The Remigration: Causes and Sustainability (The Bulgarian Case)
The Remigration: Causes and Sustainability (The Bulgarian Case)

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the causes and sustainability of remigration, carried out by the Bulgarian migrants. It is focused upon the returnees’ own interpretations of the reasons behind their migratory behavior and the subjective meaning of their migratory movements. Comparisons are made between the motives for departure, return and re-departure as components of the overall migration trajectories. The return is looked upon in the overall context of mobility either as a split moment within it, or as a final point. Diverse economic and non-economic motives for return are identified. The relationship between the sustainability of return and the causes of initial migration and subsequent remigration is analyzed.
