The following paper shows the depiction of the refugee experience in Phera (‘Return’)—a novel written by a Bangladeshi writer, Taslima Nasrin—by using the literary analysis method. Thus, the relevant passages were translated into Polish, commented on and supported when necessary with further historical or cultural infor-mation. The plot of the novel is based on the background of major historical events, such as the Partition of India (1947) and the Bangladesh Liberation War (1971). The experience of being a refugee is shown from two perspectives: the struggle to settle in the place of arrival and the painful confrontation with one’s own memories about the true homeland. This proves that a refugee is a person who never can adopt to a foreign country completely but, more significantly, who can never return to the native land because the place once left behind does not really exist.

Refugees constitute one of the most serious international problems that the world faces today. The problem of guarantee of access to a language that is understood by the applicant in the procedure for granting refugee status, presented in this paper, is strongly associated with this matter. Due to the fact that this is an issue which affects a considerable number of states, both interna- tional and domestic regulations concerning the granting of refugee status were selected for examination in the present paper. The provisions of the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, as well as of the Act of 13 June 2003 on granting protection to foreigners within the territory of the Republic of Poland were considered. The paper focuses on an analysis of the guarantee to make provision for communication in an understandable language, which does not create a barrier for the person applying for refugee status while communicating with administrative agencies that are decisive in granting the aforementioned status.

The Italian Juvenile Law guarantees protection to unaccompanied foreign minors, which is a child coming from non-EU countries without parents. This phenomenon, in recent years, concerns the migratory flows of refugees, who arrive from Turkey or Libya to the coasts of Italy; the journey is often dramatic and sometimes it requires to pass through other European countries. The EU Regulation - Dublin III, which entered into force on 1 January 2014, points at the competence of the EU State in which the minors arrived at first; further transfers, except the need to be reunited with family members in other EU States, are not significant for the European law. The current system of granting refugee or other forms of international protection is based on this fundamental principle. The protection of unaccompanied foreign minors in Italy is achieved through a form of "multidisciplinary" support; the legal data is only one component. In addition, there are social and educational projects as well as protection for health; the need of an effective integration is perceived. Together with the social intervention, a legal public representative, the Guardian, is appointed for unaccompanied minor. The competence belongs to the Municipality in which the minor is found or where, following a first reception, will be transferred on the basis of a regional territorial assignment, within the national system of Italian reception for refugee minors, called "SIPROIMI". The legal Guardian’s role is to guarantee children’s rights and an adequate assistance. It’s a very thorny topic in the Metropolitan Area of Bologna, which has more than a million inhabitants; all the local offices created a "Public Metropolitan Protection Office" with the aims to manage these aspects. Promoting the function of these public offices confers the role of a “third party” in the protection of the children with the assistance of social and health services.

Autorka, odwołując się do dokonań Fabrizia Gattiego, włoskiego reportera wcieleniowego, zwraca uwagę na zależność między aktem wypowiadania a odwagą i wspólnotowością. Czy zasadne jest stwierdzenie, że częstokroć „nie potrafi się czegoś powiedzieć”, gdyż nie podejmuje się ryzyka i – co więcej – stara się za wszelką cenę wypowiedzieć „to” w pojedynkę? Odwaga dialogiczności, do jakiej ucieka się Gatti, jakkolwiek daleka od doskonałości, skutkuje reportażem, w którym Inny, zamiast być prototypowym egzemplarzem odmienności, jest bliźnim. Reporter cielesnością swego działania zakreśla granice wspólnoty i zaprasza do weryfikacji własnego kulturowego zaplecza.

While referring to the accomplishments of Fabrizio Gatti, the Italian assumed identity journalist, the author of this article draws attention to dependence between the act of making a statement, courage and communality. It is justified to declare that often “one finds it impossible to say something” because one does not take a risk and, more, at all cost tries to say “that” by oneself? The far from perfect courage of dialogicality, to which Gatti resorts, produces reportages in which the Other, instead of being a prototype example of dissimilarity, is our neighbour. By means of the corporeality of his activity the reporter delineates the boundaries of the community and invites to verify our cultural base.

The reception of refugees on Polish territory remains a subject of tensions between Poland and the European Union, following the question of migrant relocation on European soil, which emerged in 2015. However, beyond the various political, economic or even cultural questions that may have been raised, we can wonder about the exact meaning of the Polish lexeme uchodźca (“a refugee”), which is at the heart of the debates. The study of the semantic features that the Poles themselves associate with this word is decisive for better understanding this nation in its positions towards the “refugee question”. These semantic features, deriving from the representations of the speaking subjects rather than the dictionaries or the international law is called in cognitive ethnolinguistics cognitive definition. Therefore, the numerous features of such “refugee” definition may be not only related to politics and economics but they can have also a strong sociocultural, geographical, biological, psychical and even religious dimension. These features will allow us to present three portraits: the portraits of the threatening-refugee, of the threatened-refugee and a portrait of another kind: the benevolent-refugee.

Artykuł przybliża istotę i znaczenie edukacji międzykulturowej w procesie integrowania dzieci uchodźców. Współczesny człowiek jest świadkiem zachodzących i nieuniknionych  zmian typu: globalizacja, migracja, uchodźstwo, które implikują wzrastającą liczbę wieloetniczności państw i z tym związane problemy wielokulturowości. Aby zapobiec konfliktom wynikającym ze struktury heterogenicznych społeczeństw, należy upowszechniać wiedzę i edukować społeczeństwo w kierunku postaw otwartości wobec odmienności kulturowych. Istotne zadanie w wymienionym procesie ma do wykonania Polska szkoła, nie tylko w obszarze edukacji, ale i wychowania. Autorka artykułu podaje przykład realizacji edukacji międzykulturowej w praktyce na przykładzie małej szkoły podstawowej, w której uczą się dzieci uchodźców z Czeczenii. Szczególnie mocno został podkreślony sposób integrowania ,,krok po kroku”, który utrwala więzi i buduje pozytywne relacje.

This article sheds light on the relevance of intercultural education for the integration of refugee children. Modern man has witnessed immense changes with the rise of globalization, migration, refugee emigration, all of which implicate the growth of national multi-ethnicity and associated issues of multi-cultural society. In order to avoid the conflicts resulting from societies' heterogeneous structure, each society requires an infusion of knowledge and education directed toward attitudes of openness to cultural differences. An important part of this process belongs to the Polish school system, not only in educating, but also upbringing. The author of this publication provides an example of intercultural education in practice, built on the experience of a small elementary school with Chechen refugee children. Highlighted in this example is the integration practice “step after step,” aimed at strengthening ties and building positive relationships.

This paper explores Australia’s history and background of migration and refugee policies and examines the possibilities of applying the Australian solutions in the European Union. It has often been assumed that the history of Australia’s migration and refugee policies and the solutions it has applied are not relevant for the European Union (although they are suffi cient, albeit controversial, in the case of Australia). In order to verify this assumption, fi rst the origin and the current rules of Australia’s migration policy are presented and described, and then the determinants of immigration to Australia are indicated. Next, the overall state of relations between the EU, its Member States, and Australian immigration matters is explored. The main research questions posed in this text concern the key points of Australia’s immigration policies and its determinants, as well as the current state of the EU’s and its Member States’ relationship with Australia with respect to the refugee crisis and immigration. The paper ends by offering conclusions with respect to the above.

“The conception of human rights,” writes Hannah Arendt in The Origins of Totalita­rianism, “founded on the presumed existence of a human being as such, has always collapsed when those who declared those rights first met with people who had really lost all their qualities and specific relations – excepting that they were still people.” Giorgio Agamben, appealing to this insight, shows us how supposedly sacred and inalienable human rights are, in reality, always dependent on the rights of citizens of some or other state. A person who has lost all qualities except their humanity thus becomes bare life rather than a being bearing rights. Today it is more and more the refugee who becomes this bare life, excluded from the state system – the one who at least for a time appears as a person bereft of the mask of citizenship, which otherwise always provides a cover for one’s face. The refugee, by severing the bond between person and citizen, is a limit concept, which on the one hand presents a disturbing element in the organisation of the national state, while on the other hand also enables the renewal of political categories.

In the paper the author attempts to describe the issue of refugees as a very important problem in international law, a problem which generates profits e.g. a rise in human capital, as well as losses e.g. costs, for the countries involved. The balance depends on the policy of a given country, whether this country is able to capitalize on the human capital or whether it is only counting costs. Sometimes obligations resulting from international law are not sufficient to convince societies that accepting refugees is the right decision. The paper will focus on how, with appropriate legislative tools, the united world can help people who are in danger. The author will also pose a question whether enough is being done, or whether the scope and methods currently in use should be amended. The paper discusses the issue of refugees from the perspective of various organizations involved i.e. global institutions like UNHCR, European Union institutions, non-government organizations (NGOs) and contains a review of relevant legal acts such as the Treaty of Lisbon, the Geneva Convention etc. The author also touches upon the prac

The recent arrivals of refugees from the Middle East fleeing war and persecution, and forced migrants escaping poverty, mostly from Asia and Africa, have fundamentally challenged European states’ commitment to solidarity with these vulnerable populations seeking protection. Researchers have identified a range of social and individual factors that may facilitate or impede societies’ willingness to receive refugees and migrants. However, less attention has been devoted to how their reception may be linked with diminished provision of public services for citizens and declining welfare states in many countries in Europe. This article considers how the ascendance of the neoliberal ideology and its’ key shifts in public policy contributed to a growing sense of insecurity and precarity in industrialized countries over recent decades and has affected people’s willingness to assist and accept them. It brings together insights from a variety of disciplines to better understand social policy developments and its relation to refugee and forced migration. It concludes that a feminist psychosocial conception of relationality provides a basis for rethinking our approaches to these important issues by politicizing the ethical obligation to protect the lives of unknown others.

The transformations in Russian satirical literature conditioned by the difficult emigration situation were reflected in the works of Arkady Averchenko, one of the most significant satirists of pre-revolutionary Russia. In his short stories created in exile, the writer showed the problems and dilemmas that his fellow-countrymen had to face abroad, mainly in Constantinople and Prague. The feeling of homelessness, loneliness and uprooting that accompanied the emigrants constantly intensified the need for self-identification in a foreign culture, which was demonstrated in manifesting their national distinctiveness, confronting new customs and idealizing the Russian past. By immortalizing the mood, spiritual life and living conditions as well as a specific metamorphosis of Russian emigrants, Averchenko did not forget about their vices. Therefore, the short stories of the emigration period, in which the writer willingly combined elements of comedy and tragedy, were saturated with self-irony, pain and bitter reflection, skillfully hidden under the mask of humour and satire.

The essay is an attempt to consider the relation between center and margins. The author refers to the strategy of re-treating proposed by Tadeusz Sławek and to the gesture of closing eyes. Raised by Wolfgang Welsch concept of a "culture of the blind spot" is also very important - it shows how processes of centralization and marginalization works. The author refers to the ideas of Marquis de Sade, Giorgio Agamben, Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari, and Karen Barad in order to analyse two characters who become conceptual personas - the homeless and the refugee. According to them, it becomes clear, that the relation between center and margins is an apparatus. The author points out, that such a relation doesn't really exist, and suggests that we rather should reconsider the world in categories of community and intra-actions.

Departing from the analysis of the relationship between the birth of the subject of race and the development of capitalism (Mbembe), Sajewska examines the status of blackness in semi-peripheral countries, such as Poland, whose participation in the history of colonial expansion is negligible, as is its influence on the shape and prosperity of capitalism. In her text she proposes to look at peripheral cultural practices as ways of producing and problematizing knowledge. She focuses her attention on Artur Żmijewski's film Glimpse, which was first presented at documenta 14 in Athens in 2017, as a result of the artist's month-long trip with his camera to areas affected by repressive refugee policy. In her historical-cultural analysis of the film, Sajewska shows the position of the artist as a subject representing "peripheral modernity" (Pratt), who on the margins of the European center - in refugee camps - once again performs the racist scenes that underpin the idea of the center’s modernity. Reflecting on the provincial status of the discourses, on the ways in which they are “travelling” in culture, on the localness of the archive and on the regional character of the concepts, she opens up perspectives on peripheral history and culture theory.

This article aims to address the issue of alleged hybrid warfare attacks on Lithuania, Latvia, and Poland. The scope of the article covers the Belarus operations conducted in 2021. Firstly, the author addresses the issue of pushing migrants from a descriptive perspective. Secondly, he debates whether Belarus operation was conducted within the scope of hybrid warfare, hybrid threat, and lawfare? The author concludes that the Republic of Belarus has operated lawfare falling within the hybrid threat spectrum. It means that the situation is not to be classified under the law of armed conflict from the perspective of international and non-international armed conflicts and ius ad bellum violation. Thirdly, the author claims that Belarus has violated international law, so certain legal redress is appropriate and justified. Belarus's actions may result in a court proceeding before the International Court of Justice and before other international institutions.

The subject of this thesis was international migration in relation to internal state security. The author, after reading the literature of the subject, noticed that international migration is a very important element of the modern order in the world and they determine both domestic and foreign policies of many countries. The serious problem, which is being faced by modern Europe is the uncontrolled influx of immigrants, which is posing a significant threat to the security of host countries. The number of migrants in Poland, especially those from Muslim countries, is negligible, but due to the demographic problems our country has been struggling for almost three decades, it may be that encouraging migrants to come to Poland might be prerequisite, to counteract the negative effects of the aging society. Issues related to the migration on the level of internal security of the country have become the inspiration for writing this thesis. In the course of writing this thesis, the author used the extensive literature of the subject as well as articles in scientific journals.

Theoretical background: Human capital is one of the key factors in the development of entrepreneurship, production and services. The goal of each enterprise is to make a profit, the realization of which requires investment. When developing investment projects, it is crucial to choose the most promising ones, at the same time, it is necessary to take into account the existence of “bottlenecks”, and investment activity should be directed to liquidate them. So, the optimal values of the enterprises’ investments in the situation of sufficient and insufficient levels of human capital are found and the factors influencing them are analyzed. The study of the issue of human capital today cannot bypass the question of refugees. As a result of the war in Ukraine, a large wave of migration processes is taking place in Poland, and, therefore, there is a problem and need for adaptation of people fleeing from the war. The social problem that arose due to the large number of refugees in Poland requires a comprehensive solution that would aim not only to help the refugees, but also the Polish economy. The best possible solution to the problem of refugees, both for themselves and for the host countries, is to involve them in an egalitarian society and equal economic life. The study highlights the possibility of using technical capabilities for the development of human capital on the example of a mobile application “Pszukaj” developed by the authors. Purpose of the article: The aim of this paper is to build and analyze optimization models of investments in the field of production of goods and provision of services and in the development of human capitalin the situation of sufficient and insufficient levels of human capital development. The practical research question of this study is to consider the case of the “Pszukaj” mobile application as a communication tool for refugees wishing to function independently in Polish society. Research methods: The role of human capital in the enterprises’ activities will be evaluated based on constructed investment optimization models. The importance of technological opportunities for human capital development will be evaluated based on the case of the “Pszukaj” mobile application. Main findings: This study contributes to the existing research by offering the analysis of constructed investment optimization models in situation of sufficient and insufficient levels of human capital. The dependence of the optimal values of investments in the development of the sphere of production of goods and provision of services and in human capital on both efficiency indicators of investments in the corresponding directions is shown and analyzed. From the practical perspective, the value of technological opportunities for human capital on the example of "Pszukaj" is shown.

Six years after the so-called ‘refugee crisis’ in 2015, the European Union remains divided on questions of migration and asylum policy. The issue also remains high on the agendas of the USA and Russia, two other key destination countries with immigration from Latin America and the Post-Soviet space. This article presents results from a comparative study of news coverage in 17 countries, focusing on 10 EU member states in Western and Central Eastern Europe (CEE), the USA and Russia. The intensity of coverage was remarkably different, with Hungary’s and Germany’s media standing out while Russian media displayed relatively low levels of coverage. Individual migrants and refugees were most visible in the two outlets from the USA. Media in CEE countries tended towards a more critical approach than media in Western Europe. However, differences between most countries’ pairs of analyzed media outlets indicate a more pluralistic debate than frequently assumed.

This article concerns select aspects of social perceptions and categorizations of foreigners settling in Poland. The core of this work is an analysis of a series of qualitative interviews conducted with young, educated residents of Warsaw. Herein the authors draw attention to a significant change in the consciousness of Polish society: a recognition of the permanent presence of migrants in Poland as well as discernment of the sociocultural problems associated with that presence. In the eyes of our interlocutors, the past two decades have been a time in which the attitude of Poles towards incoming aliens has shifted. Influencing opinions have been personal or familial experiences of emigration, particularly after the 2004 accession of Poland into the European Union. Also affecting attitudes have been an immigration wave from Ukraine as well as the tangible consequences of the 2015 migrant crisis. On the one hand, all these factors together have caused Poland to be seen today as not only an emigration, but also an immigration country. On the other hand, these have also provoked a conscious classification of various categories of migrants with regards to their geographic and cultural background along with the roles they might possibly fill in this country.

Currently we are witnessing migration, which for different reasons exhibits a growth tendency. It does not just concern big cities, but also smaller towns, where we can encounter people with different cultural backgrounds, religion, dialect, and values. Multicultural education comes out to meet the expectations of the minorities and its main purpose is to create a platform for dialog and communication, as well as the composition of educational programs and multicultural upbringing. The article explains the situation of refugees, with emphasis on the education and upbringing of children. It provided examples of multicultural education implemented in a small elementary school from a County of Bielsk.

The causes of the great migratory movements are most often war conflicts, natural disasters and natural disasters, but the movement of people is also conducive to the development of infrastructure, including civil aviation and globalization - traveling for tourism, economic, seeking a place of better existence. The aim of the study is to characterize and assess the scale of the phenomenon of migration of the population and its eff ects on the health situation of Polish citizens. Currently, we don’t know much about the extent of transmission of diseases imported in Europe. Migration and imported infections are changing the distribution of infectious diseases in our region, the increase in the number of migrants and refugees is increasingly important for the epidemiology of infectious diseases. WHO experts emphasize that infectious diseases are primarily associated with poverty, exposure to infections and incomplete vaccination status. Currently, the increase in cases of measles, and hepatitis especially of type A and B is observed, while the low or almost negligible risk of disease concerns diseases transmitted by the vector, such as schistosomiasis, malaria, and leishmaniosis. It should be noted that in the case of many diseases, it is possible to prevent them by protective vaccinations and improve sanitary and living conditions.

Przyczynami wielkich ruchów migracyjnych najczęściej są konflikty wojenne i katastrofy naturalne. Jednak przemieszczaniu się ludzi sprzyja także rozwój infrastruktury, w tym lotnictwa cywilnego, oraz globalizacja – podróże w celach turystycznych, ekonomicznych lub w poszukiwaniu lepszego miejsca do życia. Celem opracowania jest charakterystyka i ocena skali zjawiska migracji ludności i jej skutków dla sytuacji zdrowotnej mieszkańców Polski. Obecnie niewiele wiadomo na temat zasięgu przenoszenia chorób importowanych w Europie. Migracja i przywożone infekcje zmieniają dystrybucję chorób zakaźnych w naszym regionie, a wzrost liczby migrantów i uchodźców ma coraz większe znaczenie dla epidemiologii chorób zakaźnych. Eksperci Światowej Organizacji Zdrowia podkreślają, że choroby zakaźne są związane przede wszystkim z ubóstwem, narażeniem na infekcje i niepełnym statusem szczepień. Obecnie odnotowuje się wzrost zachorowań na odrę i wirusowe zapalenie wątroby, zwłaszcza typu A i B; natomiast małe lub wręcz znikome ryzyko zachorowania dotyczy chorób przenoszonych przez wektor, jak np. schistosomatoza, malaria, leiszmanioza. Należy zaznaczyć, że w przypadku wielu chorób istnieje możliwość zapobiegania im poprzez szczepienia ochronne oraz poprawę warunków sanitarnych i bytowych.
