Glossary

Successful collaboration begins with a shared language, hence the need for a glossary. This joint effort of contributors from several teams ensures, on the one hand, terminological and conceptual coherence across not only our theoretical approaches, but also the qualitative case studies and quantitative research conducted in OPPORTUNITIES. On the other hand, our glossary facilitates communication between the academic side of the project and the fieldwork conducted by NGOs, uniting our teams working from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ghana, Italy, Mauritania, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania and Senegal.

Family reunification

Family reunification is a procedure allowing for the durable settlement of family members (spouse and child) who have come to join a third country whose nationality they do not possess. For example, the first migrations of Senegalese women to France, Spain, and Italy were strongly marked by family reunification.
