A Case Study on the Power of Global Crises to Build or Divide Communities
A Case Study on the Power of Global Crises to Build or Divide Communities

Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of this study, as Tepavcevic indicates, is the impact of the collapses of the former Soviet Union and former Yugoslavia on migration trajectories of their population and their resilience in consecutive global crises. Among these successive world catastrophes are the fall of the Socialist bloc, the global financial crisis, the COVID-19 epidemic, and the conflict in Ukraine. Because of these processes and socio-economic breaks, post-Yugoslav and post-Soviet communities and individuals are often on the move. The study examines how the political, economic, and security regimes have created their resilience through migration and the migrant experience. This book aims to reveal the relationships between global crises, the challenges they generate among individuals and communities, and the patterns of resilience they produce.
