Refugee camps are imbued in the public imagination with assumptions
of anarchy, danger and refugee passivity. Governing Refugees:
Justice, Order and Legal Pluralism challenges such assumptions,
arguing that refugee camps should be recognized as spaces where
social capital can not only survive, but thrive. This book examines
camp management and the administration of justice in refugee camps
on the Thailand-Burma border. Emphasising the work of refugees
themselves in coping with and adapting to encampment, it considers
themes of agency, sovereignty and legal pluralism in an analysis of
local governance and the production of order beyond the state.
Governing Refugees will appeal to anyone with relevant interests in
law, anthropology and criminology, as well as those working in the
area of refugee studies.
