Global refugee policy | Refugee Studies Centre Public Seminar Series, Trinity term 2015
www.rsc.ox.ac.uk/trinity-2015
Beginning Wednesday, 29 April
All seminars take place at 5pm in Seminar Room 1, 3 Mansfield Road, Oxford Department of International Development. No registration is required* and all are welcome to attend.
Global refugee policy is a formal statement of, and proposed course of action in response to, a 'problem' relating to protection, solutions or assistance for refugees or other persons of concern to the global refugee regime. It is discussed and approved within UNHCR's governing structures, and is intended to either limit the behaviour of governments or guide UNHCR's activities. Despite the time and resources invested in the making, implementation and evaluation of global refugee policy, and concerns about the elements and implications of particular policies, our understanding of the process that leads to these policies at the global level, and factors affecting their implementation at the local level, is surprisingly limited.
Building on discussions at the RSC's 30th Anniversary Conference and the December 2014 Special Issue of Journal of Refugee Studies on the topic, this seminar series will examine particular aspects of the global refugee policy process to further our understanding of how global refugee policy is made, implemented and evaluated, and the extent to which a more critical understanding of this process contributes to our ability to influence outcomes.
We also have the Annual Elizabeth Colson Lecture this term, further details on which will be announced shortly.
