Stredný východ Form. Descr. recenzie - reviews Language English Country Slovak Republic Annotation Migration is, since 2015, one of the most politicised phenomena of international politics in Europe. Originally a consequence of the devastating conflicts in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, the issue has now become more of an internal political tool of European states. Nonetheless, the topic remais crucial not only for political scientists but also for the wider public and it is important to bring the facts back into the otherwise very emotional debate on it. The following book is aiming directly at doing that. It brings the Czech reader an overview of approaches to and consequences of migration. First, it introduces the concept and its European history. As this introduction is crucial, it covers three whole chapters of the book. In the first chapter, the general historical tendencies in migration are identified. The second chapter illustrates the changes on the continent as it was transformed from a place of emigration to a destination for people moving away from war and/or hardships, or looking for work. The third chapter consequently analyses the most recent migration wave. The book continues with an overview of theoretical and conceptual topics related to the study of migration, especially in the European context. The European approach is compared to that of Australia, which is undertaking extremely restrictive immigration policies. Next, the concept of "Fortress Europe" is presented. Despite being a buzzword, it is clear that it lacks a unified meaning even among its far-right supporters on the political scenes of European states. Consequently, teichopolitics as a reaction to globalization in general and migration specifically is presented. The final chapter then looks at the effects of climate change on migration patterns in the Sahel and Burkina Faso specifically. This second part of the book thus goes deeper into selected phenomena and gives readers more in-depth coverage of the topic. The book thus develops an introduction to the issue that was lacking in the Czech literature and helps the Czech readers to better orient themselves in this very vast and complex issue.
