Venezuela, Migration, Political economy, Push and pull theory, Economic crisisAbstract
The aim of this study is to create a pattern by looking at the historical background of the migration movement in Venezuela and to reveal that the Venezuelan diaspora is a social movement that takes place with push factors, based on the push and pull theory. In this context, it has been focused on the economic and political background of the Venezuelan migration movement, and by looking at the political economy history, it has been determined that the migration movement took place in three different waves. By analyzing the push factors, the development of the migration phenomenon in Venezuela was followed and a framework was drawn with the sociological contexts of the target countries. The main argument of the article is the claim that the current Venezuelan migration movement took place with push factors, considering the economic and political conditions, while the first two migration waves were depending on the pull factors.
