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

Making use of a case study approach, this thesis scrutinises the cooperation between four NGOs and the Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees (IGCR) and the International Refugee Organisation (IRO). How and why did NGOs and IGOs join forces to effectuate refugee relief? It turned out that interdependence played an important role: NGOs were reliant on the financial support from IGOs, whilst IGOs needed the ‘grassroot’ expert knowledge of NGOs. NGOs also distributed IGO support to the refugees and mediated on behalf of the refugees. In return, IGOs provided NGOs with legal assistance and advice. Moral arguments and preventive considerations (keeping the refugees on the right path and the fear for unwished precedents) played a lesser role in fuelling NGO-IGO cooperation. All in all, this thesis provides a first insight in the unstudied activity of Dutch relief NGOs directly after the war. The case studies are conducted against the backdrop of an extensive and inconclusive debate on NGOs and their role in the establishment of the modern humanitarian refugee regime.Show less
