DESCRIPTION; CHARSET=UTF-8 :In the past fifteen years the MENA region has been in the eye of the refugee displacement storm,
experiencing dramatic waves of refugees and forced migration. Although episodes of forced migration
are not new in this part of the world, today there are 20 million displaced people in the MENA, a number
that rises to 54 million when including economic migrants. This massive movement of peoples is having
profound effects on territorial fragmentation, societal transformation and the practice of sovereignty.

This symposium intends to tackle the issue of migration through an interdisciplinary, multi-sided approach, which is also peculiar to the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies at the University of Exeter. The objective is to bring together scholars whose interest in migration in the Arab world and the wider Mediterranean can trigger
meaningful comparative debate. By focusing on several themes and with different perspectives, this
would allow a comprehensive discussion of major aspects of migration and displacement that is affecting
the region and its people.
