摘要：The theory of social networks has been widely documented in the context of international migration. Most of these investigations focus on the strength shown by the ties of kinship and friendship to attract migrants. However, few studies have investigated the processes of network configuration and its structural influence on migration empirically. The objective of this article is to use the methodology of Social Network Analysis, to identify structural properties that may be influencing the spread of the migratory phenomenon in Venezuela, and to describe the reticular structure of skilled migration and its evolution towards the configuration of a possible transnational community. To do this, we collected data from personal (egocentric) networks among a community of Venezuelan living in Paris. The results confirm that the personal networks of the interviewees have the power to spread the migratory behavior in Venezuela and they show evidence of the configuration of a transnational community of Venezuelans in Paris.
