Migrația internațională și schimbarea comunitară ca strategie de viață
Land leasing in Romania: exploitation or the effect of dysfunctional markets?
Ruxandra O. Ciobanu
Abstract (Rezumat în limba engleză): The present article has its origin in the attempt to connect the micro-level (life strategy, more precisely by the international migration for work), the meso-level (the community, the place where the changes due to the consequences of migration take place), and the macro-level (which at first allows the emergence of migration, and secondly is influenced by its consequences). The hypotheses try to connect the international migration to the changes in the original community of the migrants. So, migration can be regarded as having a latent function that leads to community changing and further on to development, maximizing the resources at the individual level, and modifying behavior. Thus the consequences are the entrepreneurship as a main life strategy and in time transnational migration.
