This paper deals with the refugee crisis and its impact on the European Union. The absence of a common immigration policy, even the existence of diametrically opposed attitudes and different practices of individual member states in the regulation of the refugee wave, caused a complete failure of European Union migration and asylum policies. It has, on the one hand, deepened the refugee crisis and, on the other hand, pointed to the structural and political crisis of the European Union, since they have brought into question the fundamental values of European integration, in particular human rights, unity, cooperation, solidarity, freedom and democracy. Similarly, the conflict of supranational and national interests and policies very pronouncedly came to light. The refugee crisis has also become a serious test for not only migration and asylum policies, which have proved unsuccessful, but has brought to the fore the structural and political weaknesses of European integration. Consequently, they have raised the issue of redefining the modalities of cooperation and institutional structure, especially relations of the European Commission and nation states, as well as relations among member states, particularly big and small ones.
Tema je ovoga rada uloga DOP-a u društvu, prvenstveno u lokalnim zajednicama gdje je indeks razvijenosti ispod prosjeka Hrvatske. Većina tih zajednica smještena je u središnjemu i istočnome dijelu zemlje, posebno uz granicu s BiH i Srbijom. Riječ je o siromašnim zajednicama čije su gospodarska, demografska i socijalna situacije znatno lošije i složenije od situacije u ostalome dijelu Hrvatske. Takvo je stanje posljedica različitih čimbenika: ratnih, socijalno-ekonomskih do geografskih. Već nekoliko godina područje uz granicu sa Srbijom, a u posljednje vrijeme i područje neposredno uz granicu s BiH, pod utjecajem je i migrantske krize, odnosno velikoga pritiska nezakonitih prelazaka granice izvan graničnih prijelaza. Migranati i izbjeglice nastoje iz BiH ući u Hrvatsku te preko nje stići u Sloveniju, koja je članica Schengena, da bi se dalje nesmetano uputili na željeno odredište. Dolazak velikoga broja imigranata te pojačani nadzor državne granice radi suzbijanja krijumčarenja ljudi zahtijeva prisutnost većega broja pripadnika policije. Sve to uznemirava lokalno stanovništvo i dodatno usporava međugranični promet i ekonomski boljitak. Za lokalno stanovništvo nerazvijenih dijelova Hrvatske, u kojima se dogodilo sučeljavanje s globalizacijom i njezinim ekonomskim i socijalnim posljedicama, temeljno je pitanje kako potaknuti ekonomski razvoj, osnažiti zapostavljene dijelove zajednice i ublažiti razlike u odnosu na razvijena područja. Poticanje i razvijanje aktivnosti u zajednici, u cilju njezina oživljavanja i uravnoteženoga razvoja, poboljšanja kvalitete života i gospodarske situacije, iako nedovoljno, nastoje provoditi tvrtke i državna vlast, lokalna uprava i samouprava te civilne inicijative i udruge.
The greatest crisis of the European Union thus far was caused by the significant migration wave from the Middle East in 2015/2016. At the beginning of the migration wave, Europeans were hospitable and accepted the unfortunate strangers. However, with the considerable increase in the number of migrants, this attitude began to change. Among particular groups of inhabitants, xenophobia and intolerance towards migrants began to flourish, which was fanned by the sporadic incidents in which the migrants participated. The unexpected refugee crisis encouraged the rise of populism and an increase in the popularity of the right political option, which began linking all problems in society with the migration question. For the strengthening of populism, an important role was played by the media, especially digital media, which became the primary communication and mobilisation platform of populists.
