Walczak & Walczak show that emerging adults’ migratory readiness and mobility experiences are higher than those of older cohorts. Growing up in mobile families remains the strongest driver of intent and actual relocation. Link: bit.ly/4rPk5KM
Central and Eastern European Migration Review
@ceemr-journal.bsky.social
Publishing #openaccess and #peerreviewed research on migration within, into and out of the Central and Eastern Europe region.
In the last paper in the special section, Ivanka Kyliushyk, Dominika Winogrodzka and Emil Chról demonstrate that Ukrainian refugee women experience the vicious circle of liminality shaped by disrupted lives, fractured identities and belonging tensions. Link: bit.ly/3VVlovQ
The next paper in this special section, written by Wilsch, Hlinčíková, Tužinská, and Štefková, argues that asymmetry and unintelligibility in institutional meaning-making obscure refugees' lived knowledge and needs, deepening vulnerability. Link: bit.ly/4cJookJ
In the first paper in our special section, Katarzyna Krakowska and Kamil Łuczaj demonstrate how organisational chaos and conflicting institutional logics can erode trust and enable abuse. Link: bit.ly/4hyTEGk
In the editorial for the special section of the new CEEMR issue, Lucie Macková, Luděk Jirka, Mateusz Kamionka, and Monika Nowicka aim to move beyond viewing Ukrainian refugees solely through the lens of forced displacement. Link: bit.ly/4gHLryS
@dominikapsz.bsky.social, Emilia Szyszkowska, Sara Bojarczuk, Kamil Matuszczyk and @maciekduszczyk.bsky.social argue that in the short term, the Polish healthcare system remained largely resilient, despite incorporating +1 million new patients from Ukraine. Link: bit.ly/4iBJ3uI
Van Haaften, Sethi & Williams-Habibi find that European transnational carers’ experiences are mediated by cultural, gendered and occupational factors, as well as cross-border demands. Despite some employer flexibility, limited policy awareness requires carers to self-advocate. Link: bit.ly/4xI7Bqs
Integration is often described as a shared responsibility. Kyliushyk, Winogrodzka, Trąbka, Blachnicka-Ciacek and Pietrusińska show how it increasingly becomes an individual responsibility borne by migrants themselves – a phenomenon they refer to as self-responsibilisation. Link: bit.ly/4wsV0X3
Kováčová, Mýtna Kureková & Studenás' study illustrates that the divide in the literature between sending and receiving countries is outdated – supposed ‘sending’ countries like Slovakia are receiving substantial numbers of posted workers and posting in different ways than before.Link: bit.ly/4xcgNDA
In her new article, based on in-depth qualitative interviews, Tamar Khoshtaria examines how migration experiences have influenced and potentially reshaped the values and beliefs of young Georgians. Link: bit.ly/4wufNtb @akazlowska.bsky.social @cmr-warsaw.bsky.social
Dóra Gábriel, Krisztina Németh and Monika Váradi present how German migrants over 50 explain their decisions to relocate to Hungary and demonstrate the complex and changing nexus of economic, lifestyle-oriented, political and ideological motivations shaping their returns. Link: bit.ly/4w1rpU9
Erik Snel and Godfried Engbersen revisit the concept of liquid migration, showing that East-West migration can lead to three different patterns: permanent or long-term settlement; flexible lifestyles and careers (‘temporariness by choice’) or being ‘trapped in liquid migration’.Link: bit.ly/45prdn7
Out now! Our new issue with articles on various topics, i.a. liquid migration, young migrants, gender and a special section dedicated to the reflexivity of migration trends in research on Ukrainian refugees: ceemr.uw.edu.pl/issues/vol-1... @akazlowska.bsky.social @cmr-warsaw.bsky.social
Keizer and Sasunkevich show that structural factors, social status, the degree of integration, and the sense of (non)belonging are crucial in understanding how migrants navigate differences in gender values and norms between home and host societies. Link: bit.ly/4tigfct
In her newly published paper, Agnieszka Kosiorowska-Le Rall argues that Polish migrants in France negotiate their identity through embracing or distancing themselves from various discourses on race, sexuality and religion. Link: bit.ly/4mK6Ubx @akazlowska.bsky.social @cmr-warsaw.bsky.social
@dorijano.bsky.social argues that Albanian 'irregular' migration to the UK should not be viewed solely as a criminal act. Rather, it emerges from governance-produced statuses and is shaped by sociocultural practices. Link: bit.ly/4dXTIxB @akazlowska.bsky.social @cmr-warsaw.bsky.social
Olga Wanicka’s article explores how a vlogger blurs formal and informal roles by playing with the expectations and needs via ‘performance authenticity’, achieved thanks to the mediated presence and intimacy. Link: bit.ly/49szecp @akazlowska.bsky.social @cmr-warsaw.bsky.social
Ivan Kozachenko examines diasporic engagements with the homeland and the effect of conflict on diaspora-homeland relationships, demonstrating that despite the Russian existential threat to Ukraine, the Ukrainian World Congress has not resorted to radical or ‘transgressive’ rhetoric and actions.
Ráchel Surányi and Endre Sik compare Hungary and Poland in terms of xenophobia, showing that its level is, and likely to remain, higher in Hungary due to the continuous anti-refugee government propaganda campaign and a mix of political, historical and cultural effects. bit.ly/4jy28fF
Analysis of Tamás Varga, Zsófia Rakovics and Endre Sik indicates that Hungarian pro-government media altered the emotional framing of refugees directly after the Russian–Ukrainian war outbreak; however, longitudinal patterns reveal reversion to pre-existing framing practices. Link: bit.ly/49dz49R
Endre Sik and Péter Krekó explain the role of the moral panic button (MPB) in creating crisis- and fear-mongering campaigns, arguing that it is crucial in building the Hungarian version of informational autocracy (IA). Link: bit.ly/4brCAyN @cmr-warsaw.bsky.social @akazlowska.bsky.social
Dumitru Sandu examines the relationship between the return migration of Romanians and re-emigration abroad. Returnees who plan to go abroad again are more dissatisfied with public institutions in Romania than those who have not and do not plan to emigrate. bit.ly/4qNpHnf
In her article, Neva Öztürk warns that excessive flexibility in temporary protection erodes legal certainty, expands discretion, and threatens protection standards. Link: bit.ly/3N3kkBS @akazlowska.bsky.social @cmr-warsaw.bsky.social
Ráchel Surányi and Éva Bognár illustrate how the Hungarian government’s approach towards refugees shifted between 2015 and 2022, not altering the main narrative, but introducing a new aspect of deservingness. Link: bit.ly/49nR9AO @cmr-warsaw.bsky.social @akazlowska.bsky.social
In his newly published paper, Jonathan Scovil demonstrates that future-oriented narratives explain contrasting Polish views on migrants from Belarus and Ukraine. Link: bit.ly/4960pe9 @cmr-warsaw.bsky.social @akazlowska.bsky.social
Marilena Nicula shows in her new paper that flexible residency rules and higher wages drive Romanian medical graduates to migrate, mainly to Germany, UK, France, Sweden, and Belgium. Link: bit.ly/3YTb1Hg
Dushi reveals how first-generation of #Kosovo Albanian migrants, like the Gastarbeiter ones, rather engaged in passive or survival-based strategies while younger generations (children of the first generation but also migrants who came after 1989) tend to integrate more proactively: bit.ly/4nQL1qF
New: @MartaKindler & Maciej Tygielski present how migrant organisations and social-media platforms emerged to fill in the gaps of operational uncertainty regarding implementation of temporary protection for Ukrainians in Poland: bit.ly/45Y3WJR
Have a look at temporary protection in the #US. Inlender sees the US schemes such as Uniting for Ukraine (U4U) to be a crucial mechanism in the face of a declining Refugee Convention, however, with the risk of subjectivity, solitariness and instability: bit.ly/4nlf7C9
Amna Shafqat: the access to higher education for refugees is constrained by lack of contacts and integrative activities with society in #Czechia while the state has no measures, schemes or strategies to support the asylum beneficiaries in that matter. Link bit.ly/4lgLpwG @cmr-warsaw.bsky.social
