| The new issue of Migration Policy Practice focuses broadly on three main
themes – public perceptions of migration, analysis of irregular migration and
return trends, and measuring the impact of migration policies.
The first article, by IOM’s Deputy Director General Laura Thompson, focuses on
how to address negative perceptions of migration. Laura Thomson’s article
discusses the findings of recent research conducted by Gallup on behalf of IOM,
which suggests that public attitudes to migration are more varied than is
commonly realized. IOM’s Deputy Director General also outlines an action plan
and a series of concrete measures that could be a taken to address anti-migrant
sentiment and promote a more evidence-based discussion about migration.
In the second article, Stefanie Grant discusses the growing number of migrant
deaths at sea in the Mediterranean region and around the world. Although this
growing problem has attracted the attention of the world’s media and senior
policymakers in Europe, little action has been taken to reduce the number of
migrant fatalities.
In the third article, Jan Niessen discusses the development of indicators and
indices which can be used to compare and assess migration policies and to make
precise suggestions for improvements. The article describes the experience of
the Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX) as well as the work undertaken for
the European Commission and draws some lessons that may help assess the
feasibility and define the scope of a global index on migration.
In the fourth article, Marie McAuliffe and Alex Parrinder discuss the
Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection’s Irregular
Migration Research Programme. An independent review of the research programme
in 2014 found that the structures and relationships underscoring the research
programme represent a “best practice” model, drawing upon both government and
non-government migration expertise.
The last article, by Khalid Koser and Katie Kuschminder, is a rare example of
a study on returnees participating in assisted voluntary research programmes
based on extensive field research conducted in 15 countries around the world. A
return and reintegration index was specifically developed for the study, which
could be potentially replicated in other studies.
Migration Policy Practice is a bimonthly journal published jointly by IOM and
Eurasylum Ltd. It only contributes articles from, and is overseen by, senior
officials in government, EU institutions and international organizations, as
well as civil society worldwide, working in the field of migration policy.
As the journal was launched over three years ago, the editors would like to
invite readers to spare a couple of minutes to participate in a short readers’
satisfaction survey. The purpose of this survey, which can be taken
anonymously, is to help us identify our readers’ profiles, the institutions
they represent and their primary interests in our journal. The survey responses
should contribute, in particular, to adjusting and improving, as appropriate,
the journal’s contents, style and reader’s experience. Should you wish to
participate in this survey Migration Policy Practice: Readers' Survey. |
