| Summary: | "This book reviews the situation and results of research and policies that have left refugees as a forgotten group in protracted situations. The work by experts who conducted field work in these countries includes case studies examining long-term protracted refugee situations in Nepal, Thailand, and Bangladesh, the protracted internally displaced (IDP) situation in Sri Lanka, and the refugee and IDP situation in Afghanistan. There is also a study of an emerging protracted refugee and IDP problem in Iraq. The final chapter presents an analysis of the lessons learned and the applications for policy. The book includes a valuable bibliography detailing research in this hugely important area." "This volume will be an invaluable resource for academics and policy-makers concerned with migration and governance issues."--BOOK JACKET. |
