A roundtable discussion on Migration and Circles of Insecurity was
organized on August 26, 2005. This was the first in the series of
post review stage of the various studies undertaken as part of the
Non Traditional Security project formulation. The purpose of this
particular stage was to flag a new series of discussion and come out
with policy recommendations.
The study Migration and
Circles of Security by Ranabir Samaddar and Paula Banerjee looks at
the taxonomy of security and insecurity with a constant reflection
on trafficked women, resource politics and enclave economy in connection
to the population flow within Northeast from the adjoining regions
of Burma, Nepal and Bangladesh. It also offers new models of analysis
to understand how the larger issues of security and insecurity are
introduced with respect to migration or population flows.
Wiscomp
was established as part of the efforts of the Foundation for Universal Responsibility
to build a culture of coexistence and nonviolence that is gender-sensitive
and inclusive. A not-for-profit, non-sectarian, non-denominational organization,
the Foundation promotes universal responsibility in a manner that celebrates
a diversity of beleifs and practices, and that contributes to a global ethic
of nonviolence, coexistence and gender equity. The work of the Foundation
is global in its reach and transcends nationalist political agendas.
