Conceptualizing Migration: From Internal/International to Kinds of Membership

  • Chapter
International Handbook of Migration and Population Distribution

Part of the book series: International Handbooks of Population ((IHOP,volume 6))

Abstract

Current typologies of migration tend to distinguish sharply between international and internal migration. While some defend this cleavage as vital for emphasizing the politics of international migration, others view it as inhibiting the development of theory by unnecessarily privileging the nation-state as a unit of analysis. The conceptual gap between internal and international migration appears to depend on the level of analysis and context. Where migration behavior involves decisions made by individuals or households, international migration generally is explained as another form of long-distance migration. At the macro-analytic level, however, the context of migration matters. If analysts still view migration in behavioral terms or as a response to population growth or development, international migration remains an extension of long-distance migration. But when analysts emphasize migration in legal or political terms, as an outgrowth of the competition of political economies or as a function of the state’s ability to determine who qualifies for membership, international migration is viewed as differing fundamentally from internal migration. One way to clarify the argument would be to shift to a different cleavage, the distinction between authorized and unauthorized migration, as perhaps more salient to migrants now than the difference between internal and international migration. Unauthorized migration can have enormous consequences for migrants, and as the Chinese hukou system of household registration has shown, it is not confined to international movement.
