Product Details

Synopsis

Newman (of the Peace and Governance Program of the United Nations U.) and van Selm (political science, U. of Amsterdam) place the concept of human security on equal footing with traditional concepts of state security in their discussion of the problem of refugees and forced displacement. They present 16 papers that look at the problem from that perspective, discussing such topics refugee protection policies, the reconciliation of state and individual sovereignty, human smuggling and the right to asylum, gender and displacement, and media images of refugees and asylum seekers.
