The report presents findings on migration trajectories of various categories of migrants in Poland. The research focused on return as a result of a given person’s experience and aspirations.

Article
The full‐scale aggression against Ukraine on 24 February 2022 caused an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. In Poland, most forced migrants settled in urban areas, turning cities into unique proving grounds for humanitarian assistance and testing their resilience capabilities. We explore this phenomenon using the case study of three medium‐sized cit...

This paper investigates the governance of emergencies in Lithuania and Poland from 2020 to 2023, focusing on how multiple crises, namely, the COVID-19 pandemic, the humanitarian crisis on the border with Belarus, and the influx of Ukrainians fleeing a full-scale Russian invasion were handled. In response to these events, both countries introduced mea...

Article
Full-text available
The existing literature points to securitisation as a dominant form of emergency governance emerging in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, also in relation to migration. However, another important way of framing migration during the pandemic is in terms of economisation. This article aims to analyse the rationale underpinning Polish immigration pol...

This research was conducted under the Horizon Europe project ‘GAPS: De-centring the...
Article
Before full‐scale war broke out in 2022, over 1 million Ukrainians resided legally in Poland. Within weeks of Russia's aggression, around 1.5 million new Ukrainian forced migrants had arrived, many of whom remain in Poland. As of September 2023, 970,000 Ukrainian refugees were still in Poland, where they enjoyed temporary protection status. This pa...
Article
Full-text available
The presence of migration in non-urban areas is mainly related to the paradoxical coexistence of both restrictive migration policies and a proliferation of welcoming initiatives. These initiatives are aimed at (co-)creating “welcoming spaces” and are often driven by older residents and migrant people but can equally be the outcome of initiatives by...

In recent years, the issues of integration – related on the one hand to people referred to as foreigners, immigrants, newcomers, etc. – and on the other hand to host societies – have been gaining importance in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries, including Poland. Before the political and socio-economic transformation at the turn of th...

Article
Migrant integration is usually studied in four dimensions: economic, political, social and cultural. The cultural sphere seems to be the most ambiguous, but also the one that induces various interpretations as it touches upon core norms and values held both by migrants and by the receiving society. This paper aims to reconstruct research approaches...

In recent years, the EU has experienced different integration ‘crises’ in its policy domains. Some policy fields such as the environment have been driven by an integration process of consensus among the Member States while others, such as migration and asylum policy, have not reached a high level of integration because of differences between the st...

In this paper we focus on adapting the concept of push – pull factors to forced migration by proposing a “push out – push back” approach that underlines two most crucial elements of forced migrants’ experience. On the one hand, it stresses the reasons for leaving countries of origin or of temporary refuge that are not dependant on the will of peopl...

The aim of this paper is to discuss how the Muslim Other has been invented and still is in contemporary Poland. We argue that it is framed into a different narrative and 'logic' than in the case of many Western European countries.

The history of immigration to and emigration from contemporary Poland as a social phenomenon dates back to 1989. Geopolitical changes in the region brought the ‘opening’ of Poland’s borders, which in turn contributed to the growing scale of mobility both from and to Poland. Moreover, Poland, as a country on the way from the East to the West also be...

This paper queries the EU’s response to the 2015-2016 waves of large-scale migration through the lens of safety and security. By applying this conceptual framework, it is argued that the concepts of safety and security in the EU-level discourse on migration have been largely conflated, thus fuelling a biased debate on migration in which the latter...
