Highly Skilled Migration from Post-Soviet Countries to Czechia: Experiences of Discrimination and Exclusion
Highly skilled migrants are often regarded as a privileged category of migrants, with many countries competing to attract them to boost their economies by leveraging their expertise and experience. The integration processes of highly skilled migrants have been widely studied in Western Europe, including research on how Eastern Europeans are incorporated into societies. However, this remains an understudied topic in Central Europe (Czechia, Poland…
The East and the West: Regional Deservingness and Migration Aspirations of Displaced Ukrainians Living in Poland and the Czech Republic
Scholars of deservingness emphasize the attitudes of host societies toward migrant communities and inter-ethnic stances of migrant groups but not in-group perceptions of deservingness. Based on interviews with Ukrainian citizens who received temporary protection in the Czech Republic and Poland after the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, we show that participants classified the fleeing of their fellow citizens from Western Ukraine a…

This article discusses pre-migration resources mobilisation in the framework of aspirations and capabilities. Drawing on qualitative semi-structured interviews with 27 irregular transit migrants in the Eastern Mediterranean and Western Balkan route, it attempts to shed light on various resources that migrants need for their journeys. Among them are tangible and intangible resources and social capital. All of them are important but can, to an exte…
So we all cried together: On the impact of exile on children from Croatia
This study examines the issue of child refugees who fled the former Yugoslavia and spent a brief period of time in Czechoslovakia during the beginning of the 1990s. The adults who were formerly child refugees talk about their experiences in exile and how it affected their subsequent life trajectories. In 2023 and 2024, we conducted qualitative semi-structured interviews with 19 Czech minority former child refugees to gain their viewpoint on the s…
“Fear for children”, Mother-Child Dyad and Future Mobility Trajectories of Displaced Ukrainians in Czechia and Poland: Children as a Factor for Fleeing and Living after the Full-Scale Invasion
This article addresses the issue of children’s care-receiving practices in the context of Ukrainian displacement in Czechia and Poland. Single mothers often need to care for their children alone, creating specific family power dynamics, especially in the setting of transnational reconfiguration, as fathers remain in Ukraine. This article aims to adopt the subjective bottom-up perception of connections associated with navigation in the new environ…
Temporary Protection for Ukrainian Refugees in the Czech Republic and Poland
One of the most immediate effects of the Russian war against Ukraine was the unprecedented influx of Ukrainian refugees in some countries. This article analyzes temporary protection for Ukrainian refugees in two countries—the Czech Republic and Poland, which represent the countries most exposed to immigration from Ukraine. The authors compare the political and legal response of both countries to the institute of temporary protection to reveal sim…

Transnationalism and the permanence of return in Armenian return migration
Transnationalism and diaspora are concepts that are often intertwined but nonetheless differ. This article examines the link between transnationalism and integration processes among return migrants from the Armenian diaspora and examines the role social networks play in integration in Armenia. Returnees to Armenia can be divided into those who have returned from the Armenian diaspora (second and subsequent generations of migrants) and those who e…
Covid-19 and return migration to the Czech Republic
The area of return migration is attracting considerable interest, not least because of the surge in returns due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The characteristics of recent returnees and their motivations have yet to be established. This paper examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on return migration to the Czech Republic and offers one of the first investigations into the realities of return in this particular case. The present study is expect…
One step ahead? The use of foresight by Czech and Slovak non-governmental organizations
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are generally recognized as important actors in societies, fulfilling diverse sets of roles. Given the nature of their work and the complexity of the fast-changing contexts in which they operate, foresight techniques can potentially be useful in helping them prepare for future disruptions and maximize the positive influence of their work over future developments. The possibilities for and benefits of the appl…
