The year 2001 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the Convention
Relating to the Status of Refugees. The Refugee Convention at Fifty
is a commemorative volume, but it is one that points toward a
future that will see a continued need for refugee protection. The
volume performs a much-needed task for the current era: it
carefully examines this key legal text, which impacts not only the
law but also the politics and sociology of forced migration. Joanne
van Selm and her coeditors have collected essays by scholars from a
wide range of disciplines, NGO staff members, international
organization professionals, and national-level policy makers who
discuss the impact of this legal document on forced migrants, the
states they migrate from and to, and the societies they join and
leave behind. Sub-themes covered include the potential for
solidarity between states in ensuring that legal and political
commitments are upheld; regional approaches to refugee protection
and displacement; and the human and social consequences of forced
migration for those covered by, or excluded from, refugee
protection. The geographic and disciplinary spread of the book is
unparalleled, and The Refugee Convention at Fifty sets for the
contentious and critical study of refugees the high standards for
scholarship and innovative thinking that will serve as precedent
for future policy making and implementation in the field.
