The article examines transnational character of the Senegalese Diaspora in Spain. A short account of the history of migrations from Senegal to Europe introduces the subject. Special emphasis is put on the continuation of the colonial discourse in the representation of African immigrants. The main focus of the analysis is on the transnational practices of the Senegalese in Spain. These are conducted through the bond that links the community with the society of origin. This strong attachment helps to resist the influence of the European culture, especially in the sphere of values and customs.

In this paper I describe a local, Warsowian discourse focused on the phenomena of immigration into the capital city from other parts of Poland. In Bourdieu's categories I draw upon the field of game played in Warsaw between two kinds of players: natives and immigrants. Both of them build definitions of the others based on wrongful stereotypes and prejudices. Such a discourse has been used by the natives as a tool of exclusion of the migrants from the sphere of work and symbolic capital. They impute the migrants to be immoral, bad qualified and determined to stay in Warsaw. The immigrants show the natives as the second or third generation of the immigrants from the poor countryside which came to the capital city directly after the World War II. From this point of view the present natives usurp "the right to the city", the symbolic capital and the right to take the best places on the job market. Specifically, I am interested in patterns of the exclusion constructed by the natives in the discourse and also in answers of immigrants who use rather defensive strategies.

In the nineteenth century started on the unprecedented earlier scale migration from China to the areas of the Americas. The main group were coolies, the new cheap, slave manpower. Their migration, caused by the internal crisis in China, on the other by growing demand for manpower in Americas, lasted almost until the end of the century, and on a smaller scale already in the first decades of the twentieth century. More than half a million Chinese settled in the western hemisphere, most in Cuba and Peru. Immigrants didn't assimilate with the local people and created closed „Chinese" enclaves. This and economic competition caused hostility towards the „yellow plague", often expressed in pogroms of immigrants. Chinese emigration to american states also had an impact on China relations with them (in such issues as the establishment of diplomatic relations and signing treaties about status of the Chinese minority).

The aim of the paper is to present issues related to the approach to the integration of immigrants in Poland in the last three decades. The article is seeking an answer to the question of how the approach to immigrant integration has evolved? Does the evolving approach reflect the rising tide of change taking place in Europe? First, the article discusses the issues of migration to Poland. It is essential to consider cultural conditions related to the national identity and migration history of a given country in an attempt to explain the evolution of the integration policy. The subsequent parts analyze the Polish integration policy until 2015 and the integration policy after 2015. The results of the research show that in Poland, the approach to the integration of immigrants has evolved in a short time: from the “strategy of abandonment” to “integration” understood as a two-way process of adaptation to the concept of assimilation.

The immigration crisis has in recent years become the leitmotif of electoral campaigns in the states of the Three Seas Initiative. Politicians do not avoid anti-immigration rhetoric, presenting immigration, mainly from the Middle East and Africa, as the greatest threat to their countries today. They create an extremely negative image of immigrants coming to Europe, generally identified as Muslims. This was the case, e.g. during the last elections in Hungary, Slovakia or the Czech Republic. This last case is the subject of analysis in this article. The author investigates the causes and effects of this phenomenon and highlights the topics related to immigration that dominated the 2017 and 2018 electoral campaigns.

The aim of the article is the reconstruction of a nature of EU’s immigration policy that emerges from EU’s activities and reaction on migration crisis, understood as an effect of the unprecedented inflow of economic migrants and asylum seekers in 2015–2016. The analysis is focused on presenting the impact of the concept of security on the nature and scope of legislative and political measures adopted by the EU in the scope of migration policy. The article underlines that security is a factor which fundamentally determines the EU’s migration policy. The EU’ intervention to the migration crisis, giving priority to security-driven concern, was focused to meet a ‘secure border’ demand, understood as a process of increase the level of their closeness (as a opposition to openness) and impermeability. In the effect, the EU’s response to the migration crisis was highly narrow, fragmentary and insufficient.

Nowadays, the significance of women in the international movement of migrants is important both from a quantitative and qualitative point of view. Many migrant women move to other countries either on their own or to join their husbands or other family members. The number of migrant women is also increasing in Europe. For this reason, focusing on the phenomenon of gender-based migration has become an important research element and affects many areas. The mass migration of women from highly diverse cultural backgrounds to European countries draws particular attention to the problems of integrating these women in host countries. However, most European countries lack integration policies that take into account the real needs of migrant women. Given that women account for almost half of all migrants, data on migration should be gender-sensitive and state policies must take into account how gender actually shapes the different needs of migrants. Also, since migrant women/ refugees who come to European countries constitute a heterogeneous group in many respects, this heterogeneity should be taken into account in integration processes. In this article, two issues have been taken into account as research questions: 1, are immigrant/refugee women treated the same as immigrant/refugee men? and 2, is gender taken into account in the integration policies of European countries? To study the issues presented in the article, a review of the available literature was used, as well as data available on the websites of the OECD and the European Commission.

W wielu krajach Europy dotkniętych problemem starzenia się społeczeństw coraz większe znaczenie dla rozwoju gospodarczego odgrywa imigracja zarobkowa. Problem starzenia się ludności dotyczy również Polski, która w nieodległej przyszłości będzie krajem charakteryzującym się jednym z najwyższych w Europie udziałem w społeczeństwie osób w wieku emerytalnym. Można zadać sobie pytania, czy polska gospodarka potrzebuje imigrantów oraz czy w przypadku imigrantów na polskim rynku pracy mamy do czynienia ze zjawiskiem komplementarności czy substytucyjności? W ostatnich kilku latach szybko wzrastała liczba zezwoleń na pracę udzielonych imigrantom w Polsce. W 2007 r. łączna liczba zezwoleń na pracę i oświadczeń pracodawców o zamiarze zatrudniania cudzoziemców wynosiła 34 tys., zaś w pierwszym półroczu 2013 r. sięgała już 164,6 tys. Ponadto imigranci coraz częściej są zatrudniani w różnych branżach przemysłu oraz w transporcie. Celem artykułu jest pokazanie skali zjawiska imigracji zarobkowej do Polski. Główne źródło danych stanowią statystyki dotyczące liczby wydawanych zezwoleń na pracę i rejestrowanych oświadczeń o woli zatrudnienia pracownika cudzoziemca.

In many European countries affected by ageing, becoming increasingly important for the economic development of labour migration plays. Ageing also applies to Polish, which in the near future will be a country characterized by one of the highest in Europe, participation in society of people of retirement age. You can ask yourself the question whether the Polish economy needs immigrants? and whether, in the case of immigrants on the Polish labour market we have to deal with the phenomenon of complementarity or substitution? In the last few years, rapidly increasing the number of work permits granted to immigrants in Poland. In 2007, the total number of work permits and declarations of intention of employers employing foreigners amounted to 34 thousand, while in the first half of 2013 years has reached 164.6 thousand. In addition, immigrants are increasingly employed in various sectors of industry and transport. The purpose of this article is to show the scale of immigration into Polish. In this article, the main source of data are the statistics on the number of work permits issued and recorded statements of employment the employee will foreigner.

The problem of discrimination and unequal treatment of women from culturally diverse backgrounds affects countries such as the Netherlands. The centuries of tolerance and openness to an “alien” seem to be ending. This is evidenced by numerous reports and scientific studies, statements from specialists, and experts on the issues of immigrant integration. Increasingly, feeling marginalised and deprived of development opportunities, immigrant or refugee women come to the fore. Some of them (those remaining in isolation) are represented by aid organisations, i.e. foundations, associations, volunteer groups, and the municipalities themselves. This article covers the existing issue of the increasing number of refugees and immigrants in the Netherlands, especially refugee and immigrant women towards whom, according to specialists, integration policy should be redefined.

Niniejszy artykuł jest zaledwie próbą podejścia do problematyki migracji legalnej i nielegalnej we współczesnej Polsce. Migracja powiązana jest z identyfikacją, jak również z integracją poszczególnych kategorii grup czy osób (obcokrajowców), którzy z różnych powodów znaleźli się na terytorium Polski. Owa migracja nie zawsze jest legalna. Cudzoziemcy, którzy nie dopełniają często formalności legalizacyjnych, podejmują nielegalnie pracę, czy są w naszym kraju sprawcami przestępstw lub wykroczeń, uczestniczą w procederze migracji zwanej nielegalną. Tym samym znajdują się w trudnym położeniu prawnym. Ci którzy są legalnie próbują identyfikować się z krajem do którego przybyli, jest to ich „nowa ojczyzna.” Podjęta w artykule tematyka stawia wiele pytań skłaniających do głębszych analiz. Odpowiedzią na nie mogą być w przyszłości liczne badania socjologiczne podejmowane przez badaczy z różnych ośrodków naukowych, wyspecjalizowanych w tej problematyce.

This paper constitutes but a first attempt to assess legal and illegal migration into Poland today. Migration calls for classification/identification as well as integration of the various non -resident groups or individuals, who, for different reasons, ended up in Poland. This (im-)migration is not always legal. Foreigners, who don’t comply with the legal requirements, take up illegal work, break the law or perpetrate crimes and participate in the procedure of the so called illegal migration. Their legal status is unclear and difficult to assess. Compared with them legal immigrants, for who the country of entry constitutes their new home, try their best to adapt. The subject matter only grazed on the surface in this paper raises new issues worth closer investigation. Answers and solutions to these questions may be provided by sociological research conducted by experts in various academic institutions that specialize in this field.

The paper presents the results of a research project carried out in Łódź and the Łódź region under EU grant Diversity Improvement as a Viable Enrichment Resource for Society and Economy. The research was conducted in various institutions dealing with foreigners in Poland and in the region, in enterprises employing immigrants (public, for-profit and not-for-profit), and in voluntary organizations with which such persons are involved.The purpose of the project was to find out if there is an effectively functioning model in Poland and in the region for Third Country Nationals (TCNs) integration, and if any practices have been adopted to support their equal treatment and effective valorisation of their skills, knowledge and competence.The presence of TNCs in the Łódź region is only marginal. They are mostly staying in Łódź and its metropolitan area. Their nationality structure has been found to be similar to that of the country as a whole – the most numerous are immigrants from Ukraine (25% of the total number of immigrants), Belarus and other former socialist countries, and from Asia (Chinese constituting 10% of their total number). The majority of the im­migrants are employed in positions which do not require high qualifications. Those staying in the Łódź region are mainly working in manufacturing, con­struction and trade, depending on their country of origin.In view of the present demographic situation of the aging Polish society and considering external factors such as the war and economic crisis in Ukraine, an increased inflow of TCNs should be expected.

Artykuł omawia rezultaty badań prowadzonych w Łodzi i regionie łódzkim w ramach grantu UE nt. Diversity Improvement as a Viable Enrichment Resource for Society and Economy. Badania przeprowadzono w różnych instytucjach zajmujących się cudzoziemcami w Polsce i regionie, w przedsiębiorstwach zatrudniających imigrantów (10 przedsiębiorstw – public, profit i non profit) oraz w organizacjach wolontariackich, w których takie osoby działają.Ogólnym celem projektu było sprawdzenie, czy funkcjonuje w Polsce i regionie skuteczny model integracji imigrantów spoza UE, zbadanie czy istnieją praktyki wspierające ich równe traktowanie oraz skuteczna waloryzacja ich umiejętności, wiedzy i kompetencji. Wyniki badań stanowiły podstawę do wskazania co i jak należy poprawić w działaniach wobec imigrantów. Celem niniejszej pracy była prezentacja idei i wyników tego projektu.Jak wykazały badania, obecność imigrantów spoza UE w regionie łódzkim jest marginalna. Cudzoziemcy koncentrowali się głównie w Łodzi i jej obszarze metropolitalnym. Ich struktura narodowościowa okazała się podobna jak w całej Polsce – najliczniej reprezentowani byli przybysze z Ukrainy (25% ogółu imigrantów), Białorusi i innych byłych krajów socjalistycznych oraz z Azji (w tym Chińczycy 10% ogółu). Przeważały osoby zatrudnione na stanowiskach nie wymagających wysokich kwalifikacji. Imigranci przebywający w regionie łódzkim, w zależności od kraju pochodzenia, pracowali głównie w przemyśle wytwórczym, budownictwie i handlu.Wobec aktualnych potrzeb w sytuacji demograficznej starzejącego się społeczeństwa polskiego, jak również takich czynników zewnętrznych, jak np. wojna i kryzys gospodarczy na Ukrainie, spodziewany będzie większy napływ imigrantów spoza UE.Generalnym wnioskiem z badań jest wskazanie, że należy udoskonalić istniejące przepisy prawne oraz stworzyć nowe regulujące w lepszy sposób problem pobytu imigrantów spoza UE, zasad uznawania ich kwalifikacji zawodowych oraz pozyskiwania pracy w Polsce.
