The aim of the article is to discuss weak and strong points of qualitative approach in migration studies. Starting with the observation that qualitative studies tend to be seen as inferior to quantitative studies in field of international mobility, the article lists possible reasons for this situation. They include: relatively low reliability of qualitative research tools and techniques, relatively low explanatory power of qualitative studies, small number of cases put under investigation, limits of generalization of qualitative results and low transparency of qualitative techniques of analysis. The article proposes possible solutions to tackle those weaknesses of qualitative approach and demonstrates pro arguments for using qualitative approach in studies of international mobility in a set of situations, especially in studies on groups of foreign migrants in the destination country.

The growing interest in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis is due to its inheritance manner, circular DNA stability, high copy number per cell and mutational rate. These features give possibility to study mtDNA isolated from modern humans as well as from ancient samples. What is more, analysis of mtDNA from present populations enables to conclude about their history. Mitochondrial DNA variation level indicates, if for example, demic expansion structured today genetic composition. Thanks to modern mtDNA analysis migrations direction and other demographic events can be dated back without problematic extraction and analysis of ancient DNA. Not only the existence of well defined, continental specific mtDNA clades was shown, but also group specific lineages were revealed. Molecular methods enabled discrimination between related mtDNAs and detailed phylogenetic tree of female lineages was drawn. Analysis of mtDNA supported a hypothesis about modern Homo sapiens origin in Africa, and led light on migratory routes in Asia, Europe and the Americas.

The paper aimed to recognize key factors which influence migration process of the people living in municipalities constituting Pomorskie province in the period of 2000 - 2009. It was identified that there are specific territories which shows during the years positive balance of migration. Despite it, no specific territories were identified as showing negative migration balance for more than two - three years within analyzed period. The paper identifies that such factors like unemployment rate, living area and perception of the quality of life influence migration level. The source of the analyzed data was statistical information provided by the Polish Central Statistical Office and report from the migration survey conducted by the research company PBS DGA Sp. z o.o. during the period of July 2008 – August 2009 among 4000 respondents living in Pomorskie province.

The aim of the presented paper is to analyze international migrations both from and to the area of ex-Yugoslavia in 1991-2006 and to identify their possible influence on international relations, mainly among the successor states of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY), Central European countries with large communities of population of South Slav and Kosovo origin (Austria, Germany, Switzerland) and the Czech Republic. The paper consists of three main parts. The first part is, besides a brief characteristics of political development and circumstances leading to the break-up of SFRY, giving a detailed statistic of all the significant migration waves in each individual republic of the former federation, stating the main reasons and impacts of the migrations mentioned, as well as critically appraising all the available facts on the extent of given migration waves. The second part deals with the problems of constitution, structure and numeral development of the South Slav and Kosovo communities in the Czech Republic and other selected Central European countries. In the closing part we work towards to find a factual and time context in the changes of migration and integration policy of target countries, in reaction to the humanitarian crisis in Yugoslavia of the given period.

The article presents the results of an analysis of migration traditions of the population of the Radgoszcz commune at the start of the 20th century and in the period following Poland's accession to the European Union within the concept of trans-nationality. The analysis has been conducted by the article's author with the purpose of establishing whether trans-national migrations, which are characterised by a large number of departures and returns, are actually a new social phenomenon. The author has chosen as the field for his exploration the Radgoszcz commune which forms a part of the Dabrowski district in the region of Malopolska. At present the Dabrowski district is an area characterised by a high index of international mobility (chiefly in the direction of Austria and Germany). At the start of the 20th century this district constituted the migration centre of Galicia. It should be noted, however, that a high proportion of migrants tended to return to their local communities and to repeat many times the same migration strategies. One of the proofs of strong migration traditions is the existence of two Polish community clubs in the United States, which group migrants (or the descendants of migrants) from the Radgoszcz commune. Basing on the results of field research, which covered, among other things, the examination of archival materials and the evaluation of their content, as well as a questionnaire, the author has analysed the region's migration traditions and their influence on the present international mobility of the inhabitants of the Radgoszcz commune.

The article contains synthesis of transformation of socio-economic behaviour among rural population in Las Huastecas region in the last years of XX century and the first years of XXI century, based on the field studies conducted in rural communities in 1985, 2001 and 2006 by geographers from Warsaw University and Autonomous University of the State of Mexico. The first part concern the factors of changes of living conditions and economic activity in the Mexican rural areas. The second one presents the transformation of spatial mobility of rural inhabitants and the last one deals with diversification of socio-economic activities in Las Huastecas - initiatives related to animal production, introduction of new crops, development of handicrafts and petty trade as well as small scale tourism. Las Huastecas region seems to maintain its peripheral character, but more active attitudes of social actors can be seen as a premise for the regions future transformation. The main challenges for the local authorities are related with the exodus of young people to the big cities, accelerated by better education and migrant's network.

The national politics of the communist government was of paramount importance in relation to the settlement and management of the Polish western and northern territories. The primary elements of the politics included: the eviction of the German population, the settlement of the Polish population and the incorporation of the native Polish population into the Polish nation. These issues were strongly connected with one another and were resolved simultaneously in the process of unification. The questions of the eviction of the Germans and the new territories on the west were beyond discussion as these issues were equally important for all political parties in Poland. Both the communist as well the democratic underground supported this option. The eviction of the Germans from territories taken over by Poland after the end of World War II constituted one of the major political targets of the new state. The Germans who were forced to migrate from their homes often protested and not infrequently faced numerous forms of the direct use of force. The main problem of the western and northern territories of Poland, abandoned in 60% of the area, consisted in the settlement of Polish people. The settlement on the Regained Territories before the establishment of the Ministry for Regained Territories, despite various attempts to introduce numerous schemes, remained disorganized and uncoordinated. It proceeded impulsively, with relatively little control of the local administration, and poor involvement of the central government. The activity of the newly established Ministry for the Regained Territories allowed for better planning of the settlement of the post-German territories. In consequence of World War II, the western and northern territories of Poland were almost completely abandoned by their inhabitants who were replaced by immigrants from various regions of Poland as well as from abroad. Most of these new settlers came of their own will, there were however many cases of forced migration. The attitude of Poles was influenced mainly by political and social circumstances. During the first wave of the after-war settlement this attitude grew out of the experience of the war. There was a lot of hostility fear about the potential return of the Germans. In the first period these attitudes were strengthened by the presence of the German population and their contacts with the Red Army. The official anti-German propaganda exerted a strong impact on the attitudes of the Polish settlers and arose a lot of hostility, frustration and violence.

European agriculture has recently undergone important changes connected with the reorientation of EU policy towards regional, recreational, and land-use subsidies, and owing to the internal divergence in agriculture itself, which has led to large 'industrial' farming companies on the one hand and small, ecological farms on the other. During the period of transformation, the Czech agricultural sector has been forced to confront these changes and full stability remains a long way in the future. Transformation has thus brought both advantages and disadvantages to all the players involved. The former include the existence of large-scale farms, relatively highly skilled workers, and a cheap labour force, which make Czech agriculture competitive on a European scale. On the other hand, Czech attitudes towards work and respect for the property of others are inadequate; production efficiency and quality are low, whereas the expectations of farmers are high. Czech entrepreneurs have opted for relatively strict, unsocial, win-win strategies and understand their business simply in terms of material profit. Conversely, Western businessmen active in the Czech Republic more highly value the long-term profit, social ties and the symbolic functions of agriculture, though that does not mean they would not prefer 'industrial' forms of farming. The main problem of Czech agriculture is thus the absence of family-type farms rooted in their local, social environment, and there is only limited potential for this to develop. Unfortunately, this fact creates the threat of a 'two-speed' European agriculture: the Western model, combining both small and 'industrial' farms, and the Eastern model, focusing solely on extensive large-scale farming.

The aim of this paper is to establish the pace and directions of changes in the components of the rural population's real growth. In the preparation of the typology of communes the relations between the birth-rate and the balance of migrations have been taken into account, in accordance with Webb's method. It has been shown that in the 1990s there disappeared the monotonic character of the development of rural population of the region not covered yet by systemic transformation, which was reflected in the high birth-rate consumed by the high outflow of population in the result of migration. It was replaced by the development of diverse character which found expression in the large number of development types and a general downward tendency in the birth-rate and a considerable decline in spatial mobility. The pace of changes taking place in the rural areas of the Zachodniopomorskie province of Poland exceed the average dynamics for the whole country. Although the average real increase in the country's rural population is lower than that recorded in the province the main component of this increase is the balance of migrations. In the analysed region, however, the real increase in the population is largely attributable to the birth-rate since the balance of migrations is similar to that recorded in other regions of Poland. Undeniably the most significant demographic changes in the rural areas of Poland have been determined by the socio-economic situation that prevailed in the 1990s. The decline in the level of emigration from rural areas is even now largely determined by the economic situation and only to a minimal degree by decisions taken freely by individuals. The decline in the birth-rate cannot be seen exclusively as the result of the earlier recorded depopulation processes and the ageing of the rural population but also as the result of changes in the social sphere that lead to transformations described in the context of the concept of the second demographic transition.

The text examines processes of intercultural communication applying the interactionist approach. Following the Ricoeur’s concept of discourse and the Berger’s expectation states theory, the most significant aspect of the above mentioned communication are negotiations of reality aiming to define the meaning and course of a situation and interaction. Both the dynamics and contents of social actors’ expectation result from their culturally determined perception and communication codes as well as their personal features (such as intercultural experience, motivational factors, social competences and so on). A significant role has to be ascribed, however, to the specificity of social and physical space of communication creating primary conditions for an interaction. The proposed thesis is being discussed in the context of several cases of intercultural communication placed in various kinds of social spaces.

The article presents the process of establishing and functioning of the community of Molisan Croats Diaspora. It shows a difficult process of shaping a common religious, educational, media and publishing culture of Croats, who were separated from their motherland as a result of migration. A gradual development of technology and culture and a growing consciousness of national identity make the Molisan Croats an ever stronger group which intensifies efforts to protect its roots and identity. In recent years attempts have been made to preserve the cultural traditions. A recent publication of several normative works, dictionaries and grammar books will make the future publication of primers and course books of Molisan Croats language possible.

Traditional Belarussian folklore (songs sung at harvest, in particular) reveal layers of melodic mono- and polilexis. Respectively, those create special Jones - the isolates of the melodic relics that have been preserved by the original folk living in the area. There are also other zones - of the mixed, contaminational lexicon. Thus, the directions of migration and contact places of the three primordial areas of harvest-melodic types. Research in and on the zones of mixed lexicon brings abort a question of appearance or non-appearance signs of assimilation and signs of inter-ethnic 'assimilation-resistance' in the musical-singing language. The authoress presents a variety of cultural-lexical cross-interference and interaction of the Uhr-Belarus ethnic groups. She defines co-relations, Baltico-Slavonic 'shares' in formulation of singing-melodiaic language of the Belarussians. Ad-stratic feature of the singing-melodiaic language is a result and, obviously, an evidence for the tri-ethnic composition of the old harvest-singing Belarusisan culture. The melolexical data, namely, directionality and isomels' density, existence of areas where 'archaisms are conserved ' and the existence of touch-contact zones - can be preliminarily correlated in terms of stratigraphy, and thus the time correlation is also possible, with the following: (1) archaeological cultures (Poles'e, Sozh and Neman-Dvina melolexes - and the culture zones of Milograd, Zarubinets and the one of the Hatched Ceramics culture); (2) linguo-dialectological division (entire Neman and Sozh izomels, including the migration current , - vs. the zone of central-Belarussian dialects ); (3) ethnographic phenomena (female costume). .

The inspiration for this article is the increasing number of businesses being established by Poles in Germany, especially in the eastern part of the country. The authors’ aim is to research the strategies of Polish entrepreneurs behind the western border and to point out the forms of their participation in the German labor market. We base our narrative on individual interviews with the experts in the field of transnational entrepreneurship, and we discuss the motivations and the competitive advantages of Polish entrepreneurs. We describe their barriers and reflect on the future of Polish entrepreneurship in Germany. As the context, we employ sociological theories relevant in the field of migrations and entrepreneurship and look at statistical data illustrating the activity of Polish entrepreneurs in the Polish-German cross-border area. We answer questions about their ways of functioning there from the viewpoint of representatives of companies, institutions and organizations supporting them. In the article, we base our findings on the knowledge, opinions and predictions of our experts.

The article presents the outcome of the research of Polish Measurement of Attitudes and Values (PPPiW) on the attitudes of the Poles towards foreigners carried out in 2009 and 2010. The Bogardus Social Distance Scale was used in the analyses in order to describe the social distance between the Poles and the foreigners. The outcome facilitates the comparison at the local (Warsaw) and the national level together with the description of different perspectives towards strangers. According to respondents, immigrants should integrate themselves into the society by learning Polish and by accepting local axiomatic and normative rules. Although the Poles are likely to accept foreigners as their neighbours or work colleagues, they are less keen on them as potential partners of their children. According to the acquired data, Polish citizens express positive feelings towards „different” cultural groups but think in stereotypes.

Researchers of Belorussia point out the existence of the term mixed world in the language of local people. It is quite similar to cultural borderland, but it is also used to descript sudden changes (historical, political and socio-cultural) as well as their consequences. The aim of the authoress is to popularize mentioned term and to show it might be used by anthropologists to describe the examined reality, contemporary as well as past, existing in people's memory. Selected examples from Europe are used to show the possibilities of using the concept of mixed world to describe the multicultural societies, migrations, EU enlargement or - in general - cultural borderlands and their changes. The authoress asks about the factors contributing to the mixed world. She underlines that every researcher using his own examples can present his own image of mixed world. It is a part of reality in which we live or which we reproduce from the past.

This article is the result of preliminary phase of research on transnationalism conducted by author from 2008. It focuses on adaptation of German-transmigrants, who migrated recently to Great Poland, especially Poznan city. As a result of cultural compromises, migrants work out new life styles. Since most Germans in Poznan live temporarily, the changes made to their cultural patterns are limited to necessary minimum. However it doesn't mean that Germans aim at the isolation from Poles and their culture, and focus only on their individual goals. Migrants are usually very interested in what they find upon their arrival to Poland. During their stay they verify popular stereotypes about Poles and make new observations. They can very well relate themselves to Polish reality and use its most interesting or attractive elements in the adaptation process.

All European societies have massively intermixed in the course of history. Migrations and wars were not unusual. The stability of the ethnic composition of specific groups is thus a myth. Nationalistic ideologies which present their countries as nation-states most often do not take into consideration the numerous “admixtures” which have come into existence due to migration. Similarly, the idea of cultural “purity” has no sense. Also the idea of an eternal national territory is senseless more often than not. There are nations with the predominance of emigration processes and there are nations with the predominance of immigration processes. There are also nations in diaspora and nations which are entirely composed of immigrants who recently arrived in a given place. The phenomenon of migration has great influence on the characteristics of the nation which it concerns, on its culture, and national consciousness. The perspective on migration processes was at times one of the fundamental elements of a nation’s self-identification.

Esej ten nawiązuje do klasycznych i dzisiejszych socjologicznych i antropologicznych badań nad wielokulturowością i współczesnych koncepcji rozwijanych w tych dziedzinach. Zagadnienie wielokulturowości pojawia się też w filozofii społecznej, co najmniej od czasów Hegla, ale w szczególności w ciągu ostatnich trzech dekad. Według autora, te zjawiska, które są istotne dla wielokulturowości, niekoniecznie muszą być konsekwencją migracji, wewnątrzkrajowych czy międzynarodowych, na ogół są jednak analizowane właśnie w ramach studiów migracyjnych. Wielokulturowość może być analizowana na co najmniej trzech poziomach: faktograficznym, wartościującym i normatywnym (politycznym). Nie wydaje się, aby możliwe było w demokracjach liberalnych odejście od wielokulturowości faktograficznej. Trwanie demokracji liberalnej nie jest jednak przesądzone.
EN
This essay refers to classical and current sociological and anthropological research on multiculturalism as well as to contemporary concepts developed within these fields. The idea of multiculturalism is also identified in social philosophy – starting from the times of Hegel to the most extensive developments occurring in last three decades. The author believes that the phenomena associated with multiculturalism are not necessarily a consequence of migration, international or otherwise. However, they are usually theorized in this context. Multiculturalism can be analyzed on at least three levels: social facts, social values, and social norms and policies. It seems that the retreat from multiculturalism on the factual level would be very difficult in liberal democracies. However, the future of liberal democracies is debatable.
