Catching Fire provides for the first time an in-depth analysis of
political and humanitarian catastrophes in which forced migration
characterizes the complexity of both the emergency and the
response. In the volume, a host of expert contributors examine
forced migration both within borders and beyond borders, exploring
the varied circumstances that lead citizens to become refugees and
evaluating the impact of relief programs on affected populations.
They present the findings of a three-year, multi-disciplinary,
international collaborative research project that focused on the
causes of displacement, patterns of flight and settlement, and the
consequences of conflict resolution and humanitarian assistance.
Through comprehensive analysis of the ongoing conflicts in Burundi
and Georgia, the crisis of displacement in Colombia, and the
humanitarian crisis in East Timor, among other case studies,
Catching Fire adds significantly to the ongoing debate between
powerful states over the management of forced migration in the
developing world. The volume is a must for policy makers,
practitioners, and scholars of forced migration and international
humanitarian response.
