Defining, measuring and influencing sustainable return: the case of the Balkans Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE RETURN MIGRATION RETURNEES RETURNING RESIDENTS DURABLE SOLUTIONS GUARANTEES OF RETURNEES SOCIAL SERVICES LIVELIHOODS LIVING CONDITIONS This paper seeks to provide an overview of recent policy interest in returns globally, as well as to and within the Balkans, before setting out a definition of what might be considered 'sustainable' return in the region. For example, it is possible to draw a distinction between narrow indicators of the 'sustainability' of return, such as whether returnees subsequently re-emigrate after their return, and wider definitions, which see 'sustainability' as including both the extent to which individual returnees are able to reintegrate in their home societies, and the wider impact of return on macro-economic and political indicators. 2026-09-30T11:48:26Z Text Online resource 10.25446/oxford.33354117.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/Defining_measuring_and_influencing_sustainable_return_the_case_of_the_Balkans/33354117 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
