Abstract:

This article analyses four emerging refugee support organisations in Austria, founded before the so-called refugee crisis in 2015. It argues that these organisations have managed to occupy a middle space between mainstream NGOs and social movements with structures of inclusive governance, a high degree of autonomy, personalised relationships with refugees, and radical critique combined with service delivery. Based on interviews with the founders of each organisation, we show that their previous NGO and social movement experience formed a springboard for the new initiatives. It not only allowed

AbstractDuring the First World War the survival of hundreds of thousands of Latvian refugees, dispersed across the Russian Empire, overlapped with issues of identity. Latvians in Siberia and the Far East created a refugee organisation complete with military, diplomatic and cultural programmes for themselves and their homeland. The key players attempted to recreate the same organisational trajectories and outcomes during the Second World War, under very different geopolitical conditions.

Abstract:

Abstract Recent debates on “refugee participation” and the “localisation” of refugee programmes have focused on the potential role of refugee-led organisations. In this article, we explore the engagement of humanitarian actors with South Sudanese refugees in Gambella (western Ethiopia) in order to problematise this focus. There are no formally registered refugee-led organisations in Gambella. Community organisations operating in the region tend to be informal, highly decentralised, networked, transnational, fluid, and under-bureaucratised. They are organisations that strictly hierarchical, cen

AbstractIn 1937, bitter and brutal fighting raged for three months in and around the city, with intense bombardment from ships and planes.

In the first part, I argue that 1937 created an entirely new situation no authority was prepared to meet because of the scope of the population exodus and to the actual blockade of the city. The

The resettlement of «Displaced Persons» after the Second World War by the International Refugee Organization (IRO) has popularly been presented as a success story by the authorities.

The article aims to shed light on this largely unexplored episode in Swiss history. It seeks to understand Switzerland's humanitarian involvement not only on a structural but also on an individual level by complementing the federal sources with several refugee case histor

In focusing on the solidarity discourses emerging from the grassroots, this article hopes to show how these groups seek to re-politicise the question of refugees

To illustrate this point, I draw on Liisa Malkki’s Purity and exile and my own work on exile camps administered by the South West African People’s Organisa

The aim of this paper is to explore how trauma-informed care is understood by Group Pregnancy Care professional staff. An exploratory descriptive qualitative study involving twenty-three semi-structured interviews with past and present professional staff was

Abstract:

The State adopted the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR) in 2018 to consolidate the International Refugee Protection Regime (IRPR). Drawing on International Relations (IR) theories and international law, different perspectives can be taken on the nature of the GCR and the IRPR, and their legal and non-legal relationship. The lack of a universally accepted definition for the IRPR allows for various interpretations, ranging from narrow positivism to broad global governance and self-organisation approaches. Similarly, the legal status of the GCR can be seen as non-law, soft law, or fully binding la

Abstract From 2014 to 2015, the number of asylum applications increased by 155 per cent in Germany, which has severely altered Germany’s refugee response system. This article analyses resulting local-level changes in the protection standards for refugees. It sheds light on the interplay between municipal and organisational actors in implementing protections concepts and measures for refugee accommodations. The study applies a neo-institutional research framework to explain organisational behaviour at the level of non-governmental organisations and public administration asking how the security

Abstract:

Summary Africa is home to millions of displaced persons–IDPs and refugees–a trend that has its genesis in the pre-independence armed struggles and is currently perpetuated by internal conflicts that plague most parts of the continent. Although the challenge has been a permanent phenomenon since the days of the Organisation of African Unity, the continental organization, now the African Union, has failed to craft a response strategy that addresses both forced displacement and the conundrum of protracted refugee situations. This article argues for a policy reformulation that situates the problem

Abstract:

Resilience and empowerment are concepts that recently have become popularised in the world of forced displacement management policy and practice. Often undervalued and dismissed as being buzzwords, these concepts have become bound up in the burgeoning study of higher education in refugee contexts. This article explores these themes in the frame of a real-world experience of studying a blended learning medical studies course in Kakuma refugee camp and the impact it has had on an individual’s life and that of his community. Building on the academic discourse, we present a case study of the indiv

A detailed understanding of the mental health needs of people from refugee backgrounds is crucial for the design of inclusive mental health technologies. We present a qualitative account of the digital mental health experiences of women from refugee backgrounds. Working with community members and community workers of a charitable organisation for refugee women in the UK, we identify social and structural challenges, including loneliness and access to mental health technologies.

Case studies from the publicity materials of four advocacy organisations, as well as the ‘internal’ talk of their staff, volunteers and beneficiaries collected via Narrative Biographical Interviews, are analysed using discourse analytic methods, specifically Membership Categorisation Analysis.

Abstract:

One way to interpret the organisation of refugee welcome in Europe is by thinking about the tension between the official response and the grassroots response to the events. This tension has evolved in different ways in different countries, but in general it is possible to distinguish between a bureaucratic tendency to abstract welcome into a specific problem or policy domain, and a different, often opposite, tendency to welcome in spontaneous, solidaristic and autonomous ways. Starting from the premise that welcome necessarily entails more than simply permitting entry and is inherently emotion

Abstract:

In 1970, Canada decided to develop its relations with Latin America, especially in the economic sector. Adhesion to the Interamerican Bank of Development and the status of observator in the Organisation of American States was a good institutional basis for increasing these relations. However, the absence of objectives on refugee and immigration questions prevented adoption of a clear policy towards Chilian and Haitian refugees. Generally Canada had met the 1970 objectives. Trade increased substantially, partly as a result of Canadian policies, but also because of the development of the main co

Feminist scholarship has often been profoundly ambivalent about maternalist political mobilisations, seeing them as posing dangers of essentialising motherhood and of colluding with male-centred social orders, conservative politics and top-down state projects.

Abstract:

From its inception, hospitality was inscribed in the vision of the English P.E.N., one of its stipulated aims being to provide a ‘vehicle for friendliness and hospitality’. Yet several writers who took leading administrative and representational roles during the 1930s and 1940s – Storm Jameson, E. M. Forster and J. B. Priestley, for example – were uncomfortable with the kinds of hospitality the P.E.N. sometimes purported to offer. They were concerned about the wartime propriety of elaborate lunches, dinners and parties. At the same time, this was an organisation that also tirelessly advocated

Therefore, the level at which organisations self-organise, network and adapt to the dynamic operational environment may be related to inter-organisational coordination. The authors studied self-organisation, organisational networks and adaptability as important and often overlooked organisational factors hypothesised to be related to inter-organisational coordination in the context of human

Abstract This paper examines the practice of using capoeira for psychosocial support at the Za’atari Refugee camp through the work of the Jordanian non-profit organisation Capoeira al-Shababi. It explores the role of body practices involving humour, performance and synchrony on the development of feelings of belonging among Syrian children and youth. The work suggests that the capoeira class succeeded in holding the necessary space for vulnerability, which is the key reason why the participants described a bodily connection with each other and the feeling that the group was a family.

This article offers new insights into the discursive structuring of legal advice communication. Drawing on interactional data from eight legal advice meetings between one immigration lawyer and several different clients concerning the reunification of refugee families, the article employs communicative activity type (CAT) as a meso-level analytical approach to reveal the dynamically structured discursive organisation of these meetings. I show that whilst the stable discursive structure of the legal advice meeting evident in these data broadly confirms existing pedagogic models of legal advice
