• W765022898 abstract "A Review of Migration and Freedom: Mobility, Citizenship and Exclusion By Brad K. Blitz (Cheltenham, UK: Edward Elgar Publishing, Inc., 2014), 256 pages. Prospects for meaningful immigration reform grow ever more remote on the agenda of the U.S. Congress. $46 billion was earmarked in 2013 for border security, a wastefully ineffectual increase of U.S. national debt. (1) Public interest in prioritizing educated tech workers or job-creating investors remains a footnote to an afterthought. (2) America: built on freedom of migration? A narrative's power does not necessarily depend on its truth. What if the problem lies within its relativity and had at its core not the migration of foreigners, but the immobility and inadaptability of its own poverty-stricken citizens? Any serious look at freedom of movement will examine experiences elsewhere in the First World. That is why an analysis of European experiences and regulatory responses ranging from the sophisticated to the crude--even barbaric--matters to the parallel discourse in the United States. After all, the European Union (EU) was built on three axiomatic freedoms of movement: of goods and services, of capital, and of people. The final one, though, remained hindered by policy and never entirely left the drawing board of theory. Acknowledging that national borders, discrimination based on citizenship, and notions of sovereignty will not die in our lifetime despite frequent obituaries eulogizing the nation state since World War II, scholar Brad K. Blitz has now addressed dimensions of international law and policy, political theory, and sociology in Migration and Freedom: Mobility, Citizenship and Exclusion. A noted expert on human rights, statelessness, public and social policy, migration, and post-conflict transition, Blitz conducted more than 170 field interviews over a decade to distill opportunities and challenges arising out of the ambiguous context of existing rights to free movement (and, more importantly, to settlement and establishment) shown through the lens of five case studies: Croatia, Italy, Slovenia, Spain/United Kingdom (UK), and Russia. His original study seeks to demonstrate how formal vs. informal and official vs. de facto restraints affect individual mobility and result in all new categories of citizenship in Europe, internal and external to the EU, within and across national borders. (3) Specifically in each case study, Blitz examines Spanish doctors in the UK, European language teachers in Italy, displaced Serbs in Croatia, discrimination as a barrier to mobility in Slovenia, and intranational migration within Russia. (4) Unsurprisingly, in a country spanning eleven time zones, Russia had already challenged civil liberties and urban economics during the Soviet era. The study analyzes the individual opportunity cost of migration. Considering Spain's post-2008 mass unemployment, even qualified general practitioners and physician specialists seek professional careers within the stable framework of Britain's National Health Service. (5) And they do it at significant cost. Since so few opportunities exist in Spain, those leaving the country stand little chance of returning at a later date to the Spanish labor market. Contacts are lost, and locals do all within their power to monopolize access to jobs. (6) Some of the practices devised to circumvent foreigners' equal rights could almost pass as humorous. European language teachers in Italy routinely do not show up on public records of exam commissions. Instead, someone else signs student registers of attendance and exams to deprive them of a record of ever having worked in Italy as teachers, and formally, they are listed, for example, as watermelon pickers on public records. (7) Even fundamental treaty provisions prohibiting discrimination on the basis of nationality, such as Article 18 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, are routinely ignored in practice, and the Court of Justice of the European Union has held on numerous occasions that EU nationals have not been treated fairly in job applications outside their home states, often despite many years of local residence. …" @default.
