SEMINAR: CAUSES OF REFUGEE FLOWS IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA:
A CRITICAL
REVIEW OF THEORY
Monday, 21 June 2004
Presented by the
Speakers:
Dr Erik Melander, Assistant
Professor, Department of Peace and Conflict Research, Uppsala University,
Sweden
Dr Magnus Oberg, Associate Professor, Department of Peace
and Conflict Research, Uppsala University, Sweden
Although civil wars and other forms of communal violence have been identified
as the principal causes of forced migration, such a generalisation fails to
take account of significant variations across cases. In this seminar, the speakers
will address this issue and suggest refinements to our conceptualisation of
the causes of refugee flows. They will also discuss if the general findings
about causes of refugee flows hold specifically in the Sub-Saharan Africa region,
or if there appear to be systematic differences between this region and the
rest of the world when the causes of refugee flows are concerned.
