This volume of the Advances in Ecopolitics examines the impact of the
recent global increase in migration from poor and conflict ridden
states to more affluent peaceful regions of the world. Such migration
is, in part, constituted by refugees and asylum seekers, while also
constituted by labour migrants seeking to improve their lives and
future prospects through their work power. Regulations apply that can
have varying impacts on migrants' manoeuvring possibilities and
rights, and can leave them vulnerable to exploitation. This book
examines the vulnerability caused by migration, in particular, the
vulnerability of women that may cause forced migration, and the ways
in which this is dealt with by national authorities in affluent
European states. Following an introductory chapter on transnational
migration, gender and human rights, specific chapters highlight:
gendered work and migration regimes; the framing of anti-trafficking
efforts in Norway; deprofessionalisation and informality in the market
for commoditised care; and exploring intersectionality, systems and
capitals. The book concludes with a discussion of rights, gender and
the embodiment of migration.
