REFUGEES & INSTABILITY

This project focuses on refugee and forced migration flows, with a particular focus upon decisions regarding where to flee and which routes to follow. Much of this interest is captured in an ongoing Minerva Initiative-funded project with co-PIs Faten Ghosn, Shane Johnson, and Toby Davies. In this project we explore how violence informs patterns of departure, how government policies and geography affect the routes followed by forced migrant and refugee populations, and how these processes subsequently relate to local patterns of instability in destination countries.
