The centrality of international migration as a process articulating
major transformations of contemporary societies offers an
opportunity to make it the shared component of the theoretical and
research agendas of the social science disciplines. In this volume
a multidisciplinary team of authors presents a stocktaking account
of current research on international migration in order to lay the
ground for such an interdisciplinary collaboration. The first part
of the book scrutinizes the theoretical concepts and interpretative
frameworks that inform migration research and their impact on
empirical studies in selected disciplines. The next two sections
examine the epistemological premises underlying migration research
in different fields of the social sciences and the challenges of
'informed translations' between these approaches. The final section
considers the interdependency between the academic study of
migration and the social and political contexts in which it is
embedded. The book invites researchers to address the challenges
raised by the empowerment of migration research, offering ways of
communicating across different specializations and guiding readers
towards a meaningful interdisciplinarity.
