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"
