For their outstanding article “Mobility Control as State-Making in Civil War: Forcing Exit, Selective Return, and Strategic Laissez-Faire,” published in Migration Politics, Dr. Christiane Fröhlich and Dr. Lea Müller-Funk were awarded this year’s Routledge Area Studies Interdisciplinarity Award.
In this paper, we study the question of who and what drives forced migration governance in origin, host, and transit states, drawing on empirical material from the contemporary Syrian and Libyan, and the historical Algerian displacement situations.
