Summary
In this chapter, we make an argument that reentry process and its outcome could be better represented, understood, and explained from a social network perspective. We first review the theories and empirical findings of previous research on reentry using social relations as the binding theme. We then introduce social network analysis and highlight its complementary role to conventional reentry studies. On such basis, an integrated social network theory of reentry is proposed and its various propositions presented. FInally, the implications of this theoretical framework for intercultural training are discussed in detail and suggestions for training design and evaluation are provided.
