In the past few years, governmental agencies have developed a diverse repertoire of migration-management measures to steer migration flows and discipline unwanted migration. Migration-information campaigns have become a prominent tool aimed at communicating directly to migration aspirations of the targeted population in transit and sending countries. Through these information campaigns the geographical locus of control is shifted toward where the receiving state seeks to steer migration flows. This review paper is a research synthesis on literature engaging with migration-information campaigns. The study is based on 17 peer-reviewed journal articles from the years 2010–2020. Articles were coded based on discipline, type of research, research perspective, geographic origin and focus of the campaigns, objectives and rationale of the campaigns, tools and methods used in those campaigns, campaign funding, actor constellations, and a general assessment of each article. Findings from this study identify prominent trends as well as blind spots in the current research and indicate that there is still little research available on information campaigns concerning irregular migration, and even fewer studies report on their effectiveness. By implication future research is advised to focus on empirical studies on the impact of information campaigns on migrants' aspirations.

通过移民信息运动规范移民愿望：文献系统回顾

在过去几年中，政府机构制定了一系列多样化的移民管理措施，以引导移民流动并惩戒不受欢迎的移民。移民信息运动已成为一个重要的工具，旨在直接与过境国和输出国的目标人群的移民愿望进行交流。通过这些宣传活动，地理控制点转向接收国寻求引导移民流动的地方。这篇评论论文是对涉及移民信息运动的文献的研究综合。该研究基于 2010-2020 年的 17 篇同行评审期刊文章。文章根据学科、研究类型、研究视角、地理起源和运动重点、运动目标和原理进行编码，这些活动中使用的工具和方法、活动资金、演员星座以及对每篇文章的一般评估。这项研究的结果确定了当前研究中的突出趋势和盲点，并表明关于非正常移民信息运动的研究仍然很少，报告其有效性的研究更少。暗示未来的研究应侧重于关于信息运动对移民愿望的影响的实证研究。这项研究的结果确定了当前研究中的突出趋势和盲点，并表明关于非正常移民的信息运动的研究仍然很少，报告其有效性的研究更少。暗示未来的研究应侧重于关于信息运动对移民愿望的影响的实证研究。这项研究的结果确定了当前研究中的突出趋势和盲点，并表明关于非正常移民的信息运动的研究仍然很少，报告其有效性的研究更少。暗示未来的研究应侧重于关于信息运动对移民愿望的影响的实证研究。
