Migrants and the Hungarian Society. Dignity, Justice and Civic Integration

摘要

The aim of the research was to explore the integration, political and civicudparticipation of "third country nationals residing in Hungary" (hereafter,udimmigrants or migrants). How immigrants and Hungarian society interpret political and civic activity was examined, along with how thisudis correlated to their material, cultural and social resources (using such concepts as identity and action potential, as well as the sense of fairnessudand dignity). The samples do represent Hungarian society and thoseudpeople staying in Hungary with immigration or residence permits/ permanent residence (collectively labeled as immigrants). It should be stressed that the immigrants we studied are not refugee camp dwellers or foreigners employed illegally in Hungary. Though themselves faced with a lot of problems, the immigrants we interviewed are in a far more favorable position than refugees or aliens employed in the grey economy. This is an important fact to be remembered when reading about the research.
