Savremene radne migracije u evropskom kontekstu - ekonomski i politički aspekti

Abstract

Migratorna kretanja stanovništva danas predstavljaju vrlo bitan demografski i društveni fenomen. Ako se imaju u vidu empirijski dokazi o porastu obima migracija, sasvim razumljiva postaje teorijska i istraživačka pažnja koja im se posvećuje. U našem fokusu biće radne migracije, jer je veliki broj migracija podstaknut upravo ekonomskim motivima. Cilj ovog rada jeste da se preispitaju najvažniji teorijski pristupi migracijama, uz poseban osvrt na Mesijevu teorijsku sintezu, ali i da se ukaže na nedovoljno naglašavanje uticaja političke i pravne dimenzije na trendove radnih migracija.

Today, migratory movements are very important demographic and social phenomenon. If we take into account the empirical evidence of increasing immigration volume and rates, the theoretical and research interest in this topic becomes understandable. This article will focus on labour migration, as it seems that a wide number of spatial movements are driven by economic motives. The aim of this paper is to examine the most important theoretical approaches, with special overview of Massey's synthesis, and to point out the lack of emphasis on political and legal dimensions in the migration processes.
