Forced Displacement - Why Rights Matter (Hardcover)

This book critically examines the policy frameworks and categories that determine the status and lives of displaced people, evaluating how rights-based approaches might work to achieve social justice.This is the first book to tackle the issue of forced displacement - internally displaced populations and oustees. It provides a unique rights-based approach to displacement, which allows an examination of the human rights implication of current policies. It includes case studies on a range of countries covering the Middle East, Africa and Asia.Uprootedness, exile and forced displacement, be they due to conflict, persecution or so-called 'development', are conditions which characterize the lives of millions across the globe. This book problematizes both policies and rights frameworks in processes of displacement, while bridging the divide that exists between refugee and oustee studies.
