Description
Book SynopsisThroughout the twentieth century and into the twenty first, millions of people have been forced to flee their homes. The causes and consequences of this and international responses to displacement lie at the very heart of world politics, however these important issues have been largely neglected by its primary discipline: International Relations.
Trade Review“It is a superb example of academic erudition at its best. For several decades, students have trawled through international relations theories but how many have applied them to such pressing contemporary global issues? For teachers of forced migration studies, this will be an invaluable resource. Forced Migration and Global Politics should be required reading for undergraduates and postgraduates alike.” (Journal of Intercultural Studies, 21 February 2013)
