Digital Social Communications of Migrants and Diaspora on the Example of the Global Armenian Community

Abstract

Sociocultural analysis of migratory behavior, socio-economic and political studies of the Diaspora and the study of social communications as the basis for building social networks of migrants form a holistic view of the content of the migration choice being made. Social communication research focuses on knowledge transfer and building sustainable trusting relationships. Based on the analysis of the level of education of migrants and interviews with Armenian migrants on the role of the network of family and friendly relations, conclusions are drawn about the importance of network interactions and communications based on trust, which are based on the motives for making a decision to migrate. In the context of the knowledge economy, the educational level of human capital plays a key role for the competitive advantages of business and the region, innovative economic growth requires building effective relationships, which, in the context of social isolation and the development of digital contacts, have received new tools for expansion. Global digital social communications make it possible to maintain a richness and intensity of contacts, including the exchange of information and the maintenance of an ethnic cultural identity, regardless of location.
