Aligning Sustainable Finance and Fintech to Promote an Integrated Approach to Refugee Finance
The paper aims to assess the global landscape of refugee finance with an overview of global refugee‐related financing mechanisms and instruments. Despite the growing refugee population worldwide, most refugee financing mechanisms are characterized by their post hoc, grant‐based, small‐scale, short‐term, and unpredictable nature. This study will analyze the quantum of refugee finance supplied by different donors and intermediary types, the instrum…
Umma and the nation-state: Dilemmas in Refuge Ethics
This article addresses the question of the Muslim umma (the universal community of Muslims) which arises within the context of the ongoing debates about the status of refugees and their rights around the world, especially in the Muslim world, where a significant majority of migrants and refugees originate and are hosted. We question the existence of the Muslim umma under contemporary circumstances and discuss the extent to which the modern nation…
The Convergence of Migrants and Refugees
The paper addresses the migrant-refugee debate in relation to recent refugee flows from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries gaining unauthorized entry into Europe. This is compared with the accusations (and denials) that the wealthy countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council ( gcc ) states have not accepted any refugees from Syria in particular. It is argued that the definition of migrants and refugees is problematic in that they often co…

Doing Without the Boss: Workers' Control Experiments in Australia in the 1970s
Experiments with workers' control occurred in many countries during the late post-war boom period in circumstances of heightened industrial militancy and a crisis in employer and state authority. They are again popular under different conditions, especially in Argentina and Venezuela. Such episodes demonstrate that labour can exist without capital, whereas capital is always dependent on labour. This essential autonomy of labour from capital is a …

Trafficking and Contract Migrant Workers in the Middle East
The paper addresses a number of issues regarding the extent to which trafficking may be applied to migrant domestic workers who enter under the kafala system of sponsorship in the Middle East. Migrant domestic workers are the most numerous of those mentioned in reports on trafficking for labour exploitation in the region. The discussion seeks to determine whether "trafficking" can be ex post facto, rather than ex ante? In other words, can the lab…
In the Shadows of Family Life
From a series of interviews with Lebanese middle- and upper-class women in their latter years, the paper traces an oral history of domestic service in Lebanon over the past century. The interviews reveal various periods when women and girls were recruited from the local village poor as well from among Syrians, Palestinians, Kurds, Egyptians, and others in accordance with convenience and regional political circumstances. The long-term employment o…
Female Sri Lankan domestic workers in Lebanon: A Case of 'Contract Slavery
Since the early 1990s, there has been a large influx of Sri Lankan women into Lebanon, serving primarily as domestic labour in private households. The Sri Lankan government, as with other countries, has actively encouraged the ‘export’ of domestic labour as it has become the largest single source of foreign revenue for the country. As part of the feminisation of international migration and trafficking in human labour, both the employment relation…
L'échec de la protection de l'État: Les domestiques étrangers au Liban
Cet article présente en introduction une vue d'ensemble de la migration des employés domestiques au Moyen-Orient de 1970 jusqu'à nos jours. Au Liban, cette migration, venues essentiellement du Sri Lanka et des Philippines, a connu un important développement à partir de 1990 au lendemain des 15 années de guerre civile. Remplaçant les femmes et les jeunes filles arabes qui occupaient ces emplois avant la guerre, on peut avancer que ces migrantes, d…
Life Insurance, the Medical Examination and Cultural Values
This paper is concerned with the commodification of the risk of death which occurred with the development of life insurance and with the role of the medical examination in making life insurance a viable commodity. Using British and Australian data, it shows how the medical profession and the medical examination were crucial to nineteenth century life insurance institutions in the calculation of the value of human lives. Life insurance institution…
