Social Assistance and Forced Displacement
Social protection is a well-accepted means to tackle poverty. This article focuses on social assistance, one aspect of social protection primarily involving non-contributory transfers, in cash or in-kind. Forcibly displaced people, particularly those displaced across international borders, have typically been excluded from state-provided social assistance. This has begun to change. In addition, informal sources of social assistance—community orga…
A pragmatic approach to ethical research collaboration with Indigenous communities
It is paramount that research relevant to Indigenous communities be conducted in partnership with them through free and prior informed consent. Historically, much research was extractive in nature, performed without Indigenous community consent, and often applied a deficit-framing. Some academic professional societies have developed guidelines for ethically conducting research with Indigenous communities to avoid these unethical practices. Howeve…
Beyond rights-based social protection for refugees
The use of social protection measures has garnered increasing attention in recent years from academics and policymakers aspiring to unite the humanitarian origins and development ambitions of displacement governance regimes. Much of this attention has been focused on establishing and strengthening national systems of social protection provision. Analysis of policy approaches to social protection has become increasingly detailed, but typically doe…
Cultural Resilience in the Face of globalization
You Won’t Find Religion Here
This article considers why despite mass displacement significantly affecting people from Muslim majority countries, Islamic understandings of refuge, protection and assistance remain de‐centered and made peripheral in formulations of asylum and refuge. The paper begins with an interrogation of how knowledge production on Muslim life‐worlds a priori gives emphasis to certain essential characteristics identified as Muslim. It is argued that this co…
Community protocols for researchers
A classification of cultural engagements in community technology design
Indigenous perceptions of climate anomalies in Malaysian Borneo
Neighbourliness, conviviality, and the sacred in Athens’ refugee squats
To better understand the range of possibilities and opportunities for (co)existence available to displacement‐affected people, attention must be given to the thick webs of sociality shaping interactions in situations of mass displacement. This paper makes the case that refugee squats in Athens are distinct spaces wherein different understandings of (co)existence converge – spaces whose production is contingent on support from neighbourly relation…
The New Humanitarians in International Practice
One of the key takeaways from the ‘grand bargain’ struck at the World Humanitarian Summit in 2016 was the need to enhance engagement between development and humanitarian actors. This was in part due to the recognition of the plethora of actors now operating in the humanitarian field or what the editors of this volume refer to as the humanitarian arena. It is getting crowded there, and humanitarians find themselves torn between wanting to limit th…
Islamic Traditions of Refuge in the Crises of Iraq and Syria
This book considers positions refugees take relative to the state, humanitarian actors and faith-based organisations in the humanitarian field. Attention is drawn to refugee agency as they negotiate circumstances of considerable constraint demonstrating relational dimensions of religious practice and experience
Jockeying for position in the humanitarian field
The rise in the number of interventions by faith-based organisations in the humanitarian field has reignited debate about the role of religion in the public sphere. This paper presents a nuanced examination of the part played by religious institutions and networks in the strategies of forced migrants in urban contexts. Furthermore, it considers how such organisations work to integrate displaced populations into their new surroundings. Drawing on …
