Abstract

Objekt istraživanja ovog rada su imigranti koji kontinuirano zadnjih pedesetak godina stižu na europsko tlo u potrazi za boljim životom. Naglasak će biti na imigrantima koji su pristigli zbog nedavnih ratnih zbivanja na području Bliskog istoka i Sjeverne Afrike, ali i šire, o njihovom prihvatu, integraciji te utjecaju na demografsku i kulturnu sliku zemalja u kojima su odlučili nastaviti svoj život. Temeljna pretpostavka je da proces multikulturalnosti negativno utječe na društveni sklad u zemljama u kojima se provodi, odnosno da je interkulturalnost primjereniji pristup izgradnji kulturno šarolikog društva kakvo se želi postići u Europi, odnosno Europskoj uniji. Pri izradi rada korišteno je dvadesetak izvornih znanstvenih radova, knjiga, članaka iz novina i interneta te su obavljena i dva intervjua. Razgovori/intervjui vođeni su s policijskim službenicima RH i Savezne Republike Njemačke koji se bave nezakonitom migracijom. Rezultati upućuju na to kako se dosadašnji oblici integracije mogu samo djelomično nadvladati modelom interkulturalnosti, koji je okrenut čovjeku, ravnopravnom dijalogu među kulturama, povezivanju komponenata tih kultura i poštovanju njihovih osobitosti. Međutim, kako se ne bi ugrozio integritet društva imigracijom potrebno bi bilo ispuniti i druge važne uvjete. Oni pak podrazumijevaju ipak nužno elemente asimilacije, melting pot-a i multikulturalnosti.

Abstract (english)

The object of this research are immigrants who have been coming to Europe for the last fifty years. They want to find better living conditions then they have in their native countries. But here the focus is on immigrants coming from the war struck areas such as the Middle East, North Africa and some other countries. The research deals with their acceptance, integration and their influence on demographic and cultural picture of the countries where they decided to settle. The basic thesis is that the multicultural process has a negative effect on social cohesion in receptive areas. Thus, intercultural approach is a more appropriate way to make culturally diverse society that is desirable in the European Union. This research is based on around twenty original scientific articles, books, newspaper articles and Internet texts have been used. The research also included interviews with the Croatian and German police officers who deal with illegal immigration. The findings of this research are that the intercultural model by itself can partly solve the problem. Some other conditions should also be introduced in order not to endanger the integrity of the host country. They are some elements of assimilation, melting pot and multicultural society.
