This dual goal is resource-intensive, and focusing on the former may come at a cost to the latter. The purpose of the current research is to challenge the importance of trust-building by resettlement agencies. Drawing from our qualitative data from in-depth interviews with resettled refugees (N = 20) and agency workers (N = 15), we adopt a grounded theory approach and find that the burden of responsibility for both caregiving and administrative responsibilities can overtax agency workers and create unrealistic expectations for refugee newcomers that can potentially have lasting negative effects on their resettlement. We explore the relationships among refugees and service providers and propose a self-efficacy focused rather than solely a trust-focused approach that prioritises opportunities of reciprocity for refugees that enables them to engage, contribute and be agents in their resettlement (self-efficacy approach). This primarily includes delegating some trust-building activities to diaspora to relieve resettlement agency workers of burdensome tasks for which they may be ill-equipped, so they may focus on tasks for which they are qualified and can be more effective. Ultimately, we argue that empowering refugees early on in their resettlement will reduce the likelihood that they will develop long-term reliance on governmental agencies rather than themselves and their new communities.","PeriodicalId":48011,"journal":{"name":"International Migration","volume":"63 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/imig.70064","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144598538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a mixed-methods approach, we first analyse 2252 observations from the International Organisation for Migration's Flow Monitoring Surveys to identify the main factors influencing changes in destination choices. We then complement these findings with qualitative data from focus groups with 16 asylum seekers in Romania to explore these dynamics in depth. Our results show that prioritising safety significantly increases the likelihood of asylum seekers reconsidering a transit country as a potential destination. Other influential factors include asylum conditions, migration costs, and educational background, with more educated individuals more likely to revise initial plans. Although our primary focus is on asylum seekers, we find that high migration costs also affect decisions, suggesting a need to ‘recover’ investments through settlement in more stable or economically attractive countries. The qualitative findings support the quantitative results, highlighting the role of legal stability, social networks, and perceived opportunity in shifting preferences. Overall, the study suggests that under certain conditions, transit countries can become viable destinations and supports the application of bounded rationality and human capital theory in understanding refugee decision-making.","PeriodicalId":48011,"journal":{"name":"International Migration","volume":"63 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/imig.70066","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144589652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our findings indicate that political factors such as corruption, violation of human rights and political instability in the country are central in explaining permanent migration. The relevance of economic factors for permanent migration is also high. Geopolitical factors predominantly explain non-permanent migration intentions, suggesting that security concerns are less likely to be a reason for leaving the home country permanently. Regional patterns are consistently observed in Armenia and Azerbaijan but not in Georgia. This can be explained by sustained institutional differences between Georgia and the other two countries in the region. Our findings suggest that by prioritising political governance through initiatives like the Mobility Partnerships and the Eastern Partnership, the European Union (EU) can simultaneously promote institutional development and contribute to managing permanent migration from the South Caucasus. Although the EU is not the primary destination for migrants from the South Caucasus, the EU-led initiatives can still contribute to shaping structural conditions and institutional reforms that influence broader migration dynamics.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48011,"journal":{"name":"International Migration","volume":"63 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144573827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From an iterational perspective, their pre-displacement occupations reflect the agency underlying their job-seeking efforts and self-reliance. The findings show that while many refugees struggle to find employment, many can use their previous work experience and skills to pursue new careers in their respective fields. Their occupational composition is diverse, including individuals employed across various sectors—blue-collar, white-collar and entrepreneurial. Based on interviews with 110 Syrian refugees in Turkey, I argue that considering refugees' pre-displacement socio-economic context is crucial for examining their agency in host countries and for shaping refugee policies, as the development of their occupational pathways is closely linked to their pre-displacement occupations and may reflect either continuity or change.","PeriodicalId":48011,"journal":{"name":"International Migration","volume":"63 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/imig.70070","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144573828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It argues that the digitalisation of the border regime does not produce data doubles as discrete and intelligible objects of knowledge; rather, it generates scattered digital subjectivities. Relatedly, it contends that the scattered dimension of subjectivities indexes modes of violence beyond blatant law infringements: migrants are haunted by traces that disrupt their journeys. The paper starts by taking stock of scholarship on digital borders and migration, illustrating the pitfall of analyses that assume a discrete digital subject. Focusing on the French-Italian border, the article moves on by reconstructing the production of scattered digital migrant subjectivities. The third section shifts from digital subjectivities as an object of knowledge towards the effects of extractive processes on migrants: it shows that migrants feel disintegrated and unable to give an account of themselves, that is, of putting order in their life. It concludes by arguing that an analysis of the digitalisation of the border regime should investigate jointly the production of scattered digital subjectivities and the effects of disintegration that it generates on migrants.","PeriodicalId":48011,"journal":{"name":"International Migration","volume":"63 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/imig.70067","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144573823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It proposes an approach for examining the reintegration assistance practices of frontline providers by (a) viewing them through the lens of street-level bureaucracy acting mainly on behalf of the returning state and (b) as locally situated agents within the networks of their own distributive relations and embodying their own social positioning. Street-level implementers play an active role in shaping outreach, effectiveness, and sustainability of reintegration assistance, not always in the intended ways. This article traces their navigation of institutional, organisational, and relational contexts, internalised social norms, and perceptions of social divisions, as well as the micro-dynamics of asymmetrical interactions during service delivery. It finds that strategies applied by street-level assistance providers have ambivalent but rather minor effects on pre-existing inequalities. Even though they often naturalise prevalent social divisions, the interactions and allocation of assistance are determined more by their practical experiences, availability and type of support, as well as general programme design and working conditions. The inability to bridge the mismatch between available support and needs can even endorse inequality-normalising perceptions.","PeriodicalId":48011,"journal":{"name":"International Migration","volume":"63 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/imig.70061","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144524895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
