Syria: Migration processes in the country torn by civil war
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…
Descendants from African countries in Denmark: Territorial and organizational aspects of settlement in the 2010s to early 2020s
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…

“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: The Russian Orthodoxy in Africa in 1920–2020
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 …
Externalisation of Asylum Policy in the UK after Brexit
The article explores the approaches and tools the UK disposes of to address an increasing number of asylum seekers and illegal migrants in a post-Brexit environment. The study is based on legislative and regulatory acts regulating the UK’s asylum policy, as well as international agreements and action plans that enable the externalization of the asylum policy. It is shown that it took the UK a rather short time to put in place a reformed legal fra…
Reform of the Asylum Policy and Control of Illegal Migration: Pan- European and Polish Approaches
This article considers the development of pan-European and Polish asylum policy and control of illegal migration after the peak of the migration crisis in 2015–16. A sharp increase in the migration burden on the European Union (EU) during this period revealed systemic problems of political regulation of migration in the EU and provoked a confrontation of the interests of national and supranational actors. Despite the decline of migration flows fr…
Religion and the State: Types of Relations in the Religious Market
The article presents the attempt of using the marketing paradigm in the analysis of state-confessional relations. Considering such relations through the prism of market structures, the authors identify three main types: religious monopoly, religious oligopoly, and religious monopolistic competition. Religious monopoly implies the dominance of one religion, which enjoys the full support of the state that protects it from competition from other rel…
Refugees from Syria and Iraq in Sweden: Resettlement during the migration crisis
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…
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…
