Migrations and Solidarity
The migrant question made a sudden entrance amongst the French Red Cross Foundation’s subjects of study. And yet, whilst the dramas unfolding beneath our windows provoke outrage, anger, concern or fear, the role of social science research is to go beyond emotions and take the time to analyse, in order to understand the dynamics, perceptions, and actors involved in these local and international issues and to contribute to the emergence of appropriate responses. The Red Cross Foundation is committed to aligning research in the fields of social and humanitarian action, thereby reaffirming the echo between national and global issues regarding questions of migration and mobility. It is from this perspective that the theme found its way into the programme of the 2018 Rencontres de la Fondation, and into the list of research supported by the Foundation and its partners.

In recent years, the European crisis in migration policies has produced and made visible the migrant camps; as attested by, in France, the history of the slum-camp in Calais and the Parisian street encampments. The survival of migrants in their midst mobilises a plurality of actors with distinct logics. Recent studies point to the renewal…

Peacebuilding is an intervention model that emerged in the 1990s. It postulates that traditional diplomatic mechanisms of conflict management, involving exclusively the representatives of belligerent parties, is no longer sufficient.
