Protecting Irregular Migrants in Europe: Institutions, Interests and Policies (PRIME)

对于欧洲各地非正常移民的状况如何以及为什么会有如此巨大的差异，人们知之甚少。造成这种差异的关键是国家和部门的不同制度环境。了解制度差异的作用和影响，以及与之相关的利益，是制定有效的国家和欧盟关于非正常移民政策的关键前提。PRIME将提供一种新的比较机构方法，以了解欧洲非正常移民的状况和脆弱性。将“违规”理解为一种复杂的性别身份，它将对八个欧洲国家的非正常移民、雇主、政策参与者、利益集团和选民进行大规模调查、结构化政策分析和定性访谈。PRIME将就国家社会经济机构(包括国家劳动力市场条例和福利机构)、部门政策以及移徙者和公民的行动和利益如何影响移徙者的结果和经历进行新的分析。PRIME将研究在制定针对非正常移民的政策时出现的不可避免的目标冲突，并就如何在不同的机构环境中最好地管理这些冲突提出战略，以使政策制定更有效，使移民和收容社区都受益。为了让其主要目标群体(国家和欧盟政策参与者、利益集团和科学界)参与进来，Prime将创建一个“Prime-Hub”，用于共同创造和交流知识，该中心将延伸到项目生命周期之外。通过这种方式，Prime将超越简单的“最佳做法”模式，提供有关背景敏感战略和政策工具的证据，作为可实现和可持续的非正常移民政策制定的基础。

There is little knowledge on how and why the conditions of irregular migrants vary so dramatically across Europe. Key to this variation are countries’ and sectors’ different institutional landscapes. Understanding the role and effects of institutional variations, and the interests with which they are associated, is a critical precondition for effective national and EU policies on irregular migrants. PRIME will provide a new comparative institutional approach to understanding the conditions and vulnerabilities of irregular migrants in Europe. Understanding ‘irregularity’ as a complex, gendered status it will conduct large-scale surveys, structured policy analysis, and qualitative interviews with irregular migrants, employers, policy actors, interest groups and voters across eight European countries. PRIME will generate new analysis on how migrants’ outcomes and experiences are shaped by national socio-economic institutions (including national labour market regulations and welfare institutions), sectoral policies, and the actions and interests of migrants and citizens. PRIME will examine the inevitable goal conflicts that arise in policy-making toward irregular migrants, and propose strategies for how they may be best managed across different institutional settings to enable more effective policy-making that benefits both migrants and host communities. To engage its key target groups (national and EU policy actors, interest groups, and the scientific community), PRIME will create a ‘PRIME-Hub’ for joint knowledge creation and exchange which will extend beyond the project life-time. In this way PRIME will go beyond simple ‘best-practice’ models by providing evidence on context-sensitive strategies and policy tools as a basis for achievable and sustainable policy-making on irregular migrants.
