Ráchel Surányi and Endre Sik compare Hungary and Poland in terms of xenophobia, showing that its level is, and likely to remain, higher in Hungary due to the continuous anti-refugee government propaganda campaign and a mix of political, historical and cultural effects.

Analysis of Tamás Varga, Zsófia Rakovics and Endre Sik indicates that Hungarian pro-government media altered the emotional framing of refugees directly after the Russian–Ukrainian war outbreak; however, longitudinal patterns reveal reversion to pre-existing framing practices.

Endre Sik and Péter Krekó explain the role of the moral panic button (MPB) in creating crisis- and fear-mongering campaigns, arguing that it is crucial in building the Hungarian version of informational autocracy (IA). Link: bit.ly/4brCAyN

Have a look at temporary protection in the #US. Inlender sees the US schemes such as Uniting for Ukraine (U4U) to be a crucial mechanism in the face of a declining Refugee Convention, however, with the risk of subjectivity, solitariness and instability: bit.ly/4nlf7C9

Amna Shafqat: the access to higher education for refugees is constrained by lack of contacts and integrative activities with society in #Czechia while the state has no measures, schemes or strategies to support the asylum beneficiaries in that matter. Link bit.ly/4lgLpwG
