| description | Europe is facing a new era of migration. During the last decades, the
European migration system underwent several shifts due to different reasons.
A basic observation is that general changes, on the political map for
example, do not necessarily have the same consequences in European regions,
even in seemingly similar contexts. The major changes started in 1990
accelerated with the enlargement of the European Union in 2004 and found its
continuation by crisis-driven migration from south European countries into
Western European labour markets after 2008. All of these "migration waves"
have been topped by a massive inflow of refugees in 2015 creating new
migratory map of Europe. Thus, important stages of contemporary and present
European migration history are interpreted as indicators for a surplus in
diversity, flexibility and spontaneity and will serve for formulating the
hypothesis of Elusive Migration Systems as an analytical framework and a
kind of hypothesis to study new features of migrants’ trajectories, which
became more and more variable. Being grounded may be the wish of the
majority of Europeans and, in effect, the global population, but being on
the move, voluntarily or forced, is reality for a certain number of migrants
inside and heading towards Europe. |
