Since its publication in 2004, the IOM Glossary on Migration continues to meet its objectives in being a valuable tool for practitioners, government migration officials, students and others and has been effectively utilized in regional and international fora discussing migration issues. However, even at the time of its initial publication, we recognized that it was a first attempt, with room for improvement, revisions of definitions and additions of terms. In the Foreword to the 2004 edition, we alluded to the possibility of a subsequent, more complete, edition. We are pleased now to be able to introduce a second edition of the IOM Glossary on Migration which we consider to be more comprehensive and which takes into account invaluable input from users of the glossary. Great care has been taken in revising and adding definitions and an effort has been made to streamline definitions to ensure consistency with partner organizations who have, since IOM's publication, also issued glossaries on migration and related topics. It is IOM's hope that this improved edition will continue to move the international community toward a common language when discussing migration issues. Uniformity of usage of terms serves to greatly enhance research and statistics gathering, and the exchange of information between and among States. Mutual understanding of critical terms is therefore an important first step in achieving coordinated responses to the challenges of global migration.

Recente, la migration comorienne vers la France s'enracine dans une tradition migratoire plus ancienne orientee essentiellement vers des pays voisins de l'archipel dans l'Ocean Indien. Certaines caracteristiques demeurent inchangees et, en particulier, on observe que la Grande Comore reste l'ile d'origine d'une grande majorite de migrants. Ainsi, la migration Comores-France se revele etre plutot une migration Grand Comore-France qui prend source dans une organisation sociale originale, fondee sur l'accomplissement de la coutume du "Grand Mariage". Neanmoins, des "navigateurs" (employes sur des navires a partir de la seconde moitie du XIXe siecle) aux migrants actuels, le nouveau profil de cette population en France est faconne par le passage d'une migration temporaire, concernant des hommes seuls, a une migration plus durable, avec l'arrivee croissante des femmes et la constitution de familles.

The migration crisis of 2015 has left its mark on many EU countries. Some, such as Greece or Spain, were countries on the front line. Others, namely Germany, Great Britain, and Sweden became destination countries for many newcomers. Some, like the countries of the Visegrad Group, opposed the actions and decisions of the EU made in the face of the crisis. European solidarity has become a big question mark and we can observe a serious upsetting of the whole integration project which is, of course, up for discussion. This state of affairs consisted of the attitudes towards the crises of such countries as Poland or Hungary, where anti-mmigration and populist parties came to power, creating a vision of flexible solidarity on the European political scene. The purpose of this article is to analyse the Polish migration policy, show the direction of the changes in its construction along with the change of government and the societal reaction to strangers, as a direct result of actions taken by the ruling parties. It is mportant to understand the political, economic and social context of the changes occurring in the social consciousness and to attempt to formulate a forecast for the future.

"Der Beitrag geht einführend auf den Begriff 'Internationale Migration' und ihre verschiedenen Formen ein. Die konzeptionellen Überlegungen begreifen Migration als Prozess, der sich vereinfachend in drei Phasen gliedert: das Aufkommen der Bereitschaft und die Entscheidung zur Migration, die Suche nach einem möglichen Ziel und der Entschluss, ob und welches Haushaltsmitglied letztendlich migriert, sowie die soziale Einbindung am Zielort. Von grundlegender Bedeutung für diesen Prozess ist das mikrotheoretische Konzept des Standortnutzens, das es zugleich erlaubt, z.B. makro- und mikroökonomische Bedingungen, historisch gewachsene Verflechtungen zwischen Staaten, den sozialen Kontext im Herkunfts- wie Zielland oder bestehende Migrantennetzwerke in die Darstellung des komplexen Entscheidungsprozess einfließen zu lassen. Die Zusammenfassung ausgewählter theoretischer Ansätze zur Erklärung internationaler Migration schließt den Beitrag ab. Dabei hat das Phänomen der Transnationalität auch im Hinblick auf Handlungsempfehlungen einen übergeordneten Stellenwert inne." (Autorenreferat)
