On the Differential Attachments of Migrants from Central and Eastern Europe: A Typology of Labour Migration

In this article we develop an empirically grounded typology of labour migration patterns among migrants from Central and Eastern Europe, based on two dimensions: attachment to the destination country and attachment to the country of origin. We conducted a survey (N=654) among labour migrants in the Netherlands from Poland, Bulgaria and Romania. We found four migration patterns in our data: (i) circular migrants (mostly seasonal workers) with weak attachments to the country of destination, (ii) bi-nationals with strong attachments to both the home country and that of destination, (iii) footloose migrants with weak attachments to both the home and the destination country, and (iv) settlers with weak attachments to the home country. Our findings demonstrate the relevance to the debate on transnationalism and integration of distinguishing different migration patterns. Successful integration in Dutch society can go hand-in-hand with ‘strong’ as well as with ‘weak’ forms of transnationalism. The bi-national pattern shows a tendency to strong transnationalism, while the settlement pattern demonstrates less transnational involvement with the country of origin.     

陕甘宁边区中央党报的民族宗教报道及其现实意义——以《新中华报》的民族宗教报道为例

陕甘宁边区紧邻西北少数民族聚居区,抗战时期,日寇企图利用历史上形成的民族隔阂挑拨回汉、蒙汉等民族关系,以达到民族分裂和以华制华的目的。在对敌斗争中,《新中华报》等中央党报认真贯彻落实党的民族宗教政策,以巩固和扩大全国抗日民族统一战线为己任,特别重视对少数民族及其宗教信仰的宣传报道工作,正本清源、廓清迷雾,及时揭露了日寇挑拨分化的政治阴谋,在对敌斗争中占据了舆论主动权,起到了良好的舆论传播效果。本文以《新中华报》对回族、蒙古族及其宗教信仰的报道为例,论述了边区中央党报民族宗教报道的成功实践及现实意义。
