20.500.12556/ReVIS-12865 The quest for the ideal migration theory: a critical inquiry on eleven representative models Iskanje idealne teorije migracij: kritična analiza enajstih reprezentativnih modelov A major concern facing modern humanity is migration, which presents a quadruple dilemma – ethical: the natural aspiration of people to relocate freely; legal: the legal entitlement of people to freely exercise their private property rights; economic: the proved effectiveness of unfettered labor mobility; and cultural: the natural propensity of communities to preserve their language, religion, and customs. Although many models have done a good job of capturing the material interests of rational individuals, their reliance on caeteris paribus and ignorance of cultural variables make their interpretations far from accurate. Other models recreate tangible real worlds, but it is difficult to isolate and quantify the proposed qualitative factors. The Theory Relevancy Bipolar Testing Spectrum, a new tool we developed, allowed us to compare eleven migration theoretical systems along two axes: macroeconomic against microeconomic methods, and abstract models against those that recreate specific environments. Given the scientific disagreement about which hypothesis is most likely to explain the phenomenon, we therefore proposed the use of microeconomic analysis as a means of achieving the fragile balance between abstract and real, conceptual and tangible, universal and specific, economic and cultural, quantitative and qualitative. Eden izmed največjih izzivov sodobnega človeštva so migracije, ki predstavljajo štirikratno dilemo – etično: naravna težnja ljudi po svobodni selitvi; pravno: pravica posameznikov do svobodnega uresničevanja pravic zasebne lastnine; ekonomsko: dokazana učinkovitost neomejene mobilnosti delovne sile; in kulturno: naravna nagnjenost skupnosti k ohranjanju jezika, vere in običajev. Čeprav številni modeli migracij uspešno zajamejo materialne interese racionalnih posameznikov, njihovo zanašanje na predpostavko ceteris paribus ter spregled kulturnih spremenljivk zmanjšujeta natančnost njihovih razlag. Drugi modeli sicer uspešno ponazarjajo resnične svetove, vendar je težko izolirati in količinsko opredeliti predlagane kvalitativne dejavnike. Spekter bipolarnega testiranja relevantnosti teorij – novo orodje, ki sva ga razvila – nama je omogočil primerjavo enajstih teoretičnih sistemov migracij po dveh oseh: makroekonomske proti mikroekonomskim metodam in abstraktni modeli proti tistim, ki poustvarjajo specifična okolja. Glede na znanstveno nesoglasje o tem, katera hipoteza najverjetneje najbolje razloži pojav, predlagava uporabo mikroekonomske analize kot način za dosego krhkega ravnovesja med abstraktnim in realnim, konceptualnim in oprijemljivim, univerzalnim in specifičnim, ekonomskim in kulturnim, kvantitativnim in kvalitativnim. migration neoclassical paradigm human capital theory economics migration labor migration mobility transition dual labor migration theory migracije neoklasični model teorija človeškega kapitala ekonomska perspektiva migracij ekonomija delovne migracije teorija dvojnega trga dela prehod mobilnosti true false true Fakulteta za pravo in ekonomijo Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-12-19 23:30:02 2026-01-16 22:36:22 2026-01-17 03:10:02 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 99-132 št. 1 Letn. 10 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-08-01 314.15 2464-0344 245363715 10.62983/rn2865.25a.5 5_Res_nove_1_2025_Cristian_Manolachi_and_Gabriel_Claudiu_Mursa.pdf 5_Res_nove_1_2025_Cristian_Manolachi_and_Gabriel_Claudiu_Mursa.pdf 1 D1320FD74F0574BA339DDC7DCAF4C8F6 7f43af3a1f834e2fdb5c84fe76c9e7e7ed1f0ee3b6832a07efb4e848e8b6c222 f22e906a-f321-11f0-a15d-001a4af901a5 https://revis.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=15303 https://www.katoliski-institut.si/public_resources_cache/files/original/original/13/1325/5_Res_nove_1_2025_Cristian_Manolachi_and_Gabriel_Claudiu_Mursa.pdf 1 e70c5392-f321-11f0-a15d-001a4af901a5 https://revis.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=15302 Fakulteta za pravo in ekonomijo 0 0 0
