Perceptions on what peace is or should be differ across contexts. A minimalist notion is the absence of war, while broader approaches include structural transformations. While violence is a main driver of migration, it is defined on the basis of both objective conditions and individual perceptions.
This GIGA Talk showcases findings from a transcontinental project in societies affected by different forms of violence – Colombia, Venezuela, Cameroon, the Philippines, and Tunisia – asking how individuals’ perceptions of “peace” influence their migration aspirations. The “PEACEptions” project is a joint endeavour between the German Institute for Global and Area Studies (GIGA), the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, and the German Center for Integration and Migration Research (DeZIM Institute). Join us for an engaging discussion on this cutting-edge study and its implications for understanding current situations such as the potential return of refugees to Syria.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
