Governance and Patterns of Forced Migration
Strands within this should include causes, perpetuation and solutions), meanings and practices of citizenship as part of the experience of forced migration, and the potential of citizenship policies to alter the relationship between forced migrants and the state
Governance and Protection
Sub-themes may include regimes of rights, entitlements, and social protection, in addition to other related issues such as the linkages between transitional justice, displacement and reparations; transitional justice and property restitution; identities and citizenship (as a means of accessing certain rights, an indicator of or an antidote to migration); and governance & sexuality?
Conflict, Forced Migration, and Transitional Justice
Key themes within this strand include: To understand how forced migration may be a focus of, and challenge for, post-conflict reconstruction and transitional justice; Transitional Justice as an instrument of good governance; To consider the trauma associated with forced displacement, and the extent to which transitional justice remedies may be used to address this trauma. Should therapy be at the individual, household, or state level? At what point in processes of displacement and return can transitional justice best serve to address the traumas involved? When is justice (or the lack thereof) a cause of forced migration? Could it serve to consolidate durable solutions?
Relating domestic (and local), international and global governance
Relating domestic (and local), international and global governance, whether in respect to climate change, which, understandably, is not limited to state responsibility but also as a wider global responsibility to protect as causes of destabilization, factors in (lack of) protection, or help and hindrance to domestic post-conflict recover.
