Characteristics of Temporary Migration in European-Asian Transnational Social Spaces

The book "Characteristics of Temporary Migration in European-Asian Transnational Social Spaces" examines the experiences of temporary migration between Asia and Europe from the perspective of migrants and mobile individuals. It highlights key questions such as the motivations for temporary migration and its significance. The authors analyze how these migration pathways are shaped and what effects temporary movements have on migrants as well as non-migrants. Additionally, it discusses how transnational ties and practices are characterized in the context of temporary migration. By focusing on individual experiences, the book provides valuable insights into the challenges of an increasingly interconnected and mobile world. The chapters illustrate that temporary migration movements are increasing both voluntarily, as seen in labor migration and international student mobility, and involuntarily, as in various forms of forced migration. These movements have diverse political, legal, economic, social, and cultural implications, including the emergence of new transnational networks and practices.
