title: International migration in the Czech Republic and Slovakia and the outlook for East Central Europe.
abstract: This article "is devoted to the international migration issue in the Czech Republic and Slovakia (Czechoslovakia).  Besides the contemporary trends, the international migration situation is briefly traced back to the communist era.  The probable future scenario of international migration development--based especially on migration patterns that Western Europe has experienced--is also sketched, whilst mainly economic, social, political, demographic, psychological and geographical aspects are mentioned."  Some consideration is also given to other countries in Eastern Europe.  The different types of migration are analyzed, including illegal migration, labor migration, and refugees and asylum seekers.
