Description

Some 35 million involuntarily displaced people now live in refugee encampments. Many have been encamped for decades in these "de facto" permanent settlements. The encampments are a global phenomenon with over 90 countries hosting camps with over 1000 inhabitants, cutting across geographical regions, levels of development, and political and economic systems. In "After Involuntary Migration" Milica Bookman has produced the first comprehensive analysis of the political economies of these refugee encampments. Bookman's comparative work draws upon studies of over 30 encampments to illustrate the economic interaction between the camps and the neighbouring host communities. It examines the forms of legitimate and illegitimate discrimination that restricts the camps' participation in their host economies and reveals the different approaches to encampments in democratic, market-oriented host countries and hosts with command economies. Full of interdisciplinary political and sociological insight, this wokd should be of interest to social science scholars and policymakers seeking to understand the complex and highly differentiated nature of the encampment phenomenon.
