Rezensionen

"It is a superb example of academic erudition at its best.For several decades, students have trawled through internationalrelations theories but how many have applied them to such pressingcontemporary global issues? For teachers of forced migrationstudies, this will be an invaluable resource. Forced Migration andGlobal Politics should be required reading for undergraduates andpostgraduates alike." (Journal of InterculturalStudies, 21 February 2013)

"A book of stunning breadth, analyzing past and ongoing efforts,both theoretical and practical, to understand and address theblight of forced migration."

"Forced Migration and Global Politics represents thefirst serious attempt to apply the tools of international relationsto study the global politics of forced migration. While written asa textbook for undergraduate students the volume should be of muchinterest to senior scholars and policy makers interested in thepolitics of forced migration."
