Assignment #11 (Group) Draft research proposal (PART 1)
| Conclusions This chapter has offered away to think about the global governance of forced migration, explaining its institutional, political and normative dimensions. The global governance of forced migration is made up of a complex and fragmented set of institutions that have emerged and evolved overtime, building upon the modern refugee regime created in the aftermath of World War II. The trajectory and effectiveness of these institutions has been shaped overtime by their position within the broader structures of world politics, being shaped and remoulded by power, interests and ideas. Today, the global governance of forced migration faces a range of challenges in terms of who to protect and how to protect. Ina world in which protection space is being threatened by states unwillingness and inability to protect, creative and innovative forms of collective action are urgently needed. A clear conceptual understanding of the global governance of forced migration can tell us many things about the constraints and opportunities available for reforming existing institutions and adapting to a changing landscape of forced migration. Note 1 North and South are inevitably imperfect empirical categories. However, they capture a useful analytical distinction between advanced industrialised states and, in broad terms, developing countries. In the refugee regime, this is a useful distinction because it highlights the different structural positions occupied by a small number of donor and resettlement states and host states within regions of origin (Betts 2009b).
