Migrant networks

Social networks emerging among migrants are called migrant networks. Migrant networks are a consequence of migration. They refer to the social ties that connect individuals in sending and/or host contexts, and can spread locally and transnationally. For example, networks play an important role in integration processes and in driving further migration. 

Literature listed under this category includes studies on social capital, the significance of weak ties, transnationalism, gender differences in migration networks, the role of migrant networks in labour markets, and network formation during migration processes.

Bayern - Kroatien transnational: Kroatische Migrantennetzwerke in lebensgeschichtlicher Perspektive (1960er Jahre - 2009)

Principal investigator Ulf Brunnbauer (Principal Investigator)
Description
"Das Projekt ""Bayern-Kroatien transnational"" untersucht grenzüberschreitende/transnationale Netzwerke in lebensgeschichtlicher Perspektive, die ArbeitsmigrantInnen und ihre Nachkommen zwischen Bayern und ihrem Herkunftsland Kroatien geknüpft haben. An Fallbeispielen wird unter Anwendung biographischer Interviews und intergenerationeller Familiengespräche untersucht, welche transnationalen Verbindungen die ArbeitsmigrantInnen und die Zweite Generation in Bayern entwickelt und wie sich diese im Lebenszyklus und mit dem Generationswechsel verändert haben. Welche Erwartungshaltungen und Zugangsmöglichkeiten entstehen zu materiellen, symbolischen und sozialen Ressourcen aus solchen transnationalen Praktiken? Die Dynamik der transnationalen Verbindungen und Praktiken wird vor dem Hintergrund der internationalen, nationalen und regionalen Migrationssysteme untersucht, in denen sich der Prozess der Arbeitsmigration aus Kroatien nach Bayern vollzogen hat. Von besonderer Bedeutung ist dabei auch die Untersuchung der Auswirkungen der deutschen und jugoslawischen/kroatischen Migrationspolitik auf die Praktiken und Verhaltensweisen der MigrantInnen. Das Projekt wird in Kooperation mit dem Südost-Institut, Regensburg, durchgeführt"

A Comparative Study of Return Migration Policies Targeting the Highly Skilled in Four Major Sending Countries

Authors Koen JONKERS
Description
This report is an attempt to provide a provisional comparative analysis of policies implemented in China, India, Argentina, and Mexico to facilitate the return of highly skilled expatriates and their professional reintegration. These countries differ in terms of the outbound and return flows of highly skilled professionals, as well as in the timing and intensity of the programs they have implemented. In general, career or business opportunities, and hence the offer of a conducive professional and socio-economic environment are central to attracting returnees. Migrant networks, temporary and permanent return migration programs exist in various forms and, apart from having their own merits, can complement each other in facilitating the return migration process. A long term, pluralistic and systemic approach, which in parallel to offering incentives involves the removal of administrative barriers, is considered to be important in bringing back and successfully reintegrating large numbers of highly skilled expatriates.

Reintegration and development

Authors Jean-Pierre CASSARINO, Davide CALENDA, Antonella GUARNERI, ...
Description
Why do some return migrants reintegrate back home better than others? Why do patterns of reintegration vary so much? To what extent does gender impact on reintegration? Which factors shape the ability of some migrants to transfer their skills and social rights after return? Which resources (e.g. human capital, financial capital, networks and social capital) sustain returnees’ reintegration processes; and to what extent? In sum, what do we know about post-return conditions and how returnees’ aspirations, subjectivities and prospects back home can be analyzed and understood.
