This story forms a backdrop to explore and explain the refugee system. Departing from studies that create siloes of knowledge about just one setting or \"\"solution\"\" to displacement, the book's sociological approach describes a global system that shapes refugee movements. Changes in one part of the system reverberate elsewhere. Feedback mechanisms change processes across time and place. Earlier migrations shape later movements. Immobility on one path redirects migration along others. Past policies, laws, population movements, and regional responses all contribute to shape states’ responses in the present. As Arar and FitzGerald illustrate, all these processes are forged by deep inequalities of economic, political, military, and ideological power.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePresenting a sharp analysis of refugee structures worldwide, this book offers invaluable insights for students and scholars of international migration and refugee studies across the social sciences, as well as policy makers and those involved in refugee and asylum work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAbbreviations\u003cbr\u003e 1.    A systems approach to displacement\u003cbr\u003e 2.    Who is a refugee?\u003cbr\u003e 3.    Making a legal refugee regime\u003cbr\u003e 4.    Should I stay or go?\u003cbr\u003e 5.    Exit \u003cbr\u003e 6.    Hosting in the many Global Souths\u003cbr\u003e 7.    Powerful hosts\u003cbr\u003e 8.    Transnational connections and homeland ties\u003cbr\u003e 9.    Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e References\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Sociology%20\u0026amp;%20anthropology%20%5BJH%5D%22\"\u003eJH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52470053863704,"sku":"9781509542796","price":17.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509542796.jpg?v=1785630511","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-refugee-system-a-sociological-approach-paperback-softback-9781509542796","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
