Push-pull plus: Reconsidering the Drivers of Migration
Drivers can be understood as forces leading to the inception of migration and the perpetuation of movement. This article considers key drivers of migration and explores different ways that they may be configured. We modify existing explanations of migration to generate a framework which we call push-pull plus. To understand migration flows better, analysts could usefully distinguish between predisposing, proximate, precipitating and mediating dri…
Rethinking the Assumptions of Refugee Policy: Beyond Individualism to the Challenge of Inclusive Communities
Safe and Voluntary Refugee Repatriation: From Principle to Practice
The article discusses the principles of voluntariness, safety, and dignity in the context of refugee repatriation. It begins by setting out the applicable legal framework, and discusses how that framework has been elaborated upon and refined since 1951. The article then discusses how the principles of voluntariness, safety, and dignity have, in practice, been applied (or, in a few unfortunate cases, ignored). After noting that we are now living i…
Safe and Voluntary Refugee Repatriation: From Principle to Practice
Rethinking ‘Durable’ Solutions
This chapter argues the need to rethink ‘durable’ solutions to displacement, with emphasis on facilitating refugees’ mobility to enable them to come up with their own transformative solutions. More specifically, it considers whether migration might offer a ‘fourth solution’ to complement the conventional solutions of repatriation, local integration, and resettlement. The chapter suggests that it is important to recognize and contest the inherent …
Forced Migration in Southern Africa
This chapter outlines five phases of displacement in the ‘fifty years war’ of Southern Africa, from the wars of independence of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s to the mass exodus of people from Zimbabwe and mass deportations of migrants, asylum seekers, internally displaced persons, and refugees to other states. It first provides an overview of pre-colonial and colonial forced migration and periodizes the five-decade war from 1960 to the present. It …
The Oxford Handbook of Refugee and Forced Migration Studies
This Handbook critically traces the birth and development of Refugee and Forced Migration Studies, and vividly illustrates the vibrant and engaging debates that characterize this rapidly expanding field of research and practice. The contributions highlight the key challenges faced by academics and practitioners working with and for forcibly displaced populations around the world, as well as identifying new directions for research in the field. Si…
The Point of No Return: Refugees, Rights, and Repatriation
In the past twenty years, over 25 million refugees have returned "home". These refugee repatriations are considered by the international community to be the only real means of solving mass refugee crises. Yet despite the importance placed on repatriation – both in principle and practice – there has been very little exploration of the political controversies that have framed refugee return. Several questions remain unresolved: do refugees have a r…
When refugees stopped being migrants: Movement, labour and humanitarian protection
States and refugee advocates often insist that ‘refugee’ and ‘migrant’ are separate distinct categories, despite ample evidence that these labels blur in practice. However, little attention is paid to the fact that in the past refugees were considered as migrants, with international attention focusing on securing their access to existing migration channels. This article traces this tangled history of refugee and migrant identities through the 192…
Statebuilding Through Refugee Repatriation
Repatriation has long been the international community's preferred solution to refugee crises. This article argues that repatriation must be understood not in terms of physical return but as a process of political rapprochement between citizen, community and state. In particular, this work takes account of the need to accommodate community-based political identities. Repatriation should be conceived of as the deliberate remaking of a social compa…
Rwanda's first refugees: Tutsi exile and international response 1959–64
By the time Rwanda gained independence from Belgium in 1962, 200,000 Rwandan Tutsi had left to seek exile in neighbouring states. Drawing on British archives, this article traces international responses to this refugee crisis in Uganda, arguing that the political subtleties of this displacement are often overlooked. British officials' anxious responses to the Tutsi exodus in 1959 were dominated above all by concern for Ugandan decolonisation. Yet…
Refugees, repatriation and liberal citizenship
This article considers the meanings attached to refugeehood, repatriation and liberal citizenship in the twentieth century. Refugees are those who have been unjustly expelled from their political community. Their physical displacement is above all symbolic of a deeper political separation from the state and the citizenry. ‘Solving’ refugees’ exile is therefore not a question of halting refugees’ flight and reversing their movement, but requires p…
