“…Study 2 focused on symbolic aggression against Syrian refugees since the majority of Poles do not have a positive opinion of Syrian refugees [ 41 ]. Syrian refugees are perceived as a threat to social cohesion and economic resources [ 42 ] and rejected [ 43 ].…”

We investigated whether collective narcissism (i.e., believing that the in-group is exceptional but insufficiently recognized by others) and in-group satisfaction (i.e., believing that the in-group is a source of satisfaction) have opposite, unique associations with intergroup aggression via belief in the hedonistic function of revenge (i.e., an expectation of emotional reward from harming others in response to feeling oneself harmed). Results of two studies conducted in Poland (N = 675) found that collective narcissism is positively related to belief in the hedonistic function of revenge, whereas in-group satisfaction is negatively related, and both are related to intergroup aggression. These relationships were found only when the overlap between collective narcissism and in-group satisfaction was partialled out. The results shed a new light on the mechanisms linking in-group positivity to out-group derogation, and highlight the importance of investigating revenge motivations in the intergroup relations.

“…It occurs mainly in social work studies (Mosley 2010;MacIndoe and Whalen 2013;De Corte et al 2021). In recent years, specifically with the involvement of NGOs assisting immigrants in PA, the topic has occurred in several researches (Ambrosini 2013;Chin 2018;Follis 2019;Trei 2021;Calderon et al 2021); however, none of them delved very deeply into the question of legitimacy and accountability associated with this activity. Ambrosini (2013) explored the motivations, strategies, coalitions, and outcomes of the activities of two specific Italian NGOs.…”

“…Chin (2018) similarly focused on the questions of motivations, strategies and alliances of a specific NGO's coalition activity in New York City. Follis (2019) analyzed the relationship between the Law and Justice party ruling in Poland (refusing refugees) and civil society organizations advocating for refugees' rights. Trei (2021) attempted to explain the involvement of Estonian NGOs in asylum policy decision making on the national level.…”

The article addresses the involvement of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) assisting immigrants in policy advocacy (PA) connecting the perspectives of political science and social work. In a context in which many politicians and a major part of society opposes immigration, it examines how NGOs perceive their legitimacy and accountability concerning their attempts to influence policymaking. It also studies how the attitude of the society towards these NGOs affects their work. The analysis builds on the multimethod research combining qualitative and quantitative approaches carried out among Czech NGOs. Among the key findings is that, when talking about legitimacy, NGOs’ representatives refer mainly to themselves and their own vision of society. This is however a manifestation of internalized external legitimacy sources such as democratic principles and existing laws, together with experience and direct contact with clients, as well as moral obligations. As for accountability, despite many people identify these NGOs as irresponsible welcomers, in fact most of them feel accountable primarily to society (in particular its weakest parts), then to immigrants and finally to themselves. The negative attitude of the majority toward these NGOs clearly affects their PA activities, e.g., their access to authorities, the raised topics and applied tools or types of arguments.

“…While discourses vary, the framing is often similar: aid is understood as a substitute for the right of asylum by focusing on economic migrants rather than on refugees. Rather than welcoming refugees, PRP frame aid “at the source” (Follis, 2019, p. 2) as a more enlightened approach.

Peacebuilding conditionalities: An alternative to migration conditionalities for European Union development policy

Summary Motivation The European Union (EU) has securitized its development policy with migration conditionalities, resulting in the subordination of development objectives to the externalization of migration control. This has called into question the legitimacy and effectiveness of EU development policy while failing to provide a solution that prevents future refugee crises. How can these trends be reversed? Purpose This article examines the feasibility and implications of peacebuilding conditionalities as an alternative to migration conditionalities with the aim of addressing the root causes of refugee crises, ensuring the effectiveness of EU development policy, and preserving its legitimacy. Methods and approach The article outlines a theoretical framework to categorize development policy conditionalities and better understand their strengths and weaknesses. This is followed by an analysis of the EU’s financial, legal, and electoral framework in order to evaluate peacebuilding conditionalities as an alternative policy option. Findings Peacebuilding conditionalities limit the ability of donor countries to influence migration behaviour while promoting capacity development by ensuring stability in migrants’ countries of origin. Replacing migration conditionalities with peacebuilding conditionalities is a feasible policy option in the current EU framework that can help prevent future refugee crises while encouraging synergy between Member States in development co‐operation—a promising policy area for European integration. Policy implications Peacebuilding conditionalities for development co‐operation would constitute a legitimate, effective, and integrating alternative to migration conditionalities at a time of crisis for the European project. With the prospect of a ceasefire in Libya, this would be especially suitable for a post‐conflict scenario.
