Many authors discuss and analyze how people perceive immigration and the issues related to them. However, we know very little about what young citizens, members of generation Z, think about refugees and immigrants. The paper addresses this gap in the literature and analyzes how young citizens perceive immigrants and refugees that arrive in Romania. It uses Romania as a single-case study and semi-structured interviews conducted in September 2022-October 2022 with young citizens coming from different socio-demographic profiles, to explain the variation in how they perceive the recent Ukrainian refugees and other immigrants. The main purpose is to explain the perceptions variation related to the current crisis generated by Russian Federation. The findings indicate that young citizens\u2019 perceptions are influenced by a combination of general attitudes toward the political system and society, education, and specific attitudes about potential external threats.<\/em><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Keywords:<\/strong><\/td><td>Generation Z; Ukraine; Refugees; Perceptions<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Contact details of the authors:<\/strong><\/td><td>E-mail: raluca.lutai@ubbcluj.ro (1) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; marius.grad@ubbcluj.ro (2)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Institutional affiliation of the authors:<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Babe<\/strong><strong>\u0219 Bolyai University<\/strong> <strong>Department of International Studies and Contemporary History<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Institutions address:<\/strong><\/td><td>Mihail Kogalniceanu street, no. 1, room 307, Cluj Napoca, Romania &nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/magazines.ulbsibiu.ro\/studiasecuritatis\/wp-content\/uploads\/Studia-Securitatis-No.-2-2022-277-289.pdf\">Studia-Securitatis-No.-2-2022-277-289<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/magazines.ulbsibiu.ro\/studiasecuritatis\/wp-content\/uploads\/Studia-Securitatis-No.-2-2022-277-289.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raluca LU\u021aAI (1) Babe\u0219-Bolyai University Marius GRAD (2) Babe\u0219-Bolyai University<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[31],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/magazines.ulbsibiu.ro\/studiasecuritatis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/magazines.ulbsibiu.ro\/studiasecuritatis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/magazines.ulbsibiu.ro\/studiasecuritatis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magazines.ulbsibiu.ro\/studiasecuritatis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magazines.ulbsibiu.ro\/studiasecuritatis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=638"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/magazines.ulbsibiu.ro\/studiasecuritatis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":690,"href":"https:\/\/magazines.ulbsibiu.ro\/studiasecuritatis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/638\/revisions\/690"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/magazines.ulbsibiu.ro\/studiasecuritatis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=638"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magazines.ulbsibiu.ro\/studiasecuritatis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=638"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magazines.ulbsibiu.ro\/studiasecuritatis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=638"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
