refugiados, deslocamento prolongado, soluções guiadas pelo desenvolvimento, soluções duradouras, meios de subsistênciaResumo
Este artigo examina as transformações dos deslocamentos forçados e o seu impacto na vida dos refugiados e nos seus países de acolhimento. O artigo propõe re-con-cetualizar a questão dos refugiados a partir de uma perspetiva de desenvolvimento, reconhecendo que o deslocamento forçado é tanto um produto quanto uma causa do desenvolvimento (ou a falta dele). Conceber a situação de refugiados dentro de uma perspetiva de desenvolvimento mais ampla constitui um caminho construtivo para a comunidade internacional fornecer soluções realmente duradouras capazes de expandir a liberdade, oportunidades e capacidades das pessoas para alcançar uma vida plena e reduzir as desigualdades e instabilidades globais. Na primeira parte, discute-se o fracasso dos estados em facilitar três soluções duráveis diante do caráter mutável dos movimentos de refugiados. Na segunda parte, propõe-se enca-rar a situação dos refugiados como uma questão de desenvolvimento, a necessidade de colmatar a falta de desenvolvimento-humanitário e a necessidade de contrariar o discurso negativo sobre os refugiados, de forma a dar a devida importância às oportunidades que a presença de refugiados apresenta. Na terceira parte, fornecem-se exemplos para demonstrar a maneira como os refu-giados criam soluções de subsistência para si mesmo, as suas contribuições para com as sociedades que os recebem e como as soluções conduzidas pelo desenvol-vimento podem ajudar o apoio aos refugiados e a gestão a longo prazo da presença prolongada de refugiados.
