Transnationalism and Settlement of Latvian Emigrants in the Nordic Countries
2021
The intra-European migration flows have fostered debates about the intentions of migrants to settle in their destination country or return to their countries of origin. Based on a quantitative analysis of survey data ('N' = 1391), this article presents a typology of migration patterns among migrants from Latvia in the Nordic countries. Using two dimensions—attachment to the destination country and attachment to the country of origin—the article identifies and characterises the following four migration patterns: (1) bi-nationals, (2) settlers, (3) footloose migrants and (4) isolated migrants who focus on their country of origin and are willing to return (separated).
"Auf Wiedersehen, mein geliebtes Spanien". Spanische Gastarbeiter in Deutschland und ihre stereotypisierte Darstellung in den Medien
2014
El análisis de obras cinematográficas y material multimedia se ha convertido en una de las herramientas más habituales y útiles en el estudio de las relaciones interculturales. Y es que no sólo los aspectos estéticos, narrativos y teóricos determinan el discurso mediático, sino que las proposiciones ideológicas pueden determinar las formas - expresivas y de contenido - de la construcción fílmica. Esto sucede de manera muy llamativa cuando se analiza material documental o fílmico referido al fenómeno de la llamada “migración de retorno”: Desde finales de los años 50 hasta la crisis del petróleo en 1973, el desarrollo económico de Alemania precisó de una enorme afluencia de mano obrera inmigr…
Migrācijas ietekme uz starptautisko biznesu, Latvijas darba tirgus
2018
Patreizējās demogrāfiskās izmaiņas Latvijā raisa vēlmi tās analizēt un izpētīt. Pašlaik Latvijas darba tirgus ir salīdzinoši sliktā formā, demogrāfiskā sarukuma, kurš pēdējā laikā pārņēmis Latviju, dēļ. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt un saprast vai Latvijas darba tirgum ir nepieciešama migrācija, lai normalizētu situāciju tajā un aizpildīttu tukšumu, kas radies demogrāfiskā sarukuma dēļ, un vai patlaban redzama migrācijas ietekme uz demogrāfiju, algām bezdarba līmeni, uzņēmumiem un Latvijas darba tirgu kopumā. Ņemot vērā patreizējās problēmas Latvijas darba tirgū, migrācija varētu būt adekvāts īslaicīgs problēmas risinājums, un šis darbs pierāda, ka migrācijas efekts būtu pieņemams. No otras puses…
Schistosomiasis reaches Europe
2015
International audience; An outbreak of urogenital schistosomiasis has been detected in Europe, with patients affected in France,1,2 Germany,1,2 and Italy. The infection originated in Corsica, in a river north of Porto-Vecchio, a popular tourist destination (figure). The introduction of schistosomiasis is believed to be associated with infected people arriving from a region endemic for the exclusively African parasite, Schistosoma haematobium and disseminating parasite eggs through their urine into snail breeding sites along the river.

Polityka regionalna państwa po październiku 1956 r. na Śląsku Opolskim wobec regionalizmu
2017
The article is a continuation of considerations on the functioning of Polish regionalism in Silesia in the period of Polish People’s Republic, that is in a totalitarian State, after the end of Stalinism. The state authorities in Warsaw came to face the ąuestion how to halt the autochthonic population’s rapid willingness to emigrate to the FRG, which was fueled by the action of ”joining families”. Corrections introduced into the social policy were not of much help in this respect, since the deepening differences in the ąuality of life and the encouraging attitude represented by the authorities in Bonn, ready to accept repatriates and refugees, aided by practically stagnant economy and ”crude…
The global economic crisis as a critical Juncture? The crisis's impact on migration movements and policies in Europe and the US
2016
The current global economic crisis has resulted in the strongest recession in the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries since the Great Depression in the early 1930s and the 1970s oil shocks. This special issue sets out to explore how the most recent economic crisis impacted immigration and immigration-related policy in the United States of America and in European countries that are part of the OECD. The crisis of the late 2000s was offset by the collapse of the subprime US housing market, destabilising the financial system and leading to a sovereign debt crisis. The shock was marked by a “sudden […] deterioration of most, or all, key macroeconomic indicator…

REAL HUMANS? : Affective imaginaries of the human and its Others in the Swedish TV series Äkta människor
2019
According to the Swedish science fiction TV series Äkta människor (Real Humans, SVT and Matador film 2012-2014), humanoid robots called “hubots” are replacing the human workforce in care work and assembly line industries. Against the backdrop of current debates about immigration and citizenship in the Nordic countries, this article does a close, contextual reading of the series, exploring how the hubots influence work and family life. We are particularly interested in how hubots tie in with the cultural circulation of affect in relation to Otherness and how responses towards the “not-quite” human or dehumanized Other are negotiated in the present-day Nordic cultural imaginaries. What kinds …
The Sense of Belonging to the Country: Integrative Relationships and Spatiotemporal Commitment
2020
The satisfaction of the need to belong reflects in the sense of being an integrative part of the group or social system. There is some lack of empirical evidence for the structure of this sense at the macro level. This study assessed a two-dimensional model of the sense of belonging to the country, which included relational and spatiotemporal components. Participants were 539 university students from 18 to 50 (74% females). Questions regarding involvement, perceived acceptance, sense of commonality, and feeling at home represented the relational component of the sense of belonging. Four temporal categories—the recent past, present, and the near and distant future—were included in the assess…
