In diverse ways, these changes can be seen as responses to globalization, to increased sub-national regional independence, to the emerging idea of nurturing ‘creative industries’ taking hold, and as a result

Although researchers across the social sciences speak of a linguistic turn, most research exploring culture still assumes a traditional perspective on language, which conceives meaning as representation.

The activity flourishes due to poverty and criminality, as well as medical needs (infertility) and cultural needs (the dream of parenthood).

The problem grew bigger in 2014 and 2015, when Syrian migrants illegally entered some frontier Member States, forcing the European Union to introduce a new relocation mechanism that is far from being more effective than previous solutions.
