E-raamat: Refugee Solutions in the Age of Global Crisis: Human Rights, Integration, and Sustainable Development

"Refugee Solutions in the Age of Global Crisis: Human Rights, Integration, and Sustainable Development addresses the question of what to do about the global refugee crisis. One in every ninety-five people on the planet has been forcibly displaced from their home, the collective response is woefully inadequate. Through comparative case study, this book provides the first policy analysis of all three durable solutions in the context of the global refugee crisis. The durable solutions are designed to find apermanent place for refugees were developed more than 70 years ago. Last year, fewer than two percent of refugees found their way any of these solutions. Reforming yesterday's solutions requires understanding how they have been used, how they have failed, and how they can be improved. Comparative case studies of the Somali Voluntary Repatriation Program, the Kalobeyei Integrated Settlement, and the Arizona Refugee Empowerment Project provide a comprehensive, global, and timely policy analysis grounded insocial work, human rights, and sustainable development. The policy analysis of all three durable solutions is comprehensive, these are rarely considered together. The policy analysis is global in scope as the case studies are from refugee policies and populations from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and North America. The policy analysis is timely in its focus on contemporary voluntary repatriation, local integration, and third country resettlement programs. This book offers implications for improving refugee solutions to promote human rights, integration, and sustainable development. This is vital to counter the rising tide of restrictionist, anti-refugee sentiment and policies"--

One in every ninety-five people on the planet has been forcibly displaced from their home and our collective response is woefully inadequate. Through comparative case study, Refugee Solutions in the Age of Global Crisis provides the first policy analysis in 70 years of the three durable solutions -- voluntary repatriation, local integration, and third country resettlement -- and offers implications for their reform. Reforming yesterday's solutions requires understanding how they have been used, how they have failed, and how they can be improved.

Using comparative case studies of the Somali Voluntary Repatriation Program, the Kalobeyei Integrated Settlement, and the Arizona Refugee Empowerment Project this book provides a comprehensive, global, and timely policy analysis grounded in social work, human rights, and sustainable development. The case studies focus on refugee policies and populations from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and North America, as well as contemporary voluntary repatriation, local integration, and third country resettlement programs. This book offers implications for improving refugee solutions to promote human rights, integration, and sustainable development. This is vital to counter the rising tide of restrictionist, anti-refugee sentiment and policies.
