- Summary:
-
"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 international politics and 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, globalization, and regionalism - and highlights their relevance to forced migration."--BOOK JACKET.
