论移民管理改革背景下国际移民概念的界定

Discussion on Defining International Migrants under the Background of Migration Management Reform

随着中华人民共和国国家移民管理局的成立,中国的移民管理进入了新的历史时期,如何在移民管理改革背景下明晰“国际移民”概念尤为重要。在对国际社会及国内外学者相关概念分析的基础上,对“国际移民”在当前语境下的界定标准进行探讨,并对移民管理中涉及的相关概念进行梳理,认为我国移民管理背景下的“国际移民”可以概括为跨越主权国家边界的自然人,不受停留时间、迁徙动机和迁徙途径的限制,包括难民、留学生和二代移民,不包括外交及领事官员和维和等军事力量。

With the establishment of the National Immigration Administration,China’s migration management has entered a new historical period.Clarifying the concept of international migrants in the context of migration management reform is particularly important.Based on an analysis of the relevant concepts of international society and scholars at home and abroad,this article explores the defining criteria of international migrants in the current background,and combs the relevant concepts involved in migration management,and finally contends that an“international migrant”in China’s context can be defined as a natural person who crosses the border of a sovereign state without the restriction of residence time,migration motivation and means,with refugees,international students and second-generation migrants included,but not diplomats and consular officers,as well as peacekeeping personnel.
