“…This is surprising given that there have been increasing government efforts in directing temporary migrants to regional Australia (Hugo 2008) and growing scholarly interest in regional settlement experiences of international migrants more broadly (see f.ex. Galligan, Boese and Phillips 2014;Jordan, Krivokapic & Collins 2009. This body of scholarship has highlighted not only the role of employers and workplaces in the integration of international migrants (Boese 2015;Kilpatrick et al 2015) but identified the significance of interpersonal relations and interactions beyond the workplace (Wise 2005(Wise , 2009) in facilitating a sense of belonging in regional communities.…”

A growing number of temporary visa holders reside in regional Australia, from skilled temporary visa holders to international students at regional university campuses and Working Holiday visa holders. Many of these residents spend prolonged periods of time in regional locations, often alongside groups with other migration and refugee backgrounds, and many hold permanent residency aspirations. This paper contributes to recent scholarship on affective citizenship and place-based belonging through an investigation of the social, cultural and legal dimensions of temporary migrants’ sense of belonging in regional communities. Our analysis of qualitative interviews with regional residents on different temporary visas and local employers and service providers shows that many temporary residents in regional locations develop a feeling of place-based belonging grounded in social relations and shared cultural affiliations as well as the efforts of local stakeholders who are keen to retain migrants in the location. Yet the rights restrictions associated with temporary visas tend to diminish such feelings of belonging and further exacerbate feelings of tenuous belonging for those migrants who are lacking place-based social or cultural connections. We conclude that the multidimensional nature of belonging deserves more attention in the current context of policies that are on the one hand promoting the regional settlement of temporary migrants, whilst on the other hand excluding these migrants from most social rights granted to other taxpayers.

“…This represents a marked shift in the pattern of immigration, which had long been dominated by European settlers and, in particular, those from the UK. Other countries that were once prominent sources of migrants to rural Australia, such as Italy (Jordan et al ., ) and the former Yugoslavia (Gray et al ., ), are barely represented (Fig. ).…”

“…Although there is relatively little research on the longer‐term impacts of the migration of minority ethnic groups into Australia rural communities, the handful of studies that do exist suggest that there can be quite profound local economic, social, and cultural outcomes (Turiyo, ; Jordan et al ., , ). Perhaps not surprisingly, issues associated with racism, social exclusion, and income disadvantage have been noted in some studies (Collins and Krivokapic‐Skoko, ).…”

In 2007, Michael Woods posited the notion of 'the global countryside' as a hypothetical space within which globalising tendencies are fully realised in the transformation of rural place. Rather than viewing rural change as being 'determined' by global processes, Woods sought to encourage more nuanced accounts that could 'hold together' multiple scales in their narratives of rural restructuring. After three decades of neoliberal trade and agricultural policy reform in Australia, the country's inland regions are embedded in 'the global', yet their economic, demographic, and social fortunes are also being profoundly shaped by the processes operating at a range of other spatial scales. Within the context of the global countryside, this paper explores the interactions of rural demographic change and labour market processes. Specifically, we examine the ways in which long-standing patterns of out-migration from rural areas have seen new forms of engagement with the global in the form of international labour migration.

“…Kahtlemata on eestlaste narratiiviahelad võrreldavad muude samal ajal ümberasunutega ja näiteks itaalia kogukonna puhul tundub, et mõlema rahvusrühma käitumises ja kohanemises oligi palju sarnasusi, sh arenemistee Itaalia Maja ja muuseumi loomiseni, mis ühendavad kohalikke itaallasi omavahel (Jordan & Krivokapic-Skoko & Collins 2009), kuid needki probleemid tahavad lähemat võrdlevat vaatlemist. Nagu vajavad täpsemat uurimist toidu-ja pühadekultuur, isetegevus jm seigad, mis peegeldavad kohanemise keerukaid aspekte.…”

“…Nende saatused on teatava määrani võrreldavad sama kategooria alla kuulunud samaaegsete Malta, Itaalia ja Kreeka ümberasujatega, kuid eristab asjaolu, et need rahvused asustasid reeglina lähedase (tihti maa)piirkonna. Sotsiaalse kohesiooni tekkimise oluline eeldus on kommunikatsioon lähemate naabritega, mis lõuna-eurooplastel oli ühisterritooriumi tõttu kergem (nende kultuurilisest käitumisest vt nt Jordan & Krivokapic-Skoko & Collins 2009). Hajali elavad eestlased liitis ühisesse kultuuri-ja sotsiaalsesse võr-gustikku Eesti Maja ja oma meedia.…”
