The european refugee and migrant crisis and Slovenian response
Journal Title: European Journal of Geopolitics - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue
Abstract
The article deals with the geopolitical interpretations of the causes, geographical size and variability of the migration wave from the areas of the Arab-Islamic arc to Europe after 2013, which occurred after world-economic crisis (2008 onwards) and at the time of new strategic escalation with Russia. Within a few years the number of those immigrants (including refugees) exceeded the number of 5 million. The refugee crisis has become a European problem because of the sequences of decisions, that increased the volume of migration wave, it intertwined with the economic motives of migration, giving up control and underestimated the negative economic and cultural effects. The exile has become a tool of political pressure both within European countries and outside them. The second part is analyzing the Slovene response to the immigration influx. Slovenia was primarily a follower of Europe's migration policies
