Migration scholars have tended to portray internal mobility as a step toward broader cross-border movement, reinforcing the notion of ongoing progress toward international migration. This article argues for a need to recognize how internal mobility can also explain international immobility, or why people do not move across national borders. Using the case of Filipino nurses, we argue that while internal migration does allow aspiring migrants to build the potential ability to emigrate, individual trajectories are much more diverse and multi-directional, often prolonging or reinforcing their international immobility. As a result, and in our case study, the costs and burdens of constant internal movement can also alter nurses’ migration aspirations, prompting them to either alter their original goals or acquiesce to their inability to leave their origin countries. This article calls for migration scholarship to address not only a “mobility bias” within the field but also the over-focus on international migration, rather than internal mobility, as a subject of study.

Cross Border Movement

This article develops a concept of transnational civil dis/obedience. It provides a framework for interpreting and evaluating practices of cross-border movement by citizens and migrants, who mobilize international or supranational law to sidestep and challenge domestic rules deemed illegitimate. Such acts are made possible by, but also enact, complex, overlapping and competing legal orders in Europe and elsewhere. In contrast to analyses stressing the private and market-based nature of these actions, the conceptual lens introduced here draws out their potentially civic and political character. To construct and illustrate my argument, I engage with an in-depth case study of EU citizenship and cross-border movement in the area of marriage migration, where individual liberty and political membership are fiercely contested. The paper draws on narrative interviews with Danish-international couples who in response to Denmark’s restrictive family unification rules have used EU-law to protest against what they see as unjust interference in their private lives.

Depth Interviews

The phenomenon of migration is not new and there are many reasons behind this emigration; achieving higher socio-economic status is one of them. In developing countries like Pakistan, poverty is one of the major root causes of emigration. There are some districts of Punjab from where the masses have the trend to migrate. This study addresses the impacts of international migration on families left behind in Dhamial, District Rawalpindi. In-depth interviews were conducted, however data was quantified around positive and negative socioeconomic impacts on families left behind. The evidence showed both positive and negative impacts of international migration. The flow of remittances influences the life of people in positive way and it assisted in improving the socio-economic status of the families. However, there are many other serious problems faced by the families left behind.

This study compares determinants of internal and international migration intentions, drawing upon interview data from a sample of adults in Ilocos Norte, a largely rural province in the Philippines. A regression model is applied to test the relative determinants of intentions to migrate to Manila and to Hawaii. The study is based on a value-expectancy model of migration decision making. The results document the importance of subjective expectations related to the attainment of different values and goals in Manila and Hawaii.

And Migration

The distribution of foreigners is becoming an essential part of the sociogeographical differentiation of Czechia. In addition to international migration, the spatial distribution pattern of foreigners are further modified according to their internal mobility, which, compared to the Czech population, is much higher. This mobility is influenced by the precise position of foreigners in the labour market and their increased flexibility. Prague is the most attractive centre for international migration. It functions as a gateway city and represents the most important target for the internal migration of foreigners as well. The results of quantitative analysis show possible trends in regional differences in net migration and the reasons behind these processes, including primarily economic factors.

Historically, little beer has crossed national borders, and the notion of small, locally oriented breweries exploring international operations seems unlikely. Yet, the market for craft beer has changed tremendously since the 1970s, and international linkages have played an important role in these changes. While the most immediate cross-border manifestation of these connections is exports, this chapter argues for a broader conceptualization of this development. The very fact that the terms “craft beer” and “craft brewery” are commonplace throughout the beer world can be taken as examples of an internationalization process which also includes fundamental steps such as the global diffusion of beer styles and brewing techniques. To help illustrate this process, the chapter develops a case study examining the evolution of craft beer in the United States.
