Lost in EU paradise - Refugee Crises

The current EU refugee crises represents a security-wise priority issue for the international community, their foreign politics and policies. The scientific community however, dwells upon the question of how to deal with the issue and provide a viable solution to EU policy mak-ers in order for them to sustain and control the influx of unwanted fo-reigners into their countries. This paper therefore takes a different approach and analyses of the phenomena of refuge through an inter- disciplinary lenses of sociology, anthropology and geopolitics. In line with the critical theory explanatory framework which enables better understanding of the initial causes, rather then effects of the current EU refugee crises, this paper is based on the researched case of turbu-lent differences between receiving countries of the so called “Balkan Route” as well as prior Croatian Defense War country experiences. The main result is a more sophisticated (factography based) compari-son line of inquiry which questions the neoliberal platform of basic conditions (reference based) and scientific efforts that are under con-stant pressure to deliver a new purpose-built vocabulary for EU im-migration policies. The scientific inquiry in this paper therefore rests upon refugee’s cultural traits that could better explain what, and more importantly, why current migrants are determined to reach and live in EU.
