A Call for a Unified Theoretical Approach to the Study of Migration: Network Analysis of International Migration Systems

Abstract

The field of migration studies has long suffered from a weak theoretical base upon which to ground its work.
This article proposes a new theoretical approach – network analysis of international migration systems
– to serve as a unifying theory for the study of migration. This new approach seeks to combine the best
elements of the compatible approaches of network theory and the migration systems. This will also allow
scholars to engage in theoretically informed concept formation and variable identification, allowing for an
interdisciplinary cumulation of knowledge, thereby allowing scholars to predict future migration flows and
assist in making meaningful migration policy.

Göç Çalışmaları İçin Birleşik Teorik Yaklaşım Önerisi: Uluslararası Göç Sistemlerinin Ağ Analizi

Abstract

Göç çalışmaları alanı, uzun süre boyunca, zayıf bir teorik temele sahip oldu. Bu makale, göç çalışmalarında
birleştirici teori işlevi görmesi amacıyla, uluslararası göç sistemlerinin ağ analizi adında yeni bir teorik yaklaşım
önermektedir. Bu yaklaşım, ağ teorisi ve göç sistemlerinin en iyi unsurlarını birleştirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yeni
teori, araştırmacılara, uygun kavramları geliştirme ve değişkenleri belirleme fırsatı sağlayacak, aynı zamanda
disiplinlerarası bilgi birikimine fırsat tanıyacaktır. Yeni yaklaşım sayesinde, aynı zamanda, gelecekteki göç
dalgaları tahmin edilebilecek ve anlamlı göç politikaları oluşturulmasına yardımcı olunacaktır.
