The invention of the passport : surveillance, citizenship and the state
\"In an obscure paragraph of a package of immigration reforms adopted in 1996, the United States government committed itself to developing \"an automated system to track the entry and exit of all non-citizens, thus providing a way of identifying immigrants who stay longer than their visas allow.\" At the time that the legislation was supposed to be put into effect, however, some in the government came to regard this measure as likely to cause undue complications for millions of border- crossers, and the implementation of the law was postponed for two and a half years\"-- Provided by publisher.

Mrs. Shipley's ghost
Today, when a single person can turn an airplane into a guided missile, no one objects to rigorous security before flying. But can the state simply declare some people too dangerous to travel, ever and anywhere? Does the Constitution protect a fundamental right to travel? Should the mode of travel (car, plane, or boat) or itinerary (domestic or international) make a constitutional difference? This book explores the legal and policy questions raised by government travel restrictions, from passports and rubber stamps to computerized terrorist watchlists. In tracing the history and scope of U.S. travel regulations, Jeffrey Kahn begins with the fascinating story of Mrs. Ruth Shipley, a federal employee who almost single-handedly controlled access to passports during the Cold War. Kahn questions how far national security policies should go and whether the government should be able to declare some individuals simply too dangerous to travel. An expert on constitutional law, Kahn argues that U.S. citizens' freedom to leave the country and return is a fundamental right, protected by the Constitution.

Understanding children’s perceptions and activities in urban public spaces
As public spaces are often designed based on adults’ behavioural patterns and perceptions, children’s perceptions and physical needs based on their body size have received less attention in both the design of urban spaces and urban studies. Focusing on the interpretive reproduction theory, this study aims to investigate children’s perceptions of urban spaces. Using behaviour and mental mapping, this paper examines children’s activities in public spaces as well as their mental images of such spaces. Behaviour mapping was conducted over 37 days on the Zrêbar Lake Waterfront in Kurdistan. Sketches drawn by 36 children were then analysed to identify children’s perceptions of the Waterfront. Unlike conventional methods in which children’s demands are determined through caregivers, this study focuses on engagement with children. Results indicate that two main factors of actualised environmental affordances (AEA) and safety-conscious parenting practices (SPP) have a significant influence on children’s freedom of movement (CFM) and consequently children’s activities in public spaces.
由于公共空间的设计通常基于成人的行为模式和感知，因此儿童基于其身量的感知和身体需要在城市空间设计和城市研究中受到的关注较少。本研究以解释性再生产理论为核心，旨在研究儿童对城市空间的感知。本文运用行为和心理测绘，考察了儿童在公共空间的活动以及他们对这些空间的心理形象。我们在库尔德斯坦的择布里巴（Zrêbar）湖滨水区进行了37天的行为测绘。然后，我们分析了36名儿童的绘画，以确定这些儿童对该滨水区的看法。我们的方法与传统方法不同。在传统方法中，儿童的需要是通过照顾者来确定的，本研究则侧重于与儿童的互动。结果表明，实际环境提供 (AEA) 和安全意识育儿做法 (SPP) 这两大主要因素对儿童的行动自由 (CFM)、进而对儿童在公共空间内的活动有重大影响。

The postdiaspora condition : crossborder social protection, transnational schooling, and extraterritorial human security
\"This book aims to fill a void in the literature on the contributions of the state to the social protection, educational training, and human security of its overseas citizens. Additionally, Michel S. Laguerre seeks to explain the rise of the postdiaspora condition: an emancipatory metamorphosis of diaspora status. Laguerre pays particular attention to the crossborder services that the state provides, transfrontier mechanisms developed by various institutions, as well as extraterritorial forms of management and governance. He sheds light on complex crossborder arrangements and management, the multiplicity of crossborder agencies and organizations, and the promulgation of new laws that provide a legal basis for these extraterritorial undertakings by the state. The ability of emigrants to hold citizen status--and to enjoy access to the same rights and privileges as those offered to residents of the homeland--sets the cosmonational context for the performance of the postdiaspora condition\"-- Provided by publisher.

Europe between Migrations, Decolonization and Integration (1945–1992)
This monograph addresses mobility and migrations as contributing phenomena in shaping contemporary Europe after 1945, in connection with decolonisation and the creation of the European Community. The disappearing of the colonial empires caused a large movement of people (former colonizers as well as formerly colonized people) from the extra-European countries to the “Old continent”; while the European integration project encouraged the movement of the citizens within the Community. The book retraces how, in both cases, migrations and mobility impacted the way national communities, as well as the European one, have been defining themselves and their real and imaginary boundaries.

Open borders : in defense of free movement
\"Today we live in a world of walls and closed borders, but what should the world look like tomorrow? Open Borders counters the knee-jerk reaction to restrict migration by arguing that there is not a moral, legal, philosophical, or economic case for limiting the movement of human beings at borders. The book brings together influential theorists for open borders with activists working to make safe passage a reality on the ground to put forward a clear, concise, and convincing case for a world of open borders\"-- Provided by publisher.

Implementing digital passports for SARS-CoV-2 immunization in Canada
Wilson and Flood discuss how SARS-CoV-2 immunization passports could work, the infrastructure required to operationalize them and potential barriers and limitations to their use. Public authorities and private entities may soon require people to provide proof of immunization to severe acute respiratory syndome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in certain contexts as an adjunct to efforts to safely re-open society. In Canada, provincial and territorial governments should ensure their ability to issue a crytographically signed digital vaccination record from a government repository to operationalize immunization passports that meet national standards and are aligned with international initiatives. If governments do not implement immunization passports, private corporations (e.g., airlines and large event venues) may develop their own requirements and systems, potentially leading to problems related to equity, privacy and coercion. Limited access to vaccines, technology and other resources may prevent people from using immunization passports.
