移民行动对跨国空间社会网络的依赖——对浙南移民在欧洲族裔聚集区的考察

Migrants' Actions Reliance on the Social Network in Transnational Space——Examining Ethnic Enclaves in Europe by Chinese Migrants from South Zhejiang

论文研究了浙南侨乡移民持续迁徙行为的动因、浙南移民移入地就业和创业的有限选择等问题。认为移民社会网络是指由浙南侨乡与欧洲的浙南移民族裔聚集区共同构筑的跨国空间网络。通过移民社会网络所动员和配置的资源,侨乡居民完成移民的过程,并在族裔聚集区站稳脚跟。移民行动者无论是在侨乡做出迁徙决策,还是在移入地就业或创业,都高度依赖移民社会网络所提供的路径和模式。同时,移民行为也被限制在与网络资源水平匹配的有限选择中。

This paper examines the motives of migration among the people from the Qiaoxiang in South Zhejiang and the issues about their limited opportunities of job seeking and entrepreneurship. In this paper, the social network of migrants refers to the transnational network between the Qiaoxiang in South Zhejiang and the South Zhejiang migrant enclaves in Europe. By mobilizing and reallocating the resources through the social network, Qiaoxiang migrants achieved the process of migration to Europe and establish themselves in the local ethnic enclaves. For them, both migration decisions and career choices are highly relied upon the existing channel and social network. Meanwhile, migrants are only able to utilize the resources provided by the existing network. Their choices are limited.
