Viktoria Berzins: Emigrating to the Baltic States, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Since gaining independence in the early 1990s, the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have undergone a profound social, political, and economic transformation. Today, they are considered stable democracies, members of the EU, NATO, and the eurozone, as well as gateways between Western and Eastern Europe. For migrants, this opens up a space that is characterized by both cultural independence and European integration. This reference book offers a systematic and interdisciplinary examination of all relevant aspects of emigration to the Baltic states. It covers the legal framework for EU citizens and third-country nationals, labor market and economic opportunities, issues of cultural integration and social participation, and differences between the three countries. In addition, demographic and geopolitical developments are analyzed, as are future prospects for international immigration. A fundamental work for the scientific and practical examination of migration and integration in the Baltic region.
