Long neglected in migration studies, return migration has been the subject of an increasing number of studies, surveys and publications over the past two decades. This introduction to the special issue “Transnationalizing Return” traces the development of a specific field of research on return in the various disciplines of the social sciences, before presenting the multidisciplinary approach that has driven this editorial project. The five articles, the interview and the conclusion composing this issue are then presented, as well as the conceptual elements constituting return, which are discussed in the light of these contributions. Finally, this introduction discusses the conceptual transformations and contemporary issues in research on return migration, looking back at the role of (inter-)governmental organizations on the one hand, and the socio economic consequences of the coronavirus-related health crisis on the other hand, in defining the research agenda on this subject in the coming years.
