“…Un último obstáculo que el transnacionalismo debe superar es la multitud de significados que se atribuyen al término y la variedad de expresiones derivadas de él (Gowricharn, 2009;Kivisto, 2001;Portes, 2001;Vertovec, 1999). Cada autor o grupo de académicos se decanta por alguna de estas expresiones, que muchas veces son acuñadas por ellos mismos buscando aña-dir algún matiz del que carece la expresión usada por otro autor.…”

“…Esto es algo que no solo nos sucede a nosotros, sino que resulta como consecuencia de la variedad de significados que el término transnacional ha ido adquiriendo desde su origen. El intento de delimitación de diversos autores (Kivisto, 2001;Portes et al, 1999;Portes, 1999Portes, , 2001Schiller et al, 1992a;Vertovec, 1999) ha conseguido frenar el uso abusivo del término, pero, al no llegar a un claro acuerdo ni siquiera entre ellos sobre lo que significa perspectiva transnacional o actividades transnacionales (Gowricharn, 2009), el resto de investigadores tiene la opción de seleccionar lo que más pueda interesarles de cada una de las definiciones, con lo cual elaboran su propio esquema conceptual y argumentan con el mayor rigor posible la elección hecha.…”

El debate entre transnacionalismo y nacionalismo metodológico como marco teórico para la comprensión del papel del empleo en la gobernabilidad de la inmigración en España Álvaro Morcillo Espina Universidad de Navarra. Centro Navarro de Desarrollo Internacional almoes@gmail.com Recibido: 15-04-2010 Aceptado: 28-03-2011 ResumenEl debate entre el nacionalismo metodológico y el transnacionalismo ofrece múltiples oportunidades teóricas para los estudios migratorios. En este trabajo, se exponen las aportaciones que este debate brinda para la comprensión de la gobernabilidad de la inmigración en el sistema de estado autonómico español, partiendo del análisis de la gobernabilidad de la inmigración a nivel estatal, pasando por el nivel regional y acabando en el nivel local (provincial). Para ello, nos centramos en analizar el papel que el empleo desempeña en la gobernabilidad de la inmigración, destacando su relevancia y su significado en los tres pilares imprescindibles de cualquier política migratoria: el control, la integración y la cooperación al desarrollo. A nivel estatal, se analiza la legislación de extranjería y, a nivel regional, los planes de inmigración de las comunidades autónomas. En esos dos niveles, se sigue una metodología cualitativa (teoría fundamentada), mientras que, en el nivel local (provincial), se analiza y se comparan los resultados de la explotación de la EPA del primer trimestre de 2008 y del primer trimestre de 2009. Palabras clave: teoría social; política de inmigración; integración social; cooperación al desarrollo; gobernabilidad; ciudadanía; estado nacional; globalización; comunidades autónomas. Abstract. The debate between transnationalism and methodological nationalism as a theoretical frame to understand the role of employment for immigration management in SpainThe debate between methodological nationalism and transnationalism offers many theoretical opportunities for migration studies. In this paper, we describe the contributions that this debate provides for understanding the governance of migration within the Spanish autonomous state system. We analyse the governance of migration at the state level, the regional level, and the local (provincial) level. We focus on the role of employment in the governance of migration, highlighting its meaning and its relevance for the three essential pillars of migration policy: control, integration, and development cooperation. Using qualitative methodology (grounded theory) we discuss immigration-foreigner laws at the state level, and social integration plans at the regional level. At the local or provincial level 758 Papers, 2011, 96/3 Álvaro Morcillo Espina we conduct a quantitative analysis on the basis of official statistic resources (Labor Force Survey).

Transnational mobilities of Australia-educated and domiciled professional migrants from Vietnam

Within a global discourse of increasing human capital for competitive advantage, skilled migration following international education -known as two-step migration -has been used by governments as a human capacity building strategy. In government-commissioned reports and studies, the dominant use of economic frameworks describes two-step migrants as rational choice makers. Such approaches have the effect of disembodying transnational mobilities as homogeneous 'brain flows' across borders. In contrast, migrants have their own pursuits and experience circumstances affecting their subjectivities in transnational mobilities. By building on extant research on transnationalism, this thesis provides a more holistic picture of education-related and professional migration. It acknowledges the embodiment of transnational mobilities through the relational aspects of migrants' everyday lives, from forming decisions to migrate, to relocating to the host society and planning for the future. Therefore, understanding the relationality of transnational mobilities requires researchers to attend to skilled migrants' engagement with the world across multiple spaces and temporalities.In this study, I examine education-related migration from Vietnam to Australia, portrayed in policy discourse as a human capacity building strategy (Vietnam), and a dual national project of education Negotiation of transnational mobilities by the participants is explored in four major areas: decisions to migrate, relocation experiences, work and life aspirations, and uses of transnational ties. Drawing on Heidegger's phenomenology, I examine these four areas using the concept of being-in-the-world in terms of these migrants' interactions with others and things, the ways they followed and/or broke with public norms, as well as what mattered to them in their mobilities in relation to the surrounding world.ii This thesis contributes further understandings and elaborates distinctive features of two-step migration from Vietnam to Australia in place of earlier research which has analysed Asian migratory flows. The concept of being-in-the-world enables me to argue that two-step migrants from Vietnam in Australia negotiate transnational mobilities through their embeddedness in the socio-political, economic, educational and cultural structures in both countries in relation to their personal concerns and circumstances. Thus, I challenge the assumptions present in 'race for talent' policies that disembody professional migrants as homogeneous flows of human capital from one nation to another. Exploring migrants' entwinement with the world in intersecting domains enables me to add nuances to previous understandings of binaries in migration, including 'routes' and 'roots', agency and structure, and spatiality and temporality. I also extend my critique to approaches adopted in skilled migration research that examine separate influences from migrants' interactions with the world on their negotiations of mobilities.By re-conceptualising transnational mobilities as...

“…Many studies focus on the intriguing question of belonging, as the second generation is born in a country and has the option to claim and build a sense of belonging towards the country of birth as well as towards the country of origin of their parents (Somerville 2008;Åkesson 2011). The sense of belonging can even extend not only to the country where the parents were born, but, in cases where the parents themselves were children of migrants, to the country of origin of the ancestors M.
