The conflict in Eastern Ukraine and the European refugee crisis
have led to a dramatic increase in forced displacement across
Europe. Fleeing war and violence, millions of refugees and
internally displaced people face the social and political cultures
of the predominantly Christian Orthodox countries in the
post-Soviet space and Southeastern Europe. This book examines the
ambivalence of Orthodox churches and other religious communities,
some of which have provided support to migrants and displaced
populations while others have condemned their arrival. How have
religious communities and state institutions engaged with forced
migration? How has forced migration impacted upon religious
practices, values and political structures in the region? In which
ways do Orthodox churches promote human security in relation to
violence and 'the other'? The book explores these questions by
bringing together an international team of scholars to examine
extensive material in the former Soviet states (Ukraine, Russia,
Georgia and Belarus), Southeastern Europe (Turkey, Greece, Serbia,
Bulgaria and Romania), Western Europe and the United States.
