Since the 2008 Great Recession, the world has witnessed the demise of neoliberal globalization, amid an ongoing political, socioeconomic, and environmental polycrisis, and the consequent emergence of a post-neoliberal world order. We argue that the attendant fragmentation of global political order, the resurgence of authoritarian nationalism worldwide, and the societal implications of climate change and emergencies have reconfigured the basic conditions for migrant transnationalism. Our analysis points to a far-reaching reassertion of the nation-state in migration governance. In response, we retheorize migration infrastructure as a conceptual lens for analyzing migrant transnationalism. We reveal how an assemblage of weak infrastructures, particularly the fragility within and between its constituent components, has reshaped the logic, practice, and experiences of transnational migration and lives.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"389 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149151708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although both interdisciplinary fields examine processes that are fundamentally interconnected—the movement of people and the movement of firms—they have largely developed in parallel. In this introduction, we review the most relevant IB scholarship, consider the extent to which it has drawn on migration-related insights, and reflect on why it has nonetheless remained relatively detached from broader migration studies. We then examine what IB can contribute to research on high-skilled migration, what migration studies can offer IB in return, and outline four pathways for building stronger conceptual bridges between the two fields. Collectively, the articles in this special issue illustrate that potential by illuminating the multiple intersections between high-skilled migration and IB.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149130306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using linked administrative records and sequence and cluster analysis, we identify five permit transition pathways to PR among international students that vary by timing, duration, and permit sequence. Our multinomial logistic regression analysis highlights pathway differences across study level, arrival cohort, and province. Students pursuing a master's degree or non-university diploma were more likely to obtain off-campus work permit(s) during studies and a post-study work permit before PR. Post-2008 cohorts were also more likely to follow this pathway. Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Quebec stood out for transitions to PR without a post-study work permit. This study reveals complex, non-linear transitions to PR, emphasizing the role of evolving immigration policies in shaping diverse pathways. Insights can inform discussions on temporary status transitions and differential access to PR.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"146 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149130305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use an online vignette survey experiment to examine respondents’ nonacceptance of refugee arrivals and four types of perceived threats: job competition, mate competition, threats to German culture, and safety. Respondents are recruited via Meta targeted online advertisement in the German state of Mecklenburg–Western Pomerania. Our results suggest that nonacceptance of a refugee group increases as its male-to-female sex ratio rises. This relationship is particularly pronounced for perceived threats to German culture and safety, when the refugee group is non-white. Respondents’ gender also shapes both overall acceptance and the specific threats that respondents perceive. Female respondents showed more tolerant attitudes than male respondents toward refugee groups with lower male-to-female sex ratios. Female respondents also perceived greater threats to culture and mate competition in the neighborhood from non-white male refugees. Male respondents perceived greater threats from job competition. Both groups showed heightened perceived threats to safety. Overall, our findings show that the demographic composition of refugee inflows interacts with respondent gender to produce distinct patterns of acceptance and threat perception, shedding light on the mechanisms underlying negative attitudes toward refugee arrivals in Germany.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149130307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
