Presentation November 2019

Workshop: Integration in a Transnational World: Poland, Scotland and Polish Communities Abroad, 14 November 2019, University of Glasgow

This presentation addresses the impact of a kin-state’s engagement upon the accommodation of its co-ethnics abroad as minority ethnocultural groups. With a focus on Poland’s kin-state policies, it questions the nature and limits of such engagement as responsibility for justice. This presentation draws upon the article of Andreea Udrea and David Smith ‘Minority Protection and Kin-state Engagement: The Act on the Polish Card in a Comparative Perspective’, which represents our contribution to the project ‘Poland’s Kin-state Policies: Opportunities and Challenges’ (University of Glasgow, 2018-2020), and  previous research on identity recognition as a kin-state’s duty. 

The full programme is available to view.
