Forced Migration Review's March 2011 issue focuses on "Armed Non-State Actors and Displacement." Here is part of the blurb:"Militia, freedom fighters, rebels, terrorists, paramilitaries, revolutionaries, guerrillas, gangs, quasi-state bodies... and many other labels. In this issue of FMR we look at all of these, at actors defined as being armed and being non-state – that is to say, without the full responsibilities and obligations of the state. Some of these actors have ideological or political aims; some aspire to hold territory and overthrow a government; some could be called organised groups, and for others that would stretch the reality. Their objectives vary but all are in armed conflict with the state and/or with each other. Such actors, deliberately or otherwise, regularly cause the displacement of people."
In addition to the 20 articles included in the feature section, another nine discuss "subjects as varied as the labelling of migrants, solar energy in camps, gang persecution, and scoring states’ performance in respect of the rights of refugees."
FMR has also just circulated a CFP for an upcoming issue on the experiences of displaced youth. Read "Being Young and Out of Place" for more information. The deadline for submissions is 17 October 2011.
