Exploring 12 Migration Corridors: Rationale, Methodology and Overview
Chapter
Abstract
The team of researchers whose work is presented in this book set out to study ‘the evolution of European migration systems’. But it is not possible to observe, measure or interview a migration system. In fact, as noted in the Introduction, the concept was shrouded with doubts and misgivings, even within the research team, and it seemed an elusive candidate for empirical research. The idea of migration systems nevertheless served us well as a guiding star, impelling us to identify the researchable mechanisms that might produce such systems, develop them or cause them to stagnate. The initial challenge was to determine from whom we could collect data in a way that was theoretically meaningful and methodologically feasible. Equally important what could we ask people about in qualitative interviews and surveys that would shed light on our overarching questions about migration systems and expose the workings of feedback mechanisms?
