Central and Eastern European Migration Review

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

Miha Zobec in his historical analysis argues that diaspora-building in interwar Yugoslavia was linked to overcoming internal divisions and restoring political legitimacy in the country ill-equipped to provide support for its citizens abroad. Link: bit.ly/3J66M6t @cmr-warsaw.bsky.social

Anna Sára Ligeti (HUN-REN Centre for Social Sciences, Univ. of Pécs) draws a methodological conclusion that interrupted time-series analysis methods can be employed to quantify the impact of significant future events and policy changes on migration processes: bit.ly/450lTqR @cmr-warsaw.bsky.social

Pavić, Žanić & Bendra, drawing on their research in #Croatia, point out that the intention to stay in a peripheral local community is related to higher place attachment, traditionalism, and a lower preference for personal autonomy: bit.ly/45gSeZp @cmr-warsaw.bsky.social

Waterbury @ohiou.bsky.social argues that hybrid regimes co-opt and control #diaspora organisations through curtailing opposition access, expanding patronage networks, & establishing ideological hegemony through media activities - for their geopolitical goals: bit.ly/4mDWyJl @cmr-warsaw.bsky.social

Artūras Tereškinas (Vytautas Magnus University) employs the concepts of ‘sticky emotions’ and ‘homemaking’ to analyse #queer migration as a ‘process of emotional disentanglement from the home country and emotional attachment to host countries‘. Link: bit.ly/4o8WjYh @cmr-warsaw.bsky.social

Aadne Aasland (Oslo Metropolitan University) & Oleksandra Deineko (Oslo Metropolitan University & Karazin Kharkiv National University) point out that #Ukrainian refugees in #Norway often decide to leave this welfare state due to the feeling of loyalty to their homeland. More: bit.ly/4m5zqTw

Małgorzata Odolczyk addresses the governance of #refugees #integration in #Poland and argues that #gender is not discursively constructed as threatened by the influx of migrants, as it is rarely claimed to be a part of Polish national identity ‘in danger’: bit.ly/45mjTJm @cmr-warsaw.bsky.social

Check out our new issue with 9 articles on such topics as transnationalism, Ukrainian refugees, and acculturation. As always #openaccess: https//ceemr.uw.ed...

New: Vidra (HUN-REN, Eötvös Loránd Univ) & Messing (HUN-REN, CEU) argue that Hungarian government media instrumentalised Ukrainian refugees by emphasising its own political agenda, which contrasted with the more humanitarian focus present in independent media. Link: bit.ly/3GVGHGe

New article: Jan Bazyli Klakla, Paulina Szydłowska-Klakla, and
Marisol Navas proposed variation of the acculturation model which emphasises the relational nature of values, positioning them as a transversal element present in every psychosocial domain. Link: bit.ly/42XS1Kt @cmr-warsaw.bsky.social

New paper: Yulia Kiselyova & Viktoriia Ivashchenko, from the V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, provide strong support for recognizing the process of self-identification among Ukrainian academics as a distinct and significant form of agency. Link: bit.ly/4j1zX7Y @cmr-warsaw.bsky.social

New: Zdeněk Uherek & Veronika Beranská show the growing importance of institutional ties in the destinations for Czech diaspora: although diasporas are dispersed and their members do not communicate with each other, they are capable of joint action: bit.ly/4jhoj8P @cmr-warsaw.bsky.social

New: Papp, Kovács, & Kováts from the HUN-REN Centre for Social Sciences in Budapest, drawing on Hungarian Diaspora Policy, describe three distinctive categories of Hungarian emigrants regarding how they undergo processes of diasporization. Link: bit.ly/4j2CE9v @cmr-warsaw.bsky.social

New: Baldacchino, Krčál, Naxera, Mochernak, Gekić, Redmond, drawing on their study in Plzeň, argue that "beer explains the world" as migrants of all kinds - from workers to brewers - are behind beers that may be marketed as national identity symbols. Link: bit.ly/4kINC58 @cmr-warsaw.bsky.social

We remind you of our previous papers on Ukrainians displaced after 2022. Oleksii Pozniak from the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine argued in 2023 to improve the situation of foreigners remaining in UA or planning to return there after the end of the war (link in a comment)

Link to the article: bit.ly/3XSEDV5

New: Aneta Skorupa-Wulczyńska addresses the high dropout rate of Ukrainian minors under TP in Poland and argues that states’ failure to efficiently implement language policy in schools strongly contributes to the social disintegration of young migrants (link in a comment). @cmr-warsaw.bsky.social

New: Aigerim Yerken & Lan Anh Nguyen Luu from ELTE Eötvös Loránd University described the ‘cultural encapsulation’ phenomenon among Kazakhstani students in Hungary who started to value their own cultural identity abroad more than they did in Kazakhstan: bit.ly/41bvxn5

Three years after the full-scale Russian invasion, we stand with #Ukraine and attempt to provide both knowledge about the displacement induced by the war and give voice to Ukrainian scholars. Check out our special section devoted to this topic: ceemr.uw.edu.pl/issues/vol-1...

In 2016, Mike Haynes & Aleksandra Galasińska from the University of Wolverhampton, drawing on a qualitative analysis of selected comments from the gazeta.pl website, argued that workplace was key in the transmission of social remittances by Poles in the #UK: bit.ly/3WUEDUh
