    International Students: Switzerland’s Ideal Highly Skilled Migrants?
    (2018)

    International students are viewed by many countries as ideal immigrants: having studied at a local institution, they are assumed to better perform in the highly skilled labor market than internationally educated migrants. A global race for talent is thus going on, and several countries are putting policies in place to attract international students. Switzerland has also introduced policies to facilitate the stay of students from non-EU countries after graduation. Do they reach the desired goal?

    The Global Race for Talent in Switzerland. How to Explain Migration Policy Liberalisation to Allow International Students Staying after Graduation?

    Since the 1990s, Swiss immigration policies have placed more restrictions on non-EU nationals living and working in Switzerland. However, in 2011, based on the initiative of university professor and parliamentarian Jacques Neirynck, the Swiss Parliament approved a new law facilitating the admission and integration of non-EU nationals with a Swiss university degree. How can this policy openness in times of closure be explained? To address this question we examined the narratives crafted by Swiss parliamentarians during the parliamentarian debate - both in favour of and against the draft bill. The main methods used were qualitative analysis of the minutes of parliamentarian debates and in-depth interviews with key political actors. In light of our results, we propose a threedimensional approach to explain why immigration policy liberalisation occurs: (a) the effectiveness of the narratives crafted by policy elites to convince parliamentarians, (b) the appropriate conditions created by the temporal and geographical context, and (c) the biographical capacity of the policy initiators to effect policy change. Emerging from this multi-dimensional approach is a unique perspective of analysis which can be used to understand policy change in migration studies.

    Les expériences de retour des sans-papier rentrés en Equateur : Ressources et défis, mesures proposés pour un retour viable
    (2013)
    Riaño, Yvonne 
    Notre compréhension de la migration du retour est encore très limitée. Ce sujet n’a que peu retenu l’attention des spécialistes de la migration et il existe peu d’études qui donnent une vision différenciée sur les divers types de « retourné-e-s », leurs motivations à retourner dans leurs pays, les défis qu’ils/elles affrontent et les ressources dont ils/elles disposent pour parvenir à se réinsérer dans les pays d’origine. Il existe en particulier un manque important d’études qui examinent en détail la situation spécifique du retour des migrant-e-s sans-papiers et l’impact de l’aide de programmes gouvernementaux pour leur réinsertion socio-économique. Cette lacune est particulièrement marquée dans le cas de la Suisse. Confronté à la situation d’absence d’évaluations des programmes d’appui au retour des sans-papiers, et dans le but d’y apporter des améliorations possibles à son propre programme, le Service de la Population du canton de Vaud a chargé Yvonne Riaño de mener une recherche sur la situation de retour des sans-papiers retournés en Équateur entre 2008-2010 avec l’appui du programme. La recherche présentée ici se base sur un travail de terrain réalisé en Équateur en 2010. Nous avons rencontré 25 familles (70% du total des familles rentrées avec l’aide du Canton de Vaud) habitant dans diverses régions du pays et avons recueilli leurs expériences de retour. La méthodologie choisie pour la récolte des données est qualitative et combine entretiens narratifs et semi-directifs. La recherche examine les raisons d'émigration et du retour des personnes interviewées ainsi que la situation actuelle de leurs projets de réinsertion, leurs ressources disponibles et le défis auxquels elles font face pour la réalisation de leurs projets. Six principes clés sont proposés pour repenser l’aide au retour de façon à pouvoir garantir un retour viable.

    The production of knowledge as a « Minga » : challenges and opportunities of a new methodological approch based on co-determination and reciprocity
    (2012)
    Riaño, Yvonne 
    This paper presents a new methodological approach, entitled "MINGA", developed with the goal of achieving a more equitable working relationship between the researcher and her/his research subjects while also reaching a deeper understanding of the reality being researched. The question of what type of representations we produce as researchers, and with what consequences, has been addressed for some time now by post-colonial and feminist academics. Such critiques have been valuable in highlighting the need to generate new research practices that go beyond representation as the sole domain of researchers, and have thus contributed to "decolonizing" research methods. At the same time have there have been more efforts to theorize than to developing and implementing critical and collaborative methodologies. MINGA proposes a new approach, consisting of establishing research partnerships with the studied subjects, which are oriented by the principles of co-determination and reciprocity. The term MINGA was chosen to highlight parallels with the ancestral practice of "minga", dating back to Inca times, of the collective production of goods for the benefit of the community, without monetary exchange and on the basis of reciprocity. The methodology MINGA is therefore a form of co-production of knowledge where the mutual benefit is the expansion of the social and cultural capital of all of the research partners. Developing such methodologies requires first an exhaustive and critical reflection on the barriers that are to be overcome to create more egalitarian research relationships. Because few efforts have been made to identify them and think about how they could be dismantled, these barriers still remain invisible to some academics. After outlining a typology of such barriers, the article describes the guiding principles of the MINGA methodology. It ends by discussing the challenges and potentials of this new methodological approach.
