Researchers and policy-makers have a limited understanding of the ways in which conflicts overseas are affecting communities in the UK, except when there are substantial flows of asylum seekers and migrants from conflict regions. Yet globalisation has intensified and changed the international connections of UK communities. This research studied the impact of conflict on communities in the UK from three areas: Afghanistan/Pakistan, the Great Lakes region (Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Uganda) and the western Balkans. The report: • looks at why some communities are affected more by overseas conflict than others; • examines six detailed case studies of communities affected by overseas conflict; • assesses how different communities challenge assumptions of mainstream society about particular conflicts; and • considers the ways in which service providers at national and local level can support communities affected by overseas conflict.

This book draws renewed attention to migration into and within Africa, and to the socio-political consequences of these movements. In doing so, it complements vibrant scholarly and political discussions of migrant integration globally with innovative, interdisciplinary perspectives focused on migration within Africa. It sheds new light on how human mobility redefines the meaning of home, community, citizenship and belonging. The authors ask how people's movements within the continent are forging novel forms of membership while catalysing social change within the communities and countries to which they move and which they have left behind. Original case studies from across Africa question the concepts, actors, and social trajectories dominant in the contemporary literature. Moreover, it speaks to and challenges sociological debates over the nature of migrant integration, debates largely shaped by research in the world's wealthy regions
