- UNHCR as an actor in world politics since 1950;
- The refugee definition and protection instruments;
- Institutional strengths and weaknesses;
- Asylum crises in the global North and global South;
- Protracted refugee situations and internally displaced persons; and
- Key challenges faced by UNHCR for the future.
This third edition has been fully updated to account for recent developments within UNHCR, including structural and management changes and new initiatives, and in the global dynamics of forced migration, such as the crisis in Syria and debates in Europe. It also aims to expand our understanding of the political context within which UNHCR functions. The book seeks to develop an analytical tool-kit for UNHCR to navigate changes in the configuration of global power and to engage with new and emerging actors that have the ability to affect the organization’s work.
This book will be of great interest to students, scholars and practitioners of global politics and international relations.
