The Volume and Dynamics of International Migration provides a
theoretical account of the causes, nature, and extent of the
movement of international South-North migrants between affluent and
poorer countries. The puzzle is: why are there so few international
migrants out of most places? And why are there so many out of so
few places? Only once migration out of a few places has started, do
we see relatively more people moving. Mass mobility proceeds only
when migrant networks turn local assets into transnational ones.
The book also examines the reasons why many immigrants continue to
keep ties to their places of origin, and why these ties do not
hinder the adaptation of newcomers to immigration countries. These
ties span immigration and emigration countries and form
transnational social spaces, ranging from border-crossing families
to refuges diasporas. Transnational social formations carry
far-reaching implications for immigration adaptation, dual
citizenship, and transnationalizing civil societites. The author
provides an empirical grounding for his arguments by analysing the
Turkish-German example.
