Refugees in International Relations
Oxford University Press
Edited by Alexander Betts and Gil Loescher

Refugees lie at the heart of world politics. The causes and consequences of, and responses to, human displacement are intertwined with many of the core concerns of International Relations. Yet, scholars of International Relations have generally bypassed the study of refugees, and Forced Migration Studies has generally bypassed insights from International Relations. Refugees in International Relations therefore represents an attempt to bridge the divide between these disciplines, and to place refugees within the mainstream of International Relations.

Meet some of the authors at the launch, featuring a panel discussion, audience Q & A, and a reception. Refreshments will be served.
