The First World War generated the mass displacement of up to 2 million people across the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. State authorities responded to this displacement crisis through the making of a network of refugee camps. As the war went on, refugee encampment shifted from a temporary method of containment to a long-term scheme of state-driven humanitarian intervention and welfare policies. This talk explores the emergence and transformation of modern refugee encampment as a tool of displacement governance as seen in Austria-Hungary during the First World War. This research is part of the European Research Council Consolidator Grant project “Unlikely Refuge? Refugees and Citizens in East-Central Europe during the Twentieth Century,” Masaryk Institute and Archives of the Czech Academy of Sciences.
