Transnational mobility and gender: a view from post-wall Europe

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). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
