This book analyses the sociocultural adaptation and integration of temporary and permanent migrants and refugees, its chapters are based on empirical and documental research. Three chapters focus on the social and cultural relationships of international students. The first deals with the role of romantic relationships in the sociocultural integration of these temporary migrants in Brazil. The following chapters describe and analyse the friendships of Latin American graduate students in Brazil after returning to their home countries and how these are related to international scientific cooperation. Another study on temporary migrants reports the adaptation and integration of expatriated workers from an interpersonal perspective. The last four chapters are based on the international literature on refugees approaching the family structure and dynamics in refugee camps and friendships of encamped refugees, based on African, Asian, and European refugee camps. The participation of friends is also analysed in the refugees’ first stages of displacement, during their migration journey, upon arrival and the initial settlement in a new country. Finally, refugees’ social and cultural integration in Africa, Asia, and Europe are discussed. Throughout the book, the interpersonal dimensions of social processes are emphasized. This book is aimed at students and researchers in Psychology and Family Studies, Sociology, Communication Studies, Anthropology, and others.
