Wyjście z cienia. Polityka uchodźcza w sytuacji kryzysu

The article offers an overview of the European and Polish refugee policy before the so called refugee crisis of 2015 and the reactions to what has been defined as a critical situation . Prior to 2015 refugee policy has been carried out in the sphere of public ignorance and has not been an issue of public debate. In Poland this promoted the technocratic management and implementation of the EU policy. Stepping of the issue out of the shadows and the ensuing interest of public opinion resulted in the construction of exile as a social problem that calls for urgent policy making efforts. The dominant framing of its subject matter for the emergent Polish refugee policy has been security, while humanitarian concerns has been backgrounded. Stepping out of the ignorance sphere facilitated active reform, yet it also made some policy subject matter features to fall into the sphere of ignorance.
