Description of the research topic:
Since the period of the political transition, Hungary has been becoming more and more a central geographic area for the transnational migration and since the beginning of the migration crisis in 2015 has been playing a regional international political key role in forming the migration- and demography-policy of the V4 countries. The international migration has significant social effects on both the countries of origin and the host countries and induces deep going changes. In terms of migration, Africa deserves special attention as the last place of the global population growth where the population is exploding rapidly on. That is why Africa, due to its specific social and economic conditions, will become the main migration-emissive area for the next decades. Due to the meanwhile global character of migration, national security and public safety, amongst others prevention of organized crime and counterterrorism play an outstanding role. The successful risk-management affects the social and political processes in the member states of EU and NATO, as well as Hungary’s regional relations and international reputation. The successful risk management has among others indispensable technical and technological preconditions. The mapping and developing of the usable technological tools, particularly that of digital and AI based technical means plays an outstanding role in prevention of negative social effects.
Concept of the project:
The main intent of the project is to present and explain the history, current processes and characteristics of international migration in terms of geography, social and security policy and the regional and global political context. International mass migration flows generates significant societal changes manifesting themselves in many cases in political, ethnic and social conflicts and creating intense tensions in the social subsystems. The intercultural conflicts and the related political and social struggles deserve particular note as these that threaten to upset the social balance of both the home and host countries as experienced in the large host countries in the EU. In the field of the social risks, on the one hand particularly the activity of international criminal organizations and NGOs are noteworthy, which promote immigration, on the other hand far right violent networks which oppose immigration. To treat the immigration properly, tremendous work is needed in the field of preventing radicalization and segregation, particularly regarding the isolation of immigrants of African origin, as well as in integration of the new-comers. It is necessary to present all these tasks and solutions in which different authorities, structures of social work, crime-prevention, judicial institutions, intelligence, police and military forces are concerned. It is not less necessary to compare these concepts and methodologies in an international perspective. The international perspective is particularly important in the field of technical and technological tools, among which digital and AI (artificial intelligence) based technologies show extraordinarily high efficiency and rapid development.
Methods to be applied, the methodological notions of the research:
Gathering international data and information and progressing the relevant literature, as well as comparative analysis and empirical field research
Planned and expected new scientific results:
To acquire and systematize comprehensive and detailed knowledge as well as to achieve new research results.
