Asunto: Call for articles for the FMR - North Africa and displacement 2011-2012
Dear all,
sorry for any cross posting. Call for articles for the FMR
http://www.fmreview.org/north-africa/
Deadline for submission of articles: 2nd April 2012
Migration in various forms has been part of the popular uprisings that spread
across North Africa and the Middle East in 2011. The people of these countries
fled from their homes, from conflict around them, both within their own
countries and into neighbouring ones. They found themselves unexpectedly in
need of protection and assistance from host communities, governments and
humanitarian agencies. Those who were already migrants or refugees in the
countries of North Africa faced perhaps even greater difficulties and renewed
insecurity.
Some of those displaced fled across the Mediterranean Sea, migrants and
refugees crammed together in often unseaworthy boats. Media coverage of their
flight revived the powerful rhetoric of invasion in Europe while the varying
welcomes they received reflected the continuing ambivalence of Western states’
responses to those fleeing from North Africa. Migrant workers in North Africa
have been forced by the conflicts to return unexpectedly and unwillingly to
their own countries where they have none of the special rights of displaced
people.
Finally, the numerous dissidents returning from exile give an indication of the
involvement of diaspora organisations in the uprisings and raise interesting
questions on the role they will play in the creation and consolidation of new
state institutions.
This issue of FMR will focus on North Africa rather than the ‘Arab Spring’ more
generally. It will explore the broader ramifications of the ways in which human
mobility is intersecting with current events in North Africa and how these
events have affected and transformed existing patterns of mobility in the
region and generated new ‘mixed migration’ flows. As a result of the crises,
economic migrants have become forced migrants, forced migrants followed
irregular migration channels in their search for survival, while others –
including seasonal and long-established migrants – have become ‘involuntarily
immobile’.
This issue of FMR will link in with a workshop on the Arab Spring which is
taking place on 20th March in Oxford, organised jointly by the Refugee Studies
Centre, the International Migration Institute and the Oxford Diasporas
Programme (details at
www.rsc.ox.ac.uk/events/arab-spring-workshop<http://www.fmreview.org/north-africa/www.rsc.ox.ac.uk/events/arab-spring-workshop>).
This issue of FMR will address questions such as the following:
* How have events across North Africa changed the situation for refugees
already in or contemplating going to or through the countries of North Africa?
* How are the new regimes dealing with people internally displaced in the
events of 2011-12?
* How have the countries of North Africa dealt with people fleeing into them
from neighbouring North African countries?
* Have the events of 2011-12 changed the way that Algeria and Morocco treat
refugees and displaced people?
* What have the knock-on effects of the events in North Africa been on the
EU’s policies and practices towards forced and other migrants coming from or
through North Africa?
* How have migrant workers in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia been affected by the
events of 2011-12?
* Who is responsible for migrant workers displaced in the country in which
they work?
* What has been the role of the diasporas?
* What enabled, and can be learned from, the close cooperation specifically
between UNHCR and IOM?
* What are the challenges that have been thrown up by the events of 2011-12
to the legal and conceptual categories of migrant?
* What challenges are presented by the role of armed non-state actors in the
region, and what is needed to support capacity building for the future in
relation to human mobility?
* How effective and how politically constrained have the humanitarian
responses been in North Africa? How did security concerns constrain the
humanitarian response?
* How effective was the inclusion of migration outcomes in NATO’s military
planning?
Deadline for submission of articles: 2nd April 2012
Maximum length: 2,500 words.
We are particularly keen to reflect the experiences and knowledge of
communities and individuals directly affected by these questions.
