Sverige och Återvandringen - Föreställningar kring återvandring i 1990-talets Sverige

Abstract

"This thesis deals with the issue of return-migration. The purpose is to throw light on return-migration and notions of return-migration in Sweden during the first and middle half of 1990:s. It was during the 1990s century that a political turn occurred within the migration-policy in which return-migration became a important piece within the wider migrationpolitics.
The main questions this thesis wants to bring to light are the following: What are the motives for return migration?
Why return migration? Which notions stretches return-migration?
Concerning method this thesis is based upon qualitative interviews with politicians and a wider discourse analysis. It’s moreover based upon a deconstruction of utterances from politicians and analysis of written text in terms of Swedish Government Official Reports and government proposals.
The theoretical frame consists of in part discourse analysis and part reasoning about return-migration and also globalisation."
