Hinter Migrationsprozessen wird sehr schnell das Schicksal des Einzelnen greifbar. Nicht selten wird fur seine Interessen Partei ergriffen, obwohl Forschung dem Anspruch nach werturteilsfrei sein sollte. Nicht zuletzt durch die “Fluchtlingskrise” hat sich demgegenuber ein Bedurfnis nach wirtschaftswissenschaftlich und -historisch fundiertem Orientierungswissen entwickelt, das die historische Migrationsforschung bisher nicht zu befriedigen vermochte. Anliegen des ersten Bandes wie auch der Schriftenreihe insgesamt ist es deshalb, entsprechende Forschungslucken durch das Beschreiten innovativer, auch Diskussion provozierender Wege zu uberwinden.


In present and past migration processes the fate of the individual becomes tangible much faster than in many other historical processes. Hence, it is not uncommon that people take sides with the migrant and possibly also of his or her country of origin, even though the academia should refrain from biased judgements. Not least as a result of the “refugee crisis” of 2015, a noticeable need for orientation knowledge based on economics and economic history has developed, which historical migration research has not been able to satisfy so far. The aim of this first volume, as well as of the series as a whole, is therefore to overcome the corresponding gaps in research by taking innovative and provocative paths in order to stimulate discussion.
