With the unrelenting unrest in places such as Iraq, Afghanistan and
the Sudan, the plight of refugees has become an increasingly
discussed topic in international relations. Why do we have
refugees? When did the refugee 'problem' emerge? How can the
refugee ever be reconciled with an international system that rests
on sovereignty? Looking at three key periods - the inter-war
period, the Cold War and the present day - Emma Haddad demonstrates
how a specific image has defined the refugee since the
international states system arose in its modern form and that
refugees have thus been qualitatively the same over the course of
history. This historical and normative approach suggests new ways
to understand refugees and to formulate responses to them. By
examining the issue from an international society perspective, this
book highlights how refugees are an inevitable, if unanticipated,
result of erecting political borders.
