Refugees, Resources, Security, and Beyond

Legal and Broader Impacts of the War in Ukraine on Hungary and Poland

Introduction

The European Union has recently been confronted with a series of crises, with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, violating an extensive array of international legal norms (Lamm, 2023, p. 570), being a recent illustration of this pattern. The refugee crisis of 2015 and its subsequent years-long aftermath was followed by the health crisis caused by the Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. The effects of the virus were also felt for years, and the EU had barely recovered when war broke out in its immediate neighbourhood, triggering a refugee crisis on a massive scale. In response, the European Union used a crisis management tool that had not been utilised during the 2015 refugee crisis: the provision of temporary protection, which includes the granting of residence permits to refugees fleeing Ukraine.

This volume examines the multifaceted consequences of Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, with a focus on Hungary and Poland. It offers an interdisciplinary exploration of legal, social, and political responses to the war, highlighting the refugee crisis, resource challenges, and security implications. Divided into two parts, the book first addresses the unprecedented displacement caused by the war, analysing refugee protection frameworks, humanitarian assistance, and legal solutions in Hungary and Poland, alongside the specific needs of vulnerable groups. The second part expands the scope to consider broader impacts, including technological and cultural dimensions, energy security, and public discourse in the region. By bringing together contributions from Polish and Hungarian scholars, this volume provides a comprehensive and nuanced perspective on the far-reaching effects of the war, offering critical insights into the legal and socio-political transformations shaping Central and Eastern Europe.
