Description
Book SynopsisUsing case studies and first-person accounts from interviews and fieldwork in post-conflict settings,
Peace, Preference, and Property suggests policies that would provide greater choice for displaced people in terms of property restitution and solutions to displacement.
Trade ReviewSo far, few books have paid attention to the historical patterns of displacement, legal solutions, and IDP/refugee attitudes. Joireman successfully breaks the pattern of single-case studies in this area by providing an array of comparative empirical evidence and first-hand policy experience to demonstrate the misalignment of international law and preferences of victims of displacement. An excellent contribution to the field, re-orienting our understandings of durable solutions to displacement." —Neophytos Loizides, University of Kent
