Who are refugees? Who, if anyone, is responsible for protecting
them? What forms should this protection take? In a world of people
fleeing from civil wars, state failure, and environmental
disasters, these are ethically and politically pressing questions.
In this book, David Owen reveals how the contemporary politics of
refuge is structured by two rival historical pictures of refugees.
In reconstructing this history, he advocates an understanding of
refugeehood that moves us beyond our current impasse by
distinguishing between what is owed to refugees in general and what
is owed to different types of refugee. He provides an account of
refugee protection and the forms of international cooperation
required to implement it that is responsive to the claims of both
refugees and states. At a time when refugee protection is once
again prominent on the international agenda, this book offers a
guide to understanding the challenges this topic raises and shows
why addressing it matters for all of us.
