The international conference “Managing Transnational Migration” organized by Tallinn University’s Institute of Political Science and Governance to take place on the 6th of November 2008.
The conference boasts presenters from 8 countries from
Europe, Asia and Africa.The main debate is
around the issue: how is it possible to construct a realistic, yet a more open
migration policy that would consider both the national state’s needs and alsosociety’s need for cohesion: that would be
capable of using the strengths of transnational migration and could avoid
harmful consequences.
The presenters will define the essentials of
transnationalisation and will introduce the migration policies experience of a
number of countries. The conference will culminate with positioning of the
presentations in the context of today’s Estonian society and policy making.
The conference is connected with the EU 7th
framework programme’s research project Trans-net (Transnationalisation,
Migration and Transformation: Multi-level Analysis of Migrant
Transnationalism). The working language is English.
