今年有一百万难民到达欧洲，埃里克斯兰大 贝兹说，“我们的反应，老实说，很糟糕。” 贝兹研究强行迁徙，每个家庭面对的困境：介于难民集中营，城市贫困，以及寻求安全时必经的非法危险旅程。在发人深省的演讲中，他提出了四个改变我们对待难民的方式，让他们对他们的新家作出直接的贡献。“难民不只是负担，”贝兹说。“他们是有技能，有才华，和志向的人，他们有能力去作出贡献－－如果我们给予他们出路。”

There are times when I feel
really quite ashamed
really quite ashamed

有些时候 身为一个欧洲人
00:16
to be a European.
1
4280
1240
我感到非常羞愧
00:18
In the last year,
2
6200
1855
在去年
00:20
more than a million people
arrived in Europe in need of our help,
arrived in Europe in need of our help,
3
8080
4576
超过一百万人到达欧洲需要我们的帮助
00:24
and our response,
frankly, has been pathetic.
frankly, has been pathetic.
4
12680
3280
而我们的反应呢
坦白说 是很可悲的
坦白说 是很可悲的
00:29
There are just so many contradictions.
5
17000
2320
这里有太多矛盾之处
00:32
We mourn the tragic death
6
20360
2456
我们哀悼
两岁男童艾伦 科迪的惨死
00:34
of two-year-old Alan Kurdi,
7
22840
2160
然而 从那之后
超过两百个孩子

00:38
and yet, since then,
more than 200 children
more than 200 children

00:41
have subsequently drowned
in the Mediterranean.
in the Mediterranean.
9
29880
2360
接连溺亡于地中海
00:45
We have international treaties
10
33960
1456
我们有国际公约
00:47
that recognize that refugees
are a shared responsibility,
are a shared responsibility,
11
35440
3216
承认接收难民是各国共同承担的责任
00:50
and yet we accept that tiny Lebanon
12
38680
3056
然而我们却接受面积狭小的黎巴嫩
00:53
hosts more Syrians
than the whole of Europe combined.
than the whole of Europe combined.
13
41760
3640
接收的叙利亚人比整个欧洲
接收的数量还要多
接收的数量还要多
00:58
We lament the existence
of human smugglers,
of human smugglers,
14
46320
3400
我们痛斥人口走私的存在
01:02
and yet we make that the only viable route
15
50360
3416
然而我们却使它成为
在欧洲寻求庇护的唯一可行之路
01:05
to seek asylum in Europe.
16
53800
2080
01:08
We have labor shortages,
17
56840
1856
我们劳动力短缺
01:10
and yet we exclude people who fit
our economic and demographic needs
our economic and demographic needs
18
58720
5456
然而我们却阻止那些
能满足我们经济和人口建设需求的人们
能满足我们经济和人口建设需求的人们
01:16
from coming to Europe.
19
64200
1840
进入欧洲
01:19
We proclaim our liberal values
in opposition to fundamentalist Islam,
in opposition to fundamentalist Islam,
20
67000
5936
我们声称 我们自由主义的价值观
与伊斯兰原旨派所奉行的相反
与伊斯兰原旨派所奉行的相反
01:24
and yet --
21
72960
1200
然而--
01:27
we have repressive policies
22
75560
2656
我们用高压政策
01:30
that detain child asylum seekers,
23
78240
2320
扣押儿童避难寻求者
01:33
that separate children
from their families,
from their families,
24
81160
2800
使孩子与他们的家庭分离
01:36
and that seize property from refugees.
25
84800
2920
强行没收难民财产
01:40
What are we doing?
26
88960
1240
我们在做什么
01:42
How has the situation come to this,
27
90640
2416
情况是如何发展到这般地步的
01:45
that we've adopted such an inhumane
response to a humanitarian crisis?
response to a humanitarian crisis?
28
93080
4800
我们正在以一种不人道的方式
应对一场人道主义危机
应对一场人道主义危机
01:51
I don't believe
it's because people don't care,
it's because people don't care,
29
99280
2416
我不相信是因为
人们不关心
人们不关心
01:53
or at least I don't want to believe
it's because people don't care.
it's because people don't care.
30
101720
3176
至少 我不愿相信如此
01:56
I believe it's because
our politicians lack a vision,
our politicians lack a vision,
31
104920
3816
我认为这是由于
我们的政治家们缺乏远见
我们的政治家们缺乏远见
02:00
a vision for how to adapt
an international refugee system
an international refugee system
32
108760
3616
缺乏如何适应五十年前提出的
为了应对一个不断变化和全球化的
02:04
created over 50 years ago
33
112400
2136
02:06
for a changing and globalized world.
34
114560
2800
国际难民体系
02:09
And so what I want to do
is take a step back
is take a step back
35
117800
2536
所以我想做的是 退后一步
02:12
and ask two really fundamental questions,
36
120360
3416
提出两个非常基本的问题
02:15
the two questions we all need to ask.
37
123800
2456
这是我们都必须了解的问题
02:18
First, why is the current
system not working?
system not working?
38
126280
3296
首先 为什么现有的体系不起作用
02:21
And second, what can we do to fix it?
39
129600
3400
其次 我们如何解决
02:26
So the modern refugee regime
40
134760
2056
现代难民体系
02:28
was created in the aftermath
of the Second World War by these guys.
of the Second World War by these guys.
41
136840
4080
是在二战后制定的 由这些人
02:34
Its basic aim is to ensure
42
142000
3136
它的初衷是为了确保
02:37
that when a state fails,
or worse, turns against its own people,
or worse, turns against its own people,
43
145160
4216
当某个国家崩溃 或者更糟
政权与该国人民敌对
政权与该国人民敌对
02:41
people have somewhere to go,
44
149400
1576
这些人民可以有地方去投奔
02:43
to live in safety and dignity
until they can go home.
until they can go home.
45
151000
3656
在那里安全而有尊严地生活
直到他们可以回到家乡
直到他们可以回到家乡
02:46
It was created precisely for situations
like the situation we see in Syria today.
like the situation we see in Syria today.
46
154680
5280
这恰恰与我们今天在叙利亚看到的情况一样
02:52
Through an international convention
signed by 147 governments,
signed by 147 governments,
47
160680
4856
通过由147个政府共同签署的国际会议
02:57
the 1951 Convention
on the Status of Refugees,
on the Status of Refugees,
48
165560
3016
1951年 关于难民地位的公约
03:00
and an international organization, UNHCR,
49
168600
3176
以及一个国际组织联合国难民署 UNHCR
03:03
states committed to reciprocally
admit people onto their territory
admit people onto their territory
50
171800
4776
承诺在成员国相互之间
允许别国人进入其领土
允许别国人进入其领土
03:08
who flee conflict and persecution.
51
176600
2520
逃离战乱纷争和迫害
03:11
But today, that system is failing.
52
179680
2600
但现在 这个体系正在崩溃
03:14
In theory, refugees
have a right to seek asylum.
have a right to seek asylum.
53
182920
3440
理论上 难民有权寻求庇护
03:18
In practice, our immigration policies
block the path to safety.
block the path to safety.
54
186880
3960
现实中 我们的移民政策阻挡了
这条通向安全的道路
这条通向安全的道路
03:23
In theory, refugees have a right
to a pathway to integration,
to a pathway to integration,
55
191280
4336
理论上 难民有权寻求平等对待
03:27
or return to the country
they've come from.
they've come from.
56
195640
2040
或有权选择回到他们的祖国
03:30
But in practice, they get stuck
in almost indefinite limbo.
in almost indefinite limbo.
57
198360
3240
但实际操作中 他们被困于一种
几乎是无限期的停滞状态
几乎是无限期的停滞状态
03:34
In theory, refugees
are a shared global responsibility.
are a shared global responsibility.
58
202240
3080
理论上 难民问题是各国均担的责任
03:38
In practice, geography means
that countries proximate the conflict
that countries proximate the conflict
59
206040
4336
实际中 地理位置意味着
临近纷争的国家
临近纷争的国家
03:42
take the overwhelming majority
of the world's refugees.
of the world's refugees.
60
210400
3600
超负荷地接收绝大部分难民
03:46
The system isn't broken
because the rules are wrong.
because the rules are wrong.
61
214720
2736
原有的难民体系的规定
并不是导致其崩溃的原因
并不是导致其崩溃的原因
03:49
It's that we're not applying them
adequately to a changing world,
adequately to a changing world,
62
217480
3920
而是我们并没有随着世界的变化而足够运用
03:53
and that's what we need to reconsider.
63
221840
2000
那是我们需要重新考虑的
03:56
So I want to explain to you a little bit
about how the current system works.
about how the current system works.
64
224440
4496
因此我希望向你们解释一下
现今的系统是如何工作的
现今的系统是如何工作的
04:00
How does the refugee regime actually work?
65
228960
2160
现在的难民接收体系是怎样运转的
04:03
But not from a top-down
institutional perspective,
institutional perspective,
66
231560
2776
但这不是从上而下的宏观角度
04:06
rather from the perspective of a refugee.
67
234360
3320
而是从难民个体的角度
04:10
So imagine a Syrian woman.
68
238240
2456
所以 想象一个叙利亚女人
04:12
Let's call her Amira.
69
240720
1600
我们暂且称她为阿米拉
04:14
And Amira to me represents
many of the people I've met in the region.
many of the people I've met in the region.
70
242880
3880
阿米拉代表着我在该地区遇见的诸多难民
04:19
Amira, like around 25 percent
of the world's refugees,
of the world's refugees,
71
247560
3336
阿米拉 如同世界上约四分之一的难民一样
04:22
is a woman with children,
72
250920
1280
是一个女人带着孩子
04:24
and she can't go home
because she comes from this city
because she comes from this city
73
252840
3256
她没法回家 因为她的城市
04:28
that you see before you, Homs,
74
256120
2016
你现在看到的 霍姆斯市
04:30
a once beautiful and historic city
75
258160
2736
曾经美丽而富历史气息的城市
04:32
now under rubble.
76
260920
1496
现在满目疮痍
04:34
And so Amira can't go back there.
77
262440
1840
因此阿米拉没法回去
04:37
But Amira also has no hope
of resettlement to a third country,
of resettlement to a third country,
78
265120
4216
阿米拉也同时没有希望去第三国重新定居
04:41
because that's a lottery ticket
79
269360
1496
因为那就像中彩票
04:42
only available to less than one percent
of the world's refugees.
of the world's refugees.
80
270880
3440
世界上只有不到百分之一的难民才可能获得
04:46
So Amira and her family
81
274880
2256
所以阿米拉和她的家人
04:49
face an almost impossible choice.
82
277160
2176
面对一个几乎不可能的选择
04:51
They have three basic options.
83
279360
2400
他们有三个基本的选项
04:54
The first option is that Amira
can take her family to a camp.
can take her family to a camp.
84
282560
4960
第一个是阿米拉可以带着她的家人去难民营
05:00
In the camp, she might get assistance,
85
288520
2160
在难民营 她可能会得到帮助
05:03
but there are very few prospects
for Amira and her family.
for Amira and her family.
86
291160
3696
但对于阿米拉和她的家人
前景非常渺茫
前景非常渺茫
05:06
Camps are in bleak, arid locations,
87
294880
3256
营地位于荒凉贫瘠之地
05:10
often in the desert.
88
298160
1240
通常是沙漠之中
05:12
In the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan,
89
300040
2696
在约旦的扎塔利那民营
05:14
you can hear the shells
across the border in Syria at nighttime.
across the border in Syria at nighttime.
90
302760
4400
你可以在夜间
听到跨越叙利亚国境线的炮弹声
听到跨越叙利亚国境线的炮弹声
05:20
There's restricted economic activity.
91
308600
2576
那里的经济活动受限
05:23
Education is often of poor quality.
92
311200
2160
教育质量通常很低
05:25
And around the world,
93
313960
1336
而且在全世界
05:27
some 80 percent of refugees
who are in camps
who are in camps
94
315320
3096
约有百分之八十左右在难民营的难民
05:30
have to stay for at least five years.
95
318440
2536
不得不在待在那里至少五年的时间
05:33
It's a miserable existence,
96
321000
1896
这是悲惨的地方
05:34
and that's probably why, in reality,
97
322920
2376
这也可能解释了为什么在现实中
05:37
only nine percent of Syrians
choose that option.
choose that option.
98
325320
2600
仅有百分之九的叙利亚人选择了这个选项
05:41
Alternatively, Amira can head
to an urban area
to an urban area
99
329000
3976
或者阿米拉可以前往城市
05:45
in a neighboring country,
like Amman or Beirut.
like Amman or Beirut.
100
333000
3040
邻国的某个城市区域 比如安曼或贝鲁特
05:49
That's an option that about 75 percent
of Syrian refugees have taken.
of Syrian refugees have taken.
101
337000
4040
百分之七十五的叙利亚难民选择这个选项
05:54
But there, there's
great difficulty as well.
great difficulty as well.
102
342200
2720
但即使在那里 也是困难重重
05:57
Refugees in such urban areas
don't usually have the right to work.
don't usually have the right to work.
103
345720
4296
城市内的难民通常没有工作的权利
06:02
They don't usually get
significant access to assistance.
significant access to assistance.
104
350040
2960
他们通常没有获得援助的渠道
06:05
And so when Amira and her family
have used up their basic savings,
have used up their basic savings,
105
353440
3696
所以当阿米拉和她的家庭用光了基本储蓄后
06:09
they're left with very little
and likely to face urban destitution.
and likely to face urban destitution.
106
357160
3680
他们所剩无几 很可能面对贫困
06:14
So there's a third alternative,
107
362280
1840
还有第三个选项
06:16
and it's one that increasing
numbers of Syrians are taking.
numbers of Syrians are taking.
108
364920
3720
被越来越多的叙利亚人选择
06:21
Amira can seek some hope for her family
109
369840
4176
阿米拉可以为她的家庭寻求希望
06:26
by risking their lives
on a dangerous and perilous journey
on a dangerous and perilous journey
110
374040
3736
踏上一条可能葬送生命的危险旅程
06:29
to another country,
111
377800
1496
到另一个国家去
06:31
and it's that which we're seeing
in Europe today.
in Europe today.
112
379320
3520
这就是我们今天在欧洲看到的情形
06:35
Around the world, we present refugees
with an almost impossible choice
with an almost impossible choice
113
383440
5256
全球范围内
我们留给难民一个几乎不可能的选择
我们留给难民一个几乎不可能的选择
06:40
between three options:
114
388720
1816
在这三种选项中
06:42
encampment, urban destitution
and dangerous journeys.
and dangerous journeys.
115
390560
4200
难民营 城市贫困 和危险的旅程
06:47
For refugees, that choice is
the global refugee regime today.
the global refugee regime today.
116
395520
4320
对于难民来说
这个选择就是现今的全球难民体制
这个选择就是现今的全球难民体制
06:52
But I think it's a false choice.
117
400600
1640
但我觉得这是一个错误的选择
06:54
I think we can reconsider that choice.
118
402760
2080
我认为我们可以重新审议这个选择
06:57
The reason why we limit those options
119
405440
3360
我们限制了这些选项的原因
07:02
is because we think
120
410040
2480
是我们认为
07:05
that those are the only options
that are available to refugees,
that are available to refugees,
121
413080
4376
这些是难民能得到的仅有选项
07:09
and they're not.
122
417480
1200
但事实上不是
07:11
Politicians frame the issue
as a zero-sum issue,
as a zero-sum issue,
123
419120
3496
政客们把它塑造成一个得失所系的问题
07:14
that if we benefit refugees,
we're imposing costs on citizens.
we're imposing costs on citizens.
124
422640
3936
如果难民得益 那公民就需要承担损失
07:18
We tend to have a collective assumption
125
426600
2056
我们似乎认同一个假设
07:20
that refugees are an inevitable cost
or burden to society.
or burden to society.
126
428680
3656
难民对社会不可避免的负担和花费
07:24
But they don't have to.
They can contribute.
They can contribute.
127
432360
2080
但这不是定式 难民可以做出贡献
07:26
So what I want to argue
128
434880
1416
所以我想证明的是
07:28
is there are ways in which we can
expand that choice set
expand that choice set
129
436320
2976
我们有办法增加那个选项
07:31
and still benefit everyone else:
130
439320
2016
而且仍使所有人受益：
07:33
the host states and communities,
131
441360
1856
包括接收国和社区
07:35
our societies and refugees themselves.
132
443240
3320
我们的社会以及难民自己
07:39
And I want to suggest four ways
133
447080
1976
我想提出四种途径
07:41
we can transform the paradigm
of how we think about refugees.
of how we think about refugees.
134
449080
3840
来转变我们对难民的既定想法
07:45
All four ways have one thing in common:
135
453520
2440
这四种途径有一个共同点
07:48
they're all ways in which we take
the opportunities of globalization,
the opportunities of globalization,
136
456440
3776
我们都利用了全球化、社会流动性
和市场的契机
和市场的契机
07:52
mobility and markets,
137
460240
2056
更新了我们对难民问题的认知
07:54
and update the way we think
about the refugee issue.
about the refugee issue.
138
462320
3240
07:58
The first one I want to think about
139
466280
1696
我想首先考虑的
08:00
is the idea of enabling environments,
140
468000
2000
是创造环境这一概念
08:02
and it starts from
a very basic recognition
a very basic recognition
141
470720
2856
这来自于一个最基本的认知
08:05
that refugees are human beings
like everyone else,
like everyone else,
142
473600
2696
难民同所有其他人一样
08:08
but they're just
in extraordinary circumstances.
in extraordinary circumstances.
143
476320
2400
只是他们处在特定环境中
08:11
Together with my colleagues in Oxford,
144
479280
1976
我和牛津大学的同事们
08:13
we've embarked on
a research project in Uganda
a research project in Uganda
145
481280
2656
在乌干达开始了一个研究项目
08:15
looking at the economic lives of refugees.
146
483960
3040
研究难民的经济生活
08:19
We chose Uganda not because
it's representative of all host countries.
it's representative of all host countries.
147
487840
4056
我们选择乌干达
并不因为它是接收国中的典型代表
并不因为它是接收国中的典型代表
08:23
It's not. It's exceptional.
148
491920
1480
它恰恰是一个例外
08:25
Unlike most host countries
around the world,
around the world,
149
493960
2376
不像世界上大部分的东道国
08:28
what Uganda has done
150
496360
1456
乌干达所做的
08:29
is give refugees economic opportunity.
151
497840
2376
是给予难民经济上的机会
08:32
It gives them the right to work.
It gives them freedom of movement.
It gives them freedom of movement.
152
500240
3360
给他们工作的权利 给他们行动自由
08:36
And the results of that are extraordinary
153
504200
2896
这带来的结果是惊人的
08:39
both for refugees and the host community.
154
507120
2600
无论是对难民还是接收国来说
08:42
In the capital city, Kampala,
155
510480
1976
在乌干达首都坎帕拉
08:44
we found that 21 percent of refugees
own a business that employs other people,
own a business that employs other people,
156
512480
5415
我们发现百分之二十一的难民
开公司经营自己的生意 并雇用他人
开公司经营自己的生意 并雇用他人
08:49
and 40 percent of those employees
157
517919
2457
百分之四十的受雇者
08:52
are nationals of the host country.
158
520400
1976
是东道国的国民
08:54
In other words, refugees are making jobs
159
522400
2176
换句话说 难民在为东道国公民
08:56
for citizens of the host country.
160
524600
2640
创造就业
08:59
Even in the camps,
we found extraordinary examples
we found extraordinary examples
161
527920
3336
即使是在难民营 我们也找到了
有活力的、繁荣的创业企业的例子
09:03
of vibrant, flourishing
and entrepreneurial businesses.
and entrepreneurial businesses.
162
531280
3560
09:07
For example, in a settlement
called Nakivale,
called Nakivale,
163
535800
3336
打个比方
在一个被称为纳基瓦莱的难民营中
在一个被称为纳基瓦莱的难民营中
09:11
we found examples of Congolese refugees
164
539160
2976
我们找到了刚果难民
09:14
running digital music exchange businesses.
165
542160
2536
经营交易数字音乐的生意
09:16
We found a Rwandan
who runs a business that's available
who runs a business that's available
166
544720
3776
我们找到了卢旺达难民的生意
09:20
to allow the youth to play computer games
167
548520
2736
让年轻人可以在回收的操纵台和显示屏上
玩电脑游戏
玩电脑游戏
09:23
on recycled games consoles
and recycled televisions.
and recycled televisions.
168
551280
3760
09:28
Against the odds of extreme constraint,
169
556440
2816
冲破极端的约束
09:31
refugees are innovating,
170
559280
1320
难民们在不断创新
09:33
and the gentleman you see before you
is a Congolese guy called Demou-Kay.
is a Congolese guy called Demou-Kay.
171
561320
3429
你们面前的是一个叫达蒙-凯的刚果人
09:37
Demou-Kay arrived
in the settlement with very little,
in the settlement with very little,
172
565200
3656
他到达难民营的时候身无长物
09:40
but he wanted to be a filmmaker.
173
568880
2296
但他想成为电影制作人
09:43
So with friends and colleagues,
he started a community radio station,
he started a community radio station,
174
571200
3936
所以与朋友和同事一起
他创办了一个社区广播站
他创办了一个社区广播站
09:47
he rented a video camera,
175
575160
1736
他租了一个摄像机
09:48
and he's now making films.
176
576920
1496
他现在在制作电影
09:50
He made two documentary films
177
578440
1976
他已经拍摄了两部纪录片
09:52
with and for our team,
178
580440
1976
和我们团队 也为了我们团队
09:54
and he's making a successful business
out of very little.
out of very little.
179
582440
3320
并且他从无几的资源起步
拥有了成功的事业
拥有了成功的事业
09:58
It's those kinds of examples
180
586640
1976
恰恰是这种例子
10:00
that should guide
our response to refugees.
our response to refugees.
181
588640
2736
应该主导我们对难民的反应
10:03
Rather than seeing refugees
182
591400
1336
与其认为难民不可避免地依赖人道援助
10:04
as inevitably dependent
upon humanitarian assistance,
upon humanitarian assistance,
183
592760
3256
10:08
we need to provide them
with opportunities for human flourishing.
with opportunities for human flourishing.
184
596040
3400
我们需要给他们提供机会来实现人类繁荣
10:12
Yes, clothes, blankets, shelter, food
185
600200
4226
没错，衣服、毯子、避难所、食物
10:16
are all important in the emergency phase,
186
604438
2778
在应急阶段都是非常重要的
10:19
but we need to also look beyond that.
187
607240
2600
但是我们必须也要有长远的思考
10:22
We need to provide opportunities
to connectivity, electricity,
to connectivity, electricity,
188
610200
4336
我们需要提供网络连接、电力
10:26
education, the right to work,
189
614560
2280
教育、工作的权利
10:29
access to capital and banking.
190
617400
1720
资金和商业渠道
10:31
All the ways in which we take for granted
191
619560
2136
所有我们视为理所当然的
10:33
that we are plugged in
to the global economy
to the global economy
192
621720
2136
进入全球经济的途径
10:35
can and should apply to refugees.
193
623880
2560
能够并且应该提供给难民
10:39
The second idea I want to discuss
is economic zones.
is economic zones.
194
627280
3480
我想讨论的第二个想法是经济区
10:43
Unfortunately, not every
host country in the world
host country in the world
195
631320
2736
不幸的是 并不是世界上所有的东道国
10:46
takes the approach Uganda has taken.
196
634080
2040
都采用了乌干达的政策
10:48
Most host countries don't open up
their economies to refugees
their economies to refugees
197
636480
3336
大部分东道国的经济都不对难民开放
10:51
in the same way.
198
639840
1200
10:53
But there are still pragmatic
alternative options that we can use.
alternative options that we can use.
199
641360
4600
但是我们仍有实效的替代选择
10:59
Last April, I traveled to Jordan
with my colleague,
with my colleague,
200
647160
2536
去年四月 我前往约旦
和我的同事－发展经济学家保罗 科里亚一起
11:01
the development economist Paul Collier,
201
649720
1960
11:04
and we brainstormed an idea
while we were there
while we were there
202
652400
2856
我们在那里讨论了一个想法
11:07
with the international community
and the government,
and the government,
203
655280
2456
同国际社会和当地政府一起
11:09
an idea to bring jobs to Syrians
204
657760
2336
这个想法就是给叙利亚人带来就业
11:12
while supporting Jordan's
national development strategy.
national development strategy.
205
660120
3616
同时推动约旦的国家发展战略
11:15
The idea is for an economic zone,
206
663760
2800
这个想法是建立一个经济区
11:19
one in which we could potentially
integrate the employment of refugees
integrate the employment of refugees
207
667080
3536
在经济区里 我们可以把难民的就业
11:22
alongside the employment
of Jordanian host nationals.
of Jordanian host nationals.
208
670640
3480
和东道国约旦的国民就业结合起来
11:26
And just 15 minutes away
from the Zaatari refugee camp,
from the Zaatari refugee camp,
209
674840
3416
扎塔利难民营外仅15分钟的车程
11:30
home to 83,000 refugees,
210
678280
2136
此处安置了83,000名难民
11:32
is an existing economic zone
211
680440
2016
就是一个现行的经济区
11:34
called the King Hussein
Bin Talal Development Area.
Bin Talal Development Area.
212
682480
2720
被称为侯赛因国王开发区
11:37
The government has spent
over a hundred million dollars
over a hundred million dollars
213
685920
2776
政府投入了超过一亿美金
11:40
connecting it to the electricity grid,
connecting it to the road network,
connecting it to the road network,
214
688720
3816
来连接输电网和道路
11:44
but it lacked two things:
215
692560
1616
但是还缺少两个东西
11:46
access to labor and inward investment.
216
694200
2736
劳动力和外来投资
11:48
So what if refugees
were able to work there
were able to work there
217
696960
2896
所以假使难民能够在那里工作
11:51
rather than being stuck in camps,
218
699880
1816
而不是被困在难民营里
11:53
able to support their families and develop
skills through vocational training
skills through vocational training
219
701720
4016
在返回叙利亚前 能够负担家计
并通过职业训练来培养技能
并通过职业训练来培养技能
11:57
before they go back to Syria?
220
705760
1440
那将会怎么呢？
11:59
We recognized that
that could benefit Jordan,
that could benefit Jordan,
221
707840
2296
我们认识到这样做有益于约旦
12:02
whose development strategy
requires it to make the leap
requires it to make the leap
222
710160
2776
它的国家发展战略要求升级制造业
12:04
as a middle income country
to manufacturing.
to manufacturing.
223
712960
2816
作为一个中等收入的国家
12:07
It could benefit refugees,
but it could also contribute
but it could also contribute
224
715800
3696
这样做使难民受益
同时也有助于叙利亚的战后重建
12:11
to the postconflict
reconstruction of Syria
reconstruction of Syria
225
719520
2376
12:13
by recognizing that we need
to incubate refugees
to incubate refugees
226
721920
2776
通过认识到我们需要培养难民
12:16
as the best source
of eventually rebuilding Syria.
of eventually rebuilding Syria.
227
724720
3560
来作为最终重建叙利亚的最好资源
12:20
We published the idea
in the journal Foreign Affairs.
in the journal Foreign Affairs.
228
728760
3056
我们将这个观点发表在
《国外事务》期刊上
《国外事务》期刊上
12:23
King Abdullah has picked up on the idea.
229
731840
2216
约旦国王阿卜杜拉也采纳这个想法
12:26
It was announced at the London
Syria Conference two weeks ago,
Syria Conference two weeks ago,
230
734080
2976
两星期前 在伦敦叙利亚会议上宣布
12:29
and a pilot will begin in the summer.

737080
2600
试点项目会在今年夏天开始实施
12:32

12:37
The third idea that I want to put to you
233
745120
2696
我想展示的第三个想法
12:39
is preference matching
between states and refugees
between states and refugees
234
747840
3616
是国家和难民之间的偏好匹配
12:43
to lead to the kinds of happy outcomes

12:50
What we rarely do is ask refugees
what they want, where they want to go,
what they want, where they want to go,
237
758440
4000
我们很少询问难民他们想要什么
或是他们想去那里
或是他们想去那里
12:54
but I'd argue we can do that
238
762960
1856
但是我主张可以这样做
12:56
and still make everyone better off.
239
764840
2080
同时让所有人都受益
12:59
The economist Alvin Roth has developed
the idea of matching markets,
the idea of matching markets,
240
767640
4136
经济学家艾文 罗斯创造了配对市场的概念
13:03
ways in which the preference ranking
of the parties shapes an eventual match.
of the parties shapes an eventual match.
241
771800
5240
也就是双方的偏好顺序决定了最终的匹配
13:09
My colleagues Will Jones
and Alex Teytelboym
and Alex Teytelboym
242
777720
3056
我的同事威尔 琼斯和埃里克斯 泰特博因
13:12
have explored ways in which that idea
could be applied to refugees,
could be applied to refugees,
243
780800
4136
研究如何应用这个概念来解决难民问题
13:16
to ask refugees to rank
their preferred destinations,
their preferred destinations,
244
784960
3536
他们要求难民将偏好的国家排序
13:20
but also allow states to rank
the types of refugees they want
the types of refugees they want
245
788520
3776
但同时允许国家将想要接收的难民种类排序
13:24
on skills criteria or language criteria
246
792320
2816
基于技能或是语言的标准
13:27
and allow those to match.
247
795160
1696
最后将两种排序匹配
13:28
Now, of course
you'd need to build in quotas
you'd need to build in quotas
248
796880
2096
当然 你需要在多样性
和脆弱性这些方面建立配额
和脆弱性这些方面建立配额
13:31
on things like diversity
and vulnerability,
and vulnerability,
249
799000
3256
13:34
but it's a way of increasing
the possibilities of matching.
the possibilities of matching.
250
802280
3536
但这是一种能提高配对可能性的方法
13:37
The matching idea
has been successfully used
has been successfully used
251
805840
2496
这种配对理念已经成功应用于
13:40
to match, for instance,
students with university places,
students with university places,
252
808360
5136
比方说，配对学生和大学
13:45
to match kidney donors with patients,
253
813520
2496
配对肾捐献者和病患
13:48
and it underlies the kind of algorithms
that exist on dating websites.
that exist on dating websites.
254
816040
4136
它也突出了交友网站中的运算法则的重要性
13:52
So why not apply that
to give refugees greater choice?
to give refugees greater choice?
255
820200
3096
所以为什么不应用它来给难民更好的选择呢？
13:55
It could also be used
at the national level,
at the national level,
256
823320
2048
这同样可应用于国家层面
13:57
where one of the great challenges we face
257
825392
1984
在这个层面 我们面对的最大问题
13:59
is to persuade local communities
to accept refugees.
to accept refugees.
258
827400
3736
是说服地方社区接纳难民
14:03
And at the moment,
in my country, for instance,
in my country, for instance,
259
831160
2456
目前 以我的国家为例
14:05
we often send engineers to rural areas
and farmers to the cities,
and farmers to the cities,
260
833640
4176
我们经常把工程师送到偏远地区
把农民送进城市
把农民送进城市
14:09
which makes no sense at all.
261
837840
1856
完全没有道理
14:11
So matching markets offer a potential way
to bring those preferences together
to bring those preferences together
262
839720
4576
所以匹配市场提供了一种潜在的方式
来匹配这些偏好
来匹配这些偏好
14:16
and listen to the needs and demands
of the populations that host
of the populations that host
263
844320
3936
并且反映了接收国人民以及难民的需要和要求
14:20
and the refugees themselves.
264
848280
1840
14:22
The fourth idea I want to put to you
is of humanitarian visas.
is of humanitarian visas.
265
850840
3720
我的第四个想法是人道主义签证
14:27
Much of the tragedy and chaos
we've seen in Europe
we've seen in Europe
266
855240
2696
我们在欧洲看到的大多悲剧和混乱
14:29
was entirely avoidable.
267
857960
2000
是完全可以避免的
14:32
It stems from a fundamental contradiction
in Europe's asylum policy,
in Europe's asylum policy,
268
860400
4096
这起源于欧洲避难政策的一个根本矛盾之处
14:36
which is the following:
269
864520
1376
如下：
14:37
that in order to seek asylum in Europe,
270
865920
2496
为了在欧洲寻求避难
14:40
you have to arrive spontaneously
by embarking on those dangerous journeys
by embarking on those dangerous journeys
271
868440
5016
你必须要自行到达欧洲
经过一段我之前描述的危险的旅程
14:45
that I described.
272
873480
1200
14:47
But why should those journeys be necessary
in an era of the budget airline
in an era of the budget airline
273
875520
4736
但是为什么这些旅程是必要的
在一个存在廉价航空和领事馆的时代？
14:52
and modern consular capabilities?
274
880280
2416
14:54
They're completely unnecessary journeys,
275
882720
2336
这些都是完全不必要的旅程
14:57
and last year, they led to the deaths
of over 3,000 people
of over 3,000 people
276
885080
3776
去年 这导致了超过三千人的死亡
15:00
on Europe's borders
and within European territory.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Alexander Betts - Social scientistAlexander Betts explores ways societies might empower refugees rather than pushing them to the margins.
Why you should listen
In media and in public debate, refugees are routinely portrayed as a burden. Professor Alexander Betts argues that refugees, who represent a wide spectrum of professional backgrounds, are in fact an untapped resource that could benefit nations willing to welcome them into their economies.
Betts is the director of the Refugee Studies Centre at the University of Oxford, where he spearheads research on refugee and other forced migrant populations. His book, Survival Migration, explores the predicaments of people who are fleeing disaster yet fall outside legal definitions of refugee status.
