Marie Godin – författare

By examining the trans-local lives of people affected by violent conflict, this open access book builds a bridge between migration and refugee studies, and peace and conflict studies. Combining conceptual debates and rich insights from empirical research from around the world, 18 chapters address the question of how war and conflict shape, disrupt, and transform (im)mobility trajectories and patterns of translocal living – within countries and across borders. They are complemented by an introduction that presents conceptual advances in this emerging interdisciplinary research field, two chapters summarizing methodological innovations and challenges in conducting empirical studies, and a conclusion that reflects upon the findings and policy implications of applying a translocal research perspective. This book will be an excellent resource for students and scholars seeking to transcend a conventional, linear understanding of displacement, embracing instead a translocal perspective that acknowledges the multi-sited patterns and repercussions of violence and war.
