This chapter takes stock of contemporary migration by breaking with a few myths and by distinguishing between interregional and international migration. It shows how new research paradigms have relativized the importance of the state as the preferred frame ...
At the crossroads of transportation engineering and urban sociology, the dissertation deciphers the interactions between daily mobility and social inequalities, what I call the "social mechanics of mobility". To do so, I draw on a twofold survey, both quan ...
Can living near a national border have an effect on the politicization of individuals? To answer this question, this article challenges the results put forward by some European Border Studies scholars granting the border a major role in the construction of ...
Understanding mobility behaviour in cross-border regions is a major challenge for transport policies and the wellbeing of people living near national borders. However, the available relevant information is often limited to a collection of unharmonized nati ...
Cross-border regions are seen as specific spaces where both cosmopolitanism and nationalistic attitudes can spread. It is commonly argued that due to the physical proximity to a neighbouring country, the development of cross-border encounters and interacti ...
The nature of the gap observed at the zone border in the spin excitation spectrum of CrI3 quasitwo-dimensional single crystals is still controversial. We perform first-principles calculations based on time-dependent density functional perturbation theory, ...
Unemployment differentials are bigger in Europe than in the United States. Migration responds to unemployment differentials, though the response is smaller in Europe. Mundell (1961) argued that factor mobility is a precondition for a successful currency un ...
A New Look at Civic Design reflects on the nature of the various crises facing the very idea of democracy today, explicitly in relation to climate change - namely mass extinctions, water scarcity and overabundance, and in general widespread and increasing ...
With the dynamics of employment growth in Luxembourg, more and more workers cross the border every day to get to their workplaces. This article proposes to study the daily lives of these cross-border workers by analysing their daily activity programmes bas ...
The number of cross-border workers in Luxembourg has steadily increased over the last 30 years. In the collective imagination these cross-border workers come to the Grand Duchy just to work. This paper challenges this representation by measuring the functi ...
