“…However, when analysing 'brain drain' through educational differences among emigrants and those who stayed put, Estonian migration scholars came to the conclusion that there was no significant brain drain after the EU enlargement. 48 Differences, however, have been found in relation to return migration intentions and integration levels in the host countries; ethnic Russians tend to express lower return migration intentions compared to ethnic Estonians. 49 Similar trends have been found also in Latvia.…”

Balkans and Baltics: On Migration as a Factor of Regional Peripheralization

In this paper I propose a critical comparative reflection on migration as a factor of peripheralization processes in the Western Balkan and Baltic regions. In their respective geographical positions, the Western Balkans and the Baltics stand at different ends of the European map: south-east and north-east. Regarding their historical and political positions, however, these are very diverse: the Western Balkans were part of Yugoslavia (except Albania) while the Baltic republics (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) were annexed to the Soviet Union after the Second World War. Currently, two Western Balkan countries -Slovenia and Croatia -are already members of the European Union, as the three Baltic countries are, while the rest of Western Balkans are not. I argue that apart from economic and geographical factors, usually taken into account in describing peripheries and cores, migration processes and discourses powerfully construct some places as dynamically moving towards a 'core' while others remain confined to a 'periphery'. By paying special attention to 'scientific discourses', I aim to broaden our understanding of theories and practices of peripheralization, where migration tends to be under-theorized.

“…Research conducted during this period has the advantage of bringing to the fore real and current cases. Anniste et al (2012) conducted a case study focused on emigration from Estonia, but their results reveal a low level of brain drain migration from Estonia to Western Europe after 2004 when the country joined EU. Instead, Nicholas P. Glytsos (2010), analyzing the case of Bulgaria and Albania, found that these countries were marked to a great extent by substantial volumes of highly educated population leaving the country.…”

The article is focused on the image of migration that Romanian academics transmit through the invisible curricula of the universities. These opinions are bound to become vectors of the future behaviour of graduates and legitimate a certain approach to brain drain. The goal of the research was to find how opinions and intentions on migration changed between 2000 and 2013 and what possible explanations can be found for these changes. The analysed data were collected in two sample surveys, one conducted in 2000 and another one in 2013. The results clearly show that there is an impressive change in the interest of Romanian academics to emigrate. Information and personal experience on migration and international mobility have become pervasive in the higher education system. Migration as a mirage, as a temptation not fully understood, does not exist anymore in Romanian higher education.
