Résumé

This conference paper focuses on displacement from Iraq across international borders and argues for a longer term perspective on current Iraqi out migration. It offers an anthropplogical viewpoint on the notions of protection and security by interrogating the nature of power, politics and state-citizen's relations in the Middle-Eastern polities within which the experiences of Iraqi exiles are anchored. It is argued that these shape not only migrants' own perception of protection and security as being located inside close-knit family units but also, in part, what is conceptualised as 'the fragmented social organisation of transnational Iraqi migration' that predates by far the crisis that followed the fall of the Baathist regime.
