This book explores trends in migration from Bulgaria to Switzerland
since Bulgaria joined the European Union (EU) in 2007. Due to
several unique factors, this in-depth case study provides a basis
for understanding transnational migration in a wider European
context. Bulgarians represent a fairly small community within
Switzerland, and are quite scattered throughout the country. They
come from various regions in Bulgaria with very different
socio-economic profile. In Switzerland, apart from differences in
linguistic regions and the federal system, there are significant
regional disparities, providing a variety of contexts for exploring
this transnational migration, causes and consequences. The first
part of the book analyses who migrates and why, addressing regional
disparities within Bulgaria. The text explores the impact of
economic differences, educational background, and other factors
that play into immigrants' motivations to move. The next part of
the book examines different migratory movements and transnational
practices between Switzerland, Bulgaria, and other destination
countries for Bulgarian immigrants. It addresses larger
socioeconomic shifts and resulting impacts at individual,
household, community, and national levels. Finally, the book
assesses all of these factors within the context of shifting
immigration policies. This work draws on mixed-method empirical
research conducted in both countries over a three-year period,
analysed within four major frameworks: transnationalism and migrant
networks, social inequality, regional disparities and development,
and immigration policies. The results will be of interest for
researchers working in a variety of social science fields,
including anthropology, geography, sociology, social psychology,
law, public policy, political science, international studies,
demography and exploring issues related to migration and
development, social and regional disparities, inequality,
employment, social networks, social identity and others.
