    University essay from Lunds universitet/LUMID International Master programme in applied International Development and Management; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi

    Author : Samantha Julien; [2022]
    Keywords : climate migration; migration; climate change; policy; international organization for migration; IOM; discourse; WPR approach; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the discourses produced by the International Organization for Migration in relation to the phenomenon of ‘climate migration’ in order to identify the main problematization and subsequent implications. Using Carol Bacchi’s approach entitled “What’s the problem represented to be?” and conducting a qualitative policy analysis of 13 documents written by the IOM between 2007-2022, the thesis answers the following questions: i) How does the IOM problematize ‘climate migration’ within its knowledge products? ii) How are the ‘climate migrants’ represented? iii) What are the implications of such problematizations? The analysis reveals that ‘climate migration’ is linked to one’s vulnerability to cope with climate change and is seen as an appropriate adaptation strategy. READ MORE
