Contemporary migration processes - a psychosocial perspective
The continued growth of international migrations is one of the fundamental challenges for worldwide social, political and economic systems today. It is well known, that more than a hundred million immigrants, refugees with asylum and immigrant workers live outside their native countries. This number is expected to grow even faster in the twenty-first century than in the twentieth. This process is mostly caused by poverty, wars, political persecutions, ecological catastrophes, and the like. Therefore, it is no coincidence that the subject of migration is at the very centre of international discussions about our planet's future. The specific reason for this is that the main migratory directions are from third-world countries towards industrial and post-industrial societies. In other words, from a cultural perspective, from countries with more developed collectivist cultures towards countries with more developed individualist cultures. However, for some time, attention has not been paid to cultural differences between immigrant societies and migrant minorities in comparison to political and economic aspects. Cultural studies only began to receive greater attention when it became clear that intercultural differences were among the main causes of interethnic tensions that often threaten with major consequences and that intercultural tolerance is a necessary precondition for future integration processes. Nowadays, the social and cultural aspects of migration seize the same amount of attention as political and economic ones.
