Abstract: | Research into international migration lacks a commonly accepted theoretical framework, which would facilitate the accumulation
of knowledge. This article aims to be a first attempt to construct such a framework and to incorporate causalities in the
international migration systems approach. The author presents a theoretical framework in which four groups of factors acting
on international migration are distinguished: economic, social, political and “linkages.” The causalities in this framework
are derived from different international migration theories. The various positions of these whole theories within the framework
are shown as causality chains. In a way, these causality chains form the time dimension of an international migration system
