DIMENSIONS OF SPORT MIGRATION: CONTRIBUTIONS FOR A REFLECTIVE MODEL

Abstract

Global migrations in sports are common nowadays, and along with the increase in migratory flows, it also evidenced the increase in research related to the subject. Different approaches, theories, and typologies have been developed in recent decades seeking to analyze specific migration issues. This paper argues the need to analyze the migration process in an agenda that considers multiple factors that influence the decision to migrate. Therefore, it presents a theoretical discussion that forms the basis for the development of an analytical model of sports migration, understanding four dimensions, cultural, political, economic, and personal.
