Written by a distinguished group of social scientists, the essays
address critical aspects of the global refugee situation. The
contributors analyze the current problem from the perspectives of
law, ethics, and social science, paying particular attention to the
linkages and conflicts between international and national refugee
issues and concerns. Arguing that a serious gap exists between the
obligations undertaken by government delegations to the various
refugee conventions and what is actually required to meet the needs
of the displaced, the contributors issue a call for concerted
international action to address the refugee challenge, explore
alternatives to existing policies, and suggest choices consistent
with the goal of human dignity for all. Following an introductory
chapter on the nature of the refugee problem, the volume is divided
into four parts. The contributors first explore international
responses to the refugee problem examining such issues as the
rights of refugees under international law, the problem of
accountability, and conflicting trends in Western European refugee
policies. In a section devoted to the United States response,
topics covered include U.S. refugee policy in Africa, Central
American refugees, the role of Congress and the courts, and trends
in U.S. immigration law and policy. The following chapters address
the response of citizens and church-affiliated groups while the
concluding section examines ways in which countries can act both to
avert the flow of refugees and provide more effective protection
for those that need it. An excellent set of readings for courses in
international relations and international law, this volume is an
important step towards the solution of the international refugee
crisis.
