This introduction to the special issue provides a critical state-of-the-art of the literature on second-generation migrants which has hitherto subsumed the case of the children of refugees. It highlights the theoretical and methodological orientations taken by the literature and examines the main findings on the second generation's social, educational, economic, cultural and inter-generational lives, before turning to the few findings available on conditions and performances of children of refugees. The editorial concludes by suggesting gaps in our knowledge and areas for future research.
A l'échelle européenne aussi bien que mondiale , les nouvelles mobilités se caractérisent par leur extrême diversité ; derrière chaque migrant se profile presque un type de migration différent. L'effondrement du bloc de l'Est, la fin des interdictions de sortie, la mondialisation... ont suscité de nouveaux facteurs d'attraction et des schémas migratoires qui ne correspondent plus à l'ancienne émigration de travail, ni aux liens traditionnels entre pays de départ et pays d'accueil.
