Religion and Gender in Migration to and from Central and Eastern Europe – Introductory Reflections
Journal Title: Central and Eastern European Migration Review - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Since the beginning of the 1980s, the previously one-dimensional economic approach that was once dominant in migration studies has been critically reviewed and, as a result, migration has become problematised. The incorporation of other dimensions in the analysis of the processes of migration allowed for more complex diagnoses of global inequalities and related socio-cultural phenomena.
