The essay analyzes the impact of partition in the creation of a large number of refugees in South Asia. By comparing the condition of refugees and IDPs to the general migrants' condition, the essay explores the role of migrants in the definition of politics. The essay suggests that in order to address the issues of care, responsibility and justice in a productive way, it is necessary to adopt not just an international approach and use of international treaties, agreements and protocols useful in addressing these issues, but also a transnational approach: a strategy capable of seeing politically from the point of view of migrants and refugees and using this agenda in the multifarious forms of State and non-State structures.

Abstract
The essay analyzes the impact of partition in the creation of a large number of refugees in South Asia. By comparing the condition of refugees and IDPs to the general migrants' condition, the essay explores the role of migrants in the definition of politics. The essay suggests that in order to address the issues of care, responsibility and justice in a productive way, it is necessary to adopt not just an international approach and use of international treaties, agreements and protocols useful in addressing these issues, but also a transnational approach: a strategy capable of seeing politically from the point of view of migrants and refugees and using this agenda in the multifarious forms of State and non-State structures.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
