Displaced person(s): The Production of a Powerful Political Category
Plausible Enough’: The IRO and the Negotiation of Refugee Status After the Second World War
National Socialism, the Second World War, Stalinism, the expansion of the Soviet Union, and other political crises in Europe led to millions of people fleeing or being abducted in the 1930s and 1940s. The ‘European refugee problem’ led to the establishment of several international organizations. With the founding of the International Refugee Organization (IRO) in 1946, the concept of refugees changed. For the first time, those that had previously…
Rethinking the Postwar International Migration Regime from the Global South: Venezuela in a Global History of White Immigration
Between 1947 and early 1952, the International Refugee Organization (IRO), which was established within the framework of the United Nations to “solve” the so-called European refugee problem after the end of the Second World War, resettled one million European refugees—victims of Nazism as well as East European refugees who escaped the Red Army—all over the world. The IRO's resettlement project is regarded as a blueprint for the establishment of t…

Der dominante öffentliche Diskurs stützt sich dabei elementar auf die Prämisse, dass sich die ehemals „friedvolle Nation“ in ein Schlachtfeld alltäglicher Kriminalität verwandelt habe. Auf der Basis dieser Prämisse wachsen die gesellschaftliche Angst und der Ruf nach der harten Hand des Staates und es entsteht ein zunehmendes Einvers…
Contemporary Discourses On Violence in Central American Newspapers
It is commonly understood that criminal violence has superseded political violence in Central America. Focusing on the social construction of violent realities in Costa Rica, El Salvador and Nicaragua, the authors describe the print media landscape in Central America and examine both the quality of leading newspapers and the main clusters of topics constituting the news discourse on violence. The analysis of the macro-structure of topic managemen…
A history of nonviolence? The social construction of Costa Rican peaceful identity
Crime, violence, and insecurity are among the most important social topics in contemporary Costa Rica. These three issues play a central role in the media, politics, and everyday life, and the impression has emerged that security has changed for the worse and that society is now permanently threatened. However, crime statistics do not support this perception. The paper thus asks why violence and crime generate such huge fear in society. The thesi…
