Overview

Originally published in 1987, Refugees in International Politics explores the nature of forced migration. It sets out systematically the factors that set refugees in motion and explains how and why a flexible network of organizations copes with the inescapable results of their presence. It suggests measures to reduce both the human suffering involved in forced migration and the disturbing effects of international relations.

A. Stainsby, International Migration Review ‘Professor Leon Gordenker…is uniquely equipped to analyse contemporary refugee situations…’ Alan J. F. Simmance, Refugee Abstracts, Vol. 6, No. 3. ‘This book will be a useful introduction to the field for the student of international politics.’ Martin Barber, International Affairs, Vol 64, Issue 4.
