Call For Papers: Special Issue: Environmentally Induced Displacement (29.2)
REFUGEvol. 29(2)
Special Issue: Environmentally InducedDisplacement
Guest Editors:  Pablo S. Bose and Elizabeth Lunstrum 
 
This special issue will explore the phenomenon of environmentally induced 
displacement (EID).  From climate change to extractive industries, from 
‘natural’ disasters to increased urbanization, from conservation to 
mega-projects, landscapes and peoples’ place on them are being 
transformed at an unprecedented scale across the globe.  We suggest that these 
as well as many other processes provoke specific forms of 
environmentally induced displacement and forced migration, confronting 
communities with the loss of their land and other vital resources.  Many of the 
most affected groups are often vulnerable to begin with, lacking secure rights 
and access to resources and to formal recourse once these are jeopardized.  
This special issue explores the phenomenon of EID 
through both conceptual as well as empirical work.  We invite 
submissions that address a range of questions such as: What constitutes 
environmental displacement?  What practices and discourses help to 
organize and rationalize these processes?  What are the demographic 
impacts of environmental displacement?  How have various local and 
international actors responded to environmentally induced displacement?  What 
are some of the definitional debates regarding ‘environmental 
refugees’ and their place within the international protection system?
Successful submissions may come from a wide range of conceptual backgrounds 
concerned with environmentally induced displacement. A variety of 
research interests will be explored with the objective of providing 
theoretical and practical insights on matters such as adaptation and 
internal coping strategies, livelihoods and sustainable development, 
prevention prospects, disaster risk management, regional concerns, 
cross-border legal implications, humanitarian responses, state action 
and inaction, and environmentally induced versus other forms of 
displacement (e.g. conflict, developmental, etc).
Contributions 
may be submitted either in English or French and will be published in 
the language of submission. They should generally not exceed 7500 words, or 30 
double-spaced pages, and must be typed and submitted in 
electronic form. All submissions are subject to a double-blind peer 
review process by independent experts. Shorter papers, including 
commentaries and book reviews, are also welcome. REFUGE adheres to the 
Chicago Manual of Style for social science papers and to the Canadian 
Guide to Uniform Legal Citation for papers in the legal discipline (see style  
guide for details). Papers must be prepared with full citation endnotes rather 
than with a bibliography. Papers should include an abstract of 
approximately 100-150 words, highlighting the central arguments and/or 
findings of the paper. Papers should also include 1-2 sentences 
indicating institutional affiliation. Comme indiqué ci-dessus, nous 
publions également des articles en français. Le format doit être 
conforme aux normes exigées pour les articles rédigés en anglais.
 
Submission Deadline: February 28, 2013
