Abstract
The redrawing of the European map in the aftermath of the events of 1989 and the collapse of the communist regimes triggered an unprecedented mobility of persons and heralded a new phase in European migrations. The former predominantly labour migration pattern has become highly diversified: refugees, ‘repatriates,’ shuttle/commuter migrants, undocumented and trafficked migrants are now some of the numerically most important categories along with the traditional labour and family migration (Morawska, 2000; Morokvasic & Rudolph, 1994, 1996; Okolski, 2001; Salt, 1995; Thränhardt, 1996; Wallace, C., Chmouliar, O., & Sidorenko, E., 1996; Wallace & Stola, 2001; Weber, 1998; Withol de Wenden & de Tinguy 1995). A new ‘migratory space’ between East and West (Morokvasic & de Tinguy, 1993) emerged as a space of departure and circulation, and also functions as a transit and a target space (Iglicka, 1999; Morawska, 2000; Okolski, 1998). Some scholars therefore call this new space a “buffer zone” (Stola, 2001; Wallace, 2001; Wallace et al., 1996).
