Children of foreign fighters of the Islamic State (ISIS)

Master thesis | International Relations (MA)
ISIS children: doomed childhood? An analysis of Dutch foreign policy on non-active repatriation of Dutch children of suspected ISIS fighters. It elaborates on the existence of islamophobia and rise of populism in Europe, and compares the Dutch policy with that of other European countries that did not repatriate, and countries that did repatriate children as their national citizens and why. This thesis researches what are countries' obstacles for active repatriation of these children, and what are the international binding agreements claiming about the situation. All to answer the main question: Why does Dutch foreign policy on Dutch children of suspected ISIS fighters not entail active repatriation?
