Center for Refugees Studies (York University)
http://www.yorku.ca/research/crs/index.htm
The Centre for Refugee Studies (CRS) is an organized research unit of York University. Founded in 1988, the Centre for Refugee Studies is successor to the Refugee Documentation Project created in 1981 for the conservation and analysis of research documents and data collected by Operation Lifeline during the Indochinese Boat People crisis. In 1991, CRS was designated as a Centre of Excellence by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).
The Centre for Refugee Studies fosters interdisciplinary and collaborative research in all of its undertakings. Our efforts are focused in areas related to a comprehensive research programme expanding from theoretical to institutional research on the aforementioned areas of study. In carrying out this research, CRS networks with Canadian and international development agencies and academic institutes. CRS invites scholars from abroad to share in the research. Canadian and international students are supported to undertake field studies and conduct related research. Joint research activities with institutions in the developing world are underway. CRS plays a significant role in an advisory capacity with Canadian government and other agencies.
In the field of education, the General Certificate programme allows students in the undergraduate programmes (Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Environmental Studies, Atkinson College and Glendon College) to register specifically for the Certificate and to specialize formally in the area of Refugee and Migration Studies and to be awarded the Certificate concurrently with the BA or BES. Students who already have an undergraduate degree can be admitted as special students by the relevant faculties and complete the requirements to receive a Certificate in Refugee and Migration Studies. The Graduate Diploma program offers incentive and recognition to students whose academic focus is on refugee-related issues. The Graduate Diploma programme was developed and passed by the Graduate Faculty Council and subsequently the York Senate in April 1991. The diploma is awarded concurrently to the graduate student who complete the diploma requirements and the degree requirements. CRS communications initiatives involves acquisition efforts through data collection in our Andrew Forbes Resource Centre, a comprehensive publications program including the periodical REFUGE, and a full program of seminars, workshops and conferences.

Environment and Conflicts Project (ENCOP)
http://www.fsk.ethz.ch/encop/
Center for Security Studies and Conflict Research, Zurich, Switzerland.
A development of global importance seems to be the increase in environmental pollution and destruction, as well as an increase in human exploitation of natural resources beyond the limits of renewability. The resulting ecological problems often transcend traditional borders of nation states and are becoming an ever more important source of conflict between competing groups and interests. Ecological degradation in many cases coincides with population growth, poverty and overexploitation of scarce resources, the cumulative effects of which tend to produce violent conflicts. The first goal of ENCOP is to take stock of the many different types of inter- and intranational conflicts that have turned violent and are caused by (or in combination with) ecological degradation. The second goal of ENCOP is to develop an early warning system indicating areas of potential ecological conflicts. The third goal is to work out proposals for preventing such latent conflicts from escalating into wars, and/or to work out proposals contributing to an effective management of existing violent conflicts.

Vol. I Bächler, Günther; Böge, Volker; Klötzli, Stefan; Libiszewski, Stephan; Spillmann, Kurt R.: Kriegsursache Umweltzerstörung. Ökologische Konflikte in der Dritten Welt und Wege ihrer friedlichen Bearbeitung, Rüegger Verlag: Zurich, Chur 1996. 400 pp.
Vol. I is the main part of the report. It provides an encompassingsynopsis on the issue of environmentally caused conflicts. Theauthors conclude that environmental degradation and resource scarcity combined with other stress factors like overpopulation,economic decline, and political instability are already the cause of numerous current violent conflicts and wars in the international system. In most cases, the environmentally induced violence is sub-national and affects the poorest regions in the developing world.

Vol. II Bächler, Günther; Spillmann, Kurt R. (Eds.): Environmental Degradation as a Cause of War - Kriegsursache Umweltzerstörung. Regional and Country Studies of Research Fellows - Regional- und Länderstudien von Projektmitarbeitern, Rüegger Verlag: Zürich, Chur 1996. 700 pp.
Vol. II documents the case studies performed by the members of the ENCOP team. The regional issues treated are: Environmental degradation and intra/interstate conflicts in Bangladesh; The impact of ecological degradation on the civil war in Sudan; Environmental degradation, donflicts and peaceful resolution in Nigeria; The water and soil crisis in Central Asia; Water disputes in the Jordan basin; Battle on an ethno-political and ecological basis in Rwanda; Large-scale mining, ecological transformation, and violent conflict.

Vol. III Bächler, Günther; Spillmann, Kurt R. (Eds.): Environmental Degradation as a Cause of War - Kriegsursache Umweltzerstörung. Regional and Country Studies of External Experts - Regional- und Länderstudien von externen Experten, Rüegger Verlag: Zürich, Chur 1996. 440 pp.
Vol. III documents the case studies performed by external experts. Among the issues treated are (selection): Fresh water as a source of conflict; Conflict and Cooperation between Mexicoand the USA in the Colorado and Rio Grande basins;Cooperation or Contention in the Lower Mekong River; China's environmental refugees; The struggle between Tuaregs and the central government of Niger; Ecologically caused ethnic and transborder conflicts in the Senegambian region; Environmental conflicts in the Amazon Region of Brazil.

GTNet is a successor to the five-year programme on Multilateralism and the United Nations System that was directed by Professor Robert W. Cox (York University), and sponsored by the United Nations University. The MUNS program focused particularly on the forces that have constrained and opened possibilities for the growth of multilateralism, and on the interaction of processes of global structural change with the institutional and policy development of multilateralism.

forum, a challenge that succeeded in gathering the enthusiasm, the will to help and the solidarity of the Internet world, in providing each one's knowledge for the making of the project. We wanted to make real the idea that computer technology can be helpful to rebuild the memory of a people, the people of Kosovo, whose identity has been erased even in its simplest symbol, the identity card. We started from this to offer a service, first of all, a piece of paper for a new beginning. We hope we succeeded and we thank all those who contributed to this initiative with their work and with great sensitiveness, believing in our idea, and helping us overcome logistic problems that we couldn't overcome by ourselves.

International Famine Center (University College Cork, Ireland)
http://www.ucc.ie/famine/
The International Famine Centre at University College Cork aims to commemorate the more than one million people who died and nearly two million who were exiled during Ireland's Great Famine by working to prevent the present-day recurrence of famine elsewhere in the world.
The Centre is committed to research, advocacy, and action on the ground in countries threatened by famine. It brings together relief and development practitioners and academics drawn from the fields of geography, politics, agriculture, economics, sociology, anthropology, and others.
The Centre encourages networking between public and private action, South and North, between the economically rich countries and the disadvantaged in the Majority World.
A key goal of the Centre is to broaden and deepen the world's understanding of what famine is and is not. All too often, famines are viewed as natural disasters arising from failures of climate. The history of famine in Ireland demonstrates, however, that famines have their roots as much in political and economic relations as they do in the environment.
Thus, the Famine Centre at UCC promotes actions to counter three issues which it sees as crucially and inextricably interlinked:
* Famine and the Environment: food insecurity, environmental/climactic difficulty, sustainable development.
* Famine and Economics: global and local economic relations of inequality and exploitation leading to starvation.
* Famine and Politics: political or military conflicts with the World is poor as their victims.
The Centre co-ordinates and conducts applied research in these three areas, leading both to advocacy and to action on the ground. Ongoing projects of the Famine Centre are:
* War and Hunger - an investigation of the linkages between warfare and famine in Sub-Saharan Africa, to culminate in recommendations for future international aid.
* Do No Harm - a collaborative examination of how food aid can lead to unintentional increase in local conflicts, and what programming options exist to avoid this effect. Preventative training for relief workers is one outcome of this work.
* Famine Early Warning - the Centre is an Irish and European node for global systems of famine early warning and early advocacy based on climate information.
* World Trade Reform - the Centre is lobbying for reform of world agricultural trade so as to provide a level playing field for disadvantaged countries.

The Balkans Pages deal with the part of the Balkans formerly known as the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia. Why did the country collapse? Why was that collapse followed by the bloodiest conflict in Europe since the World War II? Why the world stood by to mass murder of civilian population and systematic rape of women? Is the war ever going to end? Will countries that emerged there from the collapse ever be able to live together in peace? Is the UN or NATO assisted "ethnic cleansing" the only humane way to peace?

The Refugee Databank
http://www.worldrefugeedatabank.org
The purpose of this project is to assist the refugees of the world to reunite with their loved ones. All are welcome here. If you have lost someone, or if you are a refugee relief worker, we invite you to come here often and use this tool in your search. We particularly encourage relief workers to come and enter records for those who are not able to do so themselves.
This database and its interface has been designed with the personal security of all who use it as the highest priority. Present addresses, phone numbers and other personal information entered into the database will not be displayed on a search result. Refugee camp information will be displayed, however, as those in camps are generally more secure than those in private homes. Items which are not displayed will only be given out at the direction of the person who entered the data.
