The role of national law and policy in addressing displacement in the context of disasters and climate change in Asia and the Pacific
No full textThis chapter introduces the analytical framework for the research initiative as a whole. It begins with an overview of what the Guiding Principles offer, and where there are limitations when it comes to addressing displacement in the context of disasters and climate change. The chapter highlights the critical role of national law and policy in addressing internal displacement in the context of disasters and climate change. It considers human rights-based approaches to addressing different phases of displacement in legal and policy documents relating to disaster risk reduction and management and, to a lesser extent, climate change adaptation from across Asia and the Pacific
Nordic Approaches to Climate-Related Human Mobility
No full textAcademic discussion of climate-related human mobility has understandably focused on the places where people are especially vulnerable to climate-related harm: the Global South. Yet, the unique biophysical, legal and socio-political characteristics of the Nordic region, as well as its roles as both ‘home’ and ‘host’ to climate-related mobilities, justify its independent attention. Filling this lacuna, this collection is the first to address climate-related human mobility in the Nordic region. It is a timely and much needed collection, which brings together leading and emerging voices from both academia and practice in a single volume, spanning policy and geographical breadth. Its chapters cover both regional approaches to the global phenomenon of climate mobility, such as the traditional role of the Nordic states as norm entrepreneurs and their representation in multilateral fora, and on-the-ground climate impacts unique to this region and their localised responses. Case studies include judicial decision-making as it relates to climate-related migration, insights into the local communication of climate risk, changes to Nordic development and climate policy, as well as climate-related mobilities of Nordic Indigenous Peoples. This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of disaster and climate studies, as well as climate-related mobility, migration and displacement
Internal displacement in the context of disasters and climate change in Asia and the Pacific
No full textThis introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book focuses on internal displacement in the context of disasters and climate change in Asia and the Pacific. It brings the role of disaster risk reduction and management authorities, as well as legal and policy frameworks that regulate their conduct, more into focus than the role of other relevant actors and frameworks. The book highlights how disasters intersect with existing inequalities, which made the pursuit of durable solutions challenging. It draws on the drafting history of the Guiding Principles and examines reports from successive UN mandate holders on internally displaced persons to demonstrate the gradual development of a human rights-based approach to disaster displacement, informed by significant developments in the fields of international disaster law in general and disaster risk reduction in particular. The book considers the complexity of multi-level governance in Indonesia’s decentralised disaster management system
Conclusion
No full textThis chapter suggests ways forward in both policy and research. It establishes that legal and policy frameworks have little value without implementation, and multiple factors beyond these frameworks affect the extent to which people are protected from and during displacement and whether durable solutions to displacement are ultimately realised. Internationally, UN agencies, treaty monitoring bodies, and mandate holders such as the Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons can continue to draw attention to the human rights issues that arise when people are exposed to displacement risk. Civil society, academic, and other actors have an opportunity to highlight displacement in the context of disasters and climate change in shadow reports and other communications that inform these processes. Systematic human rights-based research into national and sub-national legal and policy frameworks provides important insight into good practices, facilitates comparison across countries and regions, and establishes a foundation for technical cooperation
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
