Refugees

A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her country and is unwilling or unable to return because of persecution, war or violence.  A refugee has a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group (UNHCR, 2019). Research in this category includes studies on forced migration, displacement, the international refugee regime, refugee camps, refugee and human rights, international legislation, resettlement and integration.

Forced migration in Belarus

Authors Liudmila SHAKHOTSKA, Anastacia BOBROVA
Description
There is limited information on the number of forced migrants from Belarus. Key information can be found in the statistical publications of the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Belarusian office of this organization gives the following explanation: “countries are guided by the principle of confidentiality of information submitted by an applicant. Public bodies of the asylum country have no right to transfer or provide any personal information about an application to his/her state of citizenship” (Delovaya Gazeta, 2013). According to UNHCR, the total number of persons from Belarus applying for refugee status, asylum or complementary protection was 6839 in 2011 and 6194 in 2012 (UNHCR, 2012; UNHCR, 2013). European countries (the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland) and the USA were their countries of preference. Some estimates are available at the websites of Eurostat and US National Security Agency. According to the data for 1998-2007, 16255 citizens of Belarus sought asylum in EU member states (Eurostat Statistics). The main recipient countries were Germany, the United Kingdom, Sweden, France, the Czech Republic and Austria. The US National Security Agency also posts data on Belarusian refugees who arrived in the US territory. According to its estimates, there were 2844 of them 2003-2012 (Department of Homeland Security: 2012)

Forced Migration of Syrians to Jordan: An exploratory study

Authors Mohamed Y. OLWAN, Ahmad SHIYAB
Description
The study attempts to identify the economic, social and legal conditions of Syrian refugees residing in Jordan, subsequent to the events of March 2011 in Syria. The study sample consists of 105 interviews, which were conducted with the household heads of Syrian families residing in four governorates; Irbid, Mafraq, Balqa and Amman. The respondents were interviewed and they were asked to answer the 55 question survey included in the study questionnaire. The results of this exploratory study involved significant indicators regarding the challenges and difficulties faced by the Jordanian government as a result of hosting Syrian refugees on its territory. There is an urgent need to support the vital sectors necessary for refugees like health and education and the provision of adequate housing in addition to cash assistance to refugees. Thus, the UNHCR and the international community as a whole have to do their duty towards Syrian refugees in countries where they have taken refuge (Iraq, Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan).

Refugees and displaced persons in Georgia

Authors Mirian TUKHASHVILI
Description
Forced migration is the most pressing problem in terms of the territorial mobility of the Georgian population. Forced migration has varied over time. Mass-scale transfer of the local population by conquerors and forced migration to other countries (Iran, Turkey and Russia) took place in the past. But there was also further organized and disorganized migrations from these countries and individuals sought asylum in Georgia. Of course, we will examine only those flows that currently present a significant problem.

There is a global rise in forced migration resulting from military and ethnic conflicts and natural disasters.

Gender, Flucht, Aufnahmepolitiken: Prozesse vergeschlechtlichter In- und Exklusionen in Niedersachsen

Principal investigator Helen Schwenken (Principal Investigator), Sabine Hess (Principal Investigator), Elke Grittmann (Principal Investigator), Silke Wenk (Principal Investigator)
Description
"Gibt es in Deutschland einen Unterschied bei der Aufnahme und Integration geflüchteter Männer und Frauen? Vor welchen Herausforderungen stehen geflüchtete Frauen und LGBTI? Medienberichte über sexuelle Gewalt in Unterkünften für Geflüchtete haben auf die unsichere Situation und Schutzbedürftigkeit insbesondere weiblicher Geflüchteter aufmerksam gemacht. Aber nicht nur bei der Aufnahme, auch bei Maßnahmen und Angeboten zur Integration von Geflüchteten stehen Frauen häufig vor besonderen Herausforderungen. Politik, Unterstützungsorganisationen und Einrichtungen diskutieren seit geraumer Zeit die Folgen dieser Differenzen und einige Kommunen haben begonnen, spezifische Angebote für geflüchtete Frauen zu entwickeln. Allerdings liegen bislang kaum Erkenntnisse über Formen und Ausmaß dieser Bedingungen und Folgen für die geflüchteten Frauen vor. Das Verbundprojekt untersucht die konkreten Bedingungen, Prozesse und öffentlichen Diskurse der Aufnahme und Integration von Geflüchteten in Niedersachsen. In vier thematischen Teilprojekten wird empirisch untersucht, wie Differenzen und Ungleichheiten in spezifischen Angeboten und Politiken zu Flucht und Migration hergestellt und welche Konflikte und Widersprüche damit wirksam werden.

Geflüchtete Frauen und Familien

Principal investigator Herbert Brücker (Principal Investigator)
Description
"In dem Forschungsvorhaben wird die Fluchtmigration von Familien und Frauen untersucht. Das umfasst Fragen wie das Treffen von Migrationsentscheidungen im Familienkontext, die Selektivität der Fluchtmigration unter Genderaspekten, die besonderen Risiken der Flucht für Frauen und den Familiennachzug. All diese Faktoren sind nicht nur für das Verständnis der gender— und familienspezifischen Aspekte von Fluchtprozessen relevant, sondern auch für die spätere soziale Teilhabe und strukturelle Integration von geflüchteten Frauen und Familien. Darüber hinaus wird die spätere Integration und Teilhabe von Frauen und Familien in Deutschland untersucht. Dazu gehören Fragen wie Genderdifferenzen in der Teilhabe an Sprachkursen und anderen Integrationsmaßmahmen, an Bildung und Ausbildung, in der Integration in den Arbeitsmarkt und ihre Ursachen sowie die Teilhabe von geflüchteten Kindern und Jugendlichen am Bildungssystem und ihre Betreuung. Das Projekt wird in Kooperation mit dem IAB durchgeführt."

Regional responses to forced migration : the case of Libya

Authors Sonja NITA
Description
The 2011 Libyan civil war, part of the wider Arab Spring, triggered considerable population displacements. These displacements included both Libyans and third-country nationals fleeing the country by land, air and sea. Data available for spring/summer 2011 shows that an estimated 1,128,985 people left Libya to seek shelter in Tunisia, Egypt, Niger, Algeria, Chad and Sudan as well as in Malta and Italy. Research has, thus far, mainly focused on the response of the international community (UNHCR and IOM, above all), the European Union and individual countries in dealing with large numbers of displaced persons (Kelly and Wadud 2012, Fargues and Fandrich 2012, Tucci 2012, Forced Migration Review 2012). Less attention has been given to those regional entities of which Libya has been a member. These include: the African Union (AU), the League of Arab States (LAS), the Community of Sahel Saharan States (CEN-SAD), the Arab Maghreb Union (AMU), the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and the Organization for the Islamic Conference (OIC). The aim of this paper is, therefore, to shed light on the (actual and potential) role of these regional organizations in alleviating those fleeing from Libya.

Affektive und kulturelle Dimensionen von Integration infolge von Flucht und Zuwanderung

Principal investigator Christian von Scheve (Principal Investigator), Jürgen Schupp (Principal Investigator)
Description
Das Vorhaben geht von der Annahme aus, dass sich Diversität und kultureller Wandel durch Zuwanderung nicht allein anhand von Wissen und Kompetenzen bemessen lassen, sondern substanziell mit Werten, Einstellungen und Emotionen auf Seiten der Zugewanderten und der einheimischen Bevölkerung verbunden sind. Ausgehend von Ansätzen sozialwissenschaftlicher und psychiatrischer Integrations- und Akkulturationsforschung verfolgt das Vorhaben die These, dass diese kognitiv-evaluativen und affektiven Dimensionen des Miteinanders essenziell für das gesellschaftliche Zusammenleben und Integrationsprozesse sind. Dies gilt besonders für Zuwanderung im Kontext von Flucht und Vertreibung, da Geflüchtete oft erheblichen Stressoren ausgesetzt sind.

Zwangsmigration und Holocaust. Jüdische Flüchtlinge in Westeuropa 1938-1944

Principal investigator Ahlrich Meyer (Principal Investigator ), Insa Meinen (Principal Investigator )
Description
Ziel des Vorhabens ist eine länderübergreifende Untersuchung des Fluchtverhaltens von Ju-den in Reaktion auf die sogenannte „Endlösung der Judenfrage“. Im Mittelpunkt stehen individuelle Überlebensstrategien angesichts der antijüdischen Verfolgungsmaßnahmen des NS-Regimes, der restriktiven Flüchtlingspolitik der westeuropäischen Aufnahmeländer und der Deportationen in die Vernichtungslager. Dazu sollen drei historische Felder exemplarisch erforscht werden:• das Ausmaß der Fluchten von Juden aus Deutschland und Österreich nach Westeuropa (mit Schwerpunkt Belgien) im Zeitraum nach dem „Anschluß“ Österreichs und dem Novemberpogrom 1938;• die Fluchtbewegungen innerhalb der drei von Deutschland besetzten westeuropäischen Länder (aus den Niederlanden und Belgien nach Frankreich) seit Beginn des Auswan-derungsverbots für Juden 1941 und während der Zeit der Massendeportationen nach Auschwitz 1942 bis 1944;• der Anteil der jüdischen Flüchtlinge an der Gesamtzahl der Deportationsopfer aus Westeuropa (Belgien und Frankreich).
