How migration and transnational ties interact with societal change during peace and conflict.
How migration and transnational ties interact with societal change during peace and conflict.
The Migration research group addresses central theoretical aspects of migration and transnationalism, and the ways in which these phenomena are connected with peace and conflict. We seek to understand migration processes, the transnational ties created after migration, and their consequences for individuals and societies.
PRIOs migration research is hosted by the PRIO Migration Centre, established in December 2020. The centre has a separate website within the PRIO portal.
