Monday, September 9 18:00 – 21:00

Opening addresses and welcome reception Moderators: Yngve Lithman and Eva Haagensen Words of Welcome: Mr. Meyer Burstein, Co-Chair of the International Metropolis Project Welcome address: Ms. Erna Solberg, Minister of Local Government and Regional Development The Political Challenges of Migration in a Globalizing World Keynote Address: Prof. Zygmunt Bauman City of Hopes - City of Fears: Urban Life in the Double Bind of Individualization and Globalisation Zygmunt Bauman has devoted himself to the critical appraisal of contemporary society. Recently, his focus has been on globalization and its social consequences. Throughout, he has championed the preeminence of ethical underpinnings for daily life and the re-moralization of public space in the sphere of political action. His lecture will dwell on classic Metropolis themes, the city, globalization, migration, the complexities of urban life. Evening Reception at the Radisson SAS Plaza Hotel

Tuesday September 10 9:00 - 13:00

Gender Issues Gender issues will be a recurrent theme this day, first as one item in presentations about multiculturalism, later as a significant feature in a treatment of refugee issues, especially gender-based persecution. Opening Remarks and introduction of Prof.Young by Moderator: Prof. Rainer Bauböck, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Austria Keynote Address Professor Iris M. Young, Professor, Political Science, University of Chicago, USA Inclusion, Democracy and Gender Iris Young is prominent among social scientists in debates around cultural pluralism, gender, and social justice. In this keynote, she will continue the discussion of the interrelationships between how our societies are gendered, how this manifests itself in issues related to multiculturalism, and also what questions related to social justice that then present themselves. Iris Young is affiliated with the Gender Studies Center and the Human Rights program University of Chicago Debate: Is Multiculturalism a Model for Managing Diversity and Social Cohesion? Participants with opposing views on multiculturalism are invited to a debate. A defining feature of modern societies is their struggle to accommodate diversity. In this struggle, a philosophy and a set of policies collectively referred to as ‘multiculturalism’ has achieved a somewhat favoured status. This, however, is not a development without its critics. A debate is starting to take shape around several related questions. To these belong: how should multicultural societies balance individual and collective rights; how should they strike a balance between group values and national values; how should one pursue social cohesion while, at the same time, support freedom of cultural expression; how should one resolve the tensions that arise between the values of individual freedoms and the, sometimes conflicting, values held by immigrant and ethnic communities who do not to the same extent embrace such values. This latter point has been especially prominent in feminist concerns around gender issues. This session will investigate multiculturalism ideals and policies and some of the challenges they pose by means of a debate between representatives of various positions. The debate will be led by a moderator who will be charged with bringing out the critical issues as they present themselves in actual policymaking. Moderator: Prof. Rainer Bauböck, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Austria Panelists: Joseph Carens, Professor, Department of Political Science, University of Toronto, Canada Jean Augustine, Secretary of State, Multiculturalism and Status of Women, Canada Iris Young, Professor, University of Chicago, USA Refreshment Break Panel: The World’s Refugees, Human Rights and Gender-Based Persecution This session will open with an exposé of the global situation of refugees in the early part of the 21st century. It will briefly describe who today’s refugees are, their numbers, where and what they are fleeing, and the capacity of the world’s politically stable and democratic regimes to contribute to remedial measures, including the activities related to UNHCR’s Global Consultations. The panel will specifically address gender-based persecution. Present legislation does not adequately respond to the particular protection needs of women who make up a significant portion of the world’s population of refugees and others of concern to UNHCR and the international community. Gender based persecution need to be considered in the context of notions of discrimination and persecution more generally, and in the frame of fundamental human rights in particular. An abstract of the present situation in the receiving countries will be given and show how gender related aspects of an asylum claim can been reflected in the determination process. A comprehensive understanding of the concept of gender-based persecution as well as a gendered framework for the interpretation of the key elements of the 1951 Geneva Convention is necessary. One theme here is what recommendations could be made for how our governments ought to respond to gender-based persecutions. Moderator: Astri Suhrke, Dr, Senior Research Fellow and political scientist (Ph.D.) Christian Michelsen Institute (CMI), Bergen, Norway Diane Goodman, Snr.Training Officer, Department of International Protection,UNHCR,Switzerland Deborah E. Anker, Head of Harvard Law School Immigration and Refugee Clinic, USA Agnete Strøm, FOKUS-Forum for Women and Development, Norway 13:00 - 14:30 Lunch 14:30 –18:00 Concurrent workshops

Wednesday September 11 9:00 - 13:00

Panel: Citizenship, Societal Membership, and the Integration of Immigrants The panel will discuss the future of national citizenship regimes, the likely evolution in the concept and practice of citizenship, and the influence on policy of how notions of belonging, societal membership and citizenship do or should or have to coincide. Both academics and practitioners do question the role played by formal offers of citizenship in the social and political integration of immigrants. With an eye to this change, discussants will examine the contested role of citizenship as an instrument of public policy, what it is capable of achieving and what it no longer presides over. Moderator, Andreas Føllesdal, Professor of Philosophy/ Research Professor ARENA (Advanced Research on the Europeanisation of the Nation-State), and Norwegian Institute of Human Rights, Faculty of Law, University of Oslo, Norway Panelists: Virginie Guiraudon, Research fellow, National Center for Scientific Research (CRAPS), France Hakan G. Sicakkan, Researcher IMER/Bergen, Norway, Joseph Carens,Professor Department of Political Science, University of Toronto, Canada Gerhard Sabathil, EU-ambassador to Norway and Iceland Refreshment Break September 11, One Year Later This day one year ago the New York World Trade Center towers were destroyed in a terrorist attack that had a profound impact on many issues related to Metropolis concerns. Opening Remarks and introduction of Prof. Gilroy by moderator Bruce Kapferer, Department of Social Anthropology, University of Bergen, Norway Keynote address: Prof. Paul Gilroy, The African American Studies, Yale University, USA September 11, One Year After Panel: September 11, One Year Later The terrorist attacks against the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington focused attention on the nexus between migration and national security. Abruptly, the public discourse of borders became focused on the need for protection against external threats. Globalisation, by many seen as a major vehicle for both economic prosperity as well as the spread of democratic ideas, was now seen to also contain, not least through its international migration component, significant dangers to national safety. One effect has been a much greater emphasis on ensuring that newcomers hold an allegiance to national interests. It has also been a concerted effort by public authorities and by NGOs to prevent an aggressive backlash against immigrants, especially those originated in Muslim countries. The long-term effects of ‘Sept. 11’ are still uncertain. That the issues concerning the relationships between globalization, international migration, national safety, human rights and migrants’ loyalty to their new countries have been energized is beyond doubt. What are the policy implications of this? Moderator Bruce Kapferer, Department of Social Anthropology, University of Bergen, Norway Panelists: Ms. Eve Lester, Refugee Coordinator,Amnesty International, UK Prof. Paul Gilroy, The African American Studies, Yale University, USA Dr. Thu Nguyen-Hoan, Assistant Secretary, Multicultural Affairs Branch, Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs, Australia Prof. James Jupp,Australian National University, Australia 13:00 - 14:30 Lunch 14:30 –18:00 Concurrent Workshops

Thursday September 12 9:00 – 13:00

The Future of Our Cities: Citizenship and Governance Our cities, especially our big cities, are where the majority of immigrants choose to live. Today, there is a vigorous debate over how these cities are changing and what role immigrants have in the transformation. In North America, fear has been expressed that so-called global cities will develop hour-glass economies, with a large category of financially, socially, culturally, and politically well-off people at the top and a large category of people struggling with minimal resources at the bottom, including the bulk of the immigrant population. In Europe, on the other hand, it has been claimed that the traditional middle class will continue to dominate the way cities are shaped. Inherent in this argument is the notion that European cities are less stratified and will thus provide more equal life chances for their inhabitants. Following two presentations expounding, first on the Los Angeles and then on European experiences, there will be two panel sessions. Opening Remarks and introduction, Moderator Yngve Georg Lithman, University of Bergen, Norway Keynote Address Michael J. Dear, Professor, Geography Department, University of Southern California, USA The Los Angeles Experience: Solitude or Prototype? Michael Dear conducts research on Los Angeles, post modern urbanism, and political and social geography. Keynote Address Hartmut Häussermann, Professor of Urban and Regional Sociology,Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany The European City: Togetherness and Diversity Hartmut Häussermann has done extensive research on urban development, urban governance, social problems and changes of the socio-spatial structure in European cities 11:00 – 11:30 Refreshment Break Panel: How Citizenship, Governance, and Life Chances Develop in the Big Cities The first panel will explore urban changes with particular reference to what can be called the ‘citizenship of the city’ and its implications for immigrants and for urban governance. Panelists will address the question of how members of a city can be given an effective political voice and how this affects their life chances. Moderator Yngve Georg Lithman, University of Bergen, Norway Panelists: Pauline Geoghegan,Director of Communication, Eurocities, Belgium Pål Brun, Commissioner City of Oslo,Norway Les Back, Professor, Goldsmith University, UK Panel: Youth in the Diverse City The second panel will feature an enlargement of the panel and a corresponding shift in focus towards the situation facing youth, especially immigrant youth. The panel will explore their ability to participate in the political process thereby shaping the opportunities available to them and hence their futures within the city. Moderator Mette Andersson, IMER-University of Bergen, Norway Panelists: Les Back, Professor, Goldsmith University,UK Mette Andersson, Researcher IMER, University of Bergen, Norway Anita Rathore, Organization Against Public Discrimination (OMOD), Norway 13:00 - 14:30 Lunch 14:30 – 18:00 Concurrent Workshops

Friday September 13 9:00 – 11:00

This first session will be devoted to a discussion of the relationships between sending and receiving countries, and also the instruments whereby migration flows can be influenced. Opening Remarks and introduction, Moderator Trygve Nordby, Director, Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) Keynote Presentation Patricia A. Santo Tomas,Labour Secretary, Department of Labour and Employment,Philippines Reconciling the Concerns of Sending and Receiving countries Panel: Are We Moving Towards a General Migration Agreement? Governments throughout the world are increasingly aware of the growing importance of international migration. Until recently, policies regarding migration have remained largely a matter of sovereign prerogative. Now, as the number of migrants continues to increase and the complexity of movements within and across regions grows, there is a new willingness to examine co-operative inter-state approaches aimed at planning and managing the humane and orderly movement of people. This session will explore ideas for inter-state co-operation in the management of international migration. Different countries have different priorities with regard to international migration, and the differences include a host of contemporary factors such as the demographic pressures facing the developed world; the emerging global competition for highly skilled workers; the problem of mixed flows; the progress of human rights; xenophobic reactions in the receiving countries; the links between migration and security; and the renewed interest in linking migration and economic development and reconstruction. Moderator Trygve Nordby, Director, Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) Panelists: Patricia A. Santo Tomas,Labour Secretary, Department of Labour and Employment,Philippines Richard Lewis, Deputy Head of Unit Asylum & Immigration, European Commission Jean-Daniel Gerber, Director, Federal Office for Refugees, Switzerland Gervais Appave, Director, Migration and Policy Programme, International Organisation of Migraton (IOM) Demetrios Papademetriou, Co-Director, Migration Policy Institute,USA 11:00 – 11:30 Refreshment Break Panel: Emerging Issues in Migration Health As migration from developing countries to the west intensifies, the consequences of marked health inequalities, and different notions about health, among nations are increasingly manifesting themselves. This session will examine the wide-ranging policy challenges that face countries in the health arena as a result of migration. The challenges range over the public health imperative to see access to health as a human right to the task of adjusting health care services to provide sensitive, effective, accessible and timely health care to immigrants and refugees. This session highlights the important link between migration and health. Health and migration, a theme that will be taken up more forcefully at the next Metropolis conference in Vienna – will explore different aspects of the health challenges and comment on the policy responses that are emerging. Moderator: Howard Duncan, Executive Head of Metropolis Canada Panelists: Brian Gushulak, Director General, CIC Medical Services, Canada Harald Siem (Emerging Issues in Migration Health), Ambassador, Task Force on Communicable Disease Control in the Baltic Sea Region,Ministry of Health, Norway Nora Ahlberg, Professor in Psychology, Director of the Norwegian Natioanl Centre for Research on Somatic and Mental-Health Care of Minorities, Norway Announcement of the Eight International Metropolis Conference in Vienna Sepember 2003 Renate Brauner, City Councillor City of Vienna, Austria 12:50 – 13:00 Closing remarks Rinus Penninx Co-chair of the International Metropolis Project 13:00 – 14:00 Farewell lunch
