CALL FOR PAPERS

Forced Migration Review issue 43
To be published in April/May 2013 – will include a feature on ‘Fragile states’.
Deadline for submission of articles: January 7th 2013.

The combination of conflict and what is known as 'state fragility' has been a major driver of forced displacement in many parts of the world. The international system gives the state primary responsibility for the well-being and rights of its citizens and others present within its borders. Yet when the state itself is caught up in internal conflict, or lacking in authority, stability, capacity and governance systems or legitimacy, or any combination of these, the welfare and rights of displaced people can be severely compromised. Little of what is written about 'fragile states', however, deals explicitly with forced migration.
