Analysing national programmes, state strategies and other documents that regulate immi- gration and migrant integration in Lithuania, this article provides an overview of policy priorities in this field before and after the enlargement of the European Union (EU). The main theoretical approaches of migration processes and policies are reviewed to conceptu- alise the field in which the Lithuanian immigration and migrant integration polices are to be analysed. The article covers different types of immigration, reveals main immigration trends and provides contextual information: policy responses and political discussions, public debates and societal attitudes towards immigration. It touches on the newest legi- slative and institutional developments in the field concerned and reveals that before 2014, immigration policy in Lithuania was based on the so-called ad hoc principle, while during the first half of 2014, a new trend emerged as the government adopted the ‘Lithuanian Migration Policy Guidelines’ and ‘Action Plan for Implementation of the Policy for the Integration of Foreigners’. At the same time, integration of foreigners as a new area of policy emerged in the Ministry of Social Security of Labour. Migrant integration is beco- ming a prioritised policy area. However, its challenging aspect has to be emphasised as deeper analysis of migrant integration infrastructure revealed that project-based activities, supported by the EU funds, have already managed to ‘change’ the implementation of migrant integration policy at state level.

Since Poland joined the European Community, it has been transforming from a country of emigration into an emigration-immigration one. Year by year an increase of immigrants coming to Poland has been observed, which involves the Polish government and local authorities taking actions within the implementation of migration policy. The multifaceted processes of integration take place on the levels of linguistics, culture, education, and social activation aimed at combating social exclusion of this group of Polish inhabitants.

Using the background of current offers in language training for adult foreigners, the aim is to present the results of the research which was conducted in language courses for adult immigrants in both the Czech Republic and Sweden in 2012. This aim of the research was to determine whether there were differences in the situations in which learners in the Czech Republic and Sweden use the target language. The research theory was based on the authors who deal with language education for foreigners: Carlson (2006) Lindberg & Sandwall (2007), Chvojková (2009), Hádková (2010). The sample included 95 respondents from the Czech Republic and 222 respondents from Sweden. As a method of data collection, a non-standardized questionnaire was used. To verify the stated hypothesis the chi-square test of independence and contingency tables were applied. As a result, we could state that there was a statistically significant difference in the situations in which respondents spoke the target language in the Czech Republic and Sweden.

The article examines the integration process of Ukrainians and Vietnamese in the Czech Republic. The authors focus on socio-cultural integration, the pre- and post-migration factors integration depends on, and the differences in the integration process of the two communities. Using survey data they show that the integration process of each group follows a different trajectory and depends on different factors. Ukrainians tend to be more integrated than Vietnamese. The primary factor influencing the level of integration of Ukrainian migrants is the length of residence in the Czech Republic. Household composition and the residential preferences of Ukrainians play a secondary role. On average Vietnamese immigrants have resided longer in the Czech Republic, but the increasing length of residence has a much weaker effect on the level of socio-cultural integration of members of this community. The residential preferences of Vietnamese immigrants and especially the age at which they arrived in the Czech Republic are important factors in their integration. Those Vietnamese immigrants who arrived as children are significantly more integrated than those who arrived as adults. These results suggest that the socio-cultural integration of Vietnamese immigrants depends primarily on socialisation in the Czech Republic.

Zmiany zachodzące obecnie w politykach migracyjnych krajów europejskich, idące w kierunku wzrostu ich restrykcyjności, stawiają badaczy procesów migracyjnych przed koniecznością poszukiwania nowych perspektyw i narzędzi badawczych umożliwiających pełniejszą analizę ego obszaru badawczego. Artykuł ma na celu przybliżenie kategorii konwencji wykorzystywanej między innymi w piśmiennictwie francuskim, a mało znanej w polskiej nauce o polityce społecznej. Służy ona do uchwycenia i podkreślenia roli aktorów społecznych w procesie konsensualnego kształtowania głównych założeń i sposobów realizacji polityk publicznych. W niniejszym artykule kategoria ta została zaprezentowana w odniesieniu do francuskiej polityki integracji imigrantów.

Changes taking place currently with regard to migration policies in European countries aiming at the rise of their restrictiveness, put researchers who are interested in migration processes in the need to look for new perspectives and research tools that would allow a more complete analysis. The article aims to present a little-known in Poland but often used in France theoretical category of convention. The mentioned category enables to capture and to emphasize the role of social actors with regard to process of shaping key assumptions and methods of implementation of different public policies. In the article, the category of convention has been presented with reference to the French immigrant integration policy

This study looks at the issue of migration processes in relation to integration in the early modern urban society and its methodological background in terms of socio-historical and cultural-historic research. In regard to options for further development of local historiographic research, the concept of interculturalism is focused on, as a reflection on the space for cultures to encounter each other and mutually define themselves. Using the example of research of immigration into Prague towns during the pre-White Mountain period, opportunities for applying it are outlined and the source base available is characterised. Its effective use should be linked first of all with prosopographic research.

The study Japanese Dancers in Czech Ballet - Contemporary Artist Migration and Integration in European Space traces the motivation of Japanese professional dancers to migrate to the Czech Republic and examines ways in whichc they integrate into society. The author illustrates her anthropological research on interviews with artists whose opinions confirm the transnational tendencies of modern migration which, however, go beyond the existing theoretical framework and open a new perspective on social integration in the Czech Republic and issues of multicultural identity in Europe.

Studie prezentuje výsledky výzkumu na téma migrace a integrace japonských profesionálních tanečníků do českých regionálních baletních souborů. Pomocí kvalitativních řízených rozhovorů s tanečníky poskytuje vhled do problematiky novodobé pracovní migrace umělců, jejichž kariéra je velmi krátká, a proces integrace je z toho důvodu upozadněn. Seznamuje čtenáře s profesním zázemím ve zdrojové zemi, které vede k emigraci za prací do ekonomicky slabší země, jež ale poskytuje odborníkům status a prestiž, kterého by v Japonsku nedosáhli.
