Forced Displacement, Refugeehood, and Injustice<\/h1>\n

Every year, millions of people are forced to leave their homes due to conflicts, political persecution, violence, and natural disasters. As a response, the political philosophy of forced migration has been growing. Theorists have begun investing different conceptual and normative issues, including who is a refugee, whether there is a special duty to protect refugees and what this duty would entail, what are the appropriate responses on the part of host states, what is solidarity with refugees, as well as what is owed to those displaced by climate change (Aleinikoff & Zamore 2019; Betts & Collier 2017; Buxton 2019; Cherem 2016; Hathaway 2007; Lister 2013, 2014; Miller 2017; Miller & Straehle 2020; Owen 2020; Parekh 2020; Price 2009; Shacknove 1985; Straehle 2020).<\/p>\n

The global refugee regime basically offers to forcibly displaced people an \u2018impossible choice\u2019 among three options: long-term encampment, urban destitution in a neighbouring country, or dangerous journeys to the global North (Betts & Collier 2017). All these choices are very costly for refugees, each coming with its own distinctive harms and deprivation. Therefore Parekh (2020) highlights that the European refugee crisis started in 2015 hides a second crisis, that is the inability for these people to access minimum conditions of human dignity and the fulfilment of their human rights while they wait for a more permanent solution.<\/p>\n

We can identify at least two issues that are currently undertheorized. First, internally displaced people have been neglected because the focus tends to remain on those forced migrants who seek asylum in the global North. Second, a third \u201ccrisis\u201d should be added to those identified by Parekh: namely, the inability of the global refugee regime to address politically the protection of people that are displaced for reasons other than political persecution or generalized violence (e.g., victims of sexual and gender-based violence and climate displaced people).<\/p>\n

This workshop aims to explore three main dimensions \u2013 internal displacement, border-crossing, and protection rights of specific groups of forced migrants. We welcome submissions investigating conceptual and definitory issues. Moreover, we are interested both in highlighting the commonalities among the experiences of different categories of displaced people and in conceptualizing the distinctive experiences of displacement of specific groups \u2013 such as women, LGBTQAI+, persons with disabilities, elderly people, etc. We also aim at exploring normative issues, concerning the wrongs of displacement and what is unjust in how the global refugee regime is handling displacement.<\/p>\n
