There is growing political concern about the increasing numbers of
people displaced both within the borders of their countries and
internationally. This volume explores the interrelated drivers of
contemporary global displacement with a particular focus on
low-level conflict, climatic and environmental change and
infrastructure development. The authors examine the governance of
global displacement assessing the protection needs and responses of
national governments and the international community. It further
considers options for improving the humanitarian and political
management of this growing problem.
