PREMIG inspired special section of International Migration

Seven articles have now been accepted for publication in the journal International Migration (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1111/%28ISSN%291468-2435) as a special section on return migration and transnationalism. 



This section, guest edited by Jørgen Carling and Marta Bivand Erdal, is based on a selection of papers from the PREMIG workshop ‘Return migration and transnationalism: alternatives or complements?’ (http://www.prio.no/Projects/Extensions/Possibilities-and-realities-of-return-migration-PREMIG/Return-migration-and-transnationalism/?xitem=920&handler=Project). Some of the papers have already been published online (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1111/%28ISSN%291468-2435/earlyview); the remainder will be appearing over the coming months before the print publication next winter:
