Sustainability of Return and (Re)Integration for Roma Returnees under Readmission Agreements in Serbia: Transnational and Gender Aspects
Research on migrants’ integration has traditionally focused on the process of immigrants becoming part of host societies, while the process of (re)integration in the country of origin has been understudied. This applies to the return of the minorities in particular. This project focuses on (re)integration of the Roma returnees under readmission agreements in Serbia, and factor in the strong involvement of the (former) host countries (primarily Germany) in the reintegration projects in the country of origin. Starting from the concept of ’mixed embeddedness’ (Van Houte and Davids 2008), this project analyses transnational and gendered aspects of the reintegration projects conducted by the national and international organizations, in particular in the sphere of employment.
