When the displaced return: challenges to 'reintegration' in Angola

This paper defines reintegration as a process that displacement-affected persons undergo which is characterized by human security and individual perceptions of inclusion and belonging to a place. Building upon this definition, this paper suggests that both institutional and individual factors must exist in order for reintegration to occur. Contingent upon political will from both the national government and the international community, institutional factors are discussed using the framework of human security.
