  • Oxford Department of International Development
    OXFORD DEPARTMENT OF INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2015 THE CHALLENGE • Two-thirds of humankind live in developing countries, where most of the world’s worst deprivation is located. Understanding these societies is of central importance to any enquiry into the human condition. • International action to reduce poverty, inequality and vulnerability of people and nations must be based on critical yet rigorous knowledge. Universities have a special duty to create and share this. WHAT WE CAN CONTRIBUTE •The six postgraduate programmes and six specialised research groups of the Oxford Department of International Development give us unequalled depth of scholarship in key themes of this enquiry. • We specialise in academic research and research training, drawing on a worldwide network of partners. We are not constrained by aid agency agendas, and thus can explore new and old problems from a critical standpoint. • Oxford’s engagement with international development is based on the quality of our scholarly research and postgraduate research training, which in turn influences both the global epistemic community and contested policy agendas. • Our interdisciplinary approach has strong roots in Oxford faculties (economics, politics, international relations, anthropology, population health, sociology, history, law, geography, management and area studies) and multidisciplinary graduate colleges. OUR OBJECTIVES • Influencing the theory, analysis and practice of development worldwide to the benefit of disadvantaged people and countries; supporting international networks and local institutions involved in this endeavour. • Worldwide attraction of the best postgraduate students; recruitment of outstanding scholars to faculty; adding to our network of leading development research institutions; bringing key visitors to Oxford. • Endowment of scholarships, with a particular focus on enabling students from countries in the global South to read for our degrees.

All this has occurred at a time when new crises have emerged around the world, from South Sudan to Yemen, and the United Nations is embarking on a process of reflection on whether and how to update the global governance of forced migration. Research has an important role to play: in challenging myths, reframing questions, providing critical distance, offering practical solutions, and upholding the value of evidence.

  • Forced Migration Research and Policy Overview of Current Trends and Future Directions
    Forced Migration Research and Policy Overview of current trends and future directions April 2010 Refugee Studies Centre Oxford Department of International Development University of Oxford Director’s Foreword The University of Oxford’s Refugee Studies Centre (RSC) is a world leader in the multidisciplinary study of the causes and consequences of forced migration. The Conflict and Humanitarian Funding Arrangement (CHFA) between the UK Department for International Development (DFID) and the RSC has supported the expansion of the Centre’s activities over the past three years, enabling the RSC to roll out a range of initiatives which seek to link its research more actively and effectively to processes of policy and practice change in the field of forced migration and humanitarian action. As part of this programme, Forced Migration Research and Policy: Overview of current trends and future directions provides a framework for the RSC’s policy-related research. It maps out contemporary issues and highlights themes and topics requiring further attention from researchers, policymakers and practitioners which the RSC will pursue. Our approach to policy-related research is shaped by our wider academic role as a centre of scholarship engaging with some of the challenging conceptual and theoretical questions which underpin the more immediate concerns of the policy community. These intellectual ambitions and the qualities which define our academic credentials – independence, methodological rigour, systematic inquiry, analytical expertise – also enable us to research and provide critical insights into the more applied agendas of policy and practice. This report was commissioned by the RSC and prepared by Dr Katy Long, researcher at the RSC.
