Vol. 25.1 Informing Integration
Guest Editor: Catherine Dauvergne, University of British
Columbia
Deadline: April 30, 2007
Protracted, camp based protection is the norm for the vast
majority of the world's refugee population (over 70%). At the
same time a number of northern states continue to accept
significant numbers of “spontaneous arrivals”, facilitating
access to refugee status determination procedures and delivering
settlement services to those granted refugee status. There is
growing recognition that the settlement needs of these two
refugee populations are generally quite distinct. Protracted
displacement has a direct impact on refugees’ mental, social and
cultural well-being. Refugees resettled from such situations may
have unique needs. On the other hand, successful refugee
claimants also face particular challenges in settlement and
integration. With evidence pointing to poorer economic outcomes
for refugees than for other immigrant categories, there is a
critical need to develop a better understanding of the source(s)
of this disparity and potential strategies for improving both
economic and social outcomes. These themes, among others, will
be addressed in a series of workshops at the upcoming Metropolis
Conference to be held in Toronto this spring. Refuge invites
submissions, on topics including but not limited to the
following: host society practices with respect to the settlement
and integration of refugees; international and comparative
studies on the migration and settlement experience of successful
refugee claimants, how this differs from that of other immigrant
categories and how they may impact longer term social and
economic outcomes; the range of issues refugees resettled from
protracted situations may face and strategies developed by
resettlement countries to address these issues. Contributions
must be received by March 31, 2007.
As always, Refuge is willing to
consider submissions outside the scope of this particular theme
which relate to forced migration and refugees. Refuge also
encourages submissions relating to, critical of or in dialogue
with material previously published in Refuge. Submissions may
take a variety of forms. Papers, not exceeding 30 pages or 7500
words, should be typed, double-spaced and referenced using
Chicago Manual of Style endnotes (see
style sheet
for details.) Shorter papers on issues related to forced
migration, book reviews and case comments are also welcome. A
brief abstract (100-150 words) and a two sentence institutional
identification of the author must be provided. All submissions
must be word processed and sent by email attachment.
