| Summary: | International and interregional migrations, the geographic form of human mobility have a number of
social, economic and political effects. These impacts can vary depending on the reference period, region
or sector as well as on the goals and aspects of our interpretation. Another important question in
connection with regional competitiveness is how decision makers act and react after perceiving migratory
movements. Analysing the interference between immigration and regional development, we can rely on
the well-known migration theories, however, a comparison of further models and concepts relating
development and regional issues can be more useful for researchers. These questions are relevant, since
the issues of the regional science, such as regional competitiveness and regional policy, have in the
background strong associations with migratory phenomena.
The aim of this study is to introduce the theoretical background, summarizing the mainstream solutions
and the controversies as well. Thus the first part presents the role of the migration theories and these of
the regional science in connection with the linkages between immigration and regional competitiveness.
Besides it points out the importance of immigrants´ inclusion. The next section focuses, complemented
with the outcomes of a multivariate statistical analysis, on the theories on determinants and causalities of
migration, exploring the connecting points with the issues of the regional policy. |
