Nexus Dynamics: The Overlapping Causes of Forced Displacement in the Haiti Disaster Context
Enzo Bertinato Giometti

Abstract
Throughout the 20th century, the world underwent transformations which led to structural changes on how drivers
to refugee flows take shape. Two aspects that have been notably affected by these shifts are key variables to
understanding contemporary refugee phenomena: violence and environmental factors. Today, many refugee
contexts are strongly influenced by those aspects; those that arise particularly from the interaction between both
stressors are referred to as nexus dynamics (ND). The article aims to explore the evolving nature of the refugee
concept, shaped by structural changes that encompass emerging forms of violence and environment imbalance. The
study, then, examines how ND manifests through a case in which a natural disaster exacerbated a pre-existing
condition of State fragility caused by long-term violence, as seen in the 2010 Haitian catastrophe.
