Starting from 2009 our journal will be published under a new title 'Studia Migracyjne - Przeglad Polonijny (Migration Studies - Review of Polish Diaspora). The new name opens a new chapter in the history of the quarterly which dates back to 1975. Taking into account the increasing complexity and importance of international mobility in Europe and worldwide and responding to the growing interest in migration studies, the journal shifts its interest towards contemporary aspects of migration. The first issue with a 'new face' focuses on theoretical perspectives in migration studies. At the same time, the quarterly will continue to cover the history of Polish migrations and cultural changes of Polish immigrant communities abroad. According to the long tradition of the 'Przeglad Polonijny', these processes will be analyzed in the context of international migrations, globalization, and increasing cultural diversity of the contemporary societies. The editorial board calls for texts which illuminate mechanisms and patterns of migrations nowadays. Both theoretical and empirical studies are welcome. Submitted works do not have to address examples relating to Poland. On the contrary, we are interested in the cross-national comparative perspective. Along with the synchronic approach, we encourage the diachronic one. The journal is supported by the Polish Academy of Sciences, and its Committee for Migration Studies and Polish Diaspora (former Committee for Polonia Studies).
