摘要
国际移民一直以来是学术界的热点话题。本文在梳理以往古典移民学理论以及国际移民汇款理论的基础上,旨在对移民跨国主义及其所带来的社会影响进行探讨。文章指出,移民跨国主义的实践在不同程度地促进了移民家庭、家乡以及祖籍地区域性的发展,同时也给移民在移居国的族裔社区带来不同程度的影响。但是国际移民对于社会发展究竟产生多大或怎样的影响不能一概而论,这取决于祖籍国的社会经济制度、移居国移民/族裔社区的规模及其所拥有的各类资源的多少、移民群体中移居国的社会地位等一系列因素的互动。最后,文章从宏观、中观以及微观的层面就国际移民与社会发展提出了进一步研究的问题和设想。
International migration has been a much-studied topic in social sciences. Based on a literature review of classical and contemporary theories of international migration and research on migrant remittances, the paper focu- ses on examining how transnationalism impacts the development in sending and receiving societies. The Authors suggest that immigrant transnationalism not only promotes the development in migrant families, local communities, and larger regions in sending countries, but also has significant varied effects on immigrant/ethnic communities in receiving countries. They argue that how and how much international migration influences social development de- pend on local circumstances and institutional contexts of the sending country, the scale and strength of the ethnic community in the receiving country, the kind of resources immigrants and their community can mobilize, and the social status of the immigrant group in the receiving society. The paper concludes by raising a number of urgent questions from the macro, meso, and micro perspectives for future research.
