The last decade has seen an important transformation in international migration: not only have migration flows increased and origins/destinations multiplied but it has also become particularly difficult to distinguish between migrants (moving for economic reasons) and refugees (fleeing persecution and violence).
The Journal of Immigrant & Refugee Studies is a double-anonymized, peer-reviewed publication, interdisciplinary and international in scope. It is unique in its character as it covers both migration and refugee studies, with a truly global coverage, across continents and topics. The journal publishes full-length theoretical and empirical research discussing migration governance, migrant/refugee integration, and related policies and practices. The journal privileges international and comparative perspectives but also accepts case studies focusing on specific groups, regions, or countries. Both quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches are welcome.
The journal does not have a book review column and does not accept review articles unless there has been a prior agreement with the Editor in Chief.
