| Summary |
"The crisis of internally displaced persons (IDPs) was first confronted in the 1980s, and the problems of those suffering from this type of forced migration have grown continually since then. This volume traces the normative, legal, institutional, and political responses to the challenges of assisting and protecting IDPs. Internal Displacement will appeal to students, scholars, and practitioners with interests in war and peace, forced migration, human rights, and global governance."--BOOK JACKET |
