WP-19-2009: Migration system formation and decline: a theoretical inquiry into the self-perpetuating and self-undermining dynamics of migration processes
By Hein de Haas
By drawing on various strands of the migration literature and by applying insights from the critical social capital literature, this paper proposes a comprehensive conceptual framework on the internal dynamics of migration processes by elaborating a set of hypotheses on the various migration-facilitating and migration-undermining feedback mechanisms at play at the various trajectories and stages of migration system formation and decline.
