Abstract
AbstractThis chapter claims that there was an increase in global geographic mobility from the 1980s onwards, and this posed a challenge to population discourses as they were focusing on fertility and handled migration in an ambivalent way. All key discourses (Malthusian, demographic transition, socialist modernization, conservative, ethnic-Narodnik, revitalization, and developmentalist ones) were able to see migration as a necessity and, at the same time, could aim for strict control over it in various conflicting ways. In the specific global historical context, this discursive background was prone to change due to the global increase in migration in later periods and lead to the creation of a pro-migration, pro-opening-up, and a nationalist, anti-migrant, pro-control historical-political bloc, especially due to the decline in developmentalist critical discourse globally and in Eastern Europe.
