Abstract

This chapter first presents the findings of the analysis. The following sections interpret the findings and discuss the implications of the thesis’ findings for security theory, for organizational research, for the research on human mobility and for IR theory. After a critical reflection on the research design and a presentation of the policy implications, the last sub-chapter elaborates on the way ahead for human mobility in general and environmentally displaced persons in particular.

What I am asking of you here today is not a new convention, it is not an extended mandate. What I am asking is for all of us to assume our shared duty.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Nevertheless, it was not only the High Commissioner whose role was under the influence of politics. Other organizational analyses show that the ExCom has become more politicized over time to the extent that some scholars even argue that “it is no longer an effective decision-making body” (Loescher 2014, p. 221).
