Description 1 online resource Series Routledge research on the global politics of migration Routledge research on the global politics of migration. Contents Rethinking return, reintegration, and mobility in south-eastern Europe -- Setting the analytical framework: reconceptualising return, reintegration, and mobility -- Return mobilities of first-generation Albanians: reconciling the rupture of disintegration and negotiating the future -- Return mobilities of the second generation: between disintegration and hybrid identities -- A typology of return, reintegration, and onwards mobility Summary "This book provides an important new analytical framework for making sense of return, remigration and circular mobility, conceptualising them as different phases of a wider migration process. Using an in-depth case study of Albania and its two main destination countries, Italy and Greece, the book demonstrates that instead of being viewed as a linear path between origin and destination, migration should be seen as a segmented, or cyclical pattern that may involve several localities and more than two countries. Characterised by important previous historical, social, economic and political linkages, geographical proximity but also high migration volatility and sustained flows in either directions, Albanian migration to Italy and Greece offers an optimal case study for analysing complex return, reintegration and mobility processes. While interesting as a unique regional migration system, the lessons learned cast light on important migration and mobility dynamics that are relevant for labour migration in Europe, also from other important migrant origin countries in the EU's neighbourhood such as for instance Morocco or the Ukraine. This rich theoretical and empirical study will be of interest to researchers within European Studies and Migration Studies, as well as providing a useful contribution to policy debates on how to govern return migration, reintegration and circular migration"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed Subject Return migration -- Albania Political Science -- World -- European.
