Abstract
The paper treats external migration from the region of West Herzegovina. The process of emigration became one of the major socio-geographic, socio-cultural and socio-economic traits of this region. The author examines migration during the Turkish advance, the migrationary and demographic picture of West Herzegovina during the Austro-Hungarian period, and during the first and second Yugoslavia. She likewise treats the connection between external migration and the ethnic situation in West Herzegovina. Finally, she discusses return migration and problems of families in the migration context, and the interrelationship between migration and development.
