This project explores the ethics and methods of research in diverse forced migration contexts and proposes new ways of thinking about and documenting displacement. Contributors reflect honestly on both what has worked and what has not, providing useful points of discussion for future research by both established and emerging researchers.

Migration flows from the territory of Macedonia have developed and changed throughout different historical periods. After the disintegration of Yugoslavia, migration flows from Macedonia differ significantly from traditional forms of migration. The most characteristic examples are the migration of highly skilled and educated persons or brain drain, migration flows caused by the introduction and liberalization of the visa regime within the European Union and the increased mobility of the population caused mainly by the effects of globalization. Despite these migratory movements, Macedonia witnesses a reverse migration flow as well, i.e. Return migration in the country of origin. Although the number of return migrants does not exceed those of migrants from Macedonia, this phenomenon, however, has incited our research interest. This paper will analyze the benefits of returning migrants and their role in the society and it will present several examples of successful migrant returnees and their economic activities in Macedonia. The research, besides the presentation of the qualitative results from a minor study, aims to encourage further research in the area, and to open a debate on the problems of migration in Macedonia.Keywords: RETURNING EMIGRANTS, MIGRATION, REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA

AbstractWhen it comes to field research in contexts of forced migration, many of the challenges relate to questions of power. Most research is plagued by a power imbalance between those who call themselves 'researcher' or 'technical expert' and the forced migrants who participate in the research in various ways. This Special Section considers how this imbalance influences the production of research and how we might address the challenges created by research practices that are exclusionary, even if unwittingly so. What, for example, are the politics of designing methods for research with/on refugees? What kinds of negotiations and gatekeeping take place in determining the assemblage of actors involved in crafting and carrying out the research? Who has a seat at the table to design the research, interpret results, and write up outcomes? The three contributing articles that follow this introduction each discuss strategies the authors deployed, i.e. how they attempted to upend dominant research practices by centreing the voices of migrants and refugees, and re-balancing power inequities. In this article, we offer an introduction to how this Special Section conceptualizes power in the context of research with forced migrants.

"Der Beitrag geht einführend auf den Begriff 'Internationale Migration' und ihre verschiedenen Formen ein. Die konzeptionellen Überlegungen begreifen Migration als Prozess, der sich vereinfachend in drei Phasen gliedert: das Aufkommen der Bereitschaft und die Entscheidung zur Migration, die Suche nach einem möglichen Ziel und der Entschluss, ob und welches Haushaltsmitglied letztendlich migriert, sowie die soziale Einbindung am Zielort. Von grundlegender Bedeutung für diesen Prozess ist das mikrotheoretische Konzept des Standortnutzens, das es zugleich erlaubt, z.B. makro- und mikroökonomische Bedingungen, historisch gewachsene Verflechtungen zwischen Staaten, den sozialen Kontext im Herkunfts- wie Zielland oder bestehende Migrantennetzwerke in die Darstellung des komplexen Entscheidungsprozess einfließen zu lassen. Die Zusammenfassung ausgewählter theoretischer Ansätze zur Erklärung internationaler Migration schließt den Beitrag ab. Dabei hat das Phänomen der Transnationalität auch im Hinblick auf Handlungsempfehlungen einen übergeordneten Stellenwert inne." (Autorenreferat)
