Reviews

This volume clearly and persuasively pursues an original analytical concept through a number of well documented case studies.  ·  Jonathan Klaaren, Acting Head of the School of Law at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg

[This volume] illustrates the problems and challenges which contemporary displacement and migration pose, in particular how they expose legal, normative and institutional weaknesses and the consequences (in terms of human and broader societal impact) of protection and assistance failure.  ·  Chris McDowell, City University, London

Description

The “migration-displacement nexus” is a new concept intended to capture the complex and dynamic interactions between voluntary and forced migration, both internally and internationally. Besides elaborating a new concept, this volume has three main purposes: the first is to focus empirical attention on previously understudied topics, such as internal trafficking and the displacement of foreign nationals, using case studies including Afghanistan and Iraq; the second is to highlight new challenges, including urban displacement and the effects of climate change; and the third is to explore gaps in current policy responses and elaborate alternatives for the future.
