The Ibaloi village of Kabayan Poblacion combines a subsistence agricultural economy with a market economy that has grown up as a result of subsequent waves of colonization.

Migrations molded Balkan societies, and were very common in multiethnic empires. In the modern era, before World War I, economic factors forced millions of people to migrate overseas, as guest workers in the 1960s and 70s, and as economic migrants thereafter. In addition, many people had to leave their homes as political refugees or as victims of ethnic cleansing. This volume, the first part of a selection of conference papers, focuses on historical and cultural aspects of migration in, from, and to Southeastern Europe.

This volume is part two of a selection of articles on migration movements in, to, and from Southeast Europe. It provides a clearer understanding of the complex migration processes, which deeply affected Balkan societies, both past and present.
