Beyond choice or force: Roma mobility in Albania and the mixed migration paradigm
Beyond choice or force: Roma mobility in Albania and the mixed migration paradigm
One of the dichotomies which has affected migration studies for some time is that between ‘forced’ and ‘voluntary’ movements. Yet, there is growing realisation of the importance of understanding how the two overlap. Focusing on the Albanian Roma this paper seeks to add weight to the argument that a ‘mixed migration’ approach is necessary to understand a number of migratory situations which do not neatly fit the forced/voluntary categorisation. The paper draws on empirical material collected through household questionnaires, in-depth interviews, group discussions and ethnographic observation during 2007?2008 within the framework of a broader study on gender, remittances and development in Albania

Abstract
One of the dichotomies which has affected migration studies for some time is that between ‘forced’ and ‘voluntary’ movements. Yet, there is growing realisation of the importance of understanding how the two overlap. Focusing on the Albanian Roma this paper seeks to add weight to the argument that a ‘mixed migration’ approach is necessary to understand a number of migratory situations which do not neatly fit the forced/voluntary categorisation. The paper draws on empirical material collected through household questionnaires, in-depth interviews, group discussions and ethnographic observation during 2007?2008 within the framework of a broader study on gender, remittances and development in Albania
