The strength of diasporic nationalism is characterised by an uneven historical geography, with different diasporic communities functioning as hotbeds of nationalism at different times. Mapping and explaining these historical geographies is of importance if the cultural and political experiences of diasporic existence are to be understood. It is towards a critical interrogation of the conceptual tools available to accomplish this task that this paper is dedicated. Based upon a reading of social scientific literature on the intensity of national affiliation among the nineteenth and early twentieth century Irish diaspora, and using Doreen Massey's recent advocacy of a new concept of space-time, the paper advances a case for a (re)theorisation of the phenomenon of diasporic nationalism. In so doing, it is hoped that it will contribute to ongoing efforts to (re)theorise migration in four main ways: firstly, by identifying a subject area that provides a forum for population geography researchers to continue their growing dialogue with social and cultural geographers on the one hand and political geographers on the other; secondly, by reviewing the contribution of migration research to work in this area to date; thirdly, by offering a (re)theorisation of diasporic nationalism that places some traditional concerns of population geography at its core; and finally, by calling upon migration researchers to engage (once again) with contemporary debates within human geography about time and space, and to reflect upon how the conceptions of time and space which inhere within their work, condition the way they define and understand the settlement experiences of migrant groups.

流散民族主义的力量具有不均衡的历史地理特征，不同的流散社区在不同时期充当民族主义的温床。如果要理解流散存在的文化和政治经验，绘制和解释这些历史地理是很重要的。本文致力于对可用于完成这一任务的概念工具进行批判性的询问。基于对19世纪和20世纪初爱尔兰侨民的民族关系强度的社会科学文献的阅读，并利用多琳·梅西最近倡导的一个新的时空概念，本文提出了一个关于流散民族主义现象的(重新)理论化的案例。在这样做的过程中，希望它将有助于以四种主要方式(重新)理论化移徙的持续努力:首先，通过确定一个主题领域，为人口地理学研究人员提供一个论坛，一方面继续与社会和文化地理学家进行日益增长的对话，另一方面与政治地理学家进行对话;其次，通过回顾迄今为止移民研究对该领域工作的贡献;第三，通过对流散民族主义进行(重新)理论化，将一些传统的人口地理学问题置于其核心;最后，通过呼吁移民研究人员(再次)参与人文地理学中关于时间和空间的当代辩论，并反思他们工作中固有的时间和空间概念如何影响他们定义和理解移民群体定居经历的方式。版权¦# 169;2001 John Wiley and Sons, Ltd。

This paper raises the issue of the role of theory in population geography. In the last decade there have been calls for population geographers to become more involved in the wider debates of human geography and related social sciences including a plea for (re)theorization of the subdiscipline. Yet there has been little response. Since theory is not an optional extra why this lack of enthusiasm? One explanation the author suggests relates to an uncertainty about the different kinds of theory that inform empirical population research. Using the example of demographic transition theory the author identifies different “layers” of theory (population theory theories of society and philosophical theories) that underpin population research. The author argues that in addition population geographers must recognize the continuing importance of disciplinary cultures and attend to theories of space and place. Understanding difference and diversity must lie at the heart of population geographys contribution to the multidisciplinary arena of population studies. It is the ideas of postmodernism that have “legitimized” such understandings in the wider social sciences. At the same time these ideas have introduced an ultimately nihilistic pluralism. Resolution of the resulting tension is the greatest challenge currently facing the discipline of geography. The authors entreaty is that population geographers recognize this challenge and as part of the (re)theorization of the subdiscipline become more involved in the debate. (authors)

This paper explores the usefulness of a biographical approach in studying Irish rural youth migration. There have been calls recently for an approach to migration study that involves conceptualizing migration as part of individual biographies as well as social structures. However, there is little research that explicitly adopts a biographical approach. This paper presents the theoretical underpinnings, methodological issues and findings of a recent study that was guided by the principles of a biographical approach to migration. The study was an exploration of life-path formation among Irish rural youth from the 1970s to the 1990s. The paper focuses on the three key elements of a biographical approach to migration, and relates them to Irish rural youth migration. Firstly, migration is considered as part of an individual's biography, and the methodological implications of this are explored. Secondly, it is argued, drawing on the research in Ireland, that migration decision-making is a multilayered process. In the case of Irish rural youth migration, a biographical approach highlights the complexity of migration decision-making, revealing the tensions and struggles that lie behind each move, and thus raises questions over the tendency towards simplification of the migration process. Finally, it is argued that migration is a cultural phenomenon, but that this assertion needs careful qualification. This paper problematizes the role of culture in migration processes by untangling the systems of competing discourses of migration that underlie societal norms regarding migration, thereby challenging the view of migration as "normal" for particular societies or cultures.

"How one conceptualises the impacts of migration depends on whether one takes the viewpoint of aggregate area-level income change, of per capita change, or of longer-term (future earnings) change. Several empirical analytical measures are proposed in order to conceptualise the various income impacts of migration.... [A] decomposition procedure is developed for examining how the changes in per capita income of states reflect three different income differentials: those between (a) in-migrants and 'stayers', (b) out-migrants and 'stayers', and (c) in-migrants and out-migrants. Examination of these measures, and of typologies based on them, highlights how income migration significantly and differentially impacts upon U.S. states. The methods are illustrated here in the context of an important new American data source: the 1993-94 migrant income data released by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service."

"This paper provides estimates of ethnic minority populations in 1981 in Greater London so that spatial population change can be measured. The estimation method involves the application of conditional probabilities of ethnicity given the country of birth. Several different data sources from the census of population have been used to compute the conditional probabilities. Each of these sources has deficiencies; the new method proposed here employs data on 1981-91 survivors in the ONS Longitudinal Study (LS). The estimated ethnic minority populations for 1981 are smaller than those generated using 1991 Census data, and hence the estimate of change is larger. Careful pairwise comparisons are made between alternative estimates. A set of very different maps of change, based on the LS method, are presented and interpreted for the ethnic groups of London at the borough scale."

This paper reports on a project that integrates basic behavioral and need assessment research with program design, implementation and evaluation to promote consistent condom use in the sex industry of Thailand. The project structure consisted of Phase I, which provided a detailed psychosocial investigation into the factors influencing condom use by female sex workers in Thailand. Phase II translated the research findings of Phase I into an operational intervention. This involved an integrated series of stages including pre-program needs assessment, intervention design, implementation, evaluation, and finally dissemination and policy integration. As a basis for open discussion and personal exploration the use of dramatic narrative scenarios on video were used to depict the problems experienced by sex workers. This program was implemented in high and low-income establishments in central Thailand; evaluation was performed through pre/post-test, intervention and control, and quasi-experimental design. Findings demonstrated an increase in the consistency of condom use over a period of 1 month among the low-income intervention group, from 66% (pre-test) to 86% (post-test), while there was no significant change observed among the sex workers in the control group.

This paper investigates the problems in integrating different data sets for social science research. A cross-national analysis of the effects of family migration on labor market participation rates for female partners was used as an example to concretize these problems. The data used in the cross national analysis came from the 1991 British Census Sample of Anonymised Records and the 1990 United States Public Use Microdata Sample. The problems addressed were the following: data collection; manipulation and reliability; question type and definition; and measurement of individual and family variables. As part of the analysis, some empirical findings were also presented. Significant overall differences between the US and Great Britain (GB) samples were observed, particularly concerning graduate qualifications, marital and employment status, and ethnic group. There were higher numbers of married partners and full-time workers in the US sample, while female partners undertaking part-time employment were greater in GB. Furthermore, the US sample had more couples with a female graduate as compared with the GB sample who had a higher proportion of nongraduate couples. Finally, this paper recognized the importance of cross- national research in the evaluation of national ideological and institutional structures.
