Forced Displacement in a Historical Perspective
This blog accompanies the MA Seminar Refugees and Forced Displacement in a Global Historical Perspective at the Institute of Development Studies at University of Vienna. Millions of people have historically been forced from their homes by factors including war destruction, political persecution, regime changes, revolutions, or genocide throughout the twentieth century and in the first two decades of the twenty-first century. This has culminated in new understandings of international law and new ways of treating vulnerable populations. The management of various displacement crises has constituted a critical challenge for local populations, state institutions, as well as international and non-governmental organizations in these various contexts. This course examines this cause-response nexus as it explores various roots of forced displacement crises and related multiscale agendas and practices to address refugees’ needs.
