Abstract

The text is focused on selected migration, integration and adjustment politics. Some of them were related to recent regional ethno-political ambitions.

The particular attention is paid to politics of immigration groups, who on the one hand are guided by the effort to domesticate the milieu into which they have come through migration and on the other hand to regulate the relations between the immigrant groups to which they belong and the majority population. I will argue that despite modern and postmodern migrations being considered predominantly as an individual activity based on a free choice, they are frequently strongly determined by external forces and power relations, often even more than is at first sight apparent.
