Presentation

The Revue Européenne des Migrations Internationales (REMI) was launched in 1985 by Gildas Simon. It publishes both empirical and theoretical research works related to international migrations and interethnic relations. While Europe remains the spatial framework of reference, the journal is also open to other areas and migratory systems throughout the world.

Since the late 1990s, the growing framing of migration in terms of security risks in destination countries has been the subject of extensive literature, particularly in the fields of political science and critical geography. Surprisingly, however, the social sciences have paid very little attention to migrants’ perceptions of migration risks, unlike migration economics, which quickly addressed this question, making risk and its management by migrant populations a crucial component of migratory rationalities. The topical collection “On the Roads of Migration: Circulations, Risk, and the Managing of Uncertainty” aims to address this gap within the field of social sciences. The contributions acknowledge the predominant role of risks in the migratory experience and seek to initiate a structured reflection on this hyper-central yet neglected aspect of mobility trials. In response to this observation, they lay down an initial series of empirical and theoretical foundations to chart this research field, relying on case studies rooted in diverse geographical areas—French Guiana, the northern French coastline, the Île-de-France region, and Southeast Asia—and focusing on various populations, including asylum seekers, Roma populations, and migrant workers.
