The paper aims at analyzing the effects induced by processes of migration of Polish medical professionals to the United Kingdom following Poland’s accession to the European Union and their situation in the UK. First, a brief note on the methodology and characteristics of the sample is presented. Second, migration of Polish medical professionals is juxtaposed to existing migration theories. Third, belonging and integration are introduced, to be followed by some striking observations related to Polish medical migrants in the UK. Migrants share their opinions of the receiving society and of their lives in Poland and the UK.

The Czech Republic is in the process of transforming its social system which is not capable of managing adequate care of its old citizens. In the last years we have witnessed an increase in the number of mediating agencies that import mainly Ukranian migrants for the purpose of engaging them in care work focusing on elderly people. The paper presents results of pilot ethnograpic research and focuses on commodification of care work for elderly people and the vulnerable character of domestic care work provided by Ukrainian female migrants in the Czech Republic. I argue that this specific “product” – the Ukrainian female caregiver – is based on the intersections of gender, ethnicity and migration.

The process of adopting the Euroconstitution was accompanied by some problems on the Czech scene. Even today, no one knows whether the "Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe", as the indigestible official name of the European Constitution reads, will be ratified by the parliaments of the individual states, resp. if accepted nationally in a referendum. All the less do we know how the Euroconstitution will "behave" like living law, ie how it will be interpreted, resp. specified by the European Court of Justice and how it will be adopted at national level by the highest judicial bodies and, in particular, by the constitutional courts.

More than once has the concept of sovereignty been declared as passé, obsolete unworkable or even dead, due to societal or technological developments. This article focuses on the extent to which the Internet has challenged, and continues to challenge, the concept of sovereignty. Focusing on sovereignty in the context of control over Internet conduct, it seeks to demonstrate that, while the Internet has challenged sovereignty to a degree, geo-location – the identification of the geographical location of Internet users – is a ‘game-changer’ re-emphasising the significance of geography and implicitly the significance of (territorial) sovereignty.
