The Refugee Studies Centre (RSC) has published two Forced Migration
Policy Briefings.
The most recent policy briefing addresses 'Development assistance and
refugees - Towards a North-South grand bargain?', and is written by RSC
Research Associate Dr Alexander Betts (Director of the Global Migration
Governance Project, Department of Politics and International Relations,
University of Oxford).
This policy brief examines the role that development assistance can play
in enhancing refugee protection and overcoming protracted refugee
situations. It argues that an integrated development approach,
supporting both refugees and local host communities, can be a 'win-win'
solution for both Northern donors and Southern hosts, while
simultaneously benefiting refugees.
In November 2008, the first of these papers, by RSC Director Professor
Roger Zetter, in collaboration with Dr Camillo Boano and Dr Tim Morris
was launched, addressing the question of 'Environmentally displaced
people: Understanding the linkages between environmental change,
livelihoods and forced migration'.
The RSC Forced Migration Policy Briefings highlight the very best and
latest policy-relevant research findings from the fields of forced
migration and humanitarian studies by providing a forum in which
academic researchers, humanitarian practitioners, international lawyers
and policy makers may share evidence, experience, best practice and
innovation on the broad range of critical issues that arise at the
intersection of forced migration and humanitarian intervention.
