This special issue of Refugee Survey Quarterly presents the experiences of front-line staff in Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) as they grapple with the implications of the global refugee crisis. Over the past 18 months, hundreds of thousands of people have moved from Africa and the Middle East to Europe, generating widespread media attention and considerable political wrangling. But for aid workers, this situation raises questions that get to the very heart of humanitarianism and its purpose in the contemporary world. How does an organisation like MSF, the pioneer of “sans-frontierism”, engage with the shifting politics of borders and migration? What, practically, does it mean to be a “borderless” organisation in a world where migration controls are such a big political issue? What are the implications of the refugee crisis for humanitarian principles and medical care? This introduction to the special issue brings some humanitarian dilemmas into focus, arguing that, in reaction to the migration crisis, aid agencies may have no option but to take a more robustly political approach.

移动世界中的人道主义困境

本期《难民调查季刊》特刊介绍了无国界医生组织 (MSF) 前线工作人员应对全球难民危机影响的经历。在过去的 18 个月里，成千上万的人从非洲和中东搬到了欧洲，引起了媒体的广泛关注和相当大的政治角力。但对于援助工作者来说，这种情况提出了触及人道主义核心及其在当代世界的目的的问题。像无国界医生这样“无国界主义”先驱的组织如何应对不断变化的边界和移民政治？什么，实际上，在一个移民控制是一个如此大的政治问题的世界里，它是否意味着成为一个“无国界”组织？难民危机对人道主义原则和医疗保健有何影响？对特刊的介绍将一些人道主义困境置于焦点之中，认为为了应对移民危机，援助机构可能别无选择，只能采取更强有力的政治方法。
