Beyond Walls and Tariffs: Responding to Migration Challenges at the U.S.-Mexico Border
11:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m., Tuesday, July 9, 2019
American Enterprise Institute, Auditorium
1789 Massachusetts Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20036
http://www.aei.org/events/beyond-walls-and-tariffs-responding-to-migration-challenges-at-the-us-mexico-border/
Description: Illegal crossings at the US-Mexico border are at the highest level in more than a decade. President Trump has responded with increasingly dramatic steps, including threatening debilitating tariffs on Mexican exports and the elimination of aid to Central America. At the same time, heightened political polarization undermines the US government’s ability to adequately address the complex challenge of illegal immigration with practical policies and bipartisan legislation.
Join AEI and the Migration Policy Institute for a conversation on border security, as well as policy responses and regional cooperation on illegal immigration.
Join the conversation on social media with @AEI on Twitter and Facebook.

Certificate in International Migration Studies
XCPD-713 - Global Governance of Refugees and Immigrants
Course Details: While international agreements facilitate the relatively free movement of goods, services, and capital across borders, multilateral agreements on the movement of people are much less developed. This course will begin with an examination of global governance concepts and international regimes and the relationship between global governance of migration and other international issues, such as sovereignty, security, and north-south power differentials. The course will then look at the principal normative frameworks, actors and ‘rules of the game’ for governance of both refugee response and migration. The role of governments of both migrant-sending and migrant-receiving states will be analyzed as well as key international actors such as the International Organization for Migration, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, civil society actors, regional organizations and processes and other international bodies, such as the Global Forum on Migration and Development. The emergence of mini-multilateral initiatives, particularly Migrants in Countries in Crisis and the Platform for Disaster Displacement, will be assessed as possible alternatives to comprehensive, binding legal regimes. Particular attention will be devoted to the implementation of the unanimous decision in 2016 by the UN General Assembly to negotiate two new global compacts: a Global Compact on Refugees and a Global Compact on Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration. The course will be taught by an interdisciplinary team of social
Objectives:
At the completion of the course, a successful student will be able to:
* Outline concepts of global governance and international regimes;
* Present trends in global migration, including forced and voluntary migration;
* Examine the role of sovereignty, security concerns and north-south power differentials in shaping multilateral approaches to migration;
* Compare international regimes for migration and refugees and the reasons for these differences, including mini-multilateral initiatives;
* Classify the principal actors in the international migration and refugee regimes, regional organizations and processes, and other international initiatives;
* Predict the impact around the establishment of a new Global Compact on Refugees and on Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.

14th Summer Institute on Migration and Global Health
Wednesday-Friday, July 10–13, 2019
The California Endowment Center for Healthy Communities (Wednesday-Thursday)
2000 Franklin Street, Oakland, CA 94612
University of California Berkeley, School of Public Health (Friday)
2121 Berkeley Way #5302, Berkeley, CA 94720
https://hia.berkeley.edu/summer-institute-on-migration-health/
Description: The Annual Summer Institute on Migration and Global Health is an event that has gained national and international recognition, since it is one of the few academic spaces dedicated to present and analyze in depth the interrelation between migration, the health of migrants, and global health from a multi-disciplinary perspective. The Summer Institute provides researchers, faculty, graduate students, and professionals working with migrant communities around the world, a unique opportunity to learn about different health issues that affect mobile populations.
The four-day event includes a combination of lectures, panel discussions, hand-on workshops, poster sessions, and field trips, to offer an exceptional opportunity not only to learn, but also to create professional networks. Nationally and internationally recognized experts teach the relationship between migration and global health from a public health, public policy, and clinical perspective, among others.
Today, more than ever, we need to have a better understanding of the health effects of migration, and improve the skills of those individuals dedicated to conducting research, impacting policies, and improving health services related to migration and global health. We hope to see you at the 14th Annual Summer Institute on Migration and Global Health, which will be held in Oakland and Berkeley, California, from July 10 to 13, 2019.
This year, for the first time we will be offering live-streaming options for those who cannot attend in person. This service will provide access to the morning lectures from Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. For more information visit: MigrationAndGlobalHealth.org

On the Wrong Path? Protecting the European Union’s External Border in the Western Balkans
9:00 a.m. ET, Monday, July 15, 2019
MPI Europe Webinar
https://www.migrationpolicy.org/events/european-union-external-border-western-balkans
Description: The European Union’s more stringent controls on its external border are having serious effects for its near neighbors. In Bosnia, thousands of people trying to make their way to EU Member States last year had their paths blocked at the Croatian border. Many spent the winter in Bosnia, a country ill-equipped to deal with their needs. Bosnian authorities have struggled to adapt, even with help from international agencies and the European Union, with whom they signed an agreement in January to facilitate joint operations and so-called "rapid border interventions."
With thousands more migrants potentially traveling through the Western Balkans this year, this MPI Europe webinar will explore the implications of the buttressed EU border on the bloc’s neighbors. Is this another example of the European Union outsourcing its toughest political issues on migration control? How can the European Union support efforts to address irregular migration in neighboring countries, many of which are already struggling with complex economic and political challenges? If the incoming crop of EU leaders continues these policies, what are the tradeoffs and considerations that they must weigh? Experts on this webinar will address these and other questions.
Speakers:
Karen Mets, Senior Advocacy Adviser, Asylum and Migration/Children on the Move, Save the Children International
Joachim Roth, EU Project Officer, Network of Associations of Local Authorities in South-East Europe (NALAS)
Peter Van der Auweraert, Western Balkans Coordinator, Representative/Chief of Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina, International Organization for Migration (IOM)

Hanne Beirens, Acting Director, Migration Policy Institute (MPI) Europe

Migration Data and Models for a Better World: Perspectives from Academia, Data Science, and International Organizations
Migration plays a central role in population processes, becoming an increasingly important component of social, economic and political change across the globe. Given its often unjust causes and socially transformative consequences to origin and destination communities alike, migration continues to demand the scholarly attention of sociologists, especially those invested in overcoming social injustices. However, despite the growing importance of migration phenomena, migration data remain expensive and difficult to collect. Different institutions use different definitions to meet their various needs, and time after time difficulties comparing data across context limit wider understanding.
The goal of this preconference is to facilitate a conversation about improving migration data by bringing sociologists familiar with the conceptual pitfalls of migration research together with two groups: (1) data scientists with strategies for inferring migration from new forms of digital data and (2) representatives from international organizations (like the UN, located in New York City) with specific needs for particular kinds of migration estimates.
This interdisciplinary conversation will be organized around three substantive issues in migration data and measurement. First, there is a need for data than can improve the lives of migrants. Understanding the conditions migrants face is a key priority of the UN’s Global Compact on Migration. Second, there is a need to better understand the uses of migration data by government and the salience of migration data to the public. Preventing distorted views that may lead to unjust immigration restrictions or violence against migrants requires research into how data are interpreted and shared. Third, there is a need for comprehensive tools for comparing different kinds of migration data. Sociologists, in particular, can help international organization and data scientists decide how to prioritize the types of data that are most useful to understand societal processes and migration.

Diaspora and Homeland
Thursday-Friday, October 10-11, 2019
Zagreb, Croatia
https://croatiandiasporacentre.com/english/
Description: In today’s globalized world we are witness to the fact that, as never before in history, diasporas have a major role in the political, ecoonomic, cultural, religious, social and sporting life of their countries of origin. The fact that over 258 million people live outside of their country of birth and that they send more than 625 billion dollars in remittances to their country of origion perhaps best illustrates the huge potential of diasporas for their home countries. While the major focus of diasporas and homeland is on their remittances, there are many examples of how diasporas can and do through their various activities contribute to the advancement and success of their homelands both internally and in foreign affairs.
One such example which illustrates the success of a diaspora in creating economic success in the homeland is that of Chilean immigrants who returned to their homeland at the call of then Chilean leader Pinochet. These returning immigrants brought their know-how and experience to practically empower in a short period of time the economic upturn of the Chilean economy.The recent world cup of football in Russia is another example of diaspora contributions to homeland. Many football teams had diaspora players as part of their starting lineups. The best example of this was the Croatian national team which played in the finals of the world cup and which had two thirds of its players born outside of Croatia. These examples not only manifest on the one hand the strength and power of diasporas, but on the other hand also evidence of its huge potential and role in the developmental strategy of their countries of origin. Following the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, millions of citizens of Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia and other countries of the former Yugoslavia moved to the more developed countries of the democratic world, especially Europe. Faced with this new process of emigration, these countries were overnight faced with the task of developing national strategies and programs of cooperation between diaspora communities and their homelands.
In light of this new situation and the relations between diaspora and homeland, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in 2015 accepted Resolution 2043 titled “Democratic participation for migrant diasporas”. Among other things this resolution recommended that its members introduce policies which would facilitate diaspora members’ involvement in political life, review national legislation with a view to granting special status to members of diasporas in their countries of origin and facilitating the return process where appropriate, and promote diaspora members’ contribution to the development of their country of origin through the transfer of their knowledge, education and experience. The main focus of the conference is to examine the strategies and programs of individual countries towards their diasporas and in turn the relationships of diaspora with their home countries.
Conference themes include:
1. Diaspora relations – government
2. State policy and practice relating to the diaspora
3. The return of emigrants and their integration into the country of origin – success or failure
4. Direct diaspora investments
5. The influence of the diaspora on the country of origin
6. Immigrant tourism
7. Diaspora in international relations
8. Diaspora as a safety factor
9. Diaspora – media, radio programs, newspapers and publications
10. Emigrant literature
The conference organisers would like to emphasise that presenters have the opportunity to present on a different theme that is related to the general purpose.
