Overview
The Russian aggression on Ukraine has drastically altered the migration situation in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), drawing international attention. Despite numerous global studies on individuals seeking refuge, CEE remains underresearched. This book details the recent, lesser-known experiences of countless forced migrants who arrived there. Given the pivotal role of information and telecommunication technologies (ICTs) for both migrants and host societies, the book explores the intersection of ICTs and forced migration. With this in mind, the book focuses on Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, and Hungary, and uses comprehensive research and robust qualitative methods to demonstrate how these countries are emerging as New Immigration Destinations and handling the influx of Ukrainians. Contributions from economists, sociologists, and political scientists provide a thorough examination of how Ukrainian forced migrants navigate their lives using modern technologies, as well as their impact on these technologies. Essential reading for academics, policymakers, and professionals in the fields of migration studies, digital governance, and European affairs, this book uniquely highlights the vital role of ICTs in migration decisions, journeys, settlement, and integration. It provides a balanced mix of theoretical analysis and practical insights, helping readers comprehend the interplay between ICTs and migration. Readers will obtain a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities that digital technologies bring in facilitating and regulating forced migration in this part of Europe.
