Η διαχείριση της έξαρσης των μεταναστευτικών ροών από το 2015 και ειδικότερα της παράτυπης εισόδου και διαμονής χιλιάδων νέοεισερχομένων ατόμων στην Ελλάδα συνεπάγονται σημαντικές προκλήσεις για την εθνική μεταναστευτική πολιτική. Η μακρά πορεία νομοθετικών παρεμβάσεων για τη ρύθμιση της παράτυπης μετανάστευσης στη χώρα γνωρίζει πολύ πρόσφατα έναν νέο σταθμό, την επινόηση της παρα-νομιμότητας. Πρόκειται για τη νομοθετική αναγνώριση μιας νέας κατηγορίας μεταναστών στο ενδιάμεσο των έως σήμερα κατοχυρωμένων στη θεωρία τυποποιήσεων με κριτήριο την ειδική εκδοχή της νομιμότητας στη διαμονή. Οι διατυπώσεις των νέων ρυθμίσεων, αφενός εγγράφονται στο πλαίσιο της αναβίωσης μιας παραδοσιακά εργασι- οκεντρικής θεώρησης της μεταναστευτικής πολιτικής και αφετέρου, επικυρώνουν εκ νέου την κρατική επιλογή της διακριτικής μεταχείρισης στην αγορά εργασίας σε βάρος των μεταναστών εργαζομένων με άξονα υποκειμενικά χαρακτηριστικά.

The Uk

The independent Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) was created in 2007 after a decade in which the share of foreign-born workers in the British labour force doubled to 13 per cent. The initial core mandate of the MAC was to provide “independent, evidence-based advice to government on specific skilled occupations in the labour market where shortages exist which can sensibly be filled by migration.” The MAC's answers to these 3-S questions, viz, is the occupation for which employers are requesting foreign workers skilled, are there labour shortages, and is admitting foreign workers a sensible response, have improved the quality of the debate over the “need” for foreign workers in the UK by highlighting some of the important trade-offs inherent in migration policy making. The MAC can clarify migration trade-offs in labour immigration policy, but cannot decide the ultimately political questions about whose interests should be prioritised and how competing policy objectives should be balanced.

Russian Identity

Russia encompasses the world’s second-largest migrant population in absolute numbers. This chapter explores the role migrants play in contemporary Russian identity discourse, focusing on the topic that ordinary Muscovites identified as most important during the 2013 Moscow mayoral election campaign: the large number of labour migrants in the capital. It explores how the decision to open up the elections into a more genuine contest compelled the regime candidate, incumbent mayor Sergei Sobianin, to adopt a more aggressive rhetoric on migration than otherwise officially endorsed by the Kremlin. The chapter concludes that the Moscow electoral experiment, allowing other candidates than the regime’s own hand-picked, ‘controllable’ sparring partners to run, contributed to pushing the borders of what mainstream politicians saw as acceptable positions on migrants and migration policy.
