Editorial Reviews

‘Mr. Gordenker’s work is of the greatest importance and could not be more timely…In a fresh and tightly-written style…he addresses the most important questions…why do people move, why have refugees become a permanent feature of the international scene [and] what are the nature and limitations of the international response.’ R. A. Stainsby, International Migration Review

‘Professor Leon Gordenker…is uniquely equipped to analyse contemporary refugee situations…’ Alan J. F. Simmance, Refugee Abstracts, Vol. 6, No. 3.

‘This book will be a useful introduction to the field for the student of international politics.’ Martin Barber, International Affairs, Vol 64, Issue 4.
