Abstract

The profound political and economic changes in Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs) which began in the late 1980s, and now enter a new phase with the prospect of EU enlargement for some ten CEECs, had a deep impact on mobility and migration patterns both within CEECs and to (and from) Western Europe. This was partly due to the liberalization of migration regimes or, more broadly, the liberalization of population control mechanisms in those countries. But it was sometimes also connected to political and/or ethnic strife during the immediate transition period and concomitant refugee flows. Together, these changes have led to quite significant population movements.
