SIERRA-PAYCHA, Celio. THE REEMIGRATION OF IMMIGRANTS IN SPAIN. BEYOND DISTANCE AND PULL FACTORS: THE MIGRATORY NETWORK EFFECT (2007-2014). Territ. [online]. 2019, n.41, pp.45-68. ISSN 0123-8418.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/territorios/a.7595.

This article focuses on an emerging territorial configuration characteristic of contemporary migration flows: the redeployment of migration fields from one country to another. It bases on a quantitative study of the spatial morphology of the re-emigration of five groups of immigrants leaving Spain from 2008 to 2014 (Moroccans, Romanians, Ecuadorians, Colombians, and Bolivians). The micro-individual analysis questions the effect of migration network variables on immigrant emigration projects, while the macroscopic analysis mobilizes three explanatory variables: the distance between Spain and the country of destination, the effect of possible pull factors and finally the role of the migration network. These two levels of the analysis highlight a phenomenon of anisotropy of re-emigration according to the geography of the migration network, both at the level of the migrant group and the individual.

Keywords : Reemigration; migration network; Spain; quantitative methods; international migration.
