Ce travail de thèse cherche à interroger l’importance, fluctuante, prise par la question des « migrations environnementales », et sa constante re-problématisation. Il s’inscrit dans une perspective de sociologie de l’action publique et entreprend une comparaison transcalaire, entre le plan international et l’échelon national malien. Cette recherche montre que, dans un contexte d’incertitudes politiques et scientifiques multiples, l’élaboration de récits d’action publique relatifs aux « migrations environnementales » permet de dramatiser des enjeux qui dépassent le strict cadre des effets des changements environnementaux sur les déplacements de population, et de les construire en problèmes relevant de l'action publique.Trois récits discordants ont été élaborés dans les arènes internationales : le récit des « réfugiés », le récit des « personnes déplacées par les catastrophes naturelles » et le récit de « la migration comme adaptation ». Leur multiplication s’explique, d’une part par leur visée instrumentale, et d’autre part par les constants efforts de reformulation mis en œuvre par des entrepreneurs politiques afin de les inscrire dans les référentiels dominants. En résultent des récits en décalage avec les résultats des travaux académiques consacrés au lien entre environnement et déplacement. A l’échelon malien, le récit des « réfugiés » s’insère dans un discours plus général venant justifier des mesures de lutte contre les changements environnementaux et climatiques, nouvelle priorité des agences d’aide. Les récits élaborés au plan international sont ainsi sélectionnés et articulés avec des enjeux locaux afin d’être adaptés aux logiques et normes de fonctionnement de l’action publique locale. / This research work aims at questioning the variety of narratives used to describe “environmental migration” and the shifting importance given to the matter. Building on a political sociology of ‘public action’ perspective, it undertakes a transnational comparison between international arenas and Malian politics and policies. This study shows that, in a context of multiple political and scientific uncertainties, “environmental migration” narratives are used to add dramatic tension to issues that go beyond the subject of environmentally linked migration, and to construct them as public problems.Three conflicting narratives have been elaborated in the international arenas: the “refugee” narrative, the “natural disaster induced displacement” narrative and the “migration as adaption” narrative. Their multiplication can be explained by their instrumental purpose and by the constant reformulation efforts undertaken by political entrepreneurs in order to include them in the prevailing cognitive and normative frames. As a result, these narratives appear to be out of step with academic findings that insist on the complex causal relationship linking environment to displacement. In Mali, the “refugee” narrative is the one predominantly used by ‘public action’ actors but it is part of a larger discourse focused on climate change, which is used to legitimise development aid flows. The narratives elaborated at the international level are thus selected and adapted to local cognitive and normative frames and agenda setting dynamics.

The thesis aims to familiarize readers with the basic concepts of environmental migration at such a pace as to enable discussion and reflection on the subject. The first chapter is introductory and defines basic concepts such as migration, environmental migration, refugee. The second chapter deals with environmental migration. Environmental migration is nothing new. Natural and human-induced disasters have been the cause of migration in the past and are likely to be the cause of migration. The third chapter deals with legislation on environmental migration. It examines refugee law, human rights law, or international humanitarian law. It points out that the existing legislation is not sufficiently developed. So far, there is no legally recognized definition of an environmental migrant. The fourth chapter looks at migration as a moral question, primarily in the optics of the social doctrine of the Church, the universal determination of goods, solidarity, and the direction towards the integral good. The fifth chapter deals with the little discussed or neglected ethical issues associated with migration. The last chapter is devoted to possible suggestions and solutions to environmental migration. It describes the most common proposals such as broadening refugee definition, enhancing disaster protection...

This thesis is a descriptive study of problem representations of climate-induced human mobility in policy. Two cases which are severely impacted by climate change have been selected for the analysis: Kiribati and Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Policies of these cases are analysed through a qualitative text analysis following the methodological approach “What’s the Problem Represented to Be?”. A particular focus is given to the issue of “planned relocations” as this is a form of human movement that is, per definition, driven by policy. The analysis found negative representations of human mobility to be present in both cases, but also positive representations in the case of Kiribati. Planned relocations were represented as something necessary and difficult by both the cases, but a substantial difference concerned the intended length of such movements. Lastly, this study highlights the need for further research on policy engagement in climate-induced human mobility.

Lorsque les aléas naturels se déroulent en catastrophes, les réponses des religieux, de l’Etat, et d’autres acteurs puissants dans une société révèlent à la fois les relations complexes entre ces parties et leur pouvoir dans la production des espaces auxquelles les survivants accèdent. La réponse en cas de catastrophe comprend la création d’espaces post-catastrophes, tels que des centres d’évacuation, des logements de transition et des sites de réinstallation permanente, qui ciblent spécifiquement un sous-ensemble particulier de survivants, et visent à les aider à survivre, à faire face, et à se remettre de la catastrophe. Les acteurs puissants dans une société dirigent les processus de secours, de récupération et de reconstruction sont des acteurs puissants qui cherchent à problématiser et à rendre un problème technique dans des termes qu’ils sont idéalement placés pour aborder à travers une variété d'interventions. Ce projet de recherche vise à répondre à la question: où les survivants d'une catastrophe reconstruisent-ils leurs vies et leurs moyens de subsistance? Il enquête sur un cas spécifique de la migration environnementale dans laquelle des dizaines de milliers d'habitants ont été déplacés de façon permanente et temporaire de leurs résidences habituelles après le typhon Sendong à Cagayan de Oro, Philippines en 2011. La recherche est basée sur des entretiens avec les acteurs puissants et les survivants, des vidéos participatives réalisées par des survivants pauvres urbains, et des activités de cartographie. L’étude se fonde sur la théorie féministe, les études de migration, les études dans la gouvernementalité, la recherche sur les changements de l’environnement planétaire, et les études régionales afin de situer les diverses expériences de la migration dans un contexte géographique et historique. Cette thèse propose une topographie critique dans laquelle les processus et les pratiques de production d’espaces post-catastrophe sont exposés. Parce que l’espace est nécessairement malléable, fluide, et relationnelle en raison de l'évolution constante des activités, des conflits, et des expériences qui se déroulent dans le paysage, une analyse de l'espace doit être formulée en termes de relations sociales qui se produisent dans et au-delà de ses frontières poreuses. En conséquence, cette étude explore comment les relations sociales entre les survivants et les acteurs puissants sont liées à l’exclusion, la gouvernementalité, la mobilité, et la production des espaces, des lieux et des territoires. Il constate que, si les trajectoires de migration de la plupart des survivants ont été confinés à l'intérieur des limites de la ville, les expériences de ces survivants et leur utilisation des espaces urbains sont très différentes. Ces différences peuvent être expliquées par des structures politiques, économiques, et sociales, et par les différences religieuses, économiques, et de genre. En outre, il fait valoir que les espaces post-catastrophe doivent être considérés comme des «espaces d’exclusion» où les fiduciaires exercent une rationalité gouvernementale. C’est-à-dire, les espaces post-catastrophe prétendument inclusives servent à marginaliser davantage les populations vulnérables. Ces espaces offrent aussi des occasions pour les acteurs puissants dans la société philippine d'effectuer des interventions gouvernementales dans lesquelles certaines personnes et les paysages sont simplifiées, rendues lisibles, et améliorés. / When natural hazards unfold into disasters, the responses of religious, state, and other trustees reveal both the complex relationships among these parties and their power in producing the spaces accessed by the survivors. The disaster response includes the creation of post-disaster spaces, such as evacuation centres, transitional housing, and permanent resettlement sites, that specifically target or appeal to a particular subset of survivors, and aim to help them to survive, to cope with, and to recover from the disaster. The trustees directing the processes of disaster relief, recovery, and rebuilding are powerful actors who seek to problematise and render technical an issue in terms that they are ideally placed to address through a variety of interventions. This research project sets out to answer the question: where do the survivors of a disaster rebuild their lives and livelihoods? It investigates a specific case of environmental migration in which tens of thousands of residents were permanently and temporarily displaced from their usual places of residence after Typhoon Sendong in Cagayan de Oro, Philippines in 2011. The research is based on interviews with trustees and survivors, participatory videos made by urban poor survivors, and mapping activities. The study draws on feminist theory, migration studies, studies in governmentality, global environmental change literature, and regional studies to situate diverse experiences of migration within a geographical and historical context. This dissertation offers a critical topography in which the processes and practices of producing post-disaster spaces are exposed. Because space is necessarily malleable, fluid, and relational due to the ever-changing activities, conflict, and experiences unfolding in the landscape, any analysis of space must be formulated in terms of the social relations occurring within and beyond its porous boundaries. Accordingly, this study explores how the social relations among survivors and trustees are linked to exclusion, governmentality, mobility, and space- and place-making. It finds that although the migration trajectories of most survivors were confined within the city limits, the experiences of these survivors and their use of urban spaces were vastly different. These differences can be explained by political, economic, and social structures, and by religious, economic, and gender differences. Furthermore, it argues that post-disaster spaces are best understood as “spaces of exclusion” where trustees exercise a governmental rationality. That is, purportedly inclusive post-disaster spaces serve to further marginalise vulnerable populations. These spaces also open opportunities for trustees to carry out governmental interventions in which certain people and landscapes are simplified, rendered legible, and improved.

The diploma thesis analyses environmental migration, that is, the human migration as a result of environmental change. The aim of the thesis is to assess and explain this trend in the Ústí region in Czechia, a region with an extensive experience of environmentally induced migration due to the deteriorating conditions of the local environment. Special attention was paid to potential migration and the perception of the environment by young people aged 15-29 years. A questionnaire survey was used as the main research method, covering questions about the environment and migration (including the perception of the environment, migration motivation or the character and preference of potential migration). The results suggest, for example, that young people living in an area with deteriorated environment perceive it in a relatively positive way. Most importantly, environmental conditions are not the primary factor leading to the decision to migrate, but a secondary one. Economic factors are becoming more significant when choosing the ideal place to live, rather than non-economic factors. Key words: development displacees - environment - environmental migration - environmental perception - environmentally motivated migrants - migration motivation - potential migration - residential preferences - the Ústí region

O presente trabalho desenvolve um estudo acerca das consequências humanitárias frente à degradação do meio ambiente, bem como da atenção dada pela comunidade internacional nos últimos anos a essa problemática. Desse modo, observa-se a interação em particular do impacto dos riscos e desastres ambientais de origem naturais ou tecnológicos, com os movimentos migratórios humanos dentro de países ou internacionalmente, os quais ainda são pouco explorados e estudados. Analisa também a busca por um sistema jurídico de cooperação internacional dos países, na proteção aos direitos humanos dessas populações que se deslocam devido a causas ambientais, garantindo-lhes com isso o acesso aos direitos humanos fundamentais à vida, saúde, moradia, dignidade humana, entre outros. A partir disso e da constatação da existência de problemas ambientais associados à migração humana, examina que os riscos ambientais não são equitativamente distribuídos, o que preconiza o movimento da justiça ambiental. Fatores como a pobreza, associados à vulnerabilidade de populações e comunidades inteiras, estão no centro da distribuição desses riscos. Devido a isso, pode-se constatar que a exposição de pessoas vulneráveis aos riscos e desastres ecológicos contribui para uma maior exposição à violação dos direitos humanos. Esta dissertação tem como desafios analisar a relação entre meio ambiente, riscos, desastres ambientais e migração humana, decorrente dos riscos e desastres ecológicos. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-05-30T16:28:57Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Vanessa Vergani.pdf: 878131 bytes, checksum: 0d83f6d697f88f51469e31fb9a15c1af (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-05-30T16:28:57Z (GMT).

Thus, it observes, particularly, the interaction between the impact of both risks and natural or technological environmental disasters and the human migratory movements within the countries or abroad, which have been little explored and studied so far. It also analyzes the quest for a legal system of international cooperation of the countries aiming at the protection of the human rights of these populations which are forced to flee due to environmental causes, granting themselves access to the basic human rights such as , life, health, housing and human dignity, among others. From that, and considering the existence of environmental problems associated to the human migration, this work examines that environmental risks are not equitably distributed, therefore professing the Environmental Rights Movement. Factors as the poverty associated to the vulnerability of populations and entire communities are in the core of this risk distribution. Owing to that, the exposure of vulnerable people to environmental risks and disasters contribute to a greater feasibility for human rights violation. This essay holds as challenges to analyze the relation among environment, risks, environmental disasters and human migration caused by ecological risks and disasters.
