Description du projet
Un examen plus approfondi de l’économie des camps de réfugiés le long de la route des Balkans
Les camps de réfugiés ont beau être le sujet de discussions fleuve dans les sphères publiques et universitaires, leurs économies ont fait l’objet de beaucoup moins de débats et d’études. Le projet camPEconomies, relevant des Actions Marie Skłodowska-Curie (MSCA) examinera de plus près l’économie au sein et autour des camps de réfugiés. Les questions fondamentales auxquelles répondre sont les suivantes: Combien coûtent les camps? Par quelles entités sont-ils financés et comment ces fonds sont-ils distribués? Les camps et les zones/villes avoisinantes entretiennent-ils des relations socio-économiques? Comment les réfugiés gagnent-ils leur vie dans les camps? Dépendent-ils uniquement de l’aide qu’ils reçoivent ou disposent-ils également d’autres ressources? Pour répondre à ces questions, des recherches d’archives et un travail de terrain approfondi seront menés dans deux camps de réfugiés le long de la route des Balkans, l’un en Grèce et l’autre en Serbie.
Objectif
The camPEconomies project explores a crucial aspect of the campization of the refugee accomodation in Europe that has not yet been addressed in literature: the multiple and intertwined economic relations that develop in and around refugee camps. The research will be conducted through a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies drawing from an interdisciplinary approach - my postgraduate studies on Economic and Urban Development, my Phd on social and cultural geography, and my long lasting research interest around migration and gender. An in depth fieldwork research will be take place in two refugee camps in the Balkan Route, the camp of Shisto in Greece and of Obrenovac in Serbia. The aim is to analyze economic and social relations in multiple and interlocking socio spatial scales: from (a) the funding of the camps by institutional actors, to (b) the socioeconomic relations connecting the camp to surrounding areas and to (c) the grassroots economic practices of refugees. Apart from disseminating this original research within academic community (publications, conferences, an educational toolkit) the project aims to intervene in the level of policy making (Policy Report, open online event). Still, following the principles of Open Science and as the discussion around refugee camps is also a public discussion the project will develop an innovative strategy to communicate both the research process (research blog, podcasts) and the results (interactive maps, public discussions) to wider audiences.
The supervisor, Prof. Dr. Manuela Bojadžijev, is a professor in the Institute of European Ethnology and a founding member of the Berlin Institute for Empirical Integration and Migration Research (BIM) both based in Humboldt University in Berlin where the project will be hosted. Prof. Bojadžijev is an expert in migration studies and has a profound experience in supervising and managing research projects.
