Миграционная политика Саудовской Аравии в свете программы реформ «Видение: 2030»

The migration system of Saudi Arabia is considered as one of the most rigid in the world. Nevertheless, this state remains attractive to migrants due to due to earning opportunities. The purpose of this work is to study the key aspects of the migration policy of Saudi Arabia (ideological, social and political) that determine its state at the present stage. Within the framework of this research, the methods of systemic and logical analysis, as well as the historical method were used. These methods made it possible, on the one hand, to generalize, logically structure and interpret the collected data, on the other hand, to highlight the factors that have a significant impact on migration processes in Saudi Arabia and to present their development in historical dynamics. The study found that the migration policy of Saudi Arabia is largely based on the historical context in which the formation of the state took place, and on those ideological postulates (Wahhabism) that were used to ensure the social unity of the kingdom. The experience of Saudi Arabia in the formation and implementation of migration policy is quite specific and cannot serve as a universal model for states with different ideological values and norms. Moreover, the Kingdom itself, in order to modernize the state's economy, is ready to revise the foundations on which the country's migration system is based.

ФОРМИРОВАНИЕ И РЕАЛИЗАЦИЯ ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОЙ МИГРАЦИОННОЙ ПОЛИТИКИ В РОССИИ: ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКИЕ АСПЕКТЫ

The effectiveness of the development of the socio-economic system of any modern state directly depends on the rationality of the formation and the effectiveness of the implementation of the state migration policy. The purpose of the article is to analyze the trends and problems of the development of migration relations in the Russian Federation, the features of the state migration policy and the development of recommendations for its improvement. The paper analyzes the main elements of the regulatory framework in terms of regulation of the state mig- ration policy in the domestic economy. The study of the dynamics of the migration flow was carried out, and also one-factor correlation-regression analysis was used. The main approaches to the rational implementation of the migration policy of the state in relation to illegal migrants are highlighted. A statistical assessment of the dynamics of the migration flow in the Russian Fede- ration in 2010–2018 has been carried out to the level of crime. It is shown that from the point of view of maximizing the average level of profi- tability of products in the economy of the Russian Federation, the annual flow of migrants of working age should be about 200–250 thousand people. The main problems in the implementation of the state migration policy in the Russian Federation are highlighted, such as insufficient attention to the processes of intraregional migration, the lack of comprehensive programs in this area, the lack of efforts to socialize legal migrants from neighboring countries, the lack of effective measures to overcome the migration of the most qualified personnel. Recommendations were developed for improving the state migration policy in the Russian economy in terms of improving the statistical registration of migrants; implementation of a viable strategy for state management of migration processes; creation of effective mechanisms for the integration of migrants into the system of the host society; paying attention to the processes of internal migration, as well as the development of international cooperation in the field of migration policy.

The role of physical culture and sport activities in migrant integration

The relevance of the research topic consists in solving the scientific and practical problem of integrating migrants into the host community. The purpose of the research is to identify the role of physical culture and sports in the social integration of migrants. The methodology of the research is presented by the theories of assimilation of migrants with the local population; multiculturalism as the idea of the existence of a multinational state; transnationalism implemented in the conditions of globalization, informatization and digitalization of the society. The research methods used are content analysis of documents; analysis of statistical data, secondary analysis of sociological data, comparative analysis. The novelty of the research issue lies in the critical understanding of the advantages and limitations of physical training and sports as tools for integrating migrants into host communities in foreign countries. The results of the research have been defined: the role of physical training and sports activities in the process of migrants' integration based on the domestic and foreign research; the main approaches to the implementation of migration policy measures in world practice (assimilation, multiculturalism and transnationalism) as well as the assessment of its success, by using the Migrant Integration Index. The study allows us to draw a conclusion about the dual nature of the integration potential of physical culture and sports in the implementation of migration policy: on the one hand, it is a way of revealing socio-cultural capital, searching for additional opportunities for self-realization in a new socio-cultural environment, overcoming social isolation, eliminating barriers of social exclusion; on the other hand, it is a deterrent effect of migrants' age, gender, ethnicity, religion, level of education, attitude to various sports and physical activity in the countries of entry and exit on the integration process.

Stimulating return migration to Romania: a multi-method study of returnees’ endorsement of entrepreneurship policies

ABSTRACT This study sought to address an important gap in the contemporary literature on intra-European return migration and examines the factors shaping Romanian returnees’ support for return policies based on entrepreneurship. Empirical evidence collected using a multi-method approach was analysed to identify how various features linked to migration experiences and return influence returnees’ likelihood of supporting these types of policies. The quantitative results of logistic regression analyses were complemented by a systematic analysis of qualitative insights collected through in-depth interviews. The general profile of Romanian returnees who support policies focused on entrepreneurship includes the extension of social networks during migration, improvements in self-confidence levels, longer periods after return and urban residential status. A lower probability of favouring these types of policies is determined by returnees’ positive evaluation of pay levels in the local labour market, remittances during migration periods and a higher importance given to the value of migration in terms of learning foreign languages. The in-depth interviews facilitated the identification of the main lines of discourse about what Romanian returnees and a counterfactual control group of non-migrant entrepreneurs think about return migration policy implementation in Romania.

CSOs seen through the optic of the European Commission: has the Commission’s perspective changed following the refugee crisis and the populist turn?

ABSTRACT This article examines the European Commission’s discourse to identify whether and how the Commission’s perception of the role of civil society organisations (CSOs) has evolved in the context of the refugee crisis and the rise of right-wing populism. To this end, we conduct thematic and frame analyses of a variegated data set consisting of announcements, speeches, press releases, and statements published by the Commission between 2013 and 2018. The article shows that the ‘refugee crisis’ and the populist turn have changed the European Commission’s view of CSOs, particularly concerning their democratic function within the European Union set-up as providers of input legitimacy. The lower profile given to civil society in the Commission’s discourse following the surge in populism and growing animosities towards non-governmental organisations signals a discursive turn in the Commission’s perception of CSOs as catalysers of participative and deliberative democracy as well as of policy-making informed by CSO expertise. However, the Commission has framed CSOs as important contributors to the output legitimacy of European Union policies, emphasising the role of civil society in the implementation of migration policies through socioeconomic reforms, providing services, and ‘debunking’ migration-related information.

Challenges and opportunities of Kazakhstan's migration policy

The article assesses the implementation of migration policy of Kazakhstan over the past twenty years based on analysis of previously adopted and/or current legal acts, government programs and concepts. In addition, it analyzes the impact of socio-economic conditions on migration processes on the example of EAEU member states and Kazakhstan, since according to official data the majority of the country’s population emigrate to Russia and Belarus. The result of the analysis revealed the main reasons for the low level of efficiency in the implementation of the migration policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. New approaches have been proposed to regulate migration activities aimed at improving the quality of life of migrants and improving the socio-economic conditions of the indigenous population in order to reduce the outflow of highly qualified specialists from the country. This research is funded by the Science Committee of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Grant No. АР05136246)

El rol de los gobiernos locales en las investigaciones migratorias en Argentina

The purpose of this article is to undertake a review of the literature on developments in the area of migratory studies in Argentina. It recognizes the need to make progress in research on the role played by local governments in the formulation and implementation of migration policies. It is argued that, although the municipalities do not always have regulatory support, sufficient powers or the necessary resources, the reality is that they must respond to different issues associated with the social insertion of migrants and the effective recognition of their rights. This situation, which makes the municipalities increasingly important stakeholders in contemporary migration management, demands a more comprehensive understanding by the specialized academic sector. In addition to identifying this knowledge gap, the paper proposes various guidelines to address this issue in future publications. Furthermore, it highlights the necessary incorporation of social disciplines such as political science, and others related to the study of the State and public policies, with the understanding that they are called upon to make important contributions in this field of study.

Main trends in development of migration policy in Ukraine

This Article is devoted to the interdisciplinary research of Migration Policy and determination of Main Trends of its realization in Ukraine at the current stage. The Basic Steps of Migration Policy-making have been defined. We have also identified that the efficiency of migration policy is determined by degree of consideration of the factors of political, economic, social and demographic origin, as well as by the trends of international labor migration. On the basis of the study results, the main trends of implementation of Migration Policy in Ukraine have been identified: lack of system of collecting and analyzing the statistical information; low level of protection of rights and economic well-being of the employees; absence of any bilateral agreements with those countries where a large number of Ukrainian migrants have been located; significant volume of educational migration; impact of the military and political situation upon the situation with migration. Nowadays, migration processes are one of the key factors in formation of well-being and level of social and economic development of the countries. The global trend of decreasing population, in particular, due to the demographic crisis, push many countries to implement the related migration policy, in order to compensate the loss of labor resources by means of its substitution with the migrant workers. While analyzing the main trends of labor migration in Ukraine, we should underline that nowadays the labor outflow is extremely problematic within the country. The learning of Migration Policy has been realized from the point of view of the principles of historicist tradition, objectivity, complementarity and reasonability, those aspects related to the methodological basis for comprehensive analysis of the subject under study. Researching of Migration Policy in Ukraine was performed with analysis of historical, demographic, economic, social and legal aspects of development. Nowadays, educational migration has a strong influence on migration policy in the country, that’s why it’s needed to be studied deeply. The holistic approach to the problem exploration led to the conclusion that due to the increasing volume of international labor migration, which is closely inter-related with the processes of European integration, there is an increasing need to stipulate and implement the effective migration policy, in particular, in order to reduce the emigration losses for Ukraine and provide conditions for coming of the migrants back to their country.

Ambiguous goals, uneven implementation \u2013 how immigration offices shape internal immigration control in Germany

This paper investigates regional variation in migration policy implementation, focusing specifically on the underexplored role of policy ambiguity. It chooses a salient case study of internal migration control implementation: the application of labour market access policies for migrants with precarious legal status in German municipal immigration offices. Studying the implementation approaches of eleven offices within one Land by means of semi-structured interviews with senior officials, the research design allows for drawing inter-agency and inter-policy comparisons. The data provides empirical evidence for the claim that the more conflictive and hence ambiguous a policy, the more importance can be placed on local determinants of implementation. Different logics (economic welfare and regulatory control logic) legitimizing more restrictive or expansive implementation are identified and linked to the broader migration policy context. Moreover, the difficult task of officials to determine applicants’ identity clarification efforts – a condition for receiving a work permit – serves as basis for conceptually distinguishing between collective and individual discretion of street-level bureaucrats.

Polish migration policy in the framework of EU law

In modern conditions, the role of states and international associations in regulating migration processes, developing and implementing an effective migration policy has become particularly relevant. These problems are quite acute for Poland, which, on the one hand, is a member of the EU and is obliged to implement joint directives within a single legal framework, and on the other hand, as a sovereign state, cannot ignore the existing risks for national security. For Ukraine, the practice of Poland is important for taking into account in the context of ensuring the implementation of the provisions of the Association agreement between the European Union and Ukraine, with the prevention of threats to national interests. The article considers the migration policy of Poland as an EU member state, its features in the context of modern migration processes, and the possibility of influencing migration flows. There is reflected the role of the state in managing the movement of migrants. Also there is drawn attention to Poland's actions within the EU legal framework and their balancing with the national interests of a sovereign state. There is focused special attention on the directions of implementation of migration policy in accordance with EU initiatives. Then are formulated proposals to take into account the Polish experience in solving migration problems for adaptation to Ukrainian practice. The study of the basics of Poland's migration policy, its specifics, features and tasks within the European Union legal framework shows a comprehensive approach to solving migration problems based on the principles of balancing the regulatory requirements of the EU and the national interests of a sovereign state. Based on an analytical review of the main provisions on the country's implementation of migration policy, there were obtained some conclusions, the main ones being the following. Despite its membership in the EU and the need to comply with common legal norms, Poland, as a sovereign state, in its migration policy tries to steadily defend national interests and exclude migration risks to national security. At the same time, ensuring the regulatory function of the state and its authorized institutions is clearly recorded. In the country's migration policy, attention is drawn to the actions of state authorities to take a set of measures aimed at reducing the negative impact of the presence of a large Polish diaspora abroad, while simultaneously implementing a rational migration policy to counteract the constant outflow of highly qualified personnel from the domestic market. Tasks are set to encourage Poles with experience and knowledge acquired abroad to return to the country in housing, family and educational policies. Due to the demographic factor and modern migration processes, one of the directions of Poland's migration policy is to create conditions for ensuring the arrival of migrants with high or rare qualifications in the country, to fill and reduce the shortage of human capital in sectors with high demand for qualifications. This position requires special attention from Ukraine and, in particular, its economic diplomacy, as these actions already create and can aggravate personnel problems for the domestic economy.

ТРАНСФОРМАЦИЯ ЭТНОДЕМОГРАФИЧЕСКОЙ СТРУКТУРЫ НАСЕЛЕНИЯ СТРАН ЕВРОСОЮЗА ПОД ВЛИЯНИЕМ ИММИГРАЦИИ: ОСОБЕННОСТИ ГЕРМАНИИ И АВСТРИИ

The article covers such issues as the impact of international migration on the ethno-demographic and socio-political situation in the EU countries in general and the particular cases of Germany and Austria. A special attention in the analysis has been paid to the peculiarities of immigration from countries with a predominantly Muslim population. Nowadays it can be stated with certainty that international migration is the only source of the population growth in most of the countries of the European Union. Amid low birth rates which do not even provide a simple reproduction of the population and aging processes, international migration has made it possible to provide a stable population growth in Germany, France, UK, Sweden, the Netherlands, Austria and some other EU countries. The analysis of the structure of migration flows gives an opportunity to conclude that in the last decade the main donors for the EU countries were countries with a predominantly Muslim population. In particular, these countries are characterized by a large number of children. Therefore, subject to sufficiently high rates of immigration, in the short and medium term, this may serve as a reserve for the demographic development of host countries. However, it is necessary to take into account the existing objective differences in the ethno-demographic structure of migrants and the local population, the national customs which are common for the countries of origin, the level of education, and a number of other characteristics. This requires European countries to transform approaches to the implementation of migration policy and develop new methods and mechanisms for the adaptation and integration of migrants from Muslim countries.

Factors of national regulation of migration processes efficiency: the case study of people’s Republic of China

Consequently, this issue has also become interesting for economic and sociological research. This article studies today’s peculiarities of internal labor migration in China and analyzes historic and contemporary forms of the migration policy implementation in this country. The author also discusses the major preconditions for its efficiency as well as opportunities for using certain instruments of Chinese migration policy in modernization of Thailand migration policy, taking into account contemporary economic, social and political challenges.

Nexus between Women Labour Migrants, Protection and Policy Implementation: A Study on National Labour Migration Policy Implementation in Sri Lanka

Female labour migration has been recognized as the second largest foreign exchange source of earning where women who are mostly unskilled, low educated or non-educated are part of it. Sri Lanka, being part of labour outsourcing, has introduced the National Labour Migration Policy to protect the migrant workers and their families. Though the policy is largely genderneutral, it addresses specific issues related to women migrant workers who are in the domestic workers' category. Despite the policy being implemented, there is a need to understand why women are still in a vulnerable situation. Thus this study intends to explore the ways in which the National Labour Migration Policy in Sri Lanka ensures the protection of women labour migrants. Qualitative research design and case study strategy were employed in this study. Relevant data and evidence were gathered through interviews with bureaucrats from Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment, returnee migrant women, families of returnee migrant women, local manpower agencies and sub-agents, who are engaged in this migration process. The study argues that women are not protected when there is a negative attitude of street-level bureaucrats towards the target group. This largely ignores the rights of women labour migrants. Moreover, policy action taken irrespectively to the needs and the condition of the women in the society hence policy may not successfully achieve its goals.

Трудовая миграция: российско-китайские отношения

The article considers issues of labor migration, primarily in the light of Russian-Chinese relations. The author emphasizes that quite significant experience in the development and implementation of migration policy has been accumulated in China. For modern Russia, the migration issue is also very relevant. The authors come to the conclusion that there is a need to change migration policies so that labor migration contributes to the development of the Russian labor market, and in this connection measures for mutually beneficial cooperation between China and Russia in the field of migration are proposed.

Understanding Migration: The Case for Public Administration

ABSTRACTMigration has emerged as a key issue for governments in the 21st century. While multiple disciplines address migration, the study of public administration has been slow to do so. Given the complexities of migration policy implementation, and the multiple levels of government involved, public administration can add significantly to the current understandings of the phenomenon. This article examines what is known on migration, what still needs to be understood, and how public administration can assist in understanding migration.
