Topics

  • Migration and Forced Displacement

The perception of migrants in the European Union has changed considerably in recent years. Increasing attention is now being focused on the complex political, social and cultural involvement of migrants from crisis regions in peace and development processes in their countries of origin. BICC is taking part in the multi-year international EU research project “Diasporas for Peace: Patterns, Trends and Potential of Long-distance Diaspora Involvement in Conflict Settings (DIASPEACE)”, which sets out to establish new findings on diaspora activities both in the countries of origin and receiving countries as well as on a transnational level.
