Call for Papers: Crisis migration

Forced Migration Review

The Forced Migration Review (FMR 45) will include a major feature on “Crisis migration,” focusing on people who move or become “trapped” in the context of diverse humanitarian crises but do not fit well within existing legal, policy and operational frameworks for the protection of refugees and internally displaced people.

This issue of FMR is being prepared in collaboration with the Institute for the Study of International Migration (ISIM) at Georgetown University. ISIM is working on a three-year project to identify and develop principles and effective practices to address the protection of “crisis migrants” (see this page). FMR 45 will include articles based on case-study and policy papers commissioned for the project. We are also seeking additional submissions (see below).

The submission deadline is Sept. 2, 2013.

Please note: as the Editors already have a set of submissions in hand from the outputs of the ISIM project (see list of ISIM papers below), you are strongly advised to contact the Editors at fmr@qeh.ox.ac.uk about your proposed submission before writing, in order to check that it does not duplicate material already planned for publication.
