Migrants who were unable to claim a residence permit, were to be deported. Fifteen Turkish women resisted the Linkage Act, and went on a hunger strike for 39 days. Women, who were also mothers, going on a hunger strike was a new phenomenon in the Netherlands. This thesis analyses the following research question: 'How and why did the fifteen Turkish women decided to go on a hunger strike and use it as a method of protest?' This thesis aimed to answer this question by using interviews with the hunger strikers together with an analysis on gender, motherhood, support, and avoiding a precedent.Show less

De Immigratie- en Naturalisatiedienst (IND) en het Centraal Orgaan opvang Asielzoekers (COA) werden in 1994 opgericht in het kader van een bredere trend die zich voordeed binnen de Nederlandse overheid: het ‘afstoten’ van taken van ministeries naar verzelfstandigden uitvoeringsorganisaties. Het denken in termen van ketens en ketensamenwerking is vanaf de jaren negentig populair binnen de overheid en de oprichting van de asielketen werden door bewindspersonen als dé oplossing aangedragen voor het asielvraagstuk. De nieuwe ‘bedrijfsmatige’ uitvoeringsorganisaties zouden gezamenlijk beter kunnen omgaan met de substantiële verschillen in aankomst aantallen van asielzoekers. Deze scriptie onderzoekt de asielketen in de periode 1994-1995 en verklaard waarom de keten als bestuurskundig concept in de praktijk niet functioneerde.Show less

I argue that a shift in the debates within the Advisory Committee on Traffic of Women and Children can be discerned. This committee started off with a focus on mobility, which shifted to abolition and regulation, and finally to prevention and punishment. These shifts were influenced by the immediate post-war environment, the increased role of the state and the economic crisis in 1929. The committee was faced with different challenges and tensions that shaped the knowledge that was produced about sex trafficking. The image of sex trafficking they created is still topical today. Rather than repeating this image, I will critically engage with it and point out how sex trafficking came to embody a variety of issues that were prevalent at that time, such as miscegenation, emancipation and nationalism. By treating this committee as an example of international cooperation, of data collection during the interwar years and of experts gaining a better understanding of a ‘global’ issue, I will add to lively historiographical debates about transnational history, the importance of the League of Nations and the historical study of gender.Show less

Yet one region in Germany remained largely closed to the refugees and expellees: the French zone of military occupation. In 1945, the French occupying authorities refused entry to the refugees, and though they eventually took in some over the course of their occupation, it was an order of magnitude lower than those absorbed into the American, British and Soviet zones. This thesis investigates the reasons behind this initial French position of refusal and its evolution from the immediate end of hostilities in 1945 to the creation of the West German state in 1949. In doing so, it places the question of the refugees in the broader context of France’s overall war aims and its policy towards post-war Germany and Europe. The same security, economic and demographic concerns that drove France’s Germany policy also shaped its response to the refugee crisis; the issue of the refugees and expellees usefully illustrates the trajectory French policy took over the occupation period.Show less

The Netherlands stimulated emigration after the Second World War as well. Considering overseas demand for child migrants was high in the British context, this thesis explores the Dutch perspectives on the phenomenon of child migration. Following a governance perspective the thesis sets out to identify contributing factors and actors in order to explain the rejection of child migration from The Netherlands. The research is built on various primary sources including newspaper articles, personal publications, radio interviews and letter exchanges between governments and NGOs. These sources have identified both the Australian/New Zealand perspectives and the Dutch situation regarding children in The Netherlands during the post-war period. Ultimately establishing that the Australian and New Zealand governments were certainly interested in taking in Dutch children, but that the Dutch government were mostly apprehensive due to perceived Australian inexperience, a lack of parentless children and a lack of adoption regulations.Show less
