Global Refugee Regime: The Management of Forced Displacement and Resettlement from the Second World War to the Cold War in Global Perspectives

Early scholarship on displacement and resettlement views post-war experiences in Europe – the aftermath of the Holocaust – and in Asia as separate domains. The EU-funded GLORE project aims to show that there were connections between Europe and Asia and further link them to Australia and the Americas. It will therefore elucidate that the late 1940s and 1950s brought the construction of resettlement regimes on a global scale. To do this, the project will use social geographic information system methods and link this empirical corpus with data gleaned from other archives. Project work will inform discussions today about post-war refugee resettlement.
