FMR Burma issue now online

The latest issue of Forced Migration Review (FMR 30) with its feature
section on ‘Burma’s displaced people’ is now online at
www.fmreview.org/burma.htm

With the ‘Saffron revolution’ of September 2007, Burma was catapulted
into the centre of international attention. It was briefly headline news
as people monitored the regime’s response and watched for hints of
progress towards democracy and the restoration of rights. With little
action on either front (and no visible resurgence of violence or
protest), interest has since waned. This issue of FMR aims to help bring
the crisis of forced displacement of Burmese people back into the
international spotlight.

The feature section on Burma includes 29 articles exploring the extent
of the displacement crisis, factors affecting displaced people and the
search for solutions. The issue also includes 19 articles on other
aspects of forced migration.

We would like to thank Inge Brees, guest editor for the Burma feature
section, and those agencies that have provided funding specifically for
this issue: DanChurchAid, DFAIT Canada, International Rescue Committee,
UK Department for International Development and ZOA Refugee Care.

This issue will be published in Burmese as well as our usual four
languages: English, Arabic, French and Spanish.

This issue will be distributed to our usual mailing list shortly. If you
usually receive FMR, you do not need to contact us unless you require
multiple copies.

If you do not usually receive FMR but would like to receive a hard copy
for your organisation, or multiple copies for distribution to partners
and policy- and decision-makers, please contact fmr@qeh.ox.ac.uk You
will need to send us your full postal address and indicate how many
copies in which language you require.

Please feel free to reproduce and circulate any articles, crediting
Forced Migration Review and citing the URL www.fmreview.org/burma.htm.

The feature themes of the next two issues of FMR in 2008 are climate
change/environmental displacement (www.fmreview.org/climatechange.htm)
and statelessness (www.fmreview.org/statelessness.htm). If you would
like to write for either, please look at the calls for articles online
and contact us as soon as possible at fmr@qeh.ox.ac.uk. Many thanks.

Apologies for any cross-posting of this message.

With best wishes

Forced Migration Review

News from the Forced Migration Review journal is that the latest issue of the journal, Number 30, will be published later this month on the subject of Burma. The journal will include a number of articles relating to Burma and will examine "the causes and patterns of displacement; the experiences, needs and coping strategies of Burmese refugees and IDPs; the challenges in providing protection and assistance; and the search for durable solutions."

This also acts as a good opportunity to remind everyone that whilst the Refugee Archives here at UEL hold a current hard copy subscription to Forced Migration review, the journal is also freely available as a full-text online journal via the Forced Migration Review web site at: http://www.fmreview.org/

The journal is now also fully searchable via the Forced Migration Online website at: http://fmo.qeh.ox.ac.uk/fmo/index.asp
