The sociology of migration 3.0

Abstract

Abstract
Aim: The aim of the review of Endre Sik’s book “The Sociology of Migration 3.0” is to present new ideas and values summarizing the changes in the research and theoretical approach to migration.
Methodology: in preparing the book review, I have endeavoured, through the comparative content analysis carried out, to provide a readable description of the new findings and conclusions that differ from the findings of the previous two books.
Findings: The author presented the thematic comparison in his previous books and the book under review as a separate elements, presenting the new elements that can be read as separate novae. With characteristic wisdom and direct simplicity, the author shows that this book is part of a process, a partial reinterpretation of the accelerated global social phenomenon, the antecedents of which were presented in his two previous books. The author has lived up to expectations by updating the processes, events and theoretical approaches he has previously analysed with research findings and references.
Value: the global social process of migration, researched and described by the author of the book, is presented with research findings and additions, interviews, which make the book newly identifiable as a seminal work in the literature on migration. It succeeds in describing the phenomenon, the characteristics of its migration patterns in the period following the mass irregular immigration of 2015, in a way that is comprehensible to non-migration researchers, and also presents current social value judgments.
