内容説明

Refugees present challenges to the international community today comparable with those that faced the world at the end of World War II, when some 30 million refugees were scattered across Europe. Most of the existing institutions and mechanisms were developed to respond to the problems of these people, yet some 40 years on there are still millions of refugees in all parts of the globe. In many nations refugees have shifted population patterns, altered domestic politics and economics and shaped or even determined foreign policy. Even so, there has been little systematic research into policies regarding refugees. This book, with contributions from specialists in the field of refugee protection and assistance, examines some of the most pressing refugee issues facing the international community in the closing decades of the 20th century. Contributors discuss such topics as military attacks on refugee camps, voluntary repatriation, restrictionism in Europe, women refugees, churches and refugees and the future of Third World settlement, at the same time providing suggestions for new directions in policy and practice.
