The Securitization of Migration in South Asia: Implications for Rohingyas

It critically examines how migration is framed as a security threat, and the consequences of this framing for refugees, host populations, and national security policy. Drawing on securitization theory, the research combines discourse/document analysis of government policy documents, official statements, and media coverage with fieldwork-based expert and stakeholder interviews conducted in India and Bangladesh, to explore the intersection of migration, security, and human rights in the South Asian context.
