"Nas nitko niš' ni' pital": Medijske reprezentacije slučaja pokušaja uspostave prihvatilišta za tražitelje azila kod Petrinje

Author(s): Helena Popović,Drago Župarić-Iljić,Kruno Kardov / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 2/2022

The paper analyses media representations of migrants with a special focus on the case of an attempt to establish an accommodation centre for asylum seekers in the Croatian village Mala Gorica near Petrinja. After the closure of the Balkan Corridor, the movement of forced migrants through the countries on the Balkan route put the states in the region in a challenging position. The states had to develop migration management systems that would enable the organisation of acceptance and integration of refugees. The choice of location of reception and accommodation facilities for asylum seekers could often be a contentious issue for the local population. The media play an important role in the process of informing citizens since, along with other social actors in positions of power, they influence and shape the public discourse. In this paper, we used a qualitative content analysis of Croatian media articles published from November 2018 to May 2019 (N=52). In order to identify discourses, themes and frameworks that contribute to the understanding of the media representation of the above phenomenon we used the document analysis approach of Altheide and Schneider (2017). In the analysis of the arguments of various actors three themes were detected: the relationship between the victim and the perpetrator, the relationship between the government and the people, and the relationship between the “center” (Zagreb) and the “periphery” (Petrinja). All three, in different variations, point to the problem of inequality, i.e., domination and subordination. We identified two dominant media frames in reporting: discursive construction of migrants as a social problem and conflict as a constitutive relationship between social actors. We discuss these findings and argue that this type of research enables a critical reflection on the role of media in public representations of marginalised social groups such as asylum seekers, which could then enable a more inclusive social environment and humane treatment of marginalised groups.

(Be)Longing: Coping Among Ageing Filipinas In Valencia, Spain

Author(s): Mari-An Santos,Alvarez Catis / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The Philippines is one of the largest migrant-sending countries in the world. Through their remittances, Filipino migrants sustain their families and the Philippine economy. Much literature has examined the phenomenon from perspectives of families left behind, but their emotional narratives are understudied. From narratives of ageing Filipinas (Filipino women) in Valencia, Spain who have lived there for more than 10 years, using the decolonised methodology of Sikolohiyang Pilipino or SP (Philippine Psychology), this research examines what drives their (be)longing. It is part of a larger study conducted from March to April 2019. The research reveals that the Filipino emotional culture of utang na loob drives coping in two ways: through faith in God within the context of the Catholic church and compassion built within Filipino communities over time. These are only some among a multitude of narratives of searching and finding a semblance of home... away from home. Considering what they contribute to the sending and receiving countries, these emotional narratives must be considered to address the psychosocial needs of migrants now and long after recovery from the global pandemic.

(Re)producing Boundaries While Enforcing Borders in Immigration Detention

Author(s): Laura Rezzonico / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2020

Immigration detention centres can be conceptualised as sites of bordering that separate the wanted from the unwanted and reify the boundary between citizens and non-citizens. Using boundary making as an analytical lens that allows getting insights into the work of borders, this paper addresses the relationship between staff and detainees in these ambiguous sites, asking how staff members engage in boundary work to distance themselves from the pains of detainees and to legitimise their work in an institution of exclusion. It considers boundary making based on three kinds of categories – race, ethnicity and culture; (il)legality and (un)deservingness; and unknownness and criminality – that are morally charged. Through the construction of detainees as culturally and morally different, illegal and undeserving, as well as potentially dangerous, prison staff contribute to the reinforcement of borders, legitimating their exclusionary dimension.

1913-1917 Yılları Arasında Bulgaristan'dan Yapılan Göçler ve Emlak-ı Metruke Sorunları

Author(s): Suat Zeyrek,Hasan Hakan Ulutin / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 18/2020

In this article, despite being allied with the Ottoman Empire the policies of Bulgaria of which is force immigration against Turks and Muslims in Western Thrace between 1913-1917 will be discussed. In addition, land problems arising from migration will be discussed. Muslims were forced to migrate between the years 1913-1920, despite the explicit provision that "Turks staying in Bulgaria after the Balkan War will have equal rights with the Bulgarians" written in the Treaty of Istanbul (29 September 1913). The lands abandoned by the Muslims were occupied by the Bulgarians. During the war, some Bulgarians left the Ottoman lands and went to Bulgaria. The lands abandoned by the Muslims who left Bulgaria and the Bulgarians who immigrated to Bulgaria have become a problem between the two countries. A "miscellaneous commission" has been established to solve the problems that arise. It is understood that in this uncompromising policy followed by Bulgaria against the Ottoman Empire, Bulgarians trusted the Germans.

1940 – rapturile teritoriale. Soarta refugiaților din teritoriile anexate

Author(s): Cerasela Moldoveanu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1-2/2020

It has been 80 years since the dramatic year of 1940, when Romania, by the will of the great powers, was forced to cede a third of its territory. The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact (August 1939) and then the abusive decisions taken by Germany, the USSR and Italy through the Vienna Diktat (August 30, 1940) and the Treaty of Craiova (September 7, 1940) threw Romania into the chaos of history. Hundreds of thousands of refugees and evacuees from the areas occupied by the new rulers suffered the most. Some of them remained, at any risk, on their homeland, while others preferred the road abroad, to be with their brothers in a nation and faith. The Romanian authorities, through the competent institutions – the General Commissariats for Refugees – tried to alleviate their situation, in the most efficient way, allocating generous funds for their integration in the Romanian society. Unfortunately, for the Romanians left in the ceded territories, the situation was rather desperate and extremely dangerous, especially in the northeast of Transylvania and in Bessarabia and northern Bukovina. Some of the refugees from Bessarabia returned home in the summer of 1941, when the Romanian army liberated the historical territories annexed by the USSR, and in Transylvania after 1944.

30 lat rosyjskiej polityki imigracyjnej i jej znaczenie z perspektywy Federacji Rosyjskiej i obszaru poradzieckiego

Author(s): Andrzej Szabaciuk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2021

The article aims to analyze the immigration politics of the Russian Federation from the perspective of the last three decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union. We have considered its importance from the point of view of the domestic and foreign policy of the state. Since 2000, with the beginning of Vladimir Putin’s first presidency, we have been observing a significant increase in the importance of the immigration policy of the Russian Federation, which was an important component of the Russian population policy and one of the key instruments to counteract the deepening depopulation of the state. However, the growing popularity of labor migration to the Russian Federation and the low effectiveness of managing migration flows resulted in a massive influx of irregular migrants, which have used some of the Russian political circles to fuel anti-immigration sentiments. Because of this politics, since 2007, we have been observing a gradual departure from the earlier model of immigration policy, open to labor migration from the Commonwealth of Independent States, towards a policy limiting the influx of Muslim migrants from Central Asia. At the same time Russian government have invited Russian-speaking people from the post-Soviet area to settle in Russia. The introduced restrictions allowed the Russian Federation to use the facilitation of access to the Russian labor market as an instrument encouraging the political and economic integration of the post-Soviet states within the structures controlled by the Russian Federation. The increase in the political component of immigration policy did not change the fact that it was thanks to the influx of people from the post-Soviet area that Russia avoided the depopulation that is currently observed in Ukraine. Analyzing the situation of the Russian Federation and its politics towards the post-Soviet region, the realistic paradigm was used as it best reflects the specificity of the region.

93 Harbi’nde Macarların Osmanlı Devleti’ne Desteği

Author(s): Ferdi Çiftçioğlu,Erika Verešová / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 71/2021

The Ottomans and Hungarians share a long history together. Beyond historical kinship ties between the Turks and the Huns, their relationship had reached its peak when the Russians dared to threaten both in 19th century as a result of their desire to expand their territory. Alas, the Hungarian’s lost the War of Freedom to the Russians, and the pioneers of the struggle took refuge in the Ottoman Empire. During the 93 [Day] War, the Ottomans – who had fought against Russia many times in the 19th century – fell into difficult situation on all fronts; the Hungarians came to their rescue. Their support was monumental: they sent both medical and financial aid to the ever-weakening army. They organized demonstrations in various countries to inform the European public about what was going on, and they wrote motivational poetry and songs in order to boost Ottoman soldiers’ morale. Some Hungarians had even offered join the Ottoman military. All of this rapprochement played a major role both sides building a common future together (Turanism).

93 HARBİ’NDEN SONRA LİVANE MUHACİRLERİNİN YAŞADIĞI SIKINTILAR

Author(s): Zemzem Yücetürk / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 14/2022

With the Berlin Treaty signed after the Ottoman-Russian War between the Ottoman Empire and Russia in 1877-78, the Ottoman State left Kars, Ardahan and Batumi to Russia. The Livane District, which is the accident of the Batumi Sandjak, also known as the Sanjak of Lazistan, has thus passed under Russian rule. The people of this region abandoned to Russia did not want to leave the region they were in after the war, as they resisted the occupation during the war. However, since the Ottoman Empire decided to evacuate these regions, they had to migrate. According to the agreement made with Russia, many people settled in other lands of Anatolia in a period of three years. Migrations were made to cities such as Istanbul, Samsun, Çorum, Tokat, Yozgat, Adapazarı, Izmit and especially Bursa. In this study, it was tried to reveal the problems experienced by the people of Livane District during and after the migrations. People who wanted to migrate faced the obstacles of Russian and Armenian officials during real estate sales, and most of them had to sell their properties at low prices. The people who immigrated to the Ottoman State and remained in the Livane District, worried about the law of their properties and asked for help from the state. The Russian State tried to prevent the immigration of the people. When the immigration of the Muslim people was tried to be prevented by the local government, they asked for help from the Ottoman Empire. Most of the people, on the other hand, faced epidemic diseases during their migration as they were unable to pay even for the road and water costs. When they came to Anatolia, the people faced with settlement problems remained in misery. Despite all these negativities, the Ottoman Empire carried out the necessary work for the settlement of the refugees, and rewarded the people who were served in the treatment of those who were infected with epidemic diseases during the migration of the Livane immigrants and the provision of food during the transportation of these people to Anatolia. In this study, the problems experienced by the people of Livane during and after the migrations were tried to be revealed.

A Complex Analysis of Labour Market in the European Union. Benefits and Barriers for Romania

Author(s): Alin Ioan Creţu,Laurentiu Tescan / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2019

The European Union aims, as the main objective, to increase the employment rate of the population and using it to its full potential in order to increase living standards. When control of barriers between EU Member States was lifted, it was necessary to create a european single market (Single European Market) that encouraged the interdependence of the economies of states and the development of a common system of laws. Taking into account the social component, single labor market (European Single Labour Market) is a critical element in achieving the benefits of an integrated market. Moreover, it is one of the key forces for achieving the Europe 2020 goals, particularly in relation to employment rates and initiative Youth on the Move (in order to improve education and employment among young people).

A Gain or a Loss? The Consequences of Brexit in the Opinions of Polish Migrants

Author(s): Stanisław Fel,Marek Wódka,Jarosław Kozak / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2022

The aim of the article is to present the opinions of Polish migrants in Britain on the gains or losses that Brexit may bring to the European Union (EU), the United Kingdom (UK), and Poland, as well as the respondents themselves and their families. These opinions were determined based on the analysis of the results of a survey carried out among these migrants and presented against the backdrop of the results of public opinion polls on EU membership, which have been conducted in the British Isles regularly since the 1970s. The article analyses the beliefs held on this issue by economic migrants, who are faced with a choice as Brexit is underway: to remain expatriates or to return to their country of origin. Among the answers to questions about the possible benefits or negative outcomes of Brexit, it was the latter that predominated. In the discussion, the authors seek to ascertain why migrants from Poland fear the negative consequences of Brexit for the UK and for Europe more often than they fear those for Poland or for themselves and their close family members.

A Historical and Contemporary Analysis of The British Immigration Policies and Their Implications for Settlement and Integration: The Case Of Turkish Immigrants in The United Kingdom

Author(s): Serkan Baykuşoğlu / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

It is generally argued that not all members of the society are being treated equally in the UK because some people face various barriers in accessing vital public services and lack opportunities. Although there are many people having such disadvantages, some migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers are being left further behind because they face certain barriers, and they do not benefit from equal opportunities in the society. This study has focused on the experience of Turkish Immigrants, who are a diverse group whose members have experienced a range of problems and inequalities due to their immigration status and complex and tough immigration policies, over the last five decades. However, not much is known about Turkish immigrants and their immigration patterns1, and thus equally little is known about their integration into the British society and their contribution to social, economic and political life.

A Left-Behind Child From El Alto Protection Strategies and Redefinition of Kinship Ties for The Children of Migrant Women in Bolivia

Author(s): Robin Cavagnoud / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Daniel is a 16-year-old teenager living in El Alto, Bolivia. He has no siblings and never met his father. For the past 10 years, his mother has lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she moved to work in a sewing factory. After her departure, Daniel moved to his grandmother’s home, where his aunt, uncle and cousins also live. Following the death of his grandmother, Daniel’s maternal aunt became his guardian, responsible for caring for him and raising him. Daniel is a left-behind child. Like many other children in Bolivia, he did not travel with his parents, in this case his mother, when she decided to emigrate. She preferred to entrust this care to his grandmother, then his aunt, two female members of her own family. Most of the leftbehind children in Bolivia are the children of migrant mothers who have moved mainly to Argentina and Spain, and these parents have often experienced marital breakdown. Their unique individual situation raises questions that are at the intersection of blended families, protection strategies, redefinition of kinship ties, and the journey to autonomy in adolescence.

A New European Policy on Legal Migration - Enhancing Legal Pathways to Europe

Author(s): Eleodor Pîrvu / Language(s): English Issue: 02/2019

Establishing safe and legal pathways of admission to complement resettlement programmes is therefore an essential step towards securing a meaningful response to the current unprecedented global displacement situation. The need to provide increased and complementary pathways for refugee admission is reflected in the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants, which was adopted by all 193 Member States of the United Nations at the UN General Assembly in September 2016. Countries, including the Member States of the European Union, expressed their intention to “expand the number and range of legal pathways available for refugees to be admitted to or resettled in third countries.” The article will present the implications of the EU-Commission’s proposal for seeking protection in the EU and will research about resettlement as a protective tool and durable solution for refugees. Answers to the actual position of the EU governments towards new policy proposal and what is the future for admission programmes to EU will be analyzed.

A PSYCHOSOCIAL PROFILE OF THE IMMIGRANT: A CASE STUDY

Author(s): Ahmet Dastan / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2020

The migratory flux from the Midele East to the European Union has been on the rise in the past decades due to the almost continuous conflicts in the Arabic Peninsula and to the economic differences between the two regions. Many people were displaced by war and have decided to migrate to the European Union because of the good perspectives the EU Member States have offered for them and for their families. Although there are many general characteristics of the migratory flux from the Middle East to the European Union, every migration wave has its own traits, its own motives and its own dimensions. Starting from these premises, the specific traits, motives and dimensions of the migratory wave of members of the Hizmet Movement in the past three years will be studied in this article. This movement has emerged in Turkey half a century ago and has become today an important social construct in this country, a network formed of educated people who are involved in developing projects aimed at helping the community. Many of the volunteers who are part of the Hizmet Movement have decided to leave the country after the political events that took place in Turkey and 2016. This situation has led to a large wave of migrants from Turkey to the EU Member States in the past three years and to a migratory flux with its own traits, motives and dimensions. Starting from these premises, we will show how Hizmet is an example of a politically motivated, forced immigration, with consequences on employment, family, identity, standard of living, all analyzed from the perspective of the right to emigration according to the UN Global Compact for Emigration developed in 2016. In this article, we will seek to identify these specific characteristics of the recent migratory wave from Turkey to the European Union, the results of the study showing that this wave has many of the characteristics of the larger migratory flux that connects the Middle East and the European territory and that the characteristics of this migration spurt are predicted by the most important academic theories of migration.

A qualitative study of UNHCR’s employment and professional development programmes for refugees

Author(s): Péter Karácsony,Sara Shaltout / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

The purpose of this study was to review literature on career management for refugees and identify the challenges refugees face in terms of crafting a successful career. The paper further examined career management and professional development programmes UNHCR offers to refugees to make recommendations to improve them in alignment with organizational and refugees’ needs. Semi-structured interviews were used in the qualitative research, the study population consisted of 18 individuals. Key findings suggest that UNHCR’s employment and education programmes are in high demand among the refugee community and they contribute to personal development and capacity building. However, by improving them and providing additional opportunities, the organization could make even better use of refugees’ skills and develop them to ensure their career growth. Moreover, the UN Refugee agency should serve as a good example for companies and organizations in employing and training forcibly displaced people.
