The Slovak Attitudes towards Immigrants in the Context of the Current Refugee and Migration Crisis
Journal Title: Chorzowskie Studia Polityczne - Year 2015, Vol 10, Issue
Abstract
The paper focuses on the impacts that the current migration and refugee crisis has had on Slovakia. Slovakia is a country characterized by a relatively small population of immigrants and refugees. Prior to the crisis, immigration was a marginal issue in national politics. Nevertheless, Slovak reactions to the crisis were surprisingly forceful both among the general public and their political representatives. Based on available statistics and research findings, the authors try to identify the causes for the rather negative attitudes towards immigrants observed in Slovakia. The paper traces these attitudes back to historical heritage and social-psychological factors as well as to recent political developments.
