The Oxford Handbook of Refugee and Forced Migration StudiesAuthor(s): Elena Fiddian-Qasmiyeh, Gil Loescher, Katy Long, Nando Sigona\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Oxford University Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Oxford University Press\nISBN-13: 9780199652433, 978-0199652433\nSynopsis\nRefugee and Forced Migration Studies has grown from being a concern of a relatively small number of scholars and policy researchers in the 1980s to a global field of interest with thousands of students worldwide studying displacement either from traditional disciplinary perspectives or as a core component of newer programmes across the Humanities and Social and Political Sciences. Today the field encompasses both rigorous academic research which may or may not ultimately inform policy and practice, as well as action-research focused on advocating in favour of refugees' needs and rights.\n\nThis authoritative Handbook critically evaluates the birth and development of Refugee and Forced Migration Studies.
