This article addresses this gap by examining the divergent responses of the two largest recipients of Venezuelan displaced people: Peru under Martín Vizcarra (2018–2020) and Colombia under Iván Duque (2018–2022). Although both Peru and Colombia are middle-income countries with significant emigration and share growing public resentment toward migrants and strained relations with Nicolás Maduro's regime, they pursued opposite policies. In 2019, Peru imposed a visa requirement for Venezuelan migrants, restricting access, whereas in 2021 Colombia created the Temporary Protection Status, allowing for regularization and a path to residency. Using 65 interviews with policymakers and experts, over 200 statements by public officials, and secondary literature, this study identifies the mechanisms behind these contradictory policies. It argues that whether forced displacement is perceived by executive actors as a foreign or domestic issue shapes the nature of policy in countries that would otherwise be expected to respond similarly. These perceptions are ultimately explained by executives’ need for self-preservation and self-legitimation within strategic political contexts. Four key factors—importance given to Venezuela, international reputation, executive strength, and, to a lesser extent, bureaucratic frameworks—determine whether foreign or domestic logics prevail. By showing how Latin American responses integrate both logics rather than fitting neatly into Global North/South binaries, this study challenges dominant dichotomies in migration scholarship.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144898710","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}

By adopting a targeted reflexive lens, it adds a conceptual dimension to critical externalization research—a growing yet fragmented field of inquiry that foregrounds Afrocentric, historized, and grounded perspectives. The article examines the far-reaching implications of European externalization interventions in Africa through a review of recent literature and shows how European migration governance extends across new territories and policy domains, engaging stakeholders across scales and fields. These interventions generate effects that reach well beyond their immediate and intended policy outcomes, particularly as they intersect with African actors and realities that simultaneously shape and resist them. By conceptualizing such implications as rippling effects , the article captures the multiscalar, often less visible, and potentially cumulative implications of migration governance, and moves externalization policy assessment beyond the binary of success or failure. Instead, the article offers an analytical approach that captures how interventions trigger local as well as broader political and societal transformations. As an introduction to the Special Issue, The Rippling Effects of European Migration Governance in Africa, we present the articles included in the collection and situate the research discourse on externalization within the increasing securitization of European migration governance, and its intersections with emerging shifts in current African geopolitics.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144766120","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}

On average, Mexican-origin students are double-segregated in high-minority, high-poverty schools, but the prior literature does not consider how markers of immigrant and residential integration shape differences in school compositional characteristics between Mexican-origin and non-Latino/a white students or how these factors are related to intragroup heterogeneity in Mexican-origin schooling contexts. Using the restricted-use High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09), we analyze two school compositional characteristics of Mexican-origin ninth-graders: School percent white and school average peer socioeconomic status (SES). We investigate the extent to which observable factors related to immigrant integration explain school compositional differences between Mexican-origin and non-Latino/a white students, and show how school compositional characteristics differ within the Mexican-origin student group by these markers of integration. We find that several observable factors, including household SES, parental race/ethnicity, and school type and location explain around three-quarters of differences in school percent white and school SES levels between Mexican-origin and white students. School percent white and SES levels increase among Mexican-origin students whose households exhibit indicators of integration. One exception to these patterns is for parental nativity, which does not play an important role in explaining school compositional differences between Mexican-origin and white youth, or contribute to intragroup heterogeneity in Mexican-origin school composition patterns, once other markers of integration are considered. In sum, Mexican-origin students whose families exhibit socioeconomic integration, parental racial/ethnic mixing, engagement in school choice, and geographic dispersion attend less minority-concentrated and higher-SES schools.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144748177","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 unique data from a rapidly deployed online survey conducted throughout Ukraine and Europe from April to July 2022 (N = 7,974), this study examines how language and exposure to violence may have influenced trajectories of forced migration shortly after Russia's invasion. By exploiting the timing of the survey, it examines how contextual and conflict-specific factors shaped the (un)certainty of migration movements and beliefs about return. Results show that exposure to conflict in the form of witnessing or being injured by a blast explosion was associated with shorter-distance moves within Ukraine. Findings suggest disparate trajectories of displacement by language identities. Although the survey was only available in Ukrainian, and did not include those who fled (or were deported) to Russia, Ukrainian respondents who reported speaking Russian as both their “native” and “home” language (25% of the sample) had the highest probability of relocating to nonbordering countries such as Germany and the United Kingdom. Independent of their origin and destination, Russian-speakers were also more likely to be in transit or uncertain about their destination, and less hopeful about a potential return. Thus, Russia's invasion created profound uncertainty for Russian-speaking Ukrainians and appears to have pushed them even farther away.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144748186","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}

Whereas scholars have documented at length the strategies that rich democracies use to avoid hosting refugees, conventional wisdom holds that states in the Global South have no choice but to host refugees. This article presents a novel typology of state strategies to evade asylum obligations, demonstrating that just as rich democracies can feign compliance with the letter of international law without upholding the spirit, states in the Global South can manipulate liberal asylum policies towards illiberal ends. Identifying how they do so, however, requires looking to the governance of refugee return. Using a descriptive typology and inductive case study, the article identifies and describes a common but under-recognized tactic that states use to avoid asylum responsibilities. I call this strategy “return-without- refoulement ” because states seek to coerce refugees to return without technically violating non-refoulement , the international legal prohibition against states returning refugees to dangerous places. Conceptualizing return-without- refoulement alongside other well-studied state responses to asylum-seeking evinces the continued strength of non-refoulement in shaping state behavior—just to perverse ends. In so doing, the article advances both the research agendas on state responses to displacement and international norm compliance.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144748189","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}

This article examines the governance of irregular migration in Sabah, Malaysia, with a particular focus on the role of Alternative Learning Centers (ALCs) with the case study of Indonesian and Filipino irregular immigrants. It critically explores the structural challenges of migration governance, Malaysia's deep reliance on migrant labor, through repertoires of migration governance. Given the persistent influx of irregular migrants into Sabah, this study highlights the pressing need for research on migrants’ restricted access to fundamental rights, particularly in the areas of education and social integration. Additionally, it seeks to understand the role of ALCs as key facilitators in addressing migration challenges and fostering community resilience. Employing a qualitative research approach, this study integrates ethnographic fieldwork with semistructured interviews conducted with irregular immigrants, grassroots organization members, and civil society activists. By examining migration policies, international legal frameworks, and the perspectives of both migrants and nongovernmental organizations, the findings reveal that ALCs and grassroots initiatives play a pivotal role in bridging the gaps left by formal migration governance structures. The analysis demonstrates that ALCs in Sabah serve as critical institutions for education and social inclusion among irregular migrant children. This study advocates for the adoption of human-centered policies that prioritize the dignity and well-being of irregular migrants and calls for the implementation of more comprehensive, rights-based migration governance frameworks in Sabah, Malaysia.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144715263","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}

Focusing on the pre-1960s through post-2000s eras, the study reveals how both nations’ migration policies have shifted from racially based to skills-based approaches, with a recent emphasis on language proficiency as a key selection criterion. Drawing on institutional isomorphism theory, the study argues that Canada and Australia exhibit normative and mimetic isomorphic processes, reflecting cultural values and mutual learning in policy development. It contends that these isomorphic practices are rooted in colonial legacies and may perpetuate historical hierarchies. Through an analysis of key events and occurrences, the study highlights the convergence of legal and regulatory regimes between the two nations, characterizing it as colonial isomorphism. This comprehensive examination provides insights into the sociocultural and historical factors shaping immigration policies, showing that migration policies in different nations appear to follow normative, coercive and mimetic isomorphic processes.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144766121","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}

Scholars tend to argue that this is inappropriate when sexual orientation forms the basis of the claim. Detailedness, consistency, and plausibility in sexual orientation narratives are hard to establish, as the narratives relate to identity and inner emotions rather than solely to external events. We have yet to determine which parts of the credibility assessments can affect refugee status outcomes. To address this gap, this article uses a representative sample of sexual orientation asylum decisions from Sweden, aiming to test which credibility aspects influence asylum determination outcomes. The findings reveal that case assessors put emphasis on detailedness and inconsistencies to determine whether statements are truthful. This emphasis on detail and consistency poses challenges in verifying the credibility of sexual orientation claims, as it is susceptible to deception. These insights underscore the need for a deeper understanding of credibility assessment methods to ensure a fairer treatment of sexual orientation claimants in asylum processes.","PeriodicalId":48229,"journal":{"name":"International Migration Review","volume":"115 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144685137","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}
