目前因战争和冲突而流离失所的人比以往任何时候都多，许多人流离失所数十年。因此，人们对促进稳定的、甚至是永久的解决办法越来越感兴趣。这些解决方案的成功在一定程度上取决于难民融入新社区的程度。最广义的融合是指在经济和社会方面的包容和参与。虽然重点往往是难民如何转变以融入社会，但成功的融入社会需要一个支持包容和参与的社会环境。这一特刊的重点是国际、国家、区域和地方各级的定居政策如何通过影响社会环境而支持或阻碍融合。这些政策不仅直接限制经济和社会参与，而且有意或无意地影响社区态度，从而影响社会环境。这一特刊的文章探讨了政策对整个移徙过程中社会背景的影响，从寻求庇护和难民营到在新国家重新定居或返回原籍国，沿着这一过程。这些文章来自一系列学科和国家，但出现的一个共同主题是政策如何塑造难民身份，刻板印象和互动，从而影响社区的欢迎。这些文章阐明了政策和倡议的重要性，这些政策和倡议挑战了我们对难民作为成功融合的一个重要因素的态度和信念。
More people are currently displaced from their homes by war and conflict than ever previously recorded, and many are displaced for decades. As a result, there is increasing interest in promoting stable, if not permanent, solutions. The success of these solutions is in part evaluated by how well refugees are integrating into their new communities. Integration, in its broadest sense, refers to inclusion and participation, both economically and socially. Although the focus is often on how refugees change to integrate, successful integration requires a social context that supports inclusion and participation. The focus of this special issue is on the ways in which policies of settlement at the international, national, regional, and local level support or hinder integration by affecting the social context. These policies can affect the social context by directly limiting economic and social participation, but also by intentionally or unintentionally shaping community attitudes. The articles in this special issue consider the impact of policies on the social context along the entire migration pathway, from asylum seeking and refugee camps, to resettlement in new countries or return to countries of origin. The articles come from a range of disciplines and countries but a common theme that emerges is how policies shape refugee identities, stereotypes and interactions in ways that then affect community welcome. These articles shed light on the importance of policies and initiatives that challenge our attitudes and beliefs about refugees as an important element for successful integration.
