Nowadays, Eastern Europe has come back into focus, mainly because of political decisions related to the decline of democracy. It is therefore not surprising that Hungary, Poland and Romania are mentioned the most in Trandafoiu's book as well. However, it is important to point out that the author does not provide a comparative analysis of countries selected according to some criteria, but rather tries to present the migration processes affecting the region and the national responses to them as having a more general validity. [...] we find a good number of novel interpretations, less discussed matters, or connections that have not been thematized so far. It is therefore worth reading for experts dealing with the topic, but the book is primarily recommended for readers familiar with current issues related to migration in the region, and it can certainly be used excellently as a reference in university courses.
