“…33 Studies show that the sources of funding for a regime can influence its operations and the conditions placed on participation. 37 These studies suggest that powerful states within a regime can provide financial incentives to increase compliance among less powerful partners. 35 Moreover, funding can provide an incentive for member states to comply.…”

This article examines levels of compliance with the counter-terrorism regime in Africa, where weak states might have been expected to conform. Instead, even under American pressure, some governments have seized the anti-terrorism rhetoric while others have been more reluctant. A comparative analysis of Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda demonstrates that domestic political factors largely explain this variation; compliance is highest in countries with the least democratic institutions and minimal mobilisation of domestic constituencies. Aid dependence and the perception of a terrorist threat also play a role. To the extent that popular pressures in transitional democracies reduce compliance, the article raises questions about the legitimacy and effectiveness of the counter-terrorism regime.Beth Elise Whitaker is an Associate Professor of political science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

“…Concerned about the country’s longstanding reputation for honoring international legal obligations with respect to refugees, officials argued that Rwanda was safe for repatriation and compared their actions to similarly restrictive immigration policies in the United States and Europe (Whitaker 1999). They also suggested that international donors were partly responsible for the repatriation because of significant drops in funding levels for the refugee camps (Whitaker 2008a). The fact that Tanzanian officials felt the need to justify the shift in refugee policy implies that normative commitments still had some influence, but other priorities clearly took precedence.…”

Abstract:Host governments have responded to the migration of Somali refugees throughout Africa in recent decades in different ways. Kenyan policymakers have treated Somalis primarily as a security threat, imposing restrictions on them that especially target this group. In South Africa, where economic and political competition fuel xenophobia, Somalis are part of a larger foreign national population that is seen as having disproportionate economic influence. However, Somali Bantus have been welcomed in Tanzania, which granted them citizenship even as it limited the mobility and activities of other refugees. A comparative analysis suggests that the relative balance among security, economic, political, and normative considerations shapes the extent and scope of host government policies.

El 28 de julio de 1951, se adoptó en Ginebra la Convención sobre el Estatuto de los Refugiados, en la Conferencia de Plenipotenciarios sobre el Estatuto de los Refugiados y de los Apátridas (Naciones Unidas), que entró en vigencia el 22 de abril de 1954 y que establecía una definición de refugiado como aquella persona que,…”

Resumen: A partir del golpe de Estado de 1964 contra el gobierno de João Goulart y de las dictaduras que le sucedieron, se produjo la salida de brasileños, muchos de los cuales buscaron refugio en otras naciones de América Latina. Este artículo aborda el caso de ciudadanos brasileños que, habiendo adquirido protección y refugio en Chile, debieron volver a trasladarse al vivir en 1973 el golpe de Estado de las Fuerzas Armadas y posterior gobierno dictatorial del general Augusto Pinochet Ugarte, enfrentándose a un nuevo o doble refugio. La revisión de fuentes primarias centrada en los salvoconductos emitidos por el Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de Chile permite identificar el número y condición de quienes obtuvieron la calidad de refugiados, como, asimismo, evidencia la importancia de organismos internacionales y nacionales como ACNUR, CIME, CONAR y FASIC en la protección de expatriados durante la dictadura militar en Chile.
