This study seeks to understand how the migrant rights group No One Is Illegal’s advocacy works to rearticulate migrant subjectivity while furthering our understanding of what it means to communicate critically and ethically as global citizens in the context of postcolonial globality. Informed by critical and postcolonial iterations of cosmopolitan thought and guided by Sobré-Denton and Bardhan’s (2013) notion of cosmopolitan communication and peoplehood, this study offers a rhetorical criticism of No One Is Illegal’s Deportation Is Not Entertainment and Access Without Fear campaigns. With an eye toward identifying how No One Is Illegal works to rearticulate migrant subjectivity in ways not undergirded by the logics of the neoliberal nation-state, I identify rhetorical features within No One Is Illegal’s discourse that reflect an ethical and ecological view of culture and communication and hold the potential for progressive social change. In Deportation Is Not Entertainment, a campaign against the reality television show Border Security: Canada’s Front Line¸I argue that No One Is Illegal advances a rhetoric of emotional and material victimization of undocumented migrants at the hands of Border Security and the Harper government. I further argue that No One Is Illegal positions undocumented migrants as the victims of epistemic violence (Spivak, 1998) through the narrative framing of the television show and the Harper government’s public discourse. In Access Without Fear¸ I argue that No One Is Illegal’s discourse works in three important ways to further the goals of this study. First, I argue No One Is Illegal offers a vernacular articulation of coloniality that challenges normative understandings of Toronto and Canada while articulating an understanding of undocumented migrants as agentive subjects navigating a postcolonial world. Second, I argue No One Is Illegal’s rhetoric asks us to understand belonging in three different ways: belonging as rightful presence (Squire & Darling, 2013), belonging as multiple, and belonging as constituted in relationships as opposed to preexisting cultural categories or legal designations. Third, I argue No One Is Illegal offers a decolonial imaginary where migrant rights are pulled into relation with indigenous rights, environmental degradation, and the workings of global capitalism. This decolonial imaginary asks us to think of self-Other relations in new ways while being projective and outward. In the process, I identify rhetorical features in No One Is Illegal’s advocacy that reflect communication that is world- and Other- oriented, attentive to power, establishes mutuality, and reflects non-oppositional views of difference. This rhetoric, I argue, works to promote social change through fostering an enlarged and transformed imaginary, intercultural empathy, an Other-oriented sense of belonging and a type of coalitional agency, which work to cultivate a sense of cosmopolitan peoplehood in the service of social and global justice.

The literature on Human Resettlement and the socio-economic adjustment processes involved has been reviewed with special reference to planned and unplanned relocation and how models of social change apply to them. As a result of the findings of this study the investigator has concluded it by developing a unique 5-Step Socio-Economic Chan2e Model based on the unplanned involuntary relocation of agro-pastoralists within the semi-arid areas of Kenya. A study of the Kenyan resettlement at Muuni was carried out over two growing seasons in 1997/98. Detailed information on the social structure prevailing and of the social and economic practices was gathered. This information was supplemented by data recorded on the agricultural activities of a sample of 30 fanning households, each having 10 acres of land. This information was supplemented by data on rainfall and soil type. Income from non-farming activities was also gathered. Data has been summarised and analysed and results discussed in the light of previous findings. Among the principal findings were: • That the role livestock production plays in socio-economic processes of change in semi-arid areas of Malcueni District became secondary or even tertiary following change of land tenureship by relocating agro-pastoralists from areas of communal use of forage and water resources to small-scale private land holding areas. • That failure to plan the involuntary relocation of the approx. 1000 households involved had placed them in difficult circumstances. • Hardship was the result due to failing to appreciate the inadequate potential of the limited private areas allocated and/or to provide a sufficient water supply in the resettlement scheme. • That failure to plan for suitable livestock disease control measures, medical care and education in the area imposed additional burdens on the people. • That the people proved capable of alleviating their conditions and meeting short-term needs by undertaking a range of non-farming activities and by collaborating at critical times in the farming and other social cycles. • That the delayed issuance of land title deeds to the farming households placed the families in an inequitable position and restricted their right of free movement.

BACKGROUND Little attention is given to the role of migration in global population projection models. Most demographers set future levels of net migration on trajectories towards zero in all countries, nullifying the impact of migration on long-run projected populations. Yet as fertility and mortality rates fall, the role of migration on future population change is becoming more pronounced. OBJECTIVES In this paper we develop future long-run migration scenarios to provide a range of possible outcomes. METHODS Our alternative migration scenarios are linked to the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP), widely used in research on global environmental change. These are utilized as inputs for a global cohort component projection model to obtain population totals up until 2100 for all countries. CONTRIBUTION The results illustrate the important role of migration assumptions in long-run projections, especially in post-demographic-transition countries. Further, they provide plausible alternatives to projections based on the commonly used, but poorly justified, convergence towards a zero net migration assumption.

Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho de pesquisa é discutir o papel que a cidade de Rio Claro tem no processo de interiorização da indústria no Estado de São Paulo. Este processo começou mais efetivamente no início da década de 70. Também se faz nosso objetivo mostrar que por causa do espraiamento da indústria houve um aumento no fluxo migratório em todo Estado de São Paulo, inclusive Rio Claro. Nós buscamos mostrar que o processo migratório trouxe transformações para as pequenas e médias cidades do Estado de São Paulo, entre as quais Rio Claro está inserida. / Abstract: The objective of this research is to discuss the paper that Rio Claro city has in the process of the interiorization of the industry in São Paulo State, that started more effectively in early 1970. Also it was our objective to show that because of the spread of the industry there was an increase in the migratory process, in all over the State, including in Rio Claro city. We tried to show that the migration process has brought has brought a lot of transformation to the small and medium cities in São Paulo State, including Rio Claro. / Orientador: Enéas Rente Ferreira / Coorientador: Rita de Cássia Martins de Souza / Banca: João Cleps Junior / Banca: Fadel David Antonio Filho / Mestre

A demografia, como ciência dos estudos da população, tem contribuído nesse debate ao desenvolver temas que abordam os rumos do equilíbrio entre o consumo e a qualidade ambiental para uma população mundial cada vez mais concentrada em áreas urbanas. Esse é um conhecimento ainda pouco consolidado e que demanda maiores investimentos, tanto no embasamento teórico como nos estudos de caso. No Pantanal, mais especificamente na região fronteiriça de Corumbá, revelou-se uma situação onde uma população pouco volumosa e altamente urbanizada reflete dinâmicas de mobilidade populacional e de crescentes inserções territoriais nas relações capitalistas internacionais. Essa dinâmica regional tem como conseqüência alterações em áreas com importantes atributos ecológicos, onde a concentração das populações em núcleos urbanos apresenta possibilidades de usos sustentáveis do território / Abstract: In the current stage of man/environment relationship the environmental crisis perception is being sense as a global process. Demography, as a population dynamic's science, is being to contribute in this argument that embraces the equilibrium between consumption and the environmental quality for an increasing world's urban population. This knowledge is still little consolidated and requires larges investments in the theoretical bases and studies of case. In the Pantanal, more specifically in the Corumbá's frontier region, a site with a small and urban population reflects the mobility processes and the increasing territorial insertion in the international capitalism. This regional dynamics has consequence in important natural areas, where the urban population dense embraces possibilities of good uses for the environmental quality / Mestrado / Demografia e Ciencias Sociais Aplicadas / Mestre em Demografia

Nesse sentido, procura-se compreender a dinâmica das trocas migratórias no estado de Santa Catarina (no período de 1950 a 2000), a partir da evolução e adensamento da Rede Urbana deste estado. Este trabalho foi construído levando em consideração as evoluções na captação de dados sobre deslocamentos populacionais no período analisado. Dessa forma, devido à grande heterogeneidade das diferentes mesorregiões que compõem o território catarinense, pode-se dizer que as análises se adensaram a partir dos dados do Censo Demográfico de 1980. No que se refere aos dados dos Censos Demográficos de 1950, 1960 e 1970, pode-se afirmar que as principais áreas de atração migratória do estado catarinense eram as regiões de fronteira agrícola, ocupadas, preponderantemente por contingentes populacionais provenientes do Rio Grande do Sul. A partir do Censo Demográfico de 1980 as migrações internas de Santa Catarina passam a se constituir no principal mecanismo de realocação espacial da população neste estado. Questões relacionadas ao processo de reprodução social das populações rurais de Santa Catarina mudam as principais áreas de atração populacional, dentro de um contexto onde as mesorregiões litorâneas passam a concentrar uma parcela cada vez maior da população estadual. Este trabalho procura lançar luz sobre os principais determinantes deste processo migratório. Em um segundo momento o foco analítico se volta para questionamentos sobre como as migrações podem se compor em importante elemento para a constituição e adensamento de uma dinâmica econômica integrada dentro do conjunto de municípios da Região Metropolitana de Florianópolis. Tais deslocamentos populacionais (em seus diferentes níveis) refletem a divisão social do trabalho existente neste circuito da rede urbana de Santa Catarina, conjugando para consolidação e expansão de desigualdades socioeconômicas entre as populações dos municípios desta Região Metropolitana. Com esse objetivo são analisados os perfis socioeconômicos das populações de cada um dos municípios que formam esta aglomeração urbana, comparando aquelas classificadas como migrantes com os de populações classificadas como não migrantes. Também foi avaliado o perfil socioeconômico das populações que declararam realizar movimentos pendulares dentro desta área / Abstract: This work explores the relation between economic development and migration fluxes in the State of Santa Catarina, in the South of Brazil. The focus is in the period between the IBGE Demographic Census of 1950 and the Census of the year 2000. Based on regional and urban development theories it is presented a interpretation of the economic determinants of migration in this particular State of Brazil. Santa Catarina have 8 different regions, and the most of them present a high leveI of industrial specialization. This fact result in a mosaic of regions each one comanded by a city that plays the role of regional center. In this sense, each region presented a different timing of industrial and urban development what cause different kinds of migrantion fluxes. The last chapter changes the scale of the work and turns attention to the .metropolization process of the cities near the state's capital, Florianópolis. The objective of this focalization is to investigate how migration is an important piece in the engine that determines the distribution of the poverty between the cities of this metropolitan area / Mestrado / Mestre em Demografia

This dissertation is about the movement of people and the system of order underpinning the movement. In undertaking a comparative study of Canada and France between 1989 and 2005, the study explores a widespread phenomenon that security studies and migration scholars would have considered an anomaly only two decades ago: understanding the movement of people as an existential security threat. How is it that nation-states around the globe are cracking down on migration for security reasons? How do we know if migration has been securitized - and which criteria should we employed to guide our analysis? What are the social mechanisms at play in the interaction between movement and order? Does a variation in levels of securitized migration exist - and if so, what are the key determinants of the variation? These questions are at the heart of the present study. My argument is twofold. First, I contend that a constructivist perspective is useful in gaining a better understanding of the social mechanisms involved in the securitization of migration as it highlights discursive power, ideational factors, and cultural/contextual elements. Second, I argue that securitization theory - the current benchmark in securitization research - remains silent on the issue of variation in levels of securitized migration. As such, securitization theory, as currently applied and organized, cannot explain empirical findings of my study - a weak securitization in Canada versus a strong securitization in France. Underscoring the necessity to amend securitization theory, I investigate the impact of cultural factors - and especially the role of domestic audience - to account for the variation. / Arts, Faculty of / Political Science, Department of / Graduate
