Replication Data for: Bridging the gap between new refugees’ integration processes and their future mobility intentions

In this chapter we draw attention to the importance of a longitudinal and transnational perspective on integration processes and mobility aspirations of refugees. While there is substantial scholarly attention for the settlement success of immigrants and refugees, such research often assumes that the country of residence is the final destination, that migrants wish to integrate into said country and that their objectives are pre-determined, well-defined and fixed over time. We ask ourselves the question what happens if we were to consider simultaneously the dynamic nature of integration processes, the potential variations in the future mobility intentions of refugees and the changing social, political and economic conditions in the countries of origin and residence. To inspire our reflections, we draw on recent empirical evidence on the early integration processes, attitudes and intentions of Syrian refugees in the Netherlands.
