Reflections on refugee studies and the study of Refugees: Implications for policy analysts
No full textThe United Nations (UN, 2010) reports that 25.2 million people, an overwhelming majority from
the Global South, are displaced: 10.55 million refugees and 14.7 million internally displaced
people (IDP).The phenomenon of Refugee Studies as a field of academic inquiry is a main focus
of this paper. This paper makes a case for more critical analysis in – and of – refugee studies in
order to better protect displaced people and to assist government in creating policies which
respect the dignity of individuals. Based on a review of academic literature, first this paper
discusses key concepts, labels, and theories in refugee studies. Second it traces the emergence
of the field of refugee studies. Following it discusses the dilemma within the study of refugee
policy research in regards to our ability to remain critical while maintaining a close relationship
with government funding agencies. Finally, the conclusion makes a case for studying asylum
seekers as a distinct phenomenological group. Implications for the management of refugee
claims administration, researchers and policy analysts are brought forward while arguing that
theoretically a separate space for asylum studies is required

No full textThe purpose of this practice note is to promote knowledge sharing and insight for evaluation practitioners and academics in other jurisdictions by reflecting on evaluation policy development in Prince Edward Island. The author describes the process of developing evaluation standards and guidelines for the Government of Prince Edward Island and the benefits of a systematic development process. The author reviews each phase of the process, including “Identify,” “Consult,” “Study,” “Consensus,” “External Review,” and “Endorsement.” The author concludes that the benefit of developing evaluation standards and guidelines is two-fold: A new resource is added to the government’s evaluation toolkit, and the development process provides an opportunity for capacity and interdepartmental community building.
Le but de cette note de pratique est de promouvoir le partage des connaissances et des idées pour les praticiens de l’évaluation et les universitaires d’autres juridictions en réfléchissant à l’élaboration de politiques d’évaluation à l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard. Je décris le processus d’élaboration de normes et de lignes directrices d’évaluation pour le gouvernement de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard et les avantages d’un processus d’élaboration systématique. J’examine chaque phase du processus, y compris « Identifier », « Consulter », « Étudier », « Consensus », « Examen externe » et « Approbation ». Je conclus que l’avantage de l’élaboration de normes et de lignes directrices en matière d’évaluation est double : une nouvelle ressource est ajoutée à la boîte à outils d’évaluation du gouvernement et le processus de développement offre une opportunité de renforcement des capacités et de la communauté interministérielle
