CELSI Research Fellow Dumitru Sandu, professor of sociology at the University of Bucharest, published a new article in International Migration on the key destinations of Romanian emigration.

The article “A Multi‐Level Migration System Between Regions of Origin and the European Hexagon of Attraction” (2025) analyses recent emigration flows from Romania’s regions to six main destination countries: Italy, Spain, Germany, the UK, France, and Austria.

By linking NUTS 3 regions of origin with these destinations, Sandu shows how migration systems evolve through conditional selectivity of emigration. His findings highlight the urban–rural divide, regional variation, and the role of changing contexts in structuring migration flows during 2011–2021.
