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

对于欧洲各地非正常移徙者的状况如何以及为何差异如此之大，人们知之甚少。造成这种差异的关键是各国和各部门的体制状况不同。了解体制差异的作用和影响，以及与之相关的利益，是国家和欧盟对非正常移民采取有效政策的关键前提。PRIME将提供一种新的比较制度方法，以了解欧洲非正常移民的状况和脆弱性。了解“非正常”是一个复杂的，性别的状态，它将进行大规模的调查，结构化的政策分析，并与非正常移民，雇主，政策行为者，利益集团和选民在八个欧洲国家的定性访谈。PRIME将对国家社会经济机构（包括国家劳动力市场法规和福利机构）、部门政策以及移民和公民的行动和利益如何塑造移民的结果和经历进行新的分析。PRIME将研究在针对非正常移民的政策制定中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，以实现更有效的政策制定，使移民和东道国社区受益。为了吸引其主要目标群体（国家和欧盟政策参与者、利益集团和科学界），PRIME将创建一个“PRIME中心”，用于联合知识创造和交流，这将超出项目的生命周期。通过这种方式，PRIME将超越简单的“最佳做法”模式，提供关于对背景敏感的战略和政策工具的证据，作为关于非正常移民的可实现和可持续的决策的基础。

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.
