PL

W artykule został przedstawiony związek między migracjami (z naciskiem na zagraniczne) a modernizacją. Autor poddał dyskusji zwłaszcza kwestie wpływu emigracji na procesy moder- nizacyjne w społeczeństwie, doświadczającym silnego odpływu ludności za granicę. Analiza tego oddziaływania została przeprowadzona z perspektywy długiego trwania (longue durée). W tym celu autor przedstawił koncepcję cyklu migracyjnego i ściśle z nią związaną koncepcję cyklu ludnościowego i dowiódł, że każde modernizujące się społeczeństwo doświadcza obu cykli. Na tej podstawie sformułował hipotezę, że odpływ ludności powoduje efekt rozgęszczenia, który jest niezbędny do sfinalizowania przemian modernizacyjnych. Artykuł zawiera szereg argumentów na rzecz tej hipotezy ale zarazem nie unika refleksji nad jej ograniczeniami.

The paper describes the relationship between migration (with a focus on international migration) and modernisation. In particular, the author discusses the problem of emigration impacts on modernisation processes in a society undergoing significant population outflow. The analysis of these impacts has been carried out from the perspective of longue durée. The author puts forward the concepts of the migration cycle and its close relative, the population cycle. He argues that any modernising society undergoes both of these cycles. On the basis of the very nature of the migration cycle, the author hypothesises that out-migration has a crowding-out effect that is indispensible for the modernisation of society to be completed. The paper presents many arguments supporting this hypothesis, but it does not avoid reflection on its limitations.
