1. This project uses multi-disciplinary methodology to investigate and influence the ways in which Latin American States use transnational structures and interventions to address new security and justice challenges resulting from forced migration flows.2. The recent trend of increasing arrivals of 'extra-continental' migrants and refugees, many from conflicts in Africa and the Middle East, are raising substantive challenges of security and justice for Latin American societies. At the same time, particularly in Central America, novel patterns of gang- and drug-related generalised violence are producing extensive forced displacement. As States in the region seek to balance societal fears about terrorism and criminality against their international obligations to protect refugees and displaced persons, they look to develop new forms of transnational cooperation on asylum and migration. This international cooperation builds on existing regional initiatives. However, despite the potentially positive model that Latin America offers, no recent or comprehensive studies exist on this topic.3. This research analyses these regional responses to forced migration in Latin America. Among the far-reaching questions to be addressed are: What are the implications for security and justice of the new dynamics of forced migration in Latin America? How do Latin American States respond to such challenges, and how can their responses be strengthened in future? What roles do civil society groups, inter-governmental bodies, and powerful North American States play in these processes? How does the Latin American model compare or interact with the European and African models, and what lessons can be drawn? What are the implications for States' allocation of international responsibility for flows of refugees and asylum-seekers?4. This multi-disciplinary project combines social science and legal research methodologies to address the identified knowledge gap through library, archival and field research. It also creates a 'contact group' of Latin American States as an innovative technique for gathering research data and feedback. It further facilitates the co-production of knowledge in this area through a range of knowledge exchange activities, such as the following proposed conferences and workshops:- 2013 Geneva Workshops with key international humanitarian stakeholders.- 2013 London Refugee Law Initiative Public Seminar Series. - 2014 Conference in Bogotá with academic-practitioner stakeholders. - 2015 Panel at 15th IASFM Conference with academic-practitioner stakeholders. - 2015 London Conference for States and regional stakeholders. Further practical and academic impact will be secured through targeted follow-up activities with different beneficiary and 'user' stakeholders participating in these events.5. The project seeks to generate mid-long term impact 'through people' to address the security and justice challenges that new forced migration patterns bring in Latin America by:(a) Changing State practice by improving regional law and policy on forced migration;(b) Improving the policy of the third sector institutions working on forced migration; and (c) Helping to promote an informed public debate on forced migration. The project will also yield mid-to-long term 'international leadership' and 'partnerships' impacts by promoting academic-practitioner collaborations and increasing the international visibility of UK academic research. 6. The project has innovative in-built training and is mentored by two leading academics from different but related disciplines. A structured programme of research skills development has been jointly designed with the host institution as a core component of the project, focusing on the skills needed to lead the future research agenda in this field.

1.该项目采用多学科方法，调查和影响拉丁美洲国家利用跨国结构和干预措施应对被迫移徙带来的新的安全和司法挑战的方式。最近，越来越多的“大陆外”移民和难民-其中许多人来自非洲和中东的冲突-来到拉丁美洲，这对拉丁美洲社会的安全和正义提出了实质性挑战。与此同时，特别是在中美洲，与帮派和毒品有关的普遍暴力的新模式正在造成广泛的被迫流离失所。由于该区域各国努力在社会对恐怖主义和犯罪的恐惧与其保护难民和流离失所者的国际义务之间取得平衡，它们希望就庇护和移徙问题发展新形式的跨国合作。这一国际合作建立在现有区域倡议的基础上。然而，尽管拉丁美洲提供了潜在的积极模式，但最近没有关于这一主题的全面研究。本研究分析了拉丁美洲这些区域对被迫移徙的反应。需要解决的影响深远的问题包括：拉丁美洲被迫移徙的新动态对安全和正义有何影响？拉丁美洲国家如何应对这些挑战，今后如何加强其应对措施？民间社会团体、政府间机构和强大的北美国家在这些进程中发挥什么作用？拉丁美洲模式与欧洲和非洲模式相比或相互作用如何，可以吸取哪些教训？对各国分配难民和寻求庇护者流动的国际责任有何影响？4.这个多学科项目结合了社会科学和法律的研究方法，通过图书馆、档案和实地研究来解决已确定的知识差距。它还设立了一个拉丁美洲国家“联络小组”，作为收集研究数据和反馈的一种创新方法。它还通过一系列知识交流活动，如以下拟议的会议和讲习班，进一步促进共同编制这一领域的知识：- 2013年日内瓦与主要国际人道主义利益攸关方的讲习班。2013年伦敦难民法倡议公共研讨会系列。- 2014年在博戈塔与学术界从业者利益攸关方举行会议。- 2015年在第15届IASFM会议小组与学术从业者利益相关者。- 2015年各国和区域利益攸关方伦敦会议。将通过有不同受益者和“用户”利益攸关方参加的有针对性的后续活动，进一步确保产生实际和学术影响。该项目力求“通过人”产生中长期影响，以应对新的被迫移徙模式在拉丁美洲带来的安全和司法挑战，具体做法是：（a）通过改进关于被迫移徙的区域法律和政策，改变国家做法;（B）改进从事被迫移徙工作的第三部门机构的政策;（c）帮助促进关于被迫移徙的知情公众辩论。该项目还将通过促进学术与实践者的合作和提高英国学术研究的国际知名度，产生中长期的“国际领导力”和“伙伴关系”影响。6.该项目具有创新的内置培训，并由来自不同但相关学科的两位领先学者指导。与东道机构共同设计了一个结构化的研究技能发展方案，作为项目的核心组成部分，重点是领导该领域未来研究议程所需的技能。
