A Continent Moving West?" argues that the conceptualization of migration as a one-way or long-term process is becoming increasingly wide of the mark. Rather, east-west labor migration in Europe, in common perhaps with other flows in and from other parts of the world, is diverse, fluid, and influenced by the dynamics of local and sector-specific labor markets and migration-related political regulations. The papers in this book contribute to cri...

Een onderzoek naar het veranderende karakter van religie in Noordwest EuropaDaar waar aangenomen werd dat er in Noordwest Europa religie door de jaren heen steeds minder invloed zou krijgen, wordt nu deze stelling meer en meer betwist. In plaats van geleidelijk te verdwijnen, is godsdienst subjectiever, persoonlijk geworden en wordt gevormd door persoonlijke ervaringen. Dit boek richt zich op het laten begrijpen van deze veranderingen in godsd...

Over the past decade there have been significant advances in the field of migration and ethnic studies, ranging in topic from ethnic conflict and discrimination to nationalism, citizenship, and integration policy. But many of these studies are oriented towards the United States, slighting, when not outright ignoring, the European perspective. This volume--the first in a set of four--will fill this research gap, gathering essays that have set a...

Because borders alone cannot stop irregular migration, the European Union is turning more and more to internal control measures. Through surveillance, member states aim to exclude irregular migrants from societal institutions, thereby discouraging their stay or deporting those who are apprehended. And yet, states cannot expel immigrants who remain anonymous. Identification has thus become key. Breaking Down Anonymity shows how digital surveill...

Denial was measured at different time points in the course of the disease. The key-finding from this ...

This charmingly volume is the first bilingual...

Youngest Recruits" is an unflinching examination of the complex motivations that drive Ivoirian children in and out of armed groups. Drawing on firsthand experience with child soldiers, Magali Chelpi-Den Hamer argues that the popular narrative about children's limited agency is insufficient to explain their participation in violent conflicts. Rather she explores in detail the pre- to postwar trajectories of child and adolescent recruits in ord...
