World-System and International Migration: Conceptualization of Dual Relations

Summary/Abstract: World-System and International Migration: Conceptualization of Dual Relations. This article addresses three main issues: in the first instance it focuses on the scrutiny of the ideal concept of world-system theory and theory of transnational migration – two concepts which are inseparable. Secondly it discusses the potential linkages and correlations between international migration and the ideas of a key figure of world system school – American sociologist Immanuel Wallerstein. In the last case it aspires to outline working hypothesis, which emerges from development of contemporary capitalist world economy (form of global socio-economic order) as well as types of contemporary migration. For this purpose author analyses effects of hierarchical space structure and also effects of cyclical economic dynamics of world economy on contemporary migration. Article leads to a development of a new model of time-space structure, which determines forms of international migration; i.e. new nomological-deductive model of contemporary international migration.
