CHARACTERISTICS OF TEMPORARY MIGRATION IN EUROP...

This book focuses on the experiences of temporary movements between Asia and Europe from the
perspective of migrants and mobile people. It raises important questions such as: Why do people
migrate on a temporary basis and what does this actually mean? How are these trajectories
shaped? What are the implications of temporary moves for migrants and non-migrants? And how are
transnational ties and practices characterized in the context of temporary migration? By
shedding light on the practices and experiences of individual migrants  the book provides
useful insights into understanding the challenges arising in an increasingly interconnected and
mobile world. The chapters indicate that temporary migratory movements are on the rise: on the
one hand on a voluntary basis such as reflected in labour migration  lifestyle migration and
international student mobility  and on the other hand in an involuntary way as expressed in
different forms of forced migration. Either way  temporary migration has diverse political.
legal  economic  social and cultural implications  including the emergence of novel
transnational networks and practices. The book is based on the findings of the international
research project Transnational Migration in Transition: Transformative Characteristics of
Temporary Mobility of People (EURA-NET)  funded by the European Union's 7th Framework Programme
for period 2014-2017.
