关于亚洲和太平洋移民最明显的事实是其多样性。派遣国包括社会主义越南、资本主义韩国和殖民地美属萨摩亚等不同国家。重要的移民群体包括苗族山区农民、印度科学家和工程师、中国商人和菲律宾服务工人。从社会科学的角度来看，移民流动之间的差异对寻求一般模型来解释国际移徙的原因和后果的理论家提出了挑战。缺乏一个全面的解释框架也是由于缺乏与这种方法相对应的经验数据。作为理论发展的一步，作者主张应用一个广泛的迁移系统范例，在这个范例中，可以整合和比较各种知识。这一模式要求使用宏观和微观数据，它以了解历史以及原籍地和其他目的地的当代状况为前提，它力求解释稳定性和不同形式的流动，它特别注意地点之间的联系，并承认移徙系统的各个部分是动态地相互关联的。
The most evident fact about Asian and Pacific immigration is its diversity. Sending countries include countries as diverse as socialist Vietnam capitalist South Korea and colonial American Samoa. Significant groups of immigrants include Hmong hill farmers Indian scientists and engineers Chinese businessmen and Filipino service workers. From the perspective of social science the differences among immigration flows offer a challenge to theorists who seek general models to explain the causes and consequences of international migration. The absence of a comprehensive explanatory framework is also attributable to the paucity of empirical data that would correspond to such an approach. As a step toward theoretical development the authors argue for the application of a broad migration systems paradigm within which diverse bits of knowledge can be integrated and compared. This paradigm requires the use of macro- and microdata it presupposes a knowledge of history as well as of contemporary conditions at the origin and at alternative destinations it seeks to explain both stability and different forms of mobility it pays particular attention to the linkages between places and it recognizes that the parts of a migration system are dynamically interconnected.
