Ethics and Practice

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Combines qualitative fieldwork with analytic philosophy to provide guidelines for when it is right to help refugees repatriate

Every year, millions of people flee their countries to seek asylum abroad. When they arrive, many are forced into enclosed camps or denied residency rights. Some try to repatriate home, preferring the risks of returning to a life without freedom. Mollie Gerver considers when bodies such as the UN, government agencies and NGOs ought to help refugees to return home. Drawing on original interviews with 172 refugees before and after repatriation, she resolves seven moral puzzles arising from repatriation.
