“…The fact that more authoritarian respondents express greater distance only towards the group of undesirable immigrants suggests that the latter group, towards which the greatest social distance is expressed, is perceived as a significant realistic and/or symbolic threat. Namely, according to the assumption of the theory of authoritarian dynamics (Stenner 2005), the difference in intolerance between authoritarian and non-authoritarian individuals occur only in situations of normative threat. In such a situation, actors with authoritarian predispositions react with increased intolerance towards those they hold responsible for this threat.…”

Increased migration and the effects of the 2015/16 European migration/refugee crisis are reflected in changes in the attitudes towards migrants and members of certain religions. Law students, who are thought to come into contact with the issue of migration in their work, are of greater concern. This paper presents the results of a survey conducted in 2019 among 1st and 4th year law students at four law schools in Croatia. The study aims to determine how close a relationship (on Bogardus’ social distance scale) law students would achieve with the various types of migrants, Roma, and members of different religions. The results show that law students are likely to have the closest relationship with immigrants from North America and Western European countries and express the greatest average distance towards asylum seekers. They associate the greatest social closeness with Catholics. The analyses of the effects of sociodemographic characteristics, contextual indicators, and value orientations and attitudes on social distance imply that nationalism has the strongest effect on all groups.

“…As mentioned, since it was first defined about 30 years ago, the V4 group has been subjected to many analyses aimed primarily at tracing the economic transformation in general (e.g., Ambroziak et al 2020;Błaszczyk 2022) and in selected aspects such as catching up in terms of GDP (e.g., Lengyel and Kotosz 2018), innovation (e.g., Dworak and Grzelak 2018;Jabłońska 2020), competitiveness and shaping comparative advantages (e.g., Molendowski 2021), and sustainability (e.g., bio-based production, Lazorcakova et al 2022). The V4 is also subject to research on political issues (e.g., Zapletalová and Komínková 2020; Strnad 2022). Those analyses, apart from the pure macroeconomic studies, were carried out at the regional (Lengyel and Kotosz 2018) or branch level (Jabłońska 2020).…”

We present a comparative study of flows between institutional sectors in the economies of Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, with particular emphasis on the role of the foreign sector. The purpose of our study is to determine the strength and nature of inter‑sectoral ties in the analyzed countries and point out the similarities and differences between them. The research method is based on the sequence of all transactions included in the System of National Accounts (SNA): product transactions, primary income generation and allocation, income distribution, and financial instrument transactions. The study is distinguished by its consistency and balance within the SNA. The method used to transform data into a payer‑payee matrix guarantees the preservation of these properties. It creates a new perspective for assessing the sensitivity of economies to external processes. It is the first such comprehensive comparative study, providing unambiguous and replicable results based on a standardized accounting system that operates in all European countries. The period covered by the study (2000–2020) allows us to draw interesting conclusions about the processes that took place during and after the accession to the European Union. The results indicate, inter alia, an increase in the involvement of the foreign sector, primarily in production processes (import, export) and investment. Particularly noteworthy is the high degree of financialization of the Hungarian economy.

“…Later studies by Csányi (2020) and Frelak (2017) offer a comparative analysis of the positions of individual V4 states on the EU migration and asylum agenda. The topic of migration and asylum in the EU has also become an integral part of the contributions dealing with selected aspects of the functionality of the V4 as a mini-lateral grouping in the European Union (Strnad 2022). Probably the most extensive category of scientific literature dealing with the V4 in the context of EU migration and asylum agenda after 2015 is publications analyzing social, historical, political and other developments that influenced national positions on proposed European solutions to solidarity and cooperation and the long-intended reform of EU Migration and Asylum policy.…”

The Migration Strategies and Positions on the Eu Migration and Asylum Agenda: Evidence From the Visegrad Group Countries

At the time of the outbreak of the migration crisis in Europe, the Visegrad Group gained the status of the EU troublemaker due to its opposition to the solidarity and cohesion mechanisms adopted on the European level. The migration strategies (not only) of the individual states of the grouping proved insufficient and unfeasible in times of crisis. However, in the case of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and the Slovak Republic, the absence of national mechanisms and solutions was partially replaced after 2015 by joint declarations and statements rejecting active cooperation in resolving migration and asylum pressures within the EU Single Market. Despite failing to manage migratory pressures since 2015, four Central European countries have not learned their lessons and will face unprecedented crises in 2022 again. This time, however, Visegrad countries became the first-line countries affected by the refugee crisis. The migration and asylum agenda is thus becoming an extremely complex problem within the Visegrad Group region due to the initially intense politicization of the topic by the government elites in individual states. The paper analyses the migration strategies of individual states and the migration and asylum management-related positions after the migration crisis in 2015 and the sequence of events associated with the outbreak of armed conflict in Ukraine in early 2022.
