It argues that the range of approaches developed by European states and their methods of cooperation fundamentally misrepresent the position of African states in the global refugee regime. Drawing upon the example of Tanzania, which has been the focal point for a range of the new initiatives, the paper demonstrates how the existing European approach has failed to adequately recognize many of the constraints on asylum in Africa. It argues that unless European states adapt their methods of cooperation and their implicit assumptions about the African state, there is a risk of undermining rather than enhancing refugee protection in Africa. However, the paper suggests that this is not an inevitable outcome and that an alternative approach is possible that might better address the interests of EU and African states while simultaneously enhancing refugee protection in Africa.Item Open Access “Forced Migration and Security”(Oxford Refugee Studies Centre, 2005) Milner, James; Loescher, GilItem Open Access “The Long Road Home: Protracted Refugee Situations in Africa”(Taylor and Francis, 2005) Milner, James; Loescher, GilItem Open Access “The Missing Link: The Need for Comprehensive Engagement in Protracted Refugee Situations”(Wiley-Blackwell, 2003) Milner, James; Loescher, GilItem Open Access “Protracted Refugee Situations and State and Regional Insecurity”(Taylor & Francis, 2004) Milner, James; Loescher, GilThis article examines the long-stating importance of refugee issues in international politics and underlines the changing emphasis given to these issues by policy makers and academic researchers, both in the immediate post-Cold War and post-9/11 periods. The authors then address the manner in which the relationship between forced migration and state security has been addressed in the past decade. The article highlights how this area of research continues to over-emphasize the migration-related security of Western states and the presence of armed elements in refugee movements in the Third World. In contrast, the literature largely neglects the security concerns of states hosting protracted refugee populations. lronically, chronic refugee situations in regions of refugee origin constitute the overwhelming majority of the world's refugee population.Item Open Access "Protracted Refugee Situations: Domestic and International Security Implications"(Routledge for the International Institute for Strategic Studies (Taylor and Francis), 2005) Loescher, Gil; Milner, JamesItem Open Access "Recent Developments in International Resettlement Policy; Implications for the UK Programme"(UK Home Office, 2003) Milner, JamesItem Open Access “Refugees and the Regional Dynamics of Peacebuilding”(Oxford University Press) Milner, JamesThis article examines the relationship between refugees and the regional dynamics of peacebuilding. It argues that recent approaches to peacebuilding have adopted a narrow understanding of conflict. The article outlines the links between protracted refugee situations and regional insecurity to argue that the relationship between peacebuilding and refugees goes beyond repatriation. Instead, the presence of "spoilers" within the refugee-populated areas, the potential for early and forced repatriation, and the politicization of refugees while in exile have all the proven potential to undermine peacebuilding efforts, while the experience of exile may enable refugees to contribute to the peacebuilding process.Item Open Access “Responding to Protracted Refugee Situations: Lessons from a Decade of Discussion”(Refugee Studies Centre, University of Oxford, 2011) Milner, James; Loescher, GilItem Open Access “Sharing the Security Burden: Towards the Convergence of Refugee Protection and State Security”(Oxford University, Refugee Studies Centre, 2000) Milner, JamesItem Open Access “Understanding the Challenge of Protracted Refugee Situations”(Metropolis, 2008) Milner, JamesItem Open Access "The Way Forward: Europe’s Role in the Global Refugee Protection System -- Towards a European Resettlement Program"(European Council on Refugees and Exiles, 2005) European Council on Refugees and Exiles; Milner, James
