Produktbeschreibung
Throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty-first, millions of people have been forced to flee their homes. The causes and consequences of this and international responses to displacement lie at the very heart of world politics; however, these important issues have been largely neglected by its primary discipline: International Relations. Redressing this gap, the book systematically applies International Relations (IR) theory to the international politics of forced migration. This represents the first textbook to merge conceptual tools of IR with empirical data on forced migration. It explains the central debates and concepts of IR - International Relations theories, sovereignty and statehood, security, international cooperation, global governance, global North-South relations, globalization, and regionalism - and highlights their relevance to forced migration. Using examples and in-depth case studies, Forced Migration and Global Politics adopts a ground-breaking approach to offer valuable insights to an issue of increasing complexity and importance in today's world.

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."
-Thomas G. Weiss, Presidential Professor and Director,Ralph Bunche Institute for International Studies, The CUNY GraduateCenter

"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."
