Dear all,
The Refugees Studies Centre at Oxford University has recently published
a strategic overview of current policy trends and future directions in
the forced migration field. You can download the document from:
http://repository.forcedmigration.org/show_metadata.jsp?pid=fmo:5806
It is hoped that this overview will be instrumental in informing the
research agenda, policy priorities and institutional practices of the
wider academic community and policy stakeholders, helping improve
international humanitarian action and conflict prevention, and
addressing the rights and needs of forced migrants.
The following seven interconnected themes were identified as being of
key research interest and of immediate and future relevance to policymakers:
* state fragility and forced migration;
* the economics of forced migration;
* environmental displacement;
* displaced groups with specific needs;
* durable solutions;
* humanitarian space and spaces of protection;
* realising protection: legal and institutional challenges.
The document also identifies areas likely to demand attention in the future.
Prepared by Dr Katy Long, a researcher at the RSC, the document also
benefited from inputs by senior RSC staff and researchers and some
external policy partners of the RSC.
The RSC would welcome receiving your feedback on the relevance and
usefulness of this document. We also encourage you to contact the RSC
should you wish to discuss a specific topic further, share information
