Refugees, Resources, Security, and Beyond

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

Introduction

Societies in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) confronted two major security threats in less than three years between 2020 and 2022. The Covid pandemic and the Russian–Ukrainian war posed distinct challenges. Mass epidemics, which significantly impact everyday life, can be viewed as a new phenomenon, or at least one that has not been experienced for a long time. The Spanish flu, which occurred more than a century ago, is likely the last notable event that has left a lasting impact on public understanding of the current threat and its actual management. Local elites and the public lacked clear expectations about what actions to take, having only a shared understanding of what should be avoided. Similar to a natural disaster, it was the crisis that shaped public perception and images of Covid, rather than social discourses.

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.
