Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Since the number of refugees is recorded globally, there have never been as many people fleeing wars, armed conflicts, the effects of natural disasters and climate change, aggressive developmental politics, and economic deprivation as today. According to the United Nations, the year 2020 saw 82.4 million refugees worldwide. In 2005, this number was at 37.5 million. Thus, it is little surprising that humanitarian assistance for refugees, receiving and integrating refugees in their host countries as well as combating the causes of forced migration have become core political fields of action of a global dimension with complex interconnections that are currently being debated controversially in civil society as well as in politics.Although the topic of forced migration is constructed as an immigration phenomenon to Europe in most media, the largest forced migration movements take place within state borders or between neighboring states in the so-called Global South. Against this background, the seminar focuses a region – Southeast Asia – that has been characterized by significant forced migration movements for decades, but is rarely present in the German-speaking media.The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees estimates the number of refugees in Southeast Asia at 3.37 million in 2017. Far higher, however, is the number of those displaced in the region within national borders. The Internal Displacement Monitoring Center (IDMC) estimates the number of internally displaced people in Southeast Asia for 2017 at 5.9 million. At the same time, the region has one of the weakest protection frameworks for refugees worldwide.The seminar will deal with different dimensions of forced migration movements based on case studies from Southeast Asia. These include drivers of forced migration, migration routes, accommodation and livelihoods of refugees, vulnerability in the context of forced migration, protection standards, durable solutions (integration, repatriation, resettlement), gender in the context of forced migration, and the role of national governments, confederations, and international refugee aid organizations such as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM).Methodologically, the seminar is structured as a research and writing workshop in preparation of the Bachelor thesis, which will offer the students the opportunity to create a scientific research paper in groups of two or three along clearly defined work steps that will be facilitated by the course instructors. This will include both continuous feedback from the course instructors and peer feedback from the participants.
