What aids the successful integration of migrants? Most works focus on the host state’s policies and goals, but belonging is an interactive process. I examine how migrant beliefs about national belonging – how they see membership in the host society and their relative place in it – shape their integration trajectories. I focus on North Korean refugees in South Korea, a case of co-ethnic integration that naturally controls for many confounders of successful integration and offers a hard test for whether migrant beliefs matter. By combining refugee personal narratives with survey data on their integration outcomes, I develop a theory of how refugees’ own belonging ideals act as a perceptual lens that shapes their psychological receptiveness to the host state’s integration efforts. This migrant-centric approach sheds light on why certain kinds of integration programs are effective in some places, but not others, and how the belonging aspirations of migrants – beyond their demographic or origin attributes – matter to integration.
