title: Themes on circulation in the third world.
abstract: "This article focuses upon circulation, or reciprocal flows of people, with specific reference to Third World societies."  Aspects considered include attempts to standardize terminology and to formulate typologies of population movement; the development of explanatory models of circulation and modernization, social networks, family welfare, and capitalism; and "the transfer of methods and concepts to societies and populations different from those from which they initially evolved and in which they were first tested."
