The majority of marriages that took place in the parish of Dobrovice were, endogamous. The proportion of marriages in which at least one of the marrying partners was not a member of the parish of Dobrovice considerably increased within the area of the entire parish. The increased mobility of marrying partners in the village was brought about by their absolution from labour obligations after 1848. The radius in kilometres from which marrying partners came was not of course very large, and the majority of marriages took place within 15 km of the area under observation. The results gathered indicate that mobility preceded marriage and may have been related to work mobility. At the end of the 18th century marrying partners from the middle strata predominated, over the course of the first half of the 19th century the frequency of marriages among the lower strata increased, especially among the landless. Throughout the period, however, the overall character of social homogamy within the area of the parish did not change.

The article takes up the issue of contemporary Mexican migration to the United States of America. Some crucial information is supplied concerning the scale and dynamism as well as the historical and social context of this phenomenon. It also outlines the key problems connected with the application of adequate theoretical models that would facilitate the analysis of migration as such and other related processes like integration with the American society. The text is an introduction to the broad multi-aspect issue of the presence of Mexican immigrants in the USA, also in the context of other people of Latin American origin. .

The article describes the concept of migration, its types, scale and directions. It also gives an account of the discussions on the size of the migration of Poles, its results in demographic, economic and social terms in the scale of the whole country, as well as ways of monitoring it. This is followed by a presentation of the results of studies on the phenomenon of migration in Wielkopolska (Great Poland) conducted by the Regional Work Office, concerning the size of migration after Poland's accession to the EU and in 2007. The study also sheds light on the motivation and expectations of migrants. From the analyses it can be inferred that in the nearest future migration will remain on the current level, but after 5-6 years it should diminish depending on the state of the country's economy. The last part of the article presents the main conclusions of the study and recommended measures so as to reduce and rationalize migration and its consequences. .

A study of four localities in Horni Police in 1710-1725 confirmed that people most often migrated at the age of 20-35 years. People of that age left home most often for the purpose of marriage. Typical for people over 35 years of age was the tendency to remain in one place, and typical for people over 50 years of age was their elimination from the records of the serf rolls, almost exclusively as a result of their death. Children up to the age of 15 tended to move with their parents.

This article focuses on a comparison of attitudes towards migration in twenty European countries. It analyses data from the European Social Survey 2002. The first part of the article contains a summary of the available sources of data on migration and a brief outline of developments and the current state of migration in Europe. The second part looks at the question of whether attitudes towards immigrants are related to the numbers and structure of immigrants in a country and their economic situation. Three thematic areas are examined: 1) the host population's willingness to accept immigrants; 2) perceptions of the impact of immigration on the host country; 3) attitudes towards different forms of integration of immigrants. The findings indicate that Europeans are more willing to accept migrants that are of the same race (ethnic group) and from Europe than they are migrants of a different race (ethnic group) and from states outside Europe. The strongest unwillingness to accept people from other states and the strongest emphasis on the negative impact of immigration was observed in Greece and Hungary, while the strongest willingness to accept immigrants was found in Sweden and Switzerland and was connected with a more positive perception of the impact of immigration.

Based on case studies conducted in the greater Glasgow area, the paper focuses on the experiences of Polish Entrepreneurs in a migration context. Very little is known about Polish immigrant businesses that have been set up in Western Europe in this latest EU post-enlargement era. The aim of this paper is to examine the key factors leading to emigration, business start-ups and settlement by Polish Entrepreneurs in Scotland; including the relationship with the Polish Community. The paper proposes a new understanding of Ethnic Minority Entrepreneurship and innovative behaviour. This research highlights the importance of incremental strategies for emigration, business start-up and settlement amongst Polish Entrepreneurs in Scotland. Prior to venturing into a business start-up, most of the Polish new-born Entrepreneurs interviewed had secured a job in the UK using employment agencies from Poland. However, this employment had failed to meet their standard of living expectations. In addition, the Polish Entrepreneurs studied, unlike other Ethnic Minority Entrepreneurs, rely solely on their own savings rather than benefiting from financial resources and advice from the Polish community. The Polish community is seen as a market and Polish Entrepreneurs are able to spot opportunities within the enclave-markets. Finally, the role of the household in the decision to become self-employed will be highlighted to better understand longer-term settlement amongst Polish Entrepreneurs.

Babica is one of the Subcarpathian villages from which, at the turn of the century, the first streams of migration to the United States began to flow. Emigration from this village rapidly became a common phenomenon. Krystyna Duda-Dziewierz, sociologist, decided to study the process. The research was conducted during the interwar period, and the results published in 1938 in a book entitled „The Malopolska village and the emigration to the U.S. A study of Babica village in Rzeszow Poviat1”. The study is one of the best papers describing the emigration of Polish rural people. Today, travel to the U.S. is still very popular and occupies an import ant place in the life of this community. A century of emigration in an almost unchanged direction owes its continuity to the dense social networks and migration chains which have developer since the first emigrants. The article compares the migration of contemporary Babica inhabitants to emigration from the beginning of the previous century

Juba, the capital of autonomous South Sudan, is becoming a regional metropolis. After the civil war ended in 2005, there was a flood of migration into the city. Juba is already a city of various cultures, as well as numerous conflicts in which ethnic groups are often involved, but is now involved in a kind of experimental urban ground for interrelationships between different ethnicities in post-war South Sudan. This article presents the complex processes of transformations of identity in this part of Africa as seen from the perspective of the municipal, religious and trade centres. Moreover, the author attempts to analyze in detail what happens to ethnicity when this transition took place in Juba. The presented material comes from the author's field work done in South Sudan in 2007 and 2008.

This paper explores the transnational family life of Polish migrants in Norway, through the analysis of the nature and extent of transnational practices and transnational identifications. We draw on debates in migration studies on the limits of transnationalism and on transnational parenting, both arguing for greater attention to the actual extent and nature of transnational ties, as a way of securing the analytical value of the term ‘transnational’. The paper builds on interviews and focus groups with 45 research participants in Bergen and Oslo (post-accession migrants, but also earlier migrants, and descendants). It conceptualizes transnational family life as: 1) transnational parenting and care responsibilities; 2) return visits and communication; and 3) changing relationship dynamics. We argue that the extent of ‘transnational’ family life among Polish migrants in Norway in general should not be exaggerated. However, the analysis of migrants’ transnational practices and transnational identifications demonstrates first, a distinction between split households and migrant households, and second of all, how these transnational identifications and practices are, in many cases, mutually constitutive dimensions. We conclude that transnational identifications, and sporadic transnational practices, may appear as weak forms of transnational family life, but that these can also be understood as enduring forms of migrant transnationalism.

TRAVELLING HOME: PERSONAL MOBILITY AND “NEW” POLISH MIGRANTS IN ENGLAND

This article is concerned with issues of travelling home in narratives of migration, drawing particular attention to the journey itself, which I examine as an increasingly important aspect of overall personal mobility. Freedom of circulation within the European Union made the borders inside the EU space less important to those who have the right of free movement. More recently, the expansion of the EU in 2004 and the availability of cheaper, more frequent and more accessible air travel connections, has allowed for new forms of mobility, based on more frequent return visits for Eastern Europeans, who have gone to work and live in Britain. In recent years, the “visiting friends and family” (VFR) mobility type has been the fastest growing segment of inbound air traffic in the UK, accounting for almost half of all trips within European Union (CAA Passenger Survey 2006). Drawing on the narratives and interview data with “new” Polish migrants in England, this paper argues that the social content of migrant mobility and visits home is of increasing importance. Many Polish migrants in England are now dependent on this form of mobility not only for sustaining social ties, but also in case of negotiation of their social status and displaying the achievements of migration. I argue, amongst other things, that the visit home is also a fundamental part of new mobility patterns and a crucial stage in the negotiation of migration itself. I am suggesting that the ways in which the journey home and the distance between England and Poland are encountered by Polish migrants, are critical to their understandings of migration. Because of the figurative proximity between Poland and England and “when desired” nature of their movement, Polish migrants are placed in a position of privilege and control regarding their mobility.

The article addresses the problem of scientific theory development treated as a specific form of discourse. This may be exemplified with two selected theoretical trends related to research migration - called in the text discourse of motive and discourse of adaptation - the authoress ties to show the logic of that form of discourse development. Important determinants shaping migration discourses are: - The historical moment of their formation together with the entire baggage of ontic assumptions and the empirical image of migration processes of that period; - Strong influence of doxa, from the very outset; - Regularity consisting of a gradual 'softening up' of initially elegant and unambiguous theory by adding new elements or detailing existing ones, as well as transferring the entire argument to another level of analysis; - The principles of any action in the scientific field force us to refer to already found heritage and to operate with legitimated language of existing theoretical concepts; - The narrowing by discourse of the field of possible conceivable intellectual alternatives in the scientific activity: you may accept an existing theory or critically refer to it but it is always the starting point (of course within a set paradigm, or - as in this case - one discourse trend); tertium non datur.

International migration has come into focus among security policy issues lately. The growing number of people fleeing to other countries and continents is by itself a conflict generating factor. Moreover, when we consider how much security risk is involved with the illegal migrants, it is easy to see that the issue is inevitable from both a non-military and a military security perspective. The study looks at the investigation and classification of the security aspects of international migration with a help of an analysis carried out by well-known foreign and Hungarian authors.

The paper describes migration from Poland, its impact on the country labour supply and on the social security system in the sending country. It shows both advantages and disadvantages of migration. On one hand, there are remittances as a source of income for households and possibility to work abroad when unemployment in the source country is high. On the other hand, in the long run migration can possibly accelerate unfavourable ageing of workforce. Additionally, the authoress draws attention to still very low labour force participation rate of people over 55 in Poland (in comparison to other EU countries).

In this paper we estimate the determinants of inter-regional migration of Czech population in the years 1992-2001. Despite the increasing disparities among the regions, we find that the migration rate remains at the relatively low levels and economic variables such as unemployment or wages matter only to a certain extent. The results indicate that the liquidity constraints play a role and therefore, the migration rates are higher only among the richer regions.

The existence of considerable gaps in knowledge on employment and international migration, as well as the effects and determinants of the phenomena, became the primary reason for conducting the research on international migration in the Opolskie voivodeship. Apart from the important information about the state of employment, the key issue seemed to be changes in migration that was observed during the recent period in the Opolskie voievodeship. The changes which have occurred due to the macroeconomic situation, such as the economic crisis in Europe and changes in the labor market, determine the profitability of a job abroad. The article presents the results of the research that indicated some positive trends in employment in the country and abroad in the period 2008-2010. Firstly, it shows a significant drop on the scale of emigration in the past two years and a contemporary increase in employment in the country of the Opolskie voivodeships' inhabitants. On the other hand, the research shows a decrease in the number of people who are economically inactive. Changes in employment were not similar in the various population groups - the most pronounced differences in the change in employment abroad have been associated with the groups of citizenship.

‘Mobility’ is a zeitgeist of the European Union. European enlargement and the removal of borders in Central and Eastern Europe has reinvigorated geographical mobility in Europe while the extension of neo-liberal economic reform across the region has been said to offer opportunities for social mobility to a new demography. The right to spatial and social mobility in the EU is described as enhancing freedom, opportunity and choice for large numbers of people living in Central and Eastern Europe, yet the reality for many people living and working across borders in the EU is marked still by poverty, uncertainty and immobility. How do we conceptualise this inequality within a discourse of ‘free movement’ and ‘equality of opportunity’ in Europe? In this paper I will discuss theories of mobility that have shaped the discourse on mobility and immobility in the EU in recent times. I will explore the ways in which this discourse has contributed to an almost immutable acceptance of the EU as a ‘mobile space’. Adding to this I will present some early empirical findings from case studies in the Edinburgh, Scotland and Krakow, Poland to show that the everyday experiences of young Polish people who negotiate the invisible borders of the EU to find ‘opportunities’ has many dimensions, raising further questions about how ‘mobility’ is perceived and enacted by young Polish people living and working in the UK.

The autors' aims were to reveal the correlation between employment data and the level of education, as well as with the economic nature in the sub-regions of Hungary. They examined the phenomenon of commuting to work, and its relationship with the educational level. The social and economic conditions widely vary in the sub-regions, counties and regions, and the composition of the employed and unemployed also differ: even those with the same qualification have different chances to find a job in the various regions. Employment and thus, unemployment is impacted by geographical location and economic potentials rather than the education level. An exception to this rule is the situation of those holding a university and college degree, whose employment level is high even in the disadvantaged sub-regions. The number of commuters has considerably increased in the past 15 years. In the suburbia of Budapest there is a clear correlation between the rate of commuters and the slowing rate of migration from the capital. The rate of those commuting to work from disadvantaged sub-regions is much lower than elsewhere. The highest rate of commuting is measured among the population with elementary school education. Typically, commuting remains within the boundaries of the countries.
