“…Socio-cultural and economic factors act as barriers that can hinder the utilisation of suitable and basic necessities, creating a mismatch between service needs and service utilisation. As Pap and Glied [ 48 ] noted, sometimes ”religious and cultural approaches clash with the pragmatic demands” (p. 106). Previous research underlined barriers related to missing knowledge about services, lack of access to information [ 49 ], educational attainment [ 50 ], medical care and the absence of health insurance coverage [ 51 , 52 ], and linguistic and cultural problems.…”

Traditionally a country of emigration, Romania recently experienced an increased migration influx, although it is more a country of transit than a destination for refugees and irregular migrants. Refugees often face difficulties when trying to meet their needs and access essential services. This study aims to explore the experiences and barriers of asylum seekers and people with refugee backgrounds in accessing healthcare services in Romania. It is an exploratory study with a qualitative research design, which uses an inductive and deductive approach, with thematic analysis being applied in order to grasp the difficulties and barriers that asylum seekers and people with refugee backgrounds experience in accessing essential social services. The research was based on seven in-depth interviews with representatives of significant national or international non-governmental organisations assisting refugees and asylum seekers in Romania and 129 semi-structured interviews with different categories of people with refugee backgrounds from Southwest Asia, Eastern Africa and Ukraine. One of the most salient themes we identified relates to accessing the healthcare system. Participants talked about what information they needed to access medical services, where they looked for this information, and what barriers they faced in the process. Cultural, linguistic, structural, and financial barriers were perceived as the most significant. Improved public awareness, a better understanding of asylum issues, and stronger community support are essential to addressing inequalities experienced by this vulnerable population.

“…Orbán even declared Hungary the bulwark of Europe (defensive function of Hungary) and himself the captain of a border fortress. 8 In September 2015, Orbán attended the meeting of the state legislature group of the German conservative CSU party in the Banz Abbey in Bavaria and argued that: Because of the European Union and the Schengen Agreement the borders of Bavaria can currently be protected at the external border of the Schengen Area, which is currently the southern border of Hungary (Pap & Glied, 2017).…”

“…The present-day context o ers a rich eld of analysis of border politics that seek to exploit historical memories linked to borders as well as more general questions of national identity (Oláh 2015;Pap, Glied 2017). Although no longer a normative category in terms of political geographies of borders, the concept of the Thousand Year Borders remains a powerful border narrative, both in Hungarian popular imaginations as well as -but in rather more subtle ways -in political discourse (Hajdú 2018).…”

This paper discusses ways in which Hungarian border studies have reflected processes of post-1989 transformation by moving towards a contextual perspective on diaerent border-making (bordering) processes. Traditionally, Hungarian border studies, and with them geographical conceptualizations of Hungarian state spaces, have reflected changing historical and political contexts as well as dominant scientific paradigms that have shifted with time. In the past, this has also manifested itself in varying degrees of environmental determinism and ethno-nationalism. In the contemporary context, Hungarian border studies have developed a plural, multilevel as well as critical focus that interlinks diaerent areas where borders are politically and socially relevant. As will be elaborated in the following, several conceptualisations of Hungary’s border situation have emerged that reflect: 1) new cross-border economic, political and social spaces, 2) the influence of European integration on Hungary’s politics of borders and 3) the symbolic significance of contemporary and historical borders. These concepts, which will be dealt with below, express both historical continuity as well as conceptual innovation deriving from more recent experience. Above all, the development of Hungarian border studies, particularly since 1989, is of particular significance as it manifests a shift from an ‘introverted’ perspective to a conceptualization of Hungary both as a nation-state and as a borderlands society within contemporary Europe. This contribution makes no attempt at comprehensiveness and it is, admittedly, a highly selective overview of a very rich and multidisciplinary research field. In the interest of brevity, attention will focus on only a few representative strands of investigation that, in my view, have been formative in the more recent development of Hungarian border studies.
