Summary
Migration movements in the Slovenian ethnic area in northeastern
Italy in the decades after WWII

The article deals with migratory movements in the decades following the
Second World War in the settlement area of the Slovene national minority
in Italy. These movements were affected by the border issue between Italy
and Yugoslavia and by the national, political, and ideological conflicts of
the post-war period. Immigration and emigration phenomena, which in
several phases marked the border area under scrutiny influencing its so-
cial, ethnic, and political characters are presented. These migration phe-
nomena concern the Italian and Slovene political refugees who fled from
Yugoslavia, the optants who, based on the 1947 peace treaty and the 1954
London agreement, chose the Italian citizenship and left Istria and oth-
er former Italian territories that passed under Yugoslavia. The migration
policies of the Italian and Yugoslav authorities and the Allied Military
Administration, as well as the political implications of the mass settlement
of refugees and optants from Istria and Dalmatia in Trieste, are discussed.
The role and influence of the Slovene anti-communist political emigration
in the Slovene national community in the political and cultural field are
presented.

As pertains the emigration processes, the emphasis is on two mass
phenomena. The first is the departure of about 15,000 to 20,000 people
from the Trieste area to Australia in the years following the dissolution of
the Free Territory of Trieste (1954). This emigration emerged as a reaction
to the economic and housing crisis and was fuelled by the protracted polit-
ical conflict and a sense of frustration and mistrust towards the Italian state
