Document Summary
More labels, fewer refugees: remaking the refugee label in an era of globalization. Labelling == is a way to explore the complex relationship between humanitarian intervention and its impacts on the lives of refugees (interplay between acting under humanitarianism and the social world of a refugee) Better understand how patterns of social life and cultural norms [especially during displacement] are impacted, controlled, and reformulated by institutional agency. What"s on the label: labelling refugees in the contemporary era of globalization. Humanitarian aid regimes were created to share the burden and contain the impacts of large-scale spontaneous refugee crises (started in africa) Since the refugee crisis in africa, it has changed -- people are moving to europe, now there are problems in how to determine who is a refugee based on old labels. Issue is no longer south-south migration, now governments of the north are dealing with this.
