МИГРАНТСКЕ МРЕЖЕ: НЕЗАОБИЛАЗНА ПЕРСПЕКТИВА У ПРОУЧАВАЊУ САВРЕМЕНИХ МЕЂУНАРОДНИХ МИГРАЦИЈА
MIGRANT NETWORKS: AN IMPERATIVE PERSPECTIVE FOR STUDY OF CONTEMPORARY INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION

Summary/Abstract: Traditional theories have not raised the question of why international migration flows continue even after their initial factors ceased to have impact. The aim of the paper is to point out to the significance of studying migrations within migration systems as a basis for understanding their flows, sizes, directions and prospects for the future. Special attention in the paper, is dedicated to the identification and more detailed insight into various roles which social networks have within international migration (from immigration processes, migration perpetuations and chain migrations, to various forms of transnational activities). Having in mind that migrant networks represent a relatively new approach to studying international migration, the paper also gives a synthesis of the theoretical frameworks of research so far.
