O knihe

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the multifaceted factors that contributed to Lithuania's hostile stance towards immigrants, as exemplified by the country's response to the 2021 border crisis with Belarus. By examining the complex interplay of political, social, cultural, and historical factors, this research seeks to understand the unique characteristics of Lithuania's anti-migrant sentiment within the broader context of post-Soviet and Eastern European states, as well as emerging global trends in xenophobia. The analysis draws upon a diverse range of theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence to explore the explanatory factors behind Lithuania's hostile reception of migrants, providing a nuanced understanding of the country's experiences and the broader implications for migration policy in the region.
