Sažetak

This paper provides an ovetview of main trends in new European migration landscape. It looks at the ways they are shaped by the global trends world-wide. It provides a gender perspective of this new migration pattem and sheds light on some of migrants' coping strategies of resistance to ever more restrictive policies. Finally it reflects on some of the issues relevant for the South vs. Central/Eastern Europe comparison.
The redrawing of the map of Europe in the aftermath of the events of 1989 and the collapse of the communist regimes involved an unprecedented mobility of persons and heralded a new phase in the history of European migrations. The clear distinction between sending and receiving countries has been blurred with former sending countries emerging simultaneously as receiving, as sending and as transit areas. Furthermore, the former predominantly labour migration pattem has become highly diversified: circulators’ or shuttle/commuter migrants, refugees, “repatriates”, undocumented and trafficked migrants are some of the numerically most important categories along with the traditional labour and family migration.
The new forms of migration are no longer male dominated: the post communist transition has put on the move a great number of women .who are looking for an escape either from their new market conditions or from the newly dominant discourse of nationalist projects in their home countries or are simply attracted by the challenges of the newly acquired freedom of movement.
