About the program
DEMCAMP investigates how applied ethics can contribute to understanding and addressing the vulnerabilities experienced by refugees in refugee camps in the Global South. The project develops a normative democracy theory that can respond to the economic, legal, and political systems emerging in the camps. Within the project, the doctoral student will write a dissertation on the democratization of humanitarian organizations and their role in refugee camps, particularly organizations such as UNHCR.
"Democratization of refugee camps" (DEMCAMP) is a project funded by Swedish Foundations’ Starting Grant, via Riksbankens Jubileumsfond. The project's research leader is Felix Bender.
DEMCAMP asks what applied ethics has to say about the many refugees who do not live in the Global North, but remain in the Global South and, more specifically, in refugee camps. The project investigates how we can understand and adequately react to the vulnerabilities experienced by refugees in the camps. The project develops 1) a theory that better captures the vulnerabilities experienced by refugees in refugee camps and 2) a normative democratic theory that can address these vulnerabilities.
DEMCAMP shows that in refugee camps, we can see the emergence of economic, legal, and political systems, each of which functions according to its own rules and logics, leading to refugees experiencing a set of vulnerabilities that remain invisible if refugee vulnerability is defined externally by humanitarian organizations, such as UNHCR, and only thereafter applied to refugee camps. To react adequately to the vulnerabilities experienced by refugees, refugee camps need to be democratized.

The doctoral student will work with the democratization of humanitarian organizations and collaborate with the Principal Investigator (PI) regarding the roles that humanitarian organizations should play in refugee camps with a democratic structure.
