Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to set a general framework for this themed issue of JEMS in order to understand the notion of Southern European countries as an ensemble in relation to their migratory system. The proposed theoretical framework is based on a triadic relationship composed of the impact of global economic processes, a weak and familistic welfare state and a dynamic informal economy. The paper also incorporates and integrates some of the conceptual ideas deriving from other papers in this special issue.
