Description
Book SynopsisBetts develops the concept of "survival migration" to highlight the recent phenomenon of people fleeing failed or fragile states that are unable or unwilling to ensure their basic rights.
Trade ReviewOverall, due to its inter-disciplinarity, the author's clear writing style, and a balancedassessment of competing and relevant perspectives, Survival Migration: FailedGovernance and the Crisis of Displacement is convincing as well as very accessible to adiverse readership.
-- Hannah Baumeister * International Journal of Refugee Law *
This book is a brilliant and valuable contribution to international norm and refugee literature. It should most certainly be closely studied not only by humanitarian practitioners, but by all students of international relations and global governance.
