u2013 Malta's only Muslim school. Although this is a small scale qualitative study, of which findings, cannot be generalized, most of the parents interviewed are concerned that their children become inured to western beliefs in the State schools and consequently lose their religious identity as they progress in their educational development. With the ever increasing migration phenomenon in Europe, Islamic perceptions vary regarding educational expectations. These depend on the Muslim parents' socio-economical and educational background. However all Muslim parents agree upon one common denominator \u2013 the appropriate exposure to the Islamic faith in a western educational environment, which they feel, currently offers no provision for children to practice their Muslim religious beliefs in mainstream schools.", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Maria Dolores Schembri"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Exploring Muslim parents' perceptions and - Maria Dolores Schembri.pdf", "dir_path": "Maria Dolores Schembri/Exploring Muslim parents' perceptions and expectations of early childhood education _ a case stu (68)/", "size": 847876}], "cover_url": "Maria Dolores Schembri/Exploring Muslim parents' perceptions and expectations of early childhood education _ a case stu (68)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "EnWY/OBtcYLY"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "60bcc388-3c62-4f9f-9e23-98458d5e56f4": {"title": "The impact of EU foreign policy on small member states : analysing the case of Malta and Cyprus", "title_sort": "The impact of EU foreign policy on small member states : analysing the case of Malta and Cyprus", "pubdate": "2016-05-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2021-05-21 14:34:18.047678+00:00", "library_uuid": "4c529018-6c74-487c-9b77-dcafff459505", "librarian": "Ezra Rozier", "_id": "60bcc388-3c62-4f9f-9e23-98458d5e56f4", "tags": ["migration"], "abstract": "This dissertation was inspired by the limited research existing in the field in spite of the fact that both Malta and Cyprus have been Member States of the European Union (EU) for the past twelve years. This work has, in fact, been undertaken to address this gap in literature, with the aim being that of analysing the impact of EU foreign policy on the national foreign policy of Malta and Cyprus. This analysis commences with a historical overview of Malta and Cyprus\u2019 foreign policy and a special focus on their relations with the EU. This is followed by two case studies which aim at presenting a comprehensive and comparative analysis on the impact of EU Membership, particularly with respect to EU foreign policy sensu lato, national foreign policy institutions and procedures and foreign policy substance. The first case study relates to Malta and Cyprus\u2019 accession to the EU, with the analysis focusing on the impact of the transposition and implementation of the acquis communautaire on national foreign policy. The second case study analyses the impact of EU membership on Malta and Cyprus post-2004. In order to ensure a comprehensive analysis, this case study employs a sector-specific approach, featuring the two most important foreign policy priorities for Malta and Cyprus: Irregular Migration for Malta and the Cyprus Problem respectively. The analysis conducted in the case studies is carried out in light of the over-arching concept of Europeanization. The latter theory assists in presenting a framework on the impact of EU foreign policy on the national foreign policy of Malta and Cyprus, doing so via three main processes: Adaptation and Policy Convergence, National Projection and Identity Reconstruction. The case studies outline several examples of interaction within the context of EU foreign policy and how the three processes of Europeanization have diversely affected, or been utilised by, Malta and Cyprus. With this having been said, the same analysis also reveals that national foreign interests and preferences remain the primary focus of these EU Member States. The conclusions of this research aim to offer the reader a comprehensive framework of analysis on the influence and potential of small EU Member States participating in EU foreign policy.", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Alison Camilleri"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "The impact of EU foreign policy on small m - Alison Camilleri.pdf", "dir_path": "Alison Camilleri/The impact of EU foreign policy on small member states _ analysing the case of Malta and Cyprus (69)/", "size": 1977393}], "cover_url": "Alison Camilleri/The impact of EU foreign policy on small member states _ analysing the case of Malta and Cyprus (69)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "5iBFzmaCDGNf"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "85685971-6638-4380-91c0-6822d041bed1": {"title": "Exploring the impact of values education on youth's attitudes towards African migrants in Malta", "title_sort": "Exploring the impact of values education on youth's attitudes towards African migrants in Malta", "pubdate": "2015-05-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2021-05-21 14:34:20.617254+00:00", "library_uuid": "4c529018-6c74-487c-9b77-dcafff459505", "librarian": "Ezra Rozier", "_id": "85685971-6638-4380-91c0-6822d041bed1", "tags": ["migration"], "abstract": "This study utilized a cross-sectional survey distributed to Maltese youth and quantitative statistical analysis to answer this question. Increasing anti-immigration sentiments throughout Europe have become even more present in Malta following the arrival of thousands of asylum-seekers from the African continent. Negative attitudes towards such migrants have become a source of prejudice and discrimination and an obstacle to the successful integration of African and Maltese communities. Participants\u2019 experience with Values Education is analyzed alongside their attitudes towards African migrants to demonstrate that Values Education is a significant driver of positive attitude formation. This study suggests that this educational approach, more so than a \u2018higher education\u2019 alone, is more strongly correlated to positive attitudes towards migrants. Most significantly, Values Education experiences within the classroom which emphasize the application of positive, pro-social values through concepts such as discrimination and racism are most strongly correlated to positive attitudes. It is suggested that cognitive processes of attitude formation are aided by the tendency for such concepts to move learners beyond an abstract conception of values through an emphasis on the logic and rationale behind the application of certain values over others. This may increase the likelihood that such values will be internalized. It is shown that Values Education may act to mitigate the impact of other negative attitude drivers and improve public attitudes towards migrants. As such, Values Education could serve as a potential driver of the positive attitudes necessary for the relations between these two communities to improve thereby increasing the opportunities for their successful integration. To achieve this, educational policy-makers, community leaders, and families in Malta should take note of these implications and work to harmonize and consistently emphasize Values Education activities throughout all spaces within society.", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Lauren Corboy"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Exploring the impact of values education o - Lauren Corboy.pdf", "dir_path": "Lauren Corboy/Exploring the impact of values education on youth's attitudes towards African migrants in Malta (70)/", "size": 1119304}], "cover_url": "Lauren Corboy/Exploring the impact of values education on youth's attitudes towards African migrants in Malta (70)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "FZD+G3ZGNolW"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "69018306-86bc-4d52-be19-0f5d665e584b": {"title": "Men, sex & violence : exploring sexual and gender-based violence against men in the context of forced migration", "title_sort": "Men, sex & violence : exploring sexual and gender-based violence against men in the context of forced migration", "pubdate": "2015-05-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2021-05-21 14:34:23.333944+00:00", "library_uuid": "4c529018-6c74-487c-9b77-dcafff459505", "librarian": "Ezra Rozier", "_id": "69018306-86bc-4d52-be19-0f5d665e584b", "tags": ["migration"], "abstract": "Previous studies on sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) against men have mainly sought to investigate the phenomenon in peaceful scenarios and during wartime. With very rare exceptions, little to no attention has ever been paid to its perpetration in the context of forced migration. Moreover, whilst it is known that male asylum seekers in Malta, including those identified as vulnerable, are entitled to a number of services, hardly any information about the latter is available, or whether the issue is at all acknowledged in the first place. To this end, individual face-to-face in-depth interviews with five cisgender men and one transgender woman of sub-Saharan African origin and five relevant local service providers were conducted to explore how men may be exposed to SGBV during the forced migratory process, and to investigate the extent to which key stakeholders in Malta are taking into account, in their programming efforts, the needs of SGBV-affected forced migrant men. This study finds that male forced migrants who travel northward from sub-Saharan Africa may fall victim to SGBV, the causes and effects of which vary considerably from one case to another. If not directly affected, many are compelled to witness the victimisation of their relatives or companions, both male and female. Whilst all sub-Saharan African men may be exposed to SGBV during their journey, some of them are likely, more than others, to face specific forms of it owing to certain aspects of their identity. The findings show that, at present, local service providers are not sufficiently equipped to meet the unique needs of victimised male forced migrants. This study reveals that SGBV against sub-Saharan African men is a severely underreported crime in Malta, mainly due to the stigma attached to the issue, and also the fear, particularly on the part of gay men, to open up to the authorities. Language barriers and the perceived risk of deportation upon reporting are also identified as factors contributing to this culture of silence.", "publisher": "", "authors": ["James Naudi"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Men, sex & violence _ exploring sexual and - James Naudi.pdf", "dir_path": "James Naudi/Men, sex & violence _ exploring sexual and gender-based violence against men in the context of f (71)/", "size": 7238207}], "cover_url": "James Naudi/Men, sex & violence _ exploring sexual and gender-based violence against men in the context of f (71)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "kQBITMpEwPBK"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "f133a4d6-1703-4294-a278-08536a6a907c": {"title": "The challenges of irregular maritime migration", "title_sort": "The challenges of irregular maritime migration", "pubdate": "2013-05-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2021-05-21 14:34:26.635818+00:00", "library_uuid": "4c529018-6c74-487c-9b77-dcafff459505", "librarian": "Ezra Rozier", "_id": "f133a4d6-1703-4294-a278-08536a6a907c", "tags": ["migration"], "abstract": "This contribution presents migrant smuggling by sea as a multi-faceted phenomenon.

It seeks to provide an introduction to the legal basis for action to combat FGM whilst at the same time acknowledging that the law is only a part of the framework in this regard. The relevant provisions from international and Maltese law are addressed with particular attention placed on the provisions in the Maltese criminal code introduced in 2014. Part III presents the findings from the qualitative research including both the focus group and interviews with stakeholders and communities at risk. Despite the small samples, a number of interesting observations emerge which provide insights into some of the challenges faced as well as opportunities for future measures to address FGM. Part IV presents promising practices from various countries on approaches to combat FGM. These practices could help inform the development, implementation and evaluation of measures in Malta.

With a current local discourse of \u2018dumping\u2019 of these migrants within the Maltese Education System, it is felt that the research area of this thesis is a need, since it addresses the local pitfalls and possibilities for integration. The dichotomy of whether EU migrant students are camouflaged or visible in our education system is explored through interviews with Heads of school, teachers, EU migrant adolescents and informal educators. This comparative study uses a critical theoretical paradigm and a constructivist grounded theory methodology to explore the way and the extent in which these adolescents are integrated in formal and informal education structures, the factors that facilitate or hinder such integration and the perceptions of different stakeholders about integration of EU migrant adolescents. Results show that there are various factors that influence integration; however one has to consider their intersectionality. This is done by not restricting the analysis of the situation to just one factor, but to the mutual influence of all these factors. In fact, age, years of residence, nationality, ethnicity, religion, personality characteristics, migration trajectories, participation in informal and extra-curricular activities at school, friendships and language are not considered as standalone factors but as a set of factors that mutually influence the degree of integration of these adolescents in both education institutions. In addition, the study also shows that there are various strategies used by different stakeholders that helped the integration process. Nevertheless, it was observed that these strategies are not common in all schools, and perceptions about integration are both positive and negative. This is because to date there is no clear policy that guides the integration process or specific guidelines which support educators. This research suggests that there is an urgent need for a national policy about integration; together with more planning, guidance and assistance on a national level and on-going strategies in formal and informal education institutions. Further recommendations include the introduction of an integration officer in each College, pre-schooling integration practice and revised teacher-training at University which equips and trains prospective educators to teach multi-cultural classes.", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Claudio Bezzina"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Camouflaged or visible _ a comparative stu - Claudio Bezzina.pdf", "dir_path": "Claudio Bezzina/Camouflaged or visible _ a comparative study in the integration of EU migrant adolescents within (76)/", "size": 2174784}], "cover_url": "Claudio Bezzina/Camouflaged or visible _ a comparative study in the integration of EU migrant adolescents within (76)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "sMd5HBpzwIQ/"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "42271d60-c77d-49e6-b7b1-d85dd2c53cc0": {"title": "Insights into social empowerment through peer and mentoring support of young adult refugees in Malta", "title_sort": "Insights into social empowerment through peer and mentoring support of young adult refugees in Malta", "pubdate": "2016-05-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2021-05-21 14:34:41.403221+00:00", "library_uuid": "4c529018-6c74-487c-9b77-dcafff459505", "librarian": "Ezra Rozier", "_id": "42271d60-c77d-49e6-b7b1-d85dd2c53cc0", "tags": ["migration"], "abstract": "Human migration is, at present, occurring at unprecedented levels and as a result, many countries are struggling to cope.

It is recommended to consult this report for clarification of the exact meaning of the concepts used. Sections 5 \u2013 8 are based on data from the MIPEX Health strand questionnaire, which covers 23 topics, in 10 of which multiple indicators are averaged. Each indicator is rated on a 3-point Likert scale as follows: 0 no policies to achieve equity 50 policies at a specified intermediate level of equity 100 equitable or near-equitable policies. \u2018Equity\u2019 between migrants and nationals means that migrants are not disadvantaged with respect to nationals. This usually requires equal treatment, but where migrants have different needs it means that special measures should be taken for them. Scores relate to policies adopted (though not necessarily implemented) by 31st December 2014. However, some later developments may be mentioned in the text. To generate the symbols indicating a country\u2019s ranking within the whole sample, the countries were first ranked and then divided into five roughly equal groups (low score \u2013 below average \u2013 average \u2013 above average \u2013 high). It should be remembered that these are relative, not absolute scores. The background information in sections 1-4 was compiled with the help of the following sources.

It should be noted that the information in WHO and Eurostat databases is subject to revision from time to time, and may also differ slightly from that given by national sources.

The paradigm has shifted from control and security exclusively to an increased awareness of the ramifications of migration in development and labour markets, the increasing demographic gap1 and the dangers of exclusion faced by migrant workers (regular or irregular). Eastern Europe will suffer the biggest population decline in the coming years, and Nigeria\u2019s population will reach one billion by 2100. In Europe, the work replacement ratio will be two pensioners for one active worker. It has become clear that these facts cannot be ignored and that there is a need for greater convergence of policies (migration/mobility, fundamental rights, and economic growth), with a migrant-centred approach.2. The assumption that Europe will remain a geopolitical and economic hub that attracts immigrants at all skill levels might not hold water in the long run. The evolving demographic and economic changes have made it evident that the competitiveness of the EU (Europe 2020 Strategy) is also at stake, particularly if an adaptable workforce with the necessary skills is not secured in view of shortfalls in skill levels and because of serious labour mismatches. Therefore, it is the right moment to develop more strategic and long-term migration policies that take into account the evolving position of Europe and its neighbours in the world. By the same token, labour market strategies that meet needs and promote integration of regular migrants are still a pending task for the Member States (MS) in terms of the free movement of people, but also in relation with neighbouring and partner countries.", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Berta Fernandez"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Migration and asylum _ the movement of peo - Berta Fernandez.pdf", "dir_path": "Berta Fernandez/Migration and asylum _ the movement of people in the Mediterranean Region - future scenarios and (84)/", "size": 2546548}], "cover_url": "Berta Fernandez/Migration and asylum _ the movement of people in the Mediterranean Region - future scenarios and (84)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "k5o0Hhel0r7T"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "28f0ad4e-6bcc-4631-a5d7-1f5804b37341": {"title": "Connected Learning in the Higher Education of Refugees: A Critical Report", "title_sort": "Connected Learning in the Higher Education of Refugees: A Critical Report", "pubdate": "2019-05-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2021-05-21 14:35:03.343099+00:00", "library_uuid": "4c529018-6c74-487c-9b77-dcafff459505", "librarian": "Ezra Rozier", "_id": "28f0ad4e-6bcc-4631-a5d7-1f5804b37341", "tags": ["migration"], "abstract": "", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Shaun Grech"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Connected Learning in the Higher Education - Shaun Grech.pdf", "dir_path": "Shaun Grech/Connected Learning in the Higher Education of Refugees_ A Critical Report (85)/", "size": 821810}], "cover_url": "Shaun Grech/Connected Learning in the Higher Education of Refugees_ A Critical Report (85)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "3el758BXD8aC"}], "languages": []}, "900c1aff-6d17-44b0-b94f-c81cf3c01101": {"title": "Fortress Europe?", "title_sort": "Fortress Europe?", "pubdate": "2017-05-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2021-05-21 14:35:06.248115+00:00", "library_uuid": "4c529018-6c74-487c-9b77-dcafff459505", "librarian": "Ezra Rozier", "_id": "900c1aff-6d17-44b0-b94f-c81cf3c01101", "tags": ["migration"], "abstract": "Challenges and failures of migration and asylum policies.

Yet, EU law fails to provide a definition and a clear indication of what it entails, especially as for its external reach. Against this background, this article embarks on a theoretical/practical investigation of the normative bases of \u2018EU solidarity\u2019. Building on a cosmopolitan vision, it unpacks the multi-polar/multi-functional nature of the concept, as a founding value and constitutional (meta-)principle of EU law. In such a guise, it will posit that solidarity gives rise to an (autonomous) primary law duty of responsibility sharing/good faith cooperation that requires \u2018fairness\u2019 and \u2018respect for fundamental rights\u2019, as a uniform/all-pervading structural command generally applicable across policy fields. So configured, solidarity governs intra/extra-EU relations (based on the principle of coherence). The institutional, material, and procedural aspects of solidarity are thus explored to distil its horizontal, vertical, and systemic facets. Combined, they arguably produce a triple duty of conduct, loyalty, and result that permeates EU integration as a whole, calling into question the self-serving approach currently guiding the Common European Asylum System\u2019s (CEAS) \u2018external dimension\u2019, as exemplified by the EU-Turkey \u2018deal\u2019.", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Violeta Moreno-Lax"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Solidarity's reach_ Meaning, dimensions an - Violeta Moreno-Lax.pdf", "dir_path": "Violeta Moreno-Lax/Solidarity's reach_ Meaning, dimensions and implications for EU (external) asylum policy (105)/", "size": 287304}], "cover_url": "Violeta Moreno-Lax/Solidarity's reach_ Meaning, dimensions and implications for EU (external) asylum policy (105)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "LWLYxBx9U+k7"}], "languages": ["eng"], "series": "Maastricht Journal of European and Comparative Law"}, "bb6f6056-7cd8-4a10-ab8f-1a629be8a1a7": {"title": "Intersectionality, Forced Migration, and the Jus-generation of the Right to Flee: Theorising the Composite Entitlement to Leave to Escape Irreversible Harm", "title_sort": "Intersectionality, Forced Migration, and the Jus-generation of the Right to Flee: Theorising the Composite Entitlement to Leave to Escape Irreversible Harm", "pubdate": "2020-05-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2021-05-21 14:36:12.561974+00:00", "library_uuid": "4c529018-6c74-487c-9b77-dcafff459505", "librarian": "Ezra Rozier", "_id": "bb6f6056-7cd8-4a10-ab8f-1a629be8a1a7", "tags": ["migration"], "abstract": "This chapter critiques the piecemeal approach of the Strasbourg Court to the question of access to asylum, showing how inter-sectionality theory can facilitate a principled shift towards an analysis that captures the complexity of refugees\u2019 position and recovers the indivisibility of human rights. The theory calls for the multi-dimensional appreciation of human experience in a way that encompasses the whole breadth of lived realities. A similar approach is advocated herein to the construal of the law so that inter-sectional thinking guides not only the appraisal of factual constellations, but also the interpretation of the applicable norms. The main proposition is that, to fully apprehend the rights and realities of asylum seekers, an inter-sectional approach is key in addressing the totality of their plight. Only a whole-of-person approach matched by a whole-of-legal-system interpretation is capable of realizing substantive justice in practice. This requires a holistic understanding that penetrates the full depth of their individual situations, as traversed by the plethora of legal provisions that accumulate and interact at the same time, overcoming the limitations of current constructions of their rights as disconnected from each other and from the circumstances to which they apply.

The chapter uncovers a contradictory dynamic whereby the mutual recognition of rights-restricting measures across the EU is near-automatic and practically unconditional, while the mutual recognition of rights-conferring measures virtually non-existent. The reason for this is identified to lie in the interplay between presumed (abstract) trust, as required by the case law of the Court of Justice, and the real (practical) distrust, professed at horizontal and vertical level in the day-to-day administration of EU migration and asylum governance.

To curb this influx, European countries instituted restrictive migration policies often characterized by building of razor-wire border fences and border closures. Among migrants/refugees who received mental health care in Serbia while travelling through Balkan countries to Northern Europe, we assessed the prevalence and patterns of violent events experienced including physical trauma. Methods A mixed methods study among migrants/refugees attending mobile mental health clinics run by Medecins sans Frontieres (MSF) between July 2015 and June 2016, in Serbia - a main transit hub to European countries. Clinics were conducted according to MSF guidelines by experienced psychologists who were supported by cultural mediators. The main outcome measures were violent events and associated physical trauma. Results Of 992 migrants/refugees attending MSF mental health clinics, the majority (72%) were from Syria and Afghanistan and included vulnerable groups (14%) such as unaccompanied minors and pregnant women. The most frequent mental health symptoms/signs were anxiety (29%) and adjustment reactions (26%). Of the 992 migrants/refugees, 270 (27%) had experienced violent events during their journey. Signs of physical trauma due to acts of violence were seen in 223(22%) of the 992 individuals, 144 (65%) being perpetrated by State authorities and involving women (11%) and children (13%). Border closures along the Balkan route were associated with a dramatic decrease in registered migrants/refugee arrivals in Serbia. Conversely, among those that made it across the borders, an increasing linear trend in reported violent events was observed at MSF mental health clinics (X 2 for linear trend, P textless0 \u00b7 001). Qualitative evidence corroborated with quantitative findings. Conclusions Nearly one-in-three migrants/refugees seen in MSF clinics experienced violent events including physical trauma along their journey. State authorities, including those in European countries were the perpetrators in over half of such events which were associated with border closures. There is \u201ca crisis of protection and safe passage\u201d which needs to change towards one of respect for the principles of international human rights and refugee law.", "publisher": "Conflict and Health", "authors": ["Jovana Arsenijevi", "Erin Schillberg", "Aurelie Ponthieu", "Lucio Malvisi", "Waeil A.

Adopting Fairclough\u2019s threedimensional framework (1995), we start off by presenting the values that underlie local discriminatory attitudes as social practice, as these were identified by the participants of four focus group interviews that were conducted at the University of Malta. In this respect, while xenophobia seems to be a far more pressing issue in Malta, homophobia, which is still also present, is taken to be predominantly triggered by deep-rooted religious beliefs and allegiance to heteronormative values. Then, when it comes to xenophobia, the main relevant trigger seems to be the perceived threat that the different collective background of a particular subset of migrants in Malta poses to the local culture. In an attempt to show that these values can also be discerned by examining even the most basic textual characteristics of a dataset comprising xenophobic and homophobic talk in the local context, we turn to identify them by looking at quantitative measures pertaining to lexical choice and metaphorical extension in the relevant parts of our corpus.

We show how different scales in their complex and multiple interactions contribute to shaping and determining the future and trajectories of the 'undesirables'.

More specifically, this study asks what are relationships between forms of contact, perceptions of threat, and assessment of migration policies and institutions. The authors posit that perception of threat arrives from different patterns of interaction between the number of immigrants and type of contacts. They also explore the impact of the form of contact and level of threat on general support for migration policies and analyze how different types of threat affect support for particular policies. The study compares the intergroup contact in two localities of Balzan and Marsa that are both home to Open Centers for migrants.", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Karina Korostelina", "Lynette Camilleri"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Contact, Perceptions of Threat, and Assess - Karina Korostelina.pdf", "dir_path": "Karina Korostelina/Contact, Perceptions of Threat, and Assessment of Migration Policies in Malta (244)/", "size": 1183976}], "cover_url": "Karina Korostelina/Contact, Perceptions of Threat, and Assessment of Migration Policies in Malta (244)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "FuCPxiy0DiN8"}], "languages": ["eng"], "series": "Journal of Identity and Migration Studies"}, "398825fc-22e0-46ec-854e-959443e8df00": {"title": "Islands and a Carceral Environment: Maltese Policy in Terms of Irregular Migration", "title_sort": "Islands and a Carceral Environment: Maltese Policy in Terms of Irregular Migration", "pubdate": "2014-05-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2021-05-22 10:04:58.099216+00:00", "library_uuid": "4c529018-6c74-487c-9b77-dcafff459505", "librarian": "Ezra Rozier", "_id": "398825fc-22e0-46ec-854e-959443e8df00", "tags": ["migration"], "abstract": "Although security has become a common framework for analyzing dispositifs that aim to control irregular migration, island spaces themselves are seldom considered as security dispositifs.

Here, I examine how the new structures influence the discourse and logic of migration policies and politics and also how the seemingly small and powerless states affect regional policies. My contention is that, within this EU framework and with limited material power, the two outpost states have developed strategies based on nonmaterial power in order to defend and promote their interests. Such strategies have resulted in treating irregular immigration as a crisis in order to attract support. The new dynamics have thus resulted in more barriers to migration, and in negative consequences for the individual migrants and refugees on the islands.

With the aim of defining demographic characteristics and assessing the prevalence of conditions of public health significance among asylum seekers in Malta, a clinical research study was implemented in the framework of the European Union project \u2018Mare nostrum\u2019. Methods From August 2010 to June 2011 a dermatologist and an infectious diseases specialist performed general and specialist health assessment of migrants hosted in open centres. Results Migrants included in the study were 2216, 82.7% were males, their mean age was 25 years and 70.1% were from Somalia. Out of the total females, 42.5% had undergone some type of Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting. A total of 5077 diagnoses were set, most common were skin diseases (21.9%), respiratory diseases (19.8%) and gastro-enteric diseases (14.2%), whereas 31% of migrants reported good health conditions. Conclusions Immigrants have a lower morbidity burden compared with their fellow countrymen living in the origin country.

This report is structured as follows. Part I provides an overview of the literature on FGM. It focuses on the international, European and national context as well as on the health implications of FGM before reviewing the literature on the training of healthcare professionals. Finally, the review provides a number of country profiles focusing on countries of origin of migrants in Malta and in which FGM is a widespread phenomenon. Part II introduces the legal framework at the international, European and national level. It seeks to provide an introduction to the legal basis for action to combat FGM whilst at the same time acknowledging that the law is only a part of the framework in this regard. The relevant provisions from international and Maltese law are addressed with particular attention placed on the provisions in the Maltese criminal code introduced in 2014. Part III presents the findings from the qualitative research including both the focus group and interviews with stakeholders and communities at risk. Despite the small samples, a number of interesting observations emerge which provide insights into some of the challenges faced as well as opportunities for future measures to address FGM. Part IV presents promising practices from various countries on approaches to combat FGM. These practices could help inform the development, implementation and evaluation of measures in Malta. Part V concludes by identifying a number of running themes from the research and presenting a number of concrete and achievable recommendations.", "publisher": "", "authors": ["National Commission for the Promotion of Equality (NCPE)"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Female genital mutilation in Malta _ a res - National Commission for the Promotion of E.pdf", "dir_path": "National Commission for the Promotion of Equality (NCPE)/Female genital mutilation in Malta _ a research study (258)/", "size": 1695315}], "cover_url": "National Commission for the Promotion of Equality (NCPE)/Female genital mutilation in Malta _ a research study (258)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "P6+7wAa8iYjc"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "4319d5a0-4b71-4444-9fd2-5cb3388c2553": {"title": "Labour market integration of asylum seekers and refugees - Malta", "title_sort": "Labour market integration of asylum seekers and refugees - Malta", "pubdate": "2016-05-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2021-05-22 10:05:27.245649+00:00", "library_uuid": "4c529018-6c74-487c-9b77-dcafff459505", "librarian": "Ezra Rozier", "_id": "4319d5a0-4b71-4444-9fd2-5cb3388c2553", "tags": ["migration"], "abstract": "This report investigates the labour market integration of asylum seekers and refugees in Malta.

The paradigm has shifted from control and security exclusively to an increased awareness of the ramifications of migration in development and labour markets, the increasing demographic gap1 and the dangers of exclusion faced by migrant workers (regular or irregular). Eastern Europe will suffer the biggest population decline in the coming years, and Nigeria\u2019s population will reach one billion by 2100. In Europe, the work replacement ratio will be two pensioners for one active worker. It has become clear that these facts cannot be ignored and that there is a need for greater convergence of policies (migration/mobility, fundamental rights, and economic growth), with a migrant-centred approach.2. The assumption that Europe will remain a geopolitical and economic hub that attracts immigrants at all skill levels might not hold water in the long run. The evolving demographic and economic changes have made it evident that the competitiveness of the EU (Europe 2020 Strategy) is also at stake, particularly if an adaptable workforce with the necessary skills is not secured in view of shortfalls in skill levels and because of serious labour mismatches. Therefore, it is the right moment to develop more strategic and long-term migration policies that take into account the evolving position of Europe and its neighbours in the world. By the same token, labour market strategies that meet needs and promote integration of regular migrants are still a pending task for the Member States (MS) in terms of the free movement of people, but also in relation with neighbouring and partner countries.", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Berta Fernandez"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Migration and asylum _ the movement of peo - Berta Fernandez.pdf", "dir_path": "Berta Fernandez/Migration and asylum _ the movement of people in the Mediterranean Region - future scenarios an (261)/", "size": 2546548}], "cover_url": "Berta Fernandez/Migration and asylum _ the movement of people in the Mediterranean Region - future scenarios an (261)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "k5o0HhMdDILm"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "bc3c9e7c-1dd0-44d0-8329-ebaeac0670d5": {"title": "Malta Review of Educational Research [Editorial]", "title_sort": "Malta Review of Educational Research [Editorial]", "pubdate": "2013-05-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2021-05-22 10:05:33.985961+00:00", "library_uuid": "4c529018-6c74-487c-9b77-dcafff459505", "librarian": "Ezra Rozier", "_id": "bc3c9e7c-1dd0-44d0-8329-ebaeac0670d5", "tags": ["migration"], "abstract": "Short editorial describing the articles in this issue, which are a result of a number of papers presented at a conference that was held in Malta in December 2011 on Islands and Migration organized by the MIRIADE Network (A Network of researchers working on Irregular Migration in European Islands) and the Department of International Relations at the University of Malta.", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Victor Martinelli", "Isabelle Calleja Ragonesi"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Malta Review of Educational Research [Edit - Victor Martinelli.pdf", "dir_path": "Victor Martinelli/Malta Review of Educational Research [Editorial] (262)/", "size": 423693}], "cover_url": "Victor Martinelli/Malta Review of Educational Research [Editorial] (262)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "T7/PJUPK2gwZ"}], "languages": ["eng"], "series": "MERE"}, "7bb720b9-c518-4c9c-b2d4-24777f03ead3": {"title": "Connected Learning in the Higher Education of Refugees: A Critical Report", "title_sort": "Connected Learning in the Higher Education of Refugees: A Critical Report", "pubdate": "2019-05-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2021-05-22 10:05:35.923012+00:00", "library_uuid": "4c529018-6c74-487c-9b77-dcafff459505", "librarian": "Ezra Rozier", "_id": "7bb720b9-c518-4c9c-b2d4-24777f03ead3", "tags": ["migration"], "abstract": "", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Shaun Grech"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Connected Learning in the Higher Education - Shaun Grech.pdf", "dir_path": "Shaun Grech/Connected Learning in the Higher Education of Refugees_ A Critical Report (263)/", "size": 821810}], "cover_url": "Shaun Grech/Connected Learning in the Higher Education of Refugees_ A Critical Report (263)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "3el758kh3bRr"}], "languages": []}, "c1172ba0-2360-486a-95b8-f3133dc4b4f8": {"title": "Fortress Europe?", "title_sort": "Fortress Europe?", "pubdate": "2017-05-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2021-05-22 10:05:38.120255+00:00", "library_uuid": "4c529018-6c74-487c-9b77-dcafff459505", "librarian": "Ezra Rozier", "_id": "c1172ba0-2360-486a-95b8-f3133dc4b4f8", "tags": ["migration"], "abstract": "Challenges and failures of migration and asylum policies.

The theory calls for the multi-dimensional appreciation of human experience in a way that encompasses the whole breadth of lived realities. A similar approach is advocated herein to the construal of the law so that inter-sectional thinking guides not only the appraisal of factual constellations, but also the interpretation of the applicable norms. The main proposition is that, to fully apprehend the rights and realities of asylum seekers, an inter-sectional approach is key in addressing the totality of their plight. Only a whole-of-person approach matched by a whole-of-legal-system interpretation is capable of realizing substantive justice in practice. This requires a holistic understanding that penetrates the full depth of their individual situations, as traversed by the plethora of legal provisions that accumulate and interact at the same time, overcoming the limitations of current constructions of their rights as disconnected from each other and from the circumstances to which they apply. The end result is a focus on the jus-generative effects of the intersection between the right to leave and the right to protection against ill-treatment, giving rise to the composite \u2018right to leave to escape ill-treatment\u2019 or \u2018right to flee\u2019, based on the interactive combination of existing entitlements (without the need for new law). The purchase of this method is wider than this chapter will elaborate.

On the other hand, some isolated EU law rules give the impression that refugees are to be exonerated from normal admittance requirements.

Yet, EU law fails to provide a definition and a clear indication of what it entails, especially as for its external reach. Against this background, this article embarks on a theoretical/practical investigation of the normative bases of \u2018EU solidarity\u2019. Building on a cosmopolitan vision, it unpacks the multi-polar/multi-functional nature of the concept, as a founding value and constitutional (meta-)principle of EU law. In such a guise, it will posit that solidarity gives rise to an (autonomous) primary law duty of responsibility sharing/good faith cooperation that requires \u2018fairness\u2019 and \u2018respect for fundamental rights\u2019, as a uniform/all-pervading structural command generally applicable across policy fields. So configured, solidarity governs intra/extra-EU relations (based on the principle of coherence). The institutional, material, and procedural aspects of solidarity are thus explored to distil its horizontal, vertical, and systemic facets.

This chapter explores the disability/forced migration nexus in an attempt to understand some of the critical intersectionalities that emerge, and their implications for theory and practice.

To curb this influx, European countries instituted restrictive migration policies often characterized by building of razor-wire border fences and border closures. Among migrants/refugees who received mental health care in Serbia while travelling through Balkan countries to Northern Europe, we assessed the prevalence and patterns of violent events experienced including physical trauma. Methods A mixed methods study among migrants/refugees attending mobile mental health clinics run by Medecins sans Frontieres (MSF) between July 2015 and June 2016, in Serbia - a main transit hub to European countries. Clinics were conducted according to MSF guidelines by experienced psychologists who were supported by cultural mediators. The main outcome measures were violent events and associated physical trauma. Results Of 992 migrants/refugees attending MSF mental health clinics, the majority (72%) were from Syria and Afghanistan and included vulnerable groups (14%) such as unaccompanied minors and pregnant women. The most frequent mental health symptoms/signs were anxiety (29%) and adjustment reactions (26%). Of the 992 migrants/refugees, 270 (27%) had experienced violent events during their journey. Signs of physical trauma due to acts of violence were seen in 223(22%) of the 992 individuals, 144 (65%) being perpetrated by State authorities and involving women (11%) and children (13%). Border closures along the Balkan route were associated with a dramatic decrease in registered migrants/refugee arrivals in Serbia. Conversely, among those that made it across the borders, an increasing linear trend in reported violent events was observed at MSF mental health clinics (X 2 for linear trend, P textless0 \u00b7 001). Qualitative evidence corroborated with quantitative findings. Conclusions Nearly one-in-three migrants/refugees seen in MSF clinics experienced violent events including physical trauma along their journey. State authorities, including those in European countries were the perpetrators in over half of such events which were associated with border closures.

It problematizes the instrumentalization of rescue, based on the supposed benevolent effect of \u2018stopping the boats\u2019 as a means to \u2018save lives\u2019. Two competing yet complementary dynamics are detected and critiqued. First, while destination States inflate their policing competence through reliance on rescue rhetoric and intervene beyond prerogatives explicitly recognized in the law of the sea, they tend to maintain minimalistic constructions of the associated concepts of \u2018distress\u2019 or \u2018place of safety\u2019 to reduce the scope of their legal responsibilities. Thus, secondly, they deflate their rescue duties and detach them from related international protection obligations, either by deflecting them to third countries or by negating them altogether. Drawing on examples from the US Caribbean interdiction programme, the Australian \u2018Pacific Strategy\u2019, and the mare clausum approach favoured in the Mediterranean, the chapter traces the shift from direct to indirect forms of interdiction, increasingly performed by third countries or private actors, culminating in practices of interdiction by omission, which not only tolerate, but purposively embed, the risk of death as part of the migration control toolbox of destination States. The final effect is one that paradoxically transforms rescue into an interdiction tool, denying access to asylum for \u2018boat migrants\u2019.", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Violeta Moreno-Lax"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Protection at Sea and the Denial of Asylum - Violeta Moreno-Lax.pdf", "dir_path": "Violeta Moreno-Lax/Protection at Sea and the Denial of Asylum (303)/", "size": 394411}], "cover_url": "Violeta Moreno-Lax/Protection at Sea and the Denial of Asylum (303)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "XDoYT/LNBQe1"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "1686b829-7c90-4aa7-96d1-c397a08be506": {"title": "Extraterritorial immigration control: what role for legal guarantees?", "title_sort": "Extraterritorial immigration control: what role for legal guarantees?", "pubdate": "2010-05-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2021-05-22 10:23:46.753966+00:00", "library_uuid": "4c529018-6c74-487c-9b77-dcafff459505", "librarian": "Ezra Rozier", "_id": "1686b829-7c90-4aa7-96d1-c397a08be506", "tags": ["migration"], "abstract": "", "publisher": "Brill Nijhoff", "authors": ["Bernard Ryan"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Extraterritorial immigration control_ what - Bernard Ryan.pdf", "dir_path": "Bernard Ryan/Extraterritorial immigration control_ what role for legal guarantees_ (304)/", "size": 1800910}], "cover_url": "Bernard Ryan/Extraterritorial immigration control_ what role for legal guarantees_ (304)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "ta1Bf+lNigg0"}], "languages": []}, "0a6e3d65-5b41-4081-8ffa-310c4a333f7f": {"title": "Migrants, borders and the criminalisation of solidarity in the EU", "title_sort": "Migrants, borders and the criminalisation of solidarity in the EU", "pubdate": "2018-05-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2021-05-22 10:23:48.452929+00:00", "library_uuid": "4c529018-6c74-487c-9b77-dcafff459505", "librarian": "Ezra Rozier", "_id": "0a6e3d65-5b41-4081-8ffa-310c4a333f7f", "tags": ["migration"], "abstract": "Europe\u2019s response in 2015 to the arrival of the largest forced displacement of peoples since the second world war, was not to attend to their needs but to securitise its borders and use laws aimed at people traffickers and smugglers, against those giving aid to the destitute new arrivals. This article focuses on a discussion at the launch of Humanitarianism: the unacceptable face of solidarity, between the Institute of Race Relations, NGOs, solidarity campaigns, academics and students concerned about the EU\u2019s attitude and policies to search and rescue in the Mediterranean Sea, the harassment and criminalising of those trying to give support to refugees and the ways to organise to preserve humanitarian principles in Europe.
