“…This body of work has placed a particular emphasis on large and long-term camps in Africa, Asia and the Middle East, such as Kakuma in Kenya (Brankamp, 2020; Jansen, 2018), Cox Bazar in Bangladesh (Khan and Minca, 2022), Shatila in Lebanon (Martin, 2015; Ramadan and Fregonese, 2017), with specific sites like Moria on the Greek island of Lesbos gaining more attention in recent years as well (Pallister-Wilkins, 2016; Tazzioli and Garelli, 2020). Large and semi-permanent camps such as these may be established in response to cases of protracted conflict, instability, the impossibility or unwillingness to integrate and accept refugees and asylum seekers into the host country and can sometimes accommodate up to several thousand residents, living for years, decades or even multiple generations within the camp.…”

Makeshift camps have increasingly become a permanent presence along border areas and in cities around Europe and elsewhere, constituting a ‘hidden geography’ that is crucial to overland mobilities of thousands of migrants each year and essential to understanding contemporary informal migration. While there is rich and burgeoning scholarship on makeshift camps, substantial gaps remain in the understanding of these informal geographies which have not yet been conceptualized in terms of the key roles they play in the production of informal migration corridors nor the unique forms of daily life en route that they support, as this paper intends to do.

In Bangladesh, hundreds of thousands of Rohingyas have been seeking viable solutions to the plight of their displacement from Myanmar since August 2017. Today, they rely entirely on humanitarian aid and material services. Considering the notion of humanitarian space as an arena of social negotiations between multiple humanitarian actors over their access to the affected communities, this chapter captures the views of twenty Bangladeshi NGOs and identifies three main characteristics in the constrained humanitarian space of the Rohingya response: (a) discrepancies in localization discourses; (b) institutional multiplicity; and (c) disparities in accountability mechanisms. The study concludes that, despite the constant calls of Bangladeshi NGOs for locally led aid initiatives, they are largely side-lined in terms of the Rohingya humanitarian response. Moreover, institutional multiplicity as a form of parallel governance by the Government of Bangladesh and international humanitarian stakeholders often leads to collective action dilemmas and disparities in accountability mechanisms.
