Abstract
This chapter deals with research methods, which I applied to study the impact of international migration on livelihoods. The study is based on empirical case studies from three selected rural municipalities in the Jalal–Abad Oblast of the Kyrgyz Republic. In order to follow migrants to their destination, a further empirical study was carried out in Moscow. The application of multi-sited field research and the usage of various quantitative and qualitative research methods that will be discussed below contributed to the clear understanding of the research topic and to answer the main research question of this study: “In what way does international migration influence local livelihoods?”
