The migration threat without migrants: the case of Poland

Master thesis | International Relations (MA)
The thesis seeks to answer the question of the reasons for the fear of Muslim immigrants, observable within the Polish society since 2015 migration crisis, despite the relatively low percentage of migrants approaching the country. The author applies Arjun Appadurai's theory of the fear of small numbers and examines rhetoric of the crucial entities of the country, such as political parties, media and church, in order to analyse the changing attitude of the society, presented in national polls and voting.
