title: Ethnicity as a cause of migration in Eastern Europe.
abstract: "Migration within and from Eastern Europe [including Yugoslavia] has recently risen as a topic of significance on the European political agenda.  One aspect of this complex migration matrix relates to ethnic unrest. This paper examines the scale and spatial ramifications of this movement.... An attempt is made to divide the ethnic quilt of Eastern Europe into those countries with few such problems and those with many.  It is possible then to define areas of active migration (hot spots) from those of potential migration ([flammable] spots) based on predictions from the current situation."
