Return Migration
Journey of Hope or Despair?

Return Migration addresses major issues of return migration, with a focus on the problematic return of irregular migrants, rejected asylum seekers and temporary refugees. Using a historical retrospective and an analytical overview of current policies as well as programmes, the book examines issues such as protection of human rights of returnees and linkages between return and development. Specific regional focus is given to Central and Eastern Europe, examining some of the major policy issues and operational challenges it is facing. Return Migration is an incomparable tool for policy makers, academics, professionals and the general public alike, interested in developing a fair, predictable and open migration system.
