Transmigration: the rise of flexible migration strategies as part of superdiversity
基于对比利时布鲁塞尔和安特卫普的巴西、加纳和摩洛哥跨迁移者的深度访谈,分析跨迁移带来的社会问题及其对城市社会工作和社会政策的挑战,探讨为何需要多层级治理来应对欧盟内跨境生活的人群。
Superdiversity implies increasing diversity within diversity, including the rise of flexible migration strategies: complex migration trajectories implying serial cross-border mobility between two or more countries. The article explores transmigration in the two main superdiverse Belgian cities of Brussels and Antwerp, based upon in-depth interviews with Brazilian, Ghanaian and Moroccan transmigrants. The article analyses the social problems related to transmigration, how these problems transcend borders and challenge urban social work and social policies at different levels. It explores why transmigration requires forms of multilevel governance to deal with people living beyond borders in the EU.
