- Summary/Abstract:The COVID-19 Pandemic caused a great deal of stress and changed our work and private lives forever. Given the volume of infected cases and the death toll since March 2020, the pandemic touched pretty much everybody’s life one way or another. We have seen friends and family falling ill and hospitalised as well as some seeing the worst. Universities and the teaching and research profession in general changed forever and it is already clear there is no going back. The “new normal” will hardly look like what we remember doing a year ago.

- Summary/Abstract:Social identity contributes to build the self-image, generated by the awareness of belonging to a social group, reinforced by the value and the emotional meaning that the individual attributes to his/her belongingness.We present the results of two studies to understand how belonging to a social group can influence the aesthetic evaluations of artworks.These studies suggest how artworks and associated places, such as museums and art galleries, can generate social identity dynamics that influence the way people evaluate and feel about specific works of art and art contexts.

- Keywords:Autoethnographer; migrant artist; art; ethnogrphy; research;
- Summary/Abstract:In this paper I talk about my autoethnographic research as both a migrant artist and an ethnographerworking on the subject of artists’ migration. In particular, I elucidate the connections between myartistic practice and ethnographic research as they have complemented each other during my fieldwork.Such connections have been first thematised by Hal Foster (1995). Foster acknowledges the“ethnographic turn” in contemporary art, which encouraged socially-engaged forms of art. At the sametime, however, Foster finds the fascination of artists with anthropology and the everydayunsubstantiated, and deems related approaches to be “pseudo-ethnographic”. He argues that someartists use “ethnographic self-fashioning” and “self-othering” in order to benefit from being associatedwith a fashionable disadvantaged minority culture or group. So, for Foster the artist as ethnographerappears as an impossible position to occupy.

When the telling of the others begins, we change and with our imagination reality ischanging.

- Summary/Abstract:The aim of this paper is to examine if the experiences with translanguaging as a way of integration in language education, can have a positive influence when applied back in the migrating (home) countries. This is especially relevant for the multicultural countries in the Western Balkans that are affected by migration not only because of economic reasons, but also because of the instability and conflicts between the different nationalities. Sixty (60) university students from Kosovo and North Macedonia participate in the study. Data collection instruments include a questionnaire for students and interviews with university and high school professors.

- Keywords:STEM; skilled migrants; Brazil; earnings;
- Summary/Abstract:In this article, we describe the demographic, human capital and occupational characteristics of immigrants in STEM occupations in Brazil and we address key factors that determine their earnings. The main findings demonstrate the importance of demographic variables in income earned by foreigners. Immigrants, just like native-born Brazilians, face a historical system of discrimination based on gender and ethnoracial hierarchies in the workforce. Moreover, results show that immigrants have higher average earnings compared to native-born Brazilians in STEM occupations. This may be explained by the fact that a greater proportion of immigrants occupy a managerial STEM job.

- Summary/Abstract:2011 yılından bu yana yaşanan Suriye göçünün Türkiye üzerindeki etkisini konu edinen bu çalışmada; göç ile ilgili politikaların eğitime yansımaları, eğitim ve göç politikalarındaki dönüşümü, bu süreci yaşayan bireylerin eğitim koşullarını, bu bireylerin ve eğiticilerin (öğretmenlerin) bu süreci nasıl anlamlandırdıkları ile ilgili kapsamlı sonuçlara ulaşılması amaçlanmıştır. Nitel yöntemle yapılan ve alan araştırmasına dayanan bu çalışma bir sosyolojik bir saha çalışmasıdır. Çalışma kapsamında; Suriye’den farklı yollarla Türkiye’ye gelmiş ve Mardin’in Kızıltepe İlçesinde ikamet eden eğitim çağındaki 20 Suriyeli lise öğrencisi, 6 Suriyeli öğrenci velisi, Suriyeli öğrencilerin dersine giren 5 öğretmen, Suriyeli öğrencilerin eğitim durumlarını koordine eden 3 Suriyeli gönüllü eğitici(koordinatör), Suriyelilerin okudukları okullarda çalışan 5 okul yöneticisi, 2 il-ilçe yönetici ve Suriyelilerle çalışma yürüten 4 Sivil Toplum Kurumu temsilcisi olmak üzere 45 görüşme gerçekleştirilmiştir. İçerik analizi yönteminin kullanıldığı çalışmada, veriler tablolaştırılarak yorumlanmış ve bu bulgular üzerinden kavramsal ve kuramsal bir tartışma yapılmıştır. Göç süreci yetişkinlere kıyasla çocukları çok daha fazla etkileyen bir süreçtir. Suriye’den göç eden mültecilerin yarısına yakını çocuk ve bu çocukların da büyük çoğunluğu okul çağındadır. Göç eden bu kitlenin içerisinde eğitim görmesi gereken önemli bir kitlenin olması sebebiyle karşımıza bu çocukların eğitim sorunu ve dolayısıyla toplumda gelecekte nasıl bir statü kazanacakları meselesi çıkmaktadır. Saha çalışmasını gerçekleştirdiğimiz Kızıltepe’de eğitimine devam eden Suriyeli çocukların eğitim durumlarını incelediğimizde okulda yaşadıkları temel problemin dil ve buna bağlı olarak iletişim sorunu olduğu görülmektedir. Katılımcıların neredeyse tamamı çocukların dil ve buna bağlı olarak iletişim sorunu yaşadığını ifade etmiştir. Bu temel sorunun yanında Suriyeli çocuklar eğitimleri sürecinde, dersleri anlamada güçlük, buna bağlı olarak derslerde başarısızlık, dışlanma ve önyargılara maruz kalma, okul kültürüne uyum sağlayamama gibi pek çok konuda sorun yaşamaktadırlar. Yapılan son değişikliklerle Geçici Eğitim Merkezlerinin (GEM) kapatılıp Suriyelilerin Türkiye’nin devlet okullarındaki eğitim sistemine dahil edilmesi sürecinde sıkıntılar yaşandığı en temelde çocukların uyumuna yönelik kapsamlı bir hazırlık yapılmadığı, öğretmen ve idarecilerin bilgi ve deneyim eksiklikleri, Arapça bilen personelin yok denecek kadar az olması, çocukların iletişim ve Türkçe becerilerinin geliştirilmesi konusundaki zayıflıklar temel sorun alanları olmaya devam ettiği anlaşılmaktadır. Ayrıca, eğitim sürecinde yaşanan sorunların çözümüne yönelik olarak, Türkçe dil kurslarının artırılması, farklı programların uygulanması ve eğitimleri sürecinde mülteci çocuklara uzman desteğinin verilmesi gibi öneriler ön plana çıkmıştır. Ayrıca rehberlik çalışmalarını artırılması, sosyalleşme çalışmalarına ağırlık verilmesi ve okuldaki tüm personele hizmet içi eğitimin verilmesi de Suriyeli öğrencilerin akademik ve sosyal becerilerini geliştirmeleri için elzem önlemler olarak değerlendirilebilir.

- Summary/Abstract:Aim of this study is to analysize ethnicity and identity of second generations children in a peculiar geographical/ethnic context, South Tyrol. Adolescents and young adults from Albanian origin living in South Tyrol represent the main participants interviewed to investigate their process of identity construction. In the analysis their adolescence and their emerging adulthood as well as the emergence of multiple and hybrid belongings have been considered. The findings show that second generations are challenged by creating a new identity, which is not the simple fusion of Italian and Albanian cultural aspects. Furthermore, the specific context of South Tyrol with its history, society and politic, affects the new generations by shaping their identities.

- Summary/Abstract:In times of globalization as well as third decade of 21st century, not only complexity andfragmentation have become crucial topics, but also the challenges of forced migration have turned intoa discursified problem of major importance. According to the United Nations High Commissioner forRefugees (UNHCR), more than two million people have applied as asylum seekers in Europe in 2015(UNHCR, 2015). At the same time, the number of anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim parties worldwideas well as in Europe increased. Research on media and political discourse shows, that media and pressbring forth negative news about refugees and migrants, especially around Muslim people (Wodak,2015). While the term ‘refugee crises’ was coined by the media and in politics, the debates onintercultural opening of organizations became an academically addressed issue, too (Göhlich, 2012).

- Summary/Abstract:This paper proposes a response to the refugee crisis in Liverpool, UK, examining the degree to which the built environment can bridge differences between host and refugee. It is based on a British policy giving refugees 28 days to turn things around, from utter strangers to functional citizens. This is limited and if not augmented could fail and yield more frustrations than success. The proposal takes the 28 days and reprograms them along an itinerary with which to foster mutual forms of appreciation. It relies on the theory of the “dérive;” but also scale and recent developments in an app.

- Summary/Abstract:The purpose of this study was to investigate home-school relations when migrant pupils experience academic adversities in Bavarian primary schools. A multiple case study design was used to observe the perspectives of parents and teachers. Guided by organizational communication theory and a respective transactional school-home-school (TSHS) model, findings indicated that marginalized families faced various barriers to educational decision-making. Where lacking parent-teacher communication seemed to ignite uncertainties about migrant pupils’ educational needs, this study advocates that TSHS problem-solving might help teachers better address and support students’ issues within general classrooms.

- Summary/Abstract:Refugee and asylum-seeking students (RAS) face various challenges in accessing and excelling in the British educational system. Refugee-background students are entitled to attend mainstream, formal education, but there are no clearly defined educational policies that address their specific needs. There are still notable gaps in the literature highlighting the distinctions between the specific needs of refugee-background students from the needs of other groups and of their experiences of schooling. This study has been designed to investigate RAS students’ experiences and perspectives of education in England. It has been necessary to find a theoretical framework that accounts for the impact of culture and integration policies on teaching and learning in diverse classrooms.

- Summary/Abstract:As a consequence of growing refugee movement following Syrian refugee crisis, refugee integration has started to be discussed again in Europe. In this paper I seek to examine structural integration of highly educated Syrian refugees in the UK by using part of the Ager and Strang integration framework to understand the role of facilitators and citizenship. The semi-structured interviews conducted with 20 highly educated Syrian refugees living in the UK. The findings indicate that language skills and higher education environment facilitate structural integration. However, citizenship is considered as a tool and reward for integration.

Suriyelilere Irak, Afganistan ve Afrikalıların da eklenerek Akdeniz’de tehlikeli bir yolculuğu tercih ederek Avrupa’ya sığınma çabaları, bütün dünyayı ilgilendiren insani bir dram haline gelmiştir.Mültecilerin kontrolsüz bir şekilde yöneldiği Avrupa Birliği ülkelerindeki var olma mücadeleleri, F.Almanya özelinde tebliğimizde ele alınacaktır. Önceki yıllarda Müslüman göçmenlerin uyum süreci deneyimlerini yaşayan AB ülkelerinin bu yeni durum karşısında nasıl bir gündemle soruna yaklaşabildiği, mültecilerin buradaki geleceğini de yakından ilgilendirmektedir. AB ülkeleri arasında F.Almanya, önemli sayıda mülteci kabulü ve onların entegrasyon deneyimlerine katkı sağlama programı uygulayan yönüyle olumlu bir örnek olarak kabul edilmektedir. Mültecilerin büyük çoğunluğunun Müslüman oluşu, göçmenlere karşı son yıllarda tırmanan islamofobik yaklaşımların artmasını tetiklemektedir. Bu kapsamda mültecilerin yeni yaşam dünyalarında karşılaşabilecekleri sorunlar nedeniyle yönelebileceği radikal İslami gruplarla olabilecek bağlantıların, Avrupa’daki Müslümanların

- Summary/Abstract:The League of Nations was the first 'world organisation' an international organisation to promote international co-operation and world peace. One of its areas of engagement was the technical activity of minority protection. This paper will analyse the League's efforts to address the 'Jewish problem' – the countless refugees fleeing Nazi-Germany. The League did not only provide a platform for its member states but also enabled non-member states to participate in and engage with certain aspects of its activities. Consequently, the paper asks how states that chose not to be members of the League of Nations contribute to - or sabotage - the League's efforts to alleviate the refugee crisis.

- Summary/Abstract:Salonikan Jewry dispersed greatly throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. The paper will focus on periodization and settlement patterns. From 1840 to the end of the 19th century, Salonikan families came with capital, merchandise, and established businesses and institutions in the Old City of Jerusalem and expanded settlement to new neighborhoods in the Western part of the city. At the end of the 19th century and first decade of the 20th century as the Ottoman empire was disbanding, in the face of economic and political uncertainty, and the possibility of forced conscription in light of the 1908 Young Turk Revolution, Salonikan Jewish migration ensued to the United States, and much less to Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil. When Salonika became Greek, in 1912, migration continued to the USA and England due to Greek troop violence, the large 1917 fire leaving 55,000 Jews homeless and the Venizelos regime shafting the Jews on indemnities, and a 1920 separate electoral college to block Jewish weight in national elections. The 1924-5 anti-Sabbath legislation prompted migration to Eretz-Israel, and after the 1931 anti-Semitic Campbell riots, 15,000 Jews migrated to Paris, Lyons, and Marseilles, France, and 18,000 Jews to Tel Aviv, and Haifa. In the Holocaust 54,000 of 56,000 Jews were annihilated in Auschwitz, Treblinka, and elsewhere. After the war, 4 illegal immigration boats took Salonikan and Greek survivors to Eretz-Israel in 1945-6, and after 3 years of civil war, in 1951 the United States enabled Greek survivors migrate to United States without being included in the Greek quota.

- Summary/Abstract:The purpose of this paper is to bring to light Italian Scottish literary accounts of World War II. This was the time when Italian immigrants were “enemy aliens” and victims of sheer violence and racism: Joe Pieri (1918-2012), Ann Marie Di Mambro (1949―), Anne Pia (1951―) and Mary Contini (1961―) confirm that in 1940-1945 they could only become socially “invisible” and “neutralise difference by silence”. Rooted in the latest research in the field of Italian migration to Scotland, our intertextual path will include samples of ‘hybrid’ prose, verse and drama which have long been neglected. At the time of the 1940-2020 celebrations in the UK we shall see that they retain a special literary and historical significance, while promoting respect for otherness and social inclusiveness.

Müslümanlar Endülüs’ü ve Sicilya’yı fethettikten sonra doğudaki bilgiyi Avrupa’ya tanıtarak, buraları bir ilim merkezi ve bilimin batıya aktarılmasında bir köprü vazifesi görmesini sağlamışlardır. Batılılar bundan faydalanmak ve Arapça öğrenmek için Avrupa’dan birçok insan eğitim görmek üzere bu bölgelere akın etmişlerdir. Bu süreçte hakim bilim dili Arapça’dan Batı dillerine bir çok kelime geçmiştir. Örneğin sadece İspanyolca’da 7 bin kadar Arapça kökenli kelime bulunmaktadır.

- Summary/Abstract:This study focuses on the coping and experiences of Ethiopian-Israeli women during their studies for advanced degrees, and describes the elements of success and the unique barriers that they face. The literature review presents the intersecting identity approach, which was formed by American scholars and was adapted to the Israeli case. We emphasize the challenges of the gender-race combination, assuming that these two identity factors cannot be disconnected here and that their combination creates unique challenges. Various emotional, cognitive, mental, social, economic and cultural aspects of the Ethiopian immigration to Israel and their significance, separately and combined, are considered as the background of the women’s intersecting identity. The research method was qualitative, and included ten semi-open interviews with women who had PhDs or were in various stages of acquiring advanced degrees. Our findings indicate that barriers that are unique to women who cope with an intersecting identity can be identified and defined. The barriers are varied – from lack of information about the requirements of the Israeli academic system, to coping with emotional and conflictual overload due to their desire to study and their inability to support their family of origin whether financially or emotionally, to an absence of instrumental resources to fund their studies. Coping with their intersecting identity vis-à-vis the academic system was characterized by mental resilience thanks to their personality characteristics, self-confidence, curiosity, and aspiration to develop and succeed together with their considerable ability to adapt to the various demands presented to them and to excel in their achievements. The conclusions of the study focus on the changes that happened in their life: the awareness to promote the representation of Ethiopian-Israeli women in academia, and to create a supportive environment on the personal and academic level. These women can serve as role-models and Mentors for other women in the Ethiopian-Israeli community and for women from other minority groups, and facilitate a pluralistic, multicultural academic system. Additionally, the structural and social barriers should be removed through promoting awareness and policies of equality and fair distribution of public resources.

- Summary/Abstract:In the twentieth century, various opinions on birth phenomenon are encountered including views that saw birth practices and belief as reflections of undisputedly accepted cultural patterns, but also views, who defined birth as a field in which the production, reproduction and resilience of culture emerge and the need to evaluate all these historically within the context of a unique political and economic relations, appear. (Van Hollen , 1994) However, birth in its simplest form is a phenomenon. Fertility simply refers to the frequency of live births. Consequently, the issue of "safety" based on birth, fertility and motherhood came to the fore.

- Summary/Abstract:The local autonomous entity started to organize the marriage for bachelors from a rural area in the early ’90s in Korea. The government encouraged them to get married to women from Southeast Asian countries including Philippines, Vietnam, and Cambodia to support the group of bachelors to keep their legacy and to foster the population increase in the rural area. Since then, a large number of women flushed into South Korean society and this new tendency yields the social phenomenon from cross-border marriage. According to the Korean Social Trend 2008, cross-border marriage had faced the turning point in 1992 when the establishment of diplomatic tied between South Korea and China (Yoon, 2008) . Especially, the choseonjok, , Chinese ethnic minority group, immigrated to South Korea to being married Korean bachelors. After the 2000s, the number of cross-border marriages had significantly increased and the countries of origin of the immigrant women had also diversified. In 2005, cross-border marriages composed 13.6% (Korea National Statistical Office, 2019) of the overall marriages in Korea. The media started to cover cross-border marriage as a subject of social issue in the Korean society. The problem of buying a bride, domestic violence, the integration problem of foreign women, and running away after obtaining Korean citizenship have been stereotyped and portrayed through the media. Until now, the dysfunctional aspects of cross-border marriage have been highlighted more than its proper functional aspects. These biased media outlets are not the recent tendency but developed and continued during the history of cross-border marriages in Korea. This marriage started after the Korean War when the U.S Army base stationed in Korea. The military camp town had been constructed and the Korean residents in camp town relied economically on this army base. The women in economic crisis were flushed into this town for prostitution, and were called yanggongju (western princess). For them, marrying an American soldier was one of the approaches to escape from their difficult economic situation. According to the Korea Social Trend 2008, from 1950 to 1964, around 6000 Korean women had emigrated to the U.S as brides of American soldiers (Yoon, 2008) . The news media focused on the situation after this marriage and how they are miserable in their marriage life with foreign husbands by representing there situation as “lost their hope and return to their land.” (Chosun Ilbo 23rd July 1954) . Since the Korean War to today, the media does not concentrate on the cross-border marriage itself but rather emphasizes the representation of the women who choose to emigrate/immigrate to other countries. In the context of this social phenomenon, by chronologically analyzing the articles of media; Korean daily newspaper Chosun Ilbo (The Chosun Daily), from 1952 to today, this paper defines how the media outlet represents the female migrants of cross-border marriages in Korean society.

- Summary/Abstract:This paper discusses the impact of the Syrian refugee problem in the Middle East and Europe, with special reference to cases in Jordan, Germany and Sweden. It argues the kind of roles refugees’ belongingness has played in the context of the Syrian refugee crisis and their settlement afterward. This research is based on fieldwork conducted since 2017, particularly interview surveys with Syrian refugees and mosque officials in these countries. From a cross-regional perspective, this paper points out that local support for refugees based on cultural and religious belongingness complements the refugees’ sustainable “humanosphere.”

- Summary/Abstract:This paper seeks to identify some aspects of migration cooperation between the Visegrád Group and Western Balkans countries during the European migrant crisis of 2015. The considerations behind this paper are motivated by the empirical evidence that the cooperation between the two regions is essential to tackling the migration issues. Indeed, the cooperation and harmonization between the different approaches can be a plausible solution to improve the management of the issues raised from migration. However, it seems that the cooperation could only be adequately achieved with the enlargement of the EU to include the countries of the Western Balkans, mainly Serbia and the Republic of Macedonia.

- Summary/Abstract:Widespread public and academic discourses have recently framed forced migration in Europe in terms of crisis. The notion of “crisis” assumes novelty, exceptionality, and urgency, and thus replaces in-depth, contextualized analysis with rapid responses. This paper acknowledges the pitfalls of crisis-driven migration research. Based on an ethnographic research with Kurdish and left-wing political exiles from Turkey in Greece, it shows that specific historical context and people’s political subjectivities crucially shape experiences of refugeehood under the general conditions of the European migration regime. This way, the paper challenges the stereotypical imagination of “refugee experience” as universal and exceptional.

- Summary/Abstract:The media, in general, have the power to frame public policy and discourse about several subjects such as immigrants and refugees (Esses et. All. 2013, p. 520). It provides the information with which citizens shape their understanding of the world and their place within it (Berry et. All. 2015, p.5). For instance, the mass media has an important role in the anxiety of elites and the public toward immigrants and refugees by setting agendas and framing debates (Berry et. All. 2015, p.5).

- Summary/Abstract:This article, based on 18 months of fieldwork in Lebanon and Germany, proposes a theoretical conceptualization of the interactions between agency, structure, and reflexivity in displacement. The research on which this paper is based looks at Syrian displaced families and explores the specificities of refugees’ agency. I argue that the specific conditions within which Syrian refugees act in Lebanon and Germany make them experience a suspended life. This condition is expressed by the concept of ‘liminality’, which functions as a non-structure and creates a framework in which alternative dimensions of agency and reflexivity can be exercised.

- Summary/Abstract:From the second half of the 20th century until today, more than five million Turkish citizens immigrated to Europe as a result of particular political and economic reasons. Turkish communities in Western European countries have evolved over the years and gained a diasporic character. During the last decade, a similar process has been observed for the Turkish immigrants in Greece on a small-scale. Concerning this new social phenomenon, this paper seeks to investigate dimensions of this small-scale immigration wave from Turkey to Greece to understand what the push and the pull factors of this immigration wave are and what kind of transnational community is emerging in Greece. This paper also questions whether the Turkish community has the intention of being localized in Greece by evolving a diasporic community. The analysis will be resting upon both the questionnaire which was conducted for profiling the Turkish citizens living in Greece and existing few online sources published as well as personal observations in the field between the years 2011 and 2017.

- Summary/Abstract:This paper illustrates how and why a growing number of Chinese migrants move back to China and what social influences they have on both host and home countries. While categorising various determinants for return migration, I argue that these determinants are not only economic but also environmental and cultural, especially for certain groups of migration. This paper also examines whether the degree of migrants’ integration in host countries such as Spain or the United States is a dominant factor in return migration through interviews with migrants from the Wenzhou region in South China during the reform period. With comparisons between different Wenzhou migration groups, the regulation of informal economic activities and other policies in host countries is to show to potentially induce return migration and thus cause adverse consequences for the host countries. Therefore, how to make full use of highly-accumulated human capital brought by (return) migration mainly depends on relevant policies in both host and home countries. In recent years, China has come to the forefront of the global competition for talent by exploring effective mechanisms to deal with its increased migrants and return ones, while the Western countries appear to be struggling with their migration issues.

- Summary/Abstract:The origins of geographical mobility from Ukraine to Hungary can be traced back a long time and has been associated primarily with the movements of ethnic Hungarians in Transcarpathia. Most recent developments of this migration system however suggest that the above assumption might become overturned. This paper, instead of searching explanations for the changing patterns, aims at reviewing most recent statistical data to shed light on the details of the new features of the immigration from Ukraine as a whole towards Hungary.

- Summary/Abstract:Philippine is the highest labour exporter among its neighbours in the East and South-East Asia (Pratt, 2018). Consequently, diaspora Filipinos send about 34 billion USD as remittances from around the world making Philippine the third highest remittance receiver in the world just behind India and Mexico (Bank, 2019). Therefore, remittances play an important role in Philippines households. After analysis of 17 papers, which focus on this issue, positive and negative sides of remittances; to Philippines households are highlighted.

- Summary/Abstract:In migration research involving foreign migrant workers, the often ‘seen’ aspect is the determinants of migration, migration processes and patterns, income earned and the remittances made. However, there is another dimension of migration and remittances that often receive less or no attention which is the ‘unseen’ aspect. The ‘unseen’ aspect is related more to the sacrifices made by foreign migrant workers which underlies the determinants of migration, migration processes and pattern, income earned and remittances made. The sacrifices made by foreign migrant workers often receive less attention in previous studies despite the sacrifices made by them are instrumental to the social and economic well-being of the migrant workers and their families. Foreign migrant workers are willing to make various sacrifices because their goal is to maximize the remittances made to their home countries. The income earned by foreign migrant workers has two main uses namely for expenditure and savings purposes. The savings made while working abroad are the money which is sent by South Asian migrant workers in the present study to their home countries as remittances. This implies that the more the sacrifices are made, the higher will be the amount saved, therefore the higher will be the remittances made to their home countries.

It is a city of the Vardar river, which is called Second Bosphorus, a social area where different ethnicities and religions live in a multicultural spirit for centuries. There is no doubt that Pax Ottomana and its spirit of millets has it influence and plays a very important role in the protection of the living mosaic up today. For centuries Istanbul is very relevant item for citizens of Europe [Majority of the international visitors visiting Turkey and Istanbul (%73) is the Europeans. (Kerimoglu-Ciraci, 2006: 4)] Balkan, i.e. Macedonia, especially for muslim community; in the period of dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, of the Balkan wars and in communist era, the Albanian, Bosniak, Torbesh and Turk community of ex-Yugoslavia permanently looked for methods to emigrate in Turkey, and after the communism, they see Istanbul as an attractive megalopolis or megacity (Elchinova, 2017) with modern and dynamic nature, as destination for tourism, from cultural to medical (Mihailović, 2016), for their economic activities, for education of the young etc. This paper deals with the reasons of the istanbulocentrism of Macedonian citizens. The method used in this paper is descriptive-docummentary, interviews with the respondents that tend to give a clear picture of using the tourism road Skopje-Istanbul and vice versa.

- Summary/Abstract:When the words ‘care’ and ‘transnational migration’ are used in one sentence, what typically comes to mind are migrants – usually women – who move to another country in order to care for children or elderly people there because the latter’s own family are in a more advantageous position and have other priorities. In view of the constantly increasing movement of foreign health, residential and domestic care workers to rapidly-aging upper- and middle-income countries, researchers have developed the concept of global care chains (Hochschild 2000, Parreñas 2005, Yeates 2009). Defined as “a series of personal links between people across the globe based on the paid or unpaid work of caring” (Hochschild 2000: 131), the chain extracts physical and emotional labor upwards to the Global North (or, the core), leaving the Global South (or, the periphery) as a reservoir of care workers (Yeates 2009, Raghuram, Bornat & Henry 2011). These chains “cascade downwards and incorporate labor that at each stage is remunerated to lesser extent” (Kofman & Raghuram 2012: 8). For instance, a woman in a poor country migrates from the big city to a wealthy country to work as a domestic maid; she, in turn, relies on another woman from the countryside to migrate to the big city to care for her children and/or elderly parents in her absence; she, in turn, relies on (female) relatives to care for her own children and/or elderly parents back in the countryside. As Ormond & Toyota (2018) point out, care deficits are passed downward in distinctly gendered, racialized and classed manners.

- Summary/Abstract:Although many national states, international organisations e.g. the United Nations (UN), International Organisation for Migration (IOM), Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and NGOs, have been collecting data on international migration, the gaps in data persisted for many decades. In the recent years, there have been, to some extent, improvements in the availability, quality and comparability of data on international migration [1]. The UN gathered and made the estimates of migrant stock disaggregated by age, sex, origin and destination available for over 230 countries and areas in the world, covering from 1990 to 2019 [2]. Additionally, the European Commission and the Council agreed on an action plan in 2005 to take measures to improve the common analysis of migratory phenomena in all their aspects such as reinforcing the collection, provision, exchange and efficient use of up to date information and data [3].

- Summary/Abstract:The future of any state including the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), and other states in Russia's influence zone, depends on young people, their way of life and attitudes. The best young men and women are often taken away by “brain drain”, but the “iron curtain” is useless since the experience of studying and working abroad can help to work in one’s home state (Iontsev et al. 2017). Also, if a migrant returns, marrying a foreigner will at least to some extent improve the demographic situation in the country (Uzkaya 2018: 248, 257). Therefore, studying the migration of young people and how to regulate its flows is an extremely crucial issue.

- Summary/Abstract:The worryingly high unemployment rate of youth in North Macedonia and not satisfactory working conditions for those who are employed creates the dilemma for many young people when they finish their education-should I stay or should I go? However, not everyone leaves for only economic reasons. Many young people emigrate because of lack of perspective in their home country. Using survey data this study investigates the factors affecting student’s decision on migration. This paper contributes to wider debates about youth emigration and in particular student migration in North Macedonia. On the basis of the findings we propose policy recommendations for reforming labour market by taking into consideration the two-dimensionality of ‘brain drain’, both positive and negative aspects. By generating new and better paid jobs and the more information they receive on employment opportunities in their field of expertise, better recreation opportunities, and more engagement in the community the more feasible it will be for young people to take the decision to stay and those abroad to return.
