“…All in all, although the typology is not so much grounded in these interviews, the research process and hence the process of theory construction was informed by the interviews held with organisations. Introduction Immigration policies play a decisive role in the allocation of life chances to irregular migrants (Baganha et al 2006;Burgers 1998;Engbersen, Van der Leun & De Boom 2007;Menjivar 2006;Samers 2003). As governments create opportunities and impose barriers to irregular migrants, state policies shape their window of opportunity and their room to manoeuvre.…”

“…In addition, the line between human smuggling and trafficking has become blurred: human smugglers sometimes use the same 'safe houses' to store smuggled irregular migrants and trafficked prostitutes (Leman & Janssens 2007). Furthermore, as the risks involved become higher (Donato, Wagner & Patterson 2008;Eschbach et al 1999), the financial costs of entry increase as well (Baganha et al 2006;Cornelius 2005). Long-distance smuggling fees to Belgium now vary between € 3,000 and € 40,000, medium distance between € 1,500 and € 6,000 and short-distance between € 200 and € 5,000 (Kaizen & Nonneman 2007).…”

Child-rearing practices can be challenging for migrants who often require socio-cultural and emotional adjustments. This article discusses parenting in exile with a focus on the experiences of highly educated Eritrean migrants in the UK. Qualitative data are collected from eighteen highly educated Eritrean migrants selected through purposive and snowball sampling from the UK. The findings indicate that highly educated Eritrea migrants aspire to avoid harmful traditional ways of treating children and all the repercussions associated with them. Moreover, with the help of their educational qualifications, my participants support their children in social and academic activities and guide them to cultivate bi-cultural coping skills. However, the migrant parents face challenges related to lack of parenting experiences and familiar support systems. The article contributes to the advancement of migration knowledge by adding new perspectives to the nexus of migration and child-raising.

(Im)Migration Research in Italy: A European Comparative Perspective

This article analyzes research on (im)migration in Italy since the early 1980s until the present as compared to research in other European receiving countries. Two periods are singled out. In the 1980s, the need to make sense of the dramatic Italian U-turn from an emigration to an immigration country prevails. Since the mid-1990s, some trends toward convergence emerge, following a number of theoretical and methodological challenges arising from North American research. Whereas for sociologist and anthropologist much of the debate is on social networks and transnationalism, in political science the gradual emerging of a policy approach to migration studies can be pointed out. However, despite the consolidating research infrastructure, there are still open questions and gaps in contemporary research on migration in Italy, for instance, secondgenerations, immigrants' associational and political participation, and last but not least, the impact of the European Union on Italian immigration and immigrant policy as well as policy making.
