Background:

Phil Orchard's main research interests focus on how cooperation emerges and evolves in international society among states and other actors. He is particular concerned with how states cooperate over time to deal with differing forms of forced migration, including refugees and internally displaced persons.

Phil's doctoral dissertation examined the origins and evolution of the international refugee regime since the 17th Century. Forthcoming publications focus on the historical role of international organizations in protecting refugees and on the role of soft law in protecting internally displaced persons, while his next major project examines the propsensity of states to displace their own populations and how to better tailor the international response.

Phil has served as a Canadian Department of National Defence Security and Defense Forum Post-Doctoral Fellow, He has also been a Canadian Consortium on Human Security Human Security Fellow and held a Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada doctoral fellowship. He has previously worked as the Assistant to the Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Internally Displaced Persons, and as a research assistant with the Brookings Institution- City University of New York Project on Internal Displacement.
