Demography & International Migrations - WP
Working towards a European immigration policy (WP) WP 57/2009 (Translated from Spanish) - 16/12/2009 Carmen González Enríquez and Alicia Sorroza The EU has laid the foundation for a comprehensive European integration policy that addresses such issues as positive management of immigration and measures to curb irregular flows of immigrants. However, it is still far from having a true, common European immigration policy, and this is one of the challenges that Spain will face during its EU Presidency starting in 2010.
Irregular Immigration Policy in the European Community: Action at all Stages of the Irregular Migration Flow (WP) WP 38/2009 - 17/7/2009 Maria Ilies While EU member states have been reluctant to harmonise their policies for managing legal immigration, cooperation for the prevention and control of irregular migration has progressed.
Spain and the G-20: A Strategic Proposal for Enhancing its Role in Global Governance 8/4/2009 Elcano Royal Institute This paper explores the role Spain can and should play in the institutions engaged in global governance in the current context of financial crisis and reconfiguration of international power centres. After briefly analysing Spain’s relative position in the world –on the basis of economic and other criteria– the study suggests the path it should follow to boost its influence in the world. The paper points out Spain’s comparative advantages, the areas where it could contribute most, and the shortcomings that make it difficult to translate Spain’s economic weight into greater political influence at the global level.
The Other Immigrants: EU Citizens from Rich Countries (WP) WP 37/2008 (Translated from Spanish) - 6/10/2008 Carmen González Enríquez Only a quarter of foreigners from the most developed countries in the EU who live in Spain are pensioners. The rest belong to the active population, and their educational and occupational levels are higher than those of the Spanish population, and considerably higher than those of the rest of the immigrant population.
Language and Immigration: An Analysis of the Development of Linguistic Requirements in Immigration Policy (WP) WP 17/2008 (Translated from Spanish) - 12/5/2008 Rut Bermejo What relationship exists between language and migratory patterns? What is the role of language in flows of immigrants and in immigration policies? Is it advantageous for an immigrant to know the language of the host country? These and other questions are at the heart of this reflection on the relationship between the language an immigrant speaks and the dominant language of the host country.
North Africa: Grappling with Demography (WP) WP 56/2004 - 4/11/2004 Rickard Sandell This paper discusses the general nature of current demographic trends. The purpose is to offer a more nuanced view of part of the world''''s population development. In particular, the author shows that the demographic transition, while similar in developed and developing countries, gives rise to an emerging demographic clevage between developed and developing countries. The focus of this paper is on demographic changes in the Mediterranean region. Rickard Sandell contrasts demographic developments on both the southern and northern shores of the Mediterranean Sea.
