Protracted refugee situations : political, human rights and security implications

Over two-thirds of the world's refugees are trapped in protracted refugee situations, struggling to survive in remote and insecure parts of the world.

This volume, bringing together a collection of eminent scholars and practitioners, presents a range of analyses and cases of protracted refugee situations.

It explores the sources, nature and consequences of these situations, and the record of the international community's attempts to find durable solutions.

On this basis, the volume presents new thinking to address protracted refugee situations which incorporates security and development - as well as humanitarian - actors and attempts to reconcile the policy difficulties which have obstructed progress for many years.
