The Multicultural Center Prague has just released a new online publication
entitled Migration Processes in Central and Eastern Europe: Unpacking the
Diversity. It is downloadable at
www.migrationonline.cz/news_f.shtml?x=1691483.
The publication looks into various, previously unexplored aspects of
migration processes in the region, making them available to an
English-reading audience. It originated from a series of papers presented at
the Workshop on Developments and Patterns of Migration Processes in Central
and Eastern Europe organised at the Faculty of Humanities of Charles
University in Prague in August 2005.
The institutional and policy developments in the field of migration and
asylum have been shaped by the expansion of the European Union towards the
East as well as by the dynamics of migration and refugee flows, including
their perceptions, in respective nation-states. Diverse strategies and
practices both on the part of migrants and local populations have emerged in
response to the efforts to control and organise migration in the region. The
topics of articles range from the Duldung trauma of Bosnian refugees in
Berlin, the impact of EU enlargement on Moldova´s 'three and a half'
borders, mobility of German retirees to Hungary, exploitation of Ukrainian
labour migrants in the Czech Republic to comparisons of internal and
international migration of Bulgarian Muslims.
The fourteen articles accompanied by interviews with representatives of
non-governmental organisations are organised in the four following sections:
Construction of Borders and Practices of Labour Migration; Migration through
Gender, Age and Class Perspectives; Refugees in Central and Eastern Europe;
Normative and Methodological Discussion of Migration and Integration.
The publication edited by Alice Szczepaniková, Marek Èanìk and Jan Grill is
available online at www.migrationonline.cz, a specialised website on
migration in Central and Eastern Europe.
