Special Issue: Contextualizing and Conceptualizing Reintegration Processes in the Context of Return

The International Migration special issue on ‘Contextualizing and conceptualizing reintegration processes in the context of return’, with guest-editors Ine Lietaert  (UNU-CRIS) and Katie Kuschminder (UNU-MERIT), is the first special issue reintegration in the field of return migration studies. Based on a collection of papers from a variety of return countries, that is Afghanistan, Armenia, Dominica, DR Congo, Ethiopia, Georgia and Senegal, the collective contribution of this special issue is to critically assess reintegration from a conceptual and contextual perspective. This special issue can be viewed as a reflection on reintegration that can inform future developments in this field.
