	State Effect and Well-being: Social Climate in Impressions of the Polish Migrants in Dublin

	The paper draws on an ethnographic fieldwork among the Polish migrants in Dublin who decided not to return to Poland in a predictable future. I describe the relation of a state effect and wellbeing as a sphere that can be perceived as the social climate by the transnational migrants. The imaginaries and retrospective rationalisations of experiences, feelings and memories connected to a quality of state functioning and a society’s openness / oppressiveness impressions create inter-connected space for comparisons of two realities known to the migrants who have left Poland for Ireland over a decade ago, on the eve of their economic self-responsibility, and who are currently justifying their choice to continue their living there.
