At the global level, international migration can be considered as a network of migration exchanges between different countries. Employing an exploratory network analysis of the international migration structure, the present paper examines the structural characteristics of this network and the status of the countries. The analysis is done using the socio-spatial approach. Results show that as the severity of network ties grow, the number of ties reduce significantly and ties are asymmetric. Most of the migrations in the international migration structure have also taken place outside the near and neighboring countries. The network analysis showed two migration patterns of "International Migratory Highways" and "Migratory Clusters". In the first migration pattern, migrations are largely asymmetric and towards the major centers of immigration, while in the second one, migrations are mostly symmetric and within specific geographical areas.

在全球一级，国际移徙可被视为不同国家之间移徙交流的网络。通过对国际移徙结构的探索性网络分析，本论文考察了该网络的结构特征和国家地位。使用社会空间方法进行分析。结果表明，随着网络联系的严重性增加，联系的数量显着减少，并且联系是不对称的。国际移徙结构中的大多数移徙也发生在附近国家和邻国以外。网络分析显示了“国际迁移公路”和“迁移集群”的两种迁移模式。在第一个迁移模式中，
