在第三国重新安置是保护流离失所者的根本，但提供庇护不仅仅包括允许进入一个国家。在美国，各种安置组织提供抵达服务；但是，重新安置方案支持长期融合的能力受到强调经济自给自足的限制。重新安置实践是由多个重新安置参与者的融合话语塑造的，这是一个包含期望、愿望和“理想”难民融合概念的术语。本文通过考察美国东南部城市的三个组织，探讨了安置机构和难民“第三部门”组织（RTSOs）的工作。与政府对快速“自给自足”的期望不同，RTSOs扩大了在重新安置中提供的庇护。它们为志愿者和难民之间的社会联系提供了机会，并优先考虑社区和关系的形成。然而，这些组织也复制了融合的新自由主义话语，最终限制了扩大难民融合的可能性。
Resettlement in a third country is fundamental in the protection of displaced persons, yet the offer of refuge encompasses more than mere admission into a country. In the US, various resettlement organizations provide arrival services; however, the resettlement programme’s ability to support long-term integration is restricted by an emphasis on economic self-sufficiency. Resettlement practices are shaped by the integration discourses of multiple resettlement actors, a term encompassing expectations, aspirations, and conceptions of ‘ideal’ refugee integration. This article explores the work of resettlement agencies and refugee ‘third sector’ organizations (RTSOs) by examining three organizations in a southeastern US city. Contesting government expectations of rapid ‘self-sufficiency’, RTSOs expand the offer of refuge provided in resettlement. They provide opportunities for social contact between volunteers and refugees and prioritize the formation of community and relationships. However, these organizations also reproduce neoliberal discourses of integration, ultimately constraining possibilities for expanded refugee integration.
