Such an instrumentalization of migration is widespread in all post-Soviet republics. (Geo-)political games around migration issues are also a mechanism of foreign influence and a method of destabilization across the former USSR as well as an apology for slowing down reforms and even for transforming their character or vector. The ruling elites of the newly independent states exploit, with different degrees of intensity and success, institutions and rules of migration laws, including the granting of citizenship, asylum, temporary and permanent residence authorization, etc., in order to advance certain foreign and domestic policies. The directions of various post-Soviet nations? migration policies?be they pro-European, pro-Asian, or pro-Russian?are informed less by a pursuit of cultural, historical, or economic advantages for the respective countries and their populations than by the dynamics of geopolitical rivalry and often by the principle ?either an ally or a rival; there is no middle ground.? This fascinating volume explains why shifts in migration management in the post-Soviet countries are both causes for and consequences of political changes that influence foreign and domestic policy making. 410 0$aSoviet and post-Soviet politics and society ;$v212. 606 $aMigration 606 $aPost-Soviet 606 $apolitics 606 $aPolitik 606 $aSowjetunion 606 $aOsteuropa 606 $aRussland 615 4$aMigration 615 4$aPost-Soviet 615 4$apolitics 615 4$aPolitik 615 4$aSowjetunion 615 4$aOsteuropa 615 4$aRussland 676 $a304.80947 700 $aGulina$b Olga R$cDr.$4aut$01723598 702 $aUmland$b Andreas$4edt 702 $aMui?nieks$b Nils$4aui 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973463303321 996 $aMigration as a (geo-)political challenge in the post-Soviet space$94124989 997 $aUNINA
