Refugia

Radical Solutions to Mass Displacement

By: Robin Cohen,Nicholas Van Hear

This is an unusual book. Combining social science fiction, utopianism, pragmatism, sober analysis and innovative social theory, the authors address one of the biggest dilemmas of our age – how to solve the problems arising from mass displacement. As early versions of the solution proposed by Robin Cohen and Nicholas Van Hear filtered out, their vision of a new, networked, transnational archipelago, called Refugia, was immediately denounced or met with scepticism by established refugee scholars. Others were more intrigued, more open-minded, or perhaps just holding their fire until this book was finally published. As it at least has the virtue of originality, why not judge the proposal for yourself? Read it and craft your own critique. The authors have initiated an openly pro-refugee vision that all can help to shape. Written in a clear and direct style, this book will appeal to scholars, students, practitioners and an informed public ready to engage with this pressing issue.

UN Global Compacts

Governing Migrants and Refugees

By: Nicholas R. Micinski

UN Global Compacts is a concise introduction to the key concepts, issues, and actors in global migration governance and presents a comprehensive analysis of the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants, the Global Compact on Refugees, and the Global Compact for Migration. The book places the declaration and compacts within their historical context, traces the evolution of global migration governance, and evaluates the implementation of the compacts. Ultimately, the global compacts were the result of three wider shifts in global governance from hard to soft law, from rights to aid, and from Cold War politics to nationalism. The book is an important contribution to international relations and migration studies and provides essential information on the NY declaration and the global compacts, in addition to an examination of the: • Negotiating blocs and strategies • Populist backlash to the Global Compact for Migration • Responsibility sharing for refugee protection • Human rights of migrants • Principle of non-refoulement • Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework • UNHCR, IOM, and the UN Network on Migration The book will be of interest to practitioners, students, and scholars of international cooperation, global governance, migrants, and refugees, and will be essential reading for graduate and undergraduate courses on international law, international organizations, and migration.

Migrant Workers in the Gulf

By: Roger Owen,Nicholas Van Hear

The oil price explosion of the early 1970s triggered off a massive wave of labour migration into the oil-rich states of the Gulf. The migrants came from the poorer Arab countries, from Asia and Africa, attracted by wage levels considerably higher than they could earn in their homelands-. Some came on short-term contracts, others stayed many years. By the end of the 1980s, there were thought to be over six million migrant workers in the region. Migrant Workers in the Gulf for the first time provides a concise overview of the situation of these new migrant workers. Written by Dr. Roger Owen, it gives a valuable insight into the problems and the pressures they face. The report also contains an MRG Update by Dr. Nicholas Van Hear, outlining the mass population movements in the early 1990s. About two million foreign residents left Iraq and Kuwait in the aftermath of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, 800,000 Yemenis were pressured to leave Saudi Arabia, while in 1991 persecution of Kuwait's longestablished Palestinian community by the newly restored rulers led to their mass exodus. The report poses vital questions. Can the rights of migrant workers be protected? Can mass population movements be prevented in the future? What should be the role of the UN and the international community? This unique report should be of immense value to all those interested in the social and economic history of the Middle East and Asia and to policymakers concerned with migration, labour and mass movements of people worldwide. Please note that the terminology in the fields of minority rights and indigenous peoples’ rights has changed over time. MRG strives to reflect these changes as well as respect the right to self-identification on the part of minorities and indigenous peoples. At the same time, after over 50 years’ work, we know that our archive is of considerable interest to activists and researchers. Therefore, we make available as much of our back catalogue as possible, while being aware that the language used may not reflect current thinking on these issues.
