Conflict, Justice, Decolonization (CJD): Critical Studies of Inter-Asian Societies is pleased to invite you to submit your paper to our first conference on Migration, Refugees, and Statelessness. 


Throughout history and in the present day, people have constantly relocated from one place to another, driven by the pursuit of survival, improved opportunities, and a multitude of other motivations, including political, economic, and social considerations. However, recently, there has been a substantial growth in debates about migration and refugees, particularly in the context of global politics and national security. Numerous ongoing migration crises have recently garnered widespread attention in the headlines. For example, the Rohingyas crisis has been a grave humanitarian situation for years. More recently, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has forced millions of Ukrainians to flee the country while millions more remain internally displaced; the war has also triggered migration waves from Russia, as hundreds of thousands flee the country to evade compulsory military service. Furthermore, it appears that in the coming years, we may encounter an even greater array of migration challenges, as forecasts suggest that by 2050, the number of climate refugees could exceed 1 billion. These influxes of migrants and refugees have sparked a fresh surge of discussions about the politics of migration, refugee protection and discrimination, and global responses to such issues.


With this call for participation, CJD is seeking contributions that engage with issues related to migration and refugee within Asia and beyond. Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:



「衝突、正義與解殖：亞際社會批判研究計劃」 (CJD) 將以遷移、難民和無國籍狀態為主題，舉辦CJD第一屆研討會，現正誠邀各位就相關議題提交會議論文。


一直以來，人民總是為了求存、為了向上流動、或者因各式各樣的政治、經濟、社會考量，從一方飄洋過海到他方。近年來，關於遷移和難民的爭論日益增長，特別是在國際政治和國家安全的脈絡裡。正在發生的龐大的難民危機引發廣泛的關注，佔據各國媒體的版面，例如長達數年宛如人間地獄的羅興亞危機。更近期的，俄羅斯於2022年2月對烏克蘭的大舉入侵，迫使過百萬烏克蘭民眾慌忙逃離自己的國家，數以百萬計仍然於烏克蘭境內流離失所；另一方面，這場戰爭也迫使俄羅斯人民為逃避國家強制兵役而大舉離境。未來，我們很可能被捲進更多的遷移窘局，如預測所指，2050年前，將有超過10億人口成為氣候難民。這波極為龐大的難民和移民潮，激發了各界對於遷移政治、難民保護與歧視問題和全球應對措施的新一波討論。


在這份徵稿啟事，我們CJD團隊誠摯邀請各界一起盡一分力，介入亞洲以至全球的遷移議題。以下是一些我們建議（但不限於此）的子題：
