The role of social capital in undocumented migration : the case of undocumented Zimbabwean migrants in BotswanaMutsindikwa, Canisio 15 May 2013 (has links)
This dissertation was carried out to try to understand the role of social capital in the migration of Zimbabwean migrants to Botswana. It describes elements and types of social capital Zimbabwean undocumented migrants used to come to Botswana. Questionnaires and in-depth interviews were used to obtain data from respondents.
Though the influence of macro factors initially pushed migrants to migrate, there was evidence of the existence of social networks. Findings showed the use of social networks by Zimbabwean undocumented migrants. Though kinship networks were dominant in the initial migration stages there was a wane in the destination as migrants reverted to friendship networks for flexibility. Linking existed at both the place of origin and destination. Social control, channelling and negative social capital were discovered among migrants. Migrants developed mechanisms to counter the Botswana’s enforcement policy. / Sociology

Immigrazione, salute, territorio: il fenomeno migratorio e i suoi aspetti sanitari nella provincia di Caserta / Immigration, santé et territoire: le phénomène migratoire et ses aspects sanitaires dans la Province de CaserteMosca, Luigi 27 January 2011 (has links)
La Province de Caserta, en Campanie, est un lieu de concentration des flux migratoires au Sud de L'Italie. Les migrant qu’y arrivent « illégalement » ou « irrégulièrement », du Nord de l’Afrique comme de l’Europe orientale, trouvent dans ce territoire des opportunités de travail et d’habitation, grâce à la présence d’un marché du travail au noir et d’un marché immobilier déréglementé, résultat de l’urbanisation sauvage et des spéculations. Les travailleurs immigrés se trouvent à vivre une condition existentiale marquée par la marginalisation, la pauvreté, l’exploitation et la violence :cette condition à des effets sur leur santé, physique et mentale. <p>Cette étude veut analyser la relation entre migration, santé et inégalité sociale, à travers une ethnographies des services sanitaires pour les immigrés. Cependant, en Campanie ces services sont réalisé et gérés à travers des accords entre les institutions sanitaires locales et les association de bénévolat et les organisation humanitaires internationales, comme Médecines Sans Frontières. Cette ethnographie, donc, est aussi une analyse du rapport entre gestion humanitaire de la migration et politiques de citoyenneté en Italie, un rapport qui semble caractériser de plus en plus le gouvernement des migrations. <p>Enfin, étant le territoire de la Province de Caserta caractérisé par la présence des organisations criminelles mafieuse, j’analyserais les effets de cette présence, soi en ce qui concerne la migration, soi en ce qui concerne la vie des citoyens italiens. <p> / Doctorat en Sciences politiques et sociales / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Framing the DREAM Act: An Analysis of Congressional SpeechesKoo, Yilmin 05 1900 (has links)
Initially proposed in 2001, the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act (DREAM Act) continues to be relevant after nearly 20 years of debate. The year 2010 was significant because there seemed to be some possibility of passage. This study investigated the ways in which the DREAM Act discourse was framed that year by supporters and opponents. Selected Congressional speeches of three supporters and three opponents were analyzed using the approach to frame analysis developed by Schön and Rein. Accordingly, attention went to each individual's metacultural frame (i.e., culturally shared beliefs), policy frame (i.e., identification of problem and presentation of possible solution), and rhetorical frame (i.e., means of persuading the audience). Attention also went to the shared framing among supporters and the shared framing among opponents as well as differences in framing across the two groups. Although speakers varied in framing the issue, there were commonalities within groups and contrasts between groups. For supporters, the metacultural frame emphasized equity/equal opportunity, fairness, and rule of law; for opponents, the metacultural frame stressed rule of law, patriotism, and national security. For supporters, the policy frame underscored unfairness as the problem and the DREAM Act as the solution; for opponents, the policy frame emphasized the DREAM Act as the problem and defeating the DREAM Act as the solution. Rhetorical frames also differed, with the supporters making much use of testimonial examples and the opponents making much use of hyperbole. The study illustrates (1) how the same named values and beliefs can have dramatically different interpretations in metacultural framing, as were the case for rule of law and American dream in this discourse; (2) how the crux of an issue and its intractability can be seen by looking at how the problem is posed and how the solution is argued, and (3) how speakers strengthen their claims with particular kinds of rhetorical devices. Through descriptions of political positioning on the DREAM Act, the study contributes to understandings of ongoing issues regarding the lives of undocumented young people who have received and are receiving education in the U.S.

Exploring narratives of coping and resilience with socio-economic and emotional challenges in a group of Zimbabwean migrants: a qualitative studySigamoney, Rosalind Florence 09 1900 (has links)
Bibliography: pages 227-250 / The research intended to explore the narratives of coping and resilience relating to the socio economic and emotional difficulties of a group of Zimbabwean migrants residing in
Johannesburg. Through a technique of social constructionism and dialogue between the
researcher and the six (6) participants, the co-construction in accordance to subject matters
was used, supported by way of a qualitative research strategy and the case study method. The
exploration of the themes was based on the participants’ narratives. Thereafter, the thematic
analysis methodology was undertaken to analyse the data and connect it to supportive
literature. The sample generated a full and rich account of the participants’ experiences and
this yielded awareness of the common themes, such as the challenges and coping in trying
times of migration, as well as an in-depth interpretation of their resilience. A qualitative
research method was employed. Purposeful sampling was used and semi-structured in-depth
personal interviews were conducted with each of the six (6) participants. Three (3) male and
three (3) female Zimbabwean migrants were chosen. The case study included a description of
Zimbabwean migrants’ coping and resilience with socio-economic and emotional challenges.
It is anticipated that the results from this study will influence the progress of a unique review
and support programme for the migrants who have endured socio-economic and emotional
challenges. The results disclosed the reasons for migrating to South Africa, the challenges in
the country of resettlement, socio-economic and emotional challenges, and the strategies used
to cope and become resilient. Additionally, the analysis concluded that the participants in the
study experienced similar narratives. The female participants left their families to seek
greener pastures economically, but emotionally it affected their well-being. The Zimbabwean
migrants coped with resilience utilising social networks, religion, self-regulation and mobile
technology. / Psychology / D. Phil. (Psychology)

The policing of undocumented foreign nationals in South AfricaMabudusha, Sekgololo Angel 06 1900 (has links)
The increasing numbers of undocumented foreign nationals in South Africa not only has
affected the provision of services provided by the local municipalities and the Department of Home
Affairs but is also a huge challenge to the services provided by the South African police. The aim
of this study was to explore the police experiences of dealing with undocumented foreign
nationals in South Africa. A literature review was conducted to provide an overview of
this problem nationally and internationally. Interviews, observations and document analysis were
also considered to explore police experiences of dealing with undocumented foreign nationals. The
findings of this study show that the South African police are “caught between a rock and a hard
place” when dealing with undocumented foreign nationals within the constitutional framework
of this country. They receive little support from the government and the relevant stakeholders
on this matter, while on the other hand they are exposed to constant threats and lack of compliance
from the undocumented foreign nationals and the criminal syndicates that facilitate illegal
cross-border movements and the pressure from advocates of human rights principles and the media.
These factors lead to increased frustrations among police officials and self-protective measures
such as turning a blind eye to this problem.
To deal with the problem the Inclusive and Interactive Refugee Management Model, which focuses on
constant interaction among stakeholders, is recommended. Inclusive strategies are also
recommended for dealing with undocumented foreign nationals. This model supports a Left Realism perspective, which advocates collective responsibility towards human concerns / Police Practice / D. Litt. et Phil. (Police Science)

Socialtjänsten och barn till irreguljära immigranter : en rättsvetenskaplig undersökningÖsterling, Karin January 2006 (has links)
<p>The aim of this study was to examine how the social services could investigate and support children of irregular immigrants within the boundaries of the law. More specifically it aimed to examine the legal possibilities and obstacles for the social services to support irregular immigrants, how the officials at the social services act considering the legal aspects, and how they reason morally and ethically when dealing with irregular immigrants. To answer the aim of the study the theory of positive law was used combined with qualitative interviews with two officials at the social services. Moreover a small quantitative telephone study with officials in the social services and with voluntary organizations was made. The study has used theories of sociology of law, law and ethics, and professional (civil) disobedience. The conclusions were that children of irregular immigrants are included by the Swedish law for social services, but are hindered from getting support by the legal obligation to inform the police authorities when the social services are dealing with foreigners who did not apply for a residence permit. There is a need for the officials to be extra committed in such cases and they break the obligation to inform to be able to support the children.</p>
