Developing DFID's policy approach to refugees and internally displaced persons [Volume 2: commissioned papers]

The Refugee Studies Centre (RSC) at the University of Oxford was contracted by the Conflict and Humanitarian Affairs Department of the Department for International Development (DFID), UK to conduct a broad-ranging study to assist DFID in defining a coherent policy position to inform its dealings with and on behalf of refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and asylum seekers. As part of the project a number of experts were approached to produce a collection of specialist papers focussing on key thematic and regional issues... this volume, which accompanies the main consultancy report, brings together the five thematic and three regional papers which deal with a selected range of the most important issues and areas.

Contents include: "The state of the international forced migration regime"; "The UK, the EU and Forced Migration"; "Making or breaking the conflict cycle: the relationship between underdevelopment, conflict and forced migration"; "Security and forced migration"; "lessons learned from specific emergency situations: a synthesis"; "Sub-Saharan Africa: Great Lakes Region"; "South Asia"; and "Middle East and North Africa".[Volume 1 is also available]
