The Evolution of Sweden’s Migration Policy
The European migration crisis has emerged as one of the key challenges for Sweden, a country long known for its liberal stance toward refugees and asylum seekers. The large-scale influx of asylum seekers exposed vulnerabilities in the national reception system, aggravated issues of social integration, and contributed to the growing criminalisation of migrant communities. The study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the transformation of …
Syria
The article is devoted to the migration situation in Syria from 2010 to 2025. It examines in detail the forced external and internal displacement of ethno-religious groups, as well as their return migration. It establishes that, as a result of military action, over half of the Syrian population was forced to flee their homes, moving to other parts of the country or becoming refugees abroad. As a result of emigration, the country’s population decr…
The Social Mission of Religious Organizations in Africa
This paper addresses the challenges of state oversight relating to the non-religious activities of religious actors in Africa, whose growing influence allowed them to transform into an alternative to state institutions. In the analysis of this phenomenon, the authors use religious economy theory (religious market), which evaluates a religious organization’s competitiveness by its capacity to attract followers. A measurable indicator of such compe…
Descendants from African countries in Denmark
Denmark is one of the most attractive European countries for immigrants due to its high level of socio-economic and political development. However, an increase in the migration burden has led to a tightening of the country’s migration legislation, aimed primarily at limiting the flow of migrants from non-Western countries, preventing segregation, and ensuring the successful integration of migrants into the host society. This study aims to analyse…
Migration Crisis in West Africa
The study examines the limits and prospects of political regulation of the migration crisis in West Africa. The authors characterize the migration situation in the countries of the region, analyze the available political instruments of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) that facilitate the migration processes in the region. Furthermore, the efficacy of these instruments in addressing the growing number of refugees and internal…
“Little Mogadishu” in Stockholm, or “Apartheid with a Friendly Face” in Sweden
The article analyzes the causes of spatial segregation of migrants from Africa in Sweden. The problem of segregation is most pervasive in Rinkeby – a district of the Swedish capital, whose population is more than half represented by migrants from Africa, primarily from Somalia. The segregation of Somalis in Rinkeby is caused by a complex of reasons: the inherited difficulties of the country’s housing system, the policy of multiculturalism in Swed…
Provision of Clean Water as a Factor of Epidemiological Transition in Sub-Saharan Africa
The article examines the problem of access of the population of Sub-Saharan Africa to clean water and its impact on keeping high mortality rates in the region from communicable diseases. It is revealed that despite the increase in indicators of access to clean water, the situation for the countries of the region remains extremely difficult, due to the fact that more than 20% of the population still uses only unsafe water sources. The critical sit…
One Hundred Years of Change
Russian Orthodox Church’s presence in Africa has traditionally been limited to the support of African Orthodox churches and the spiritual care of Russians. Russian Orthodox Church never tried to carry out missionary work among the locals. In the 1920s and 1930s Orthodox parishes arose in Africa, but most of the church infrastructure was located in the north of the continent. The first Russian parish in southern Africa was formed after the Second …

The purpose of the study is to identify the approaches to the regulation of international migration in the context of the integration of Albania into the EU. The research is based on the state and supranational sources in the field of migration: legislative…

Refugees from Syria and Iraq in Sweden
The vast increase in the number of forced migrants during the European migration crisis has compelled the receiving countries to concentrate on the issues of migrant reception and accommodation. This study aims to demonstrate how the patterns of settlement of Syrian and Iraqi migrants changed in 2014—2019. We propose a new methodology, building on the Herfindahl-Hirschman index, an indicator of the level and direction of the spatial concentratio…
Spatial Expansion of Islamic Extremism in the Lake Chad Basin
The article discusses the expansion of the Islamic extremist groups (especially Boko Haram) in the Lake Chad basin countries. The geopolitical zones and states of Nigeria, regions of Niger and Cameroon, macro-regions of Chad were selected as the territorial range. The religious affiliation data has been compiled from the DHS-database. Income levels and literacy rates were evaluated indirectly using body mass index and the degree of age-heaping (m…
Somalis in Sweden
The article discusses the process of formation and development of parallel societies in Sweden in the case of the Somali community. The transformation of Sweden into a country of mass immigration, which began in the second half of the 20th century, and its positioning as a “humanitarian superpower” significantly changes the country’s socio-cultural space. The authors conclude that the narrow spatial localization of the extraneous cultural and con…
Impact of external migration on changes in the Swedish religious landscape
For most of its history, Sweden has been a country dominated by the Lutheran Church, having the status of the official state religion. Starting in mid-to-late 20th century, mass immigration to Europe had a considerable impact on the confessional structure of Sweden’s population. The growing number of refugees from the Balkan Peninsula, the Middle East, and Africa has turned Sweden into a multi-religious state. Sweden has become one of the leaders…
