The present contribution deals above all with analysing the situation within the population of Slovenes who after the year 1990 returned to Slovenia from Argentina. In the forefront are questions connected with principal goals and purpose of the research on returning and reintegration of Slovenes after their return from abroad. The research was focused on identifying and studying difficulties that individuals confront with when returning to Slovenia. The aims of the research were to detect (system) causes of those difficulties and to classify suggestions for solving or annulling them. Another field the research was focused on was a presentation of the immigrants’ perception of the attitude of the Slovene state towards returnees and their descendants. The intention was to elaborate suggestions for preparing an appropriate model of reintegration policy of the state of Slovenia in relation to Slovenes across the world who are returning home, and their descendants (immigrants).
The goals of the research present a red thread of the contribution, which is divided into problem fields that follow the very process of transmigration as experienced by our collocutors. Thus, we first meet with an analysis of circumstances during the move; follow other fields as arranging documentation, residential problematic, employment, education, social contacts and quality of life. In the end, the contribution acquaints us with solutions as seen by our collocutors. The contribution concludes with a final statement that for conducting active policy in the field of returnship it is in the first place necessary politicians publicly declare and decide the returning of Slovenes from abroad is in the interest of the state. A grounded standpoint is expected on why the returning of citizens home or obviating intensive emigration (for example brain drain) is in the interest of this state. Only such positions would enable the formation of active policy and system adjustment.Pričujoči prispevek se ukvarja predvsem z analizo situacije pri populaciji Slovencev, ki so se po letu 1990 vrnili v Slovenijo iz Argentine. V ospredju so vprašanja, povezana z glavnimi cilji in namenom raziskave o vračanju in reintegraciji Slovencev po povratku iz tujine. Raziskava je bila usmerjena v evidentiranje in proučevanje težav, s katerimi se morajo posamezniki soočati ob vračanju v Slovenijo. Cilja raziskave sta bila odkriti (sistemske) vzroke teh težav in razdelati predloge za njihovo reševanje ali odpravljanje. Drugo področje, v katero je študija usmerjena, je predstaviti, kako priseljenci percepirajo odnos slovenske države do povratnikov in njihovih potomcev. Namen je bil izdelati predloge za pripravo ustreznejšega modela reintegracijske politike države Slovenije v odnosu do Slovencev po svetu, ki se vračajo domov, in njihovih potomcev (priseljencev).
Cilji raziskave predstavljajo rdečo nit pričujočega prispevka, ki se deli v problemska področja in sledijo samemu procesu preselitve kot so jo doživeli naši sogovorniki. Tako se najprej srečamo z analizo razmer ob sami preselitvi, temu pa sledijo druga področja, kot so urejanje dokumentacije, stanovanjska problematika, zaposlovanje, izobraževanje, socialni stiki in kakovost življenja. Na koncu nas prispevek seznani z rešitvami, kot jih vidijo naši sogovorniki. Prispevek se izteče v sklepno ugotovitev, da je za vodenje aktivne politike na področju povratništva najprej potrebno, da se politiki javno izjasnijo in odločijo, da je vračanje Slovencev, ki živijo po svetu, v interesu same države. Pri tem se pričakuje utemeljeno stališče, zakaj je vračanje državljanov domov ali preprečevanje intenzivnega izseljevanja (npr. beg možganov) v interesu te države. Šele takšna stališča bi omogočila oblikovanje aktivne politike in sistemske prilagoditve
