The third category is fluid and its ‘membership’- can change according to need, convenience and time; the selection is often based on the current immigration policy priorities of different states. In most cases, the third group consists of asylum seekers, refugees and undocumented migrants (Aas 2011; Carling 2011; Kmak 2015). However, in recent years much focus has also been placed on the categorisation ‘unwanted’ as applied to people who have been othered by societies (in either the ‘host’ country or the ‘country of origin’) and are perceived as a ‘burden’ to society itself and/or to the welfare systems of various states. In the European Union, on which this Special Issue focuses, the latter categorisatio– n and subsequent enforcement of removals within its borders often targets the Roma community (van Baar, Ivasiuc and Kreide 2019). Another targeted group consists of migrants with criminal records those who commit a crime on the territory of the host country. As Mantu and Minderhood (in this issue) observe, ‘poverty, ethnicity and criminality are common elements on which unwantedness is constructed in public and political discourse’. It is these aspects of ‘unwantedness’ that the articles in this Special Issue consider in detail. EU citizens exercising ‘free movement’ rights within the European Union enjoy, at least in theory, 1 - more protection from deportation or other forms of forced removal from and– between EU members states– than third country nationals. In practice, however, while EU Directives on freedom of movement and residence give its citizens privileges of mobility within the Union, they also paradoxically, perhaps expand the grounds on which exclusion can take place, as we discuss briefly below. EU citizens within the Union are subjected to the same processes of segregation as those described above and a growing number are forced to return to their countries of origin. In the UK, just to give one example, in the year * Institute of Law Studies, Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland.

Klaus, A. Martynowicz after the Brexit referendum in June 2016, the number of removals of EU citizens increasedg by 20 per cent, with the overall number of EU nationals returned from the UK to their countries of origin reaching just over 5,300 in 2017 (Blinder 2017; Home Office 2017). In fact, since 2006 the UK overnment in- vested considerable resources in speeding up deportations (Kaufman 2015; Martynowicz 2016). How- ever, this phenomenon is not limited to the UK; as Brandariz (in this issue) notes, it is widespread throughout most of the- Western European countries. There, deportations and administrative removals often target citizens of the Central and Eastern European member states (see also Klajn in this issue). Even when the Covid 19 pandemic caused a complete lockdown in the spring of 2020, followed by the closure of borders within the2 EU, deportations and other removals did not stop and, for this purpose, the borders remained open. – – othered Removals are enforced- regardless of the length of residence on the territory of the ‘host’ country. In many cases, it is enough that at some point the migrants have become by the host society or its government as non belonging or ‘dangerous’. Notions such as the ‘abuse of [Treaty] rights’ as a legal ground for expulsion under EU Directives can translate- into harsh exclusionary state practices, exem- plified in recent years by the UK’s drive to remove hundreds of homeless EU citizens, despite the fact that many of them were economically active tax payers and, as such, were meeting the threshold for legal residence on UK’s territory (see, for example, BBC 2018). Other grounds for expulsion (such as the - 3 public policy grounds outlined in the EU Free Movement Directive ) are equally problematic in their elusive nature and are open to wide ranging interpretations by the different EU member states. In the most recent and, perhaps,- the most telling example thus far of the power of public policy over European freedom of movement, it was this exception that permitted the closure of internal borders by EU states in response to the Covid 19 pandemic (Marin 2020). Ironically, however, and as mentioned above, it has not stopped individuals –being transferred across borders for the purposes of deportation. - Finally, the threat of deportation and/or removal can result from changes to the EU membership of the country of residence a situation– potentially faced by thousands of EU citizens living in the post Brexit UK.

  • On the Magazine Curierul Românesc (The Romanian Courier)
    ON THE MAGAZINE CURIERUL ROMÂNESC (THE ROMANIAN COURIER) Thirty-six years ago, on May 19th, 1980, my husband and I started the publication CURIERUL ROMÂNESC in Gothenburg, Sweden. From the beginning, we, Octavian Ciupitu and Silvia Constantinescu, have been the owners and editors of the publication, assisted by our four children (Mariejeanne Atanasia Ciupitu, Anne-Marie Theodora Ciupitu, Marc Paul Veniamin Ciupitu, and Theo Alex Christian Ciupitu) who started their “journalist” activities by attaching stamps to envelopes, then by publishing their own articles in the pages of the magazine, and ultimately by sponsoring the publication. We never hoped to have, nor did we ever have, any monetary gains from this activity. We never depended financially on anyone other than our family income; editing of the publication took place every evening after our regular day jobs: Octavian as an architect, and I as a teacher, librarian, translator, reviewer, correspondent for the BBC, Free Europe, etc. We donated the publication to those who wanted to read it. The publication has never been subject to, nor directed by, any authority or political party! We tried to make room for a large number of speakers of the Romanian language in exile, as well as some representatives of the Romanian and Swedish societies, regardless of their political leanings, ethnic or religious affiliation, and without censoring any ideas, because we considered, and continue to consider, that the role of the journalist is to correctly inform readers and give them the opportunity to form their own opinions, and not to be the propagandist in the service of those who pay better! When we started this publication, our hope was to connect with other politically exiled people from Romania, to let us share our experience of living in the country of Sweden, with a remarkably different way of thinking and behavior from that in Romania, and to learn as much as possible about this country in which we lived with our children, but doing so using the Romanian language.

This article examines the stereotype accommodation hypothesis, which states Politicians that differences in cultural stereotypes between immigrants’ host and origin cultures areasource of inconsistent stereotype-relevant information that immigrants may or may not incorporate into their preexisting beliefs. Support for this hypothesis is found in two studies of locals in Romania, Germany, and France (N = 532), and Romanian immigrants in Germany and in France (N = 225). Length of stay in the host culture and acculturation orientation predict the stereotype accommodation regarding politicians, the only social group for which stereotypes substantially differ between origin and host cultures. The results represent the first step in a researchagenda for studying migrants’ socio-cognitive adaptation beyond the question of inter-ethnic stereotype change.

    Nation, Ethnicity and Race on Russian Television Russia, one of the most ethno-culturally diverse countries in the world, provides a rich case study on how globalization and associated international trends are disrupting and causing the radical rethinking of approaches to inter-ethnic cohe- sion. The book highlights the importance of television broadcasting in shaping national discourse and the place of ethno-cultural diversity within it. It argues that television’s role here has been reinforced, rather than diminished, by the rise of new media technologies. Through an analysis of a wide range of news and other television programmes, the book shows how the covert meanings of discourse on a particular issue can diverge from the overt significance attributed to it, just as the impact of that dis- course may not conform with the original aims of the broadcasters. The book discusses the tension between the imperative to maintain security through cen- tralized government and overall national cohesion that Russia shares with other European states, and the need to remain sensitive to, and to accommodate, the needs and perspectives of ethnic minorities and labour migrants. It compares the increasingly isolationist popular ethno-nationalism in Russia, which harks back to ‘old-fashioned’ values, with the similar rise of the Tea Party in the United States and the UK Independence Party in Britain. Throughout, this extremely rich, well-argued book complicates and challenges received wisdom on Russia’s recent descent into authoritarianism. It points to a regime struggling to negotiate the dilemmas it faces, given its Soviet legacy of ethnic particularism, weak civil society, large native Muslim population and over- bearing, yet far from entirely effective, state control of the media.

    Morphological diversity of chernozemic soils in south-western PolandSOIL SCIENCE ANNUAL211 Vol. 70 No. 3/2019: 211–224 DOI: 10.2478/ssa-2019-0019 BEATA £ABAZ*, CEZARY KABA£A, MICHA£ DUDEK, JAROS£AW WAROSZEWSKI Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Institute of Soil Sciences and Environmental Protection ul. Grunwaldzka 53, 50-357 Wroc³aw, Poland Morphological diversity of chernozemic soils in south-western Poland Abstract: Diverse chernozemic soils featured by thick mollic horizon, rich in humus, dark-coloured, structural, and saturated with base cations are relatively common in the loess-belt of SW Poland. It is postulated, that most of these soils may have similar initial (chernozemic) history of thick humus horizon, related to climate conditions and vegetation in the Late Pleistocene and the Neolithic periods. However, these soils exist on various bedrocks and under different moisture conditions that led to the develop- ment accompanying features and variable classification of soils, both in Polish and international soil classifications. The aim of the paper is to presents the most important variants of loess-derived chernozemic soils of SW Poland, in relation to local conditions, which influenced soil transformation and present spatial diversification. 'Typical' chernozems (WRB: Calcic Chernozems), which have a mollic horizon and secondary carbonates, but are free of strong redoximorphic features, are rather uncommon in the region. Whereas, the black earths (WRB: Gleyic/Stagnic Chernozems/Phaeozems), featured by the presence of mollic horizon and strong gleyic or stagnic properties in the middle and bottom parts of the profiles, are predominant loess-derived chernozemic soils in SW Poland. Their most specific forms, developed on the clayey bedrock, are black earths with a vertic horizon (WRB: Vertic Stagnic Phaeozems).

Grunwaldzka 53, 50-375 Wroc³aw, Poland Chernozem (czarnoziem) – soil of the year 2019 in Poland. Origin, classification and use of chernozems in Poland Abstract: The Soil Science Society of Poland has elected chernozem to be the Soil of the Year 2019. Although chernozems cover less than 2% of Poland, they have high importance for agriculture due to their productivity and play a specific scientific role for understanding of soil development and functioning in an environment. Chernozems are also crucial for the reconstruction of Neolithic agriculture development and human impacts on soil and landscape. This introductory paper presents (a) a specific definition of chernozem in Poland, connected with a separate distinction of black earths and colluvial chernozemic soils; (b) a review of the present and former classification schemes for chernozems in Poland and their correlation with international soil classification systems (WRB and Soil Taxonomy); (c) the spatial distribution of chernozems in Poland, their agricultural evaluation and threats for chernozems' quality and future existence related to intense land use.
