Improving the International Response to Regime-Induced Displacement

这个项目研究了为什么政府越来越多地使用武力故意大规模地流离失所自己的人口，这被称为政权引起的流离失所。通过定量和个案研究相结合的方式，该项目旨在解释为什么这些行动已成为政权应对可能对其构成威胁的族裔群体的合理战略，以及这些政权如何试图为其行为辩护，以阻挠或拖延国际行动。这是一个至关重要的问题，因为除了人力成本之外，政权引起的流离失所还可能导致国家脆弱和区域不稳定，从达尔富尔到叙利亚的情况都表明了这一点。因此，它直接影响到澳大利亚的安全利益和国际责任。

This project examines why governments increasingly use force to deliberately displace their own populations on a massive scale, which is termed regime-induced displacement. Through a mix of quantitative and case study research, this project aims to explain why such actions have become rational strategies for regimes to respond to ethnic groups which may be a threat to them and how these regimes try to justify their behaviour in order to thwart or delay international action. This is a critical issue as beyond its human cost, regime-induced displacement can lead to state fragility and regional instability as cases from Darfur to Syria demonstrate. Consequently, it directly affects Australia's security interests and international responsibilities.
