Aprašymas

In the years since the US-led invasion of Iraq, over 4 million Iraqis have been forced to flee their homes, in what amounts to one of the largest people movements in modern times, far exceeding the Palestinian outflow after 1948. Despite media reports of an improved security situation in Iraq, the majority of refugees are still not prepared to return. The social, economic, political and security consequences of the Iraq refugee crisis are huge. In this rigorous and timely book, Joseph Sassoon explores the underlying trends of IraqOCOs refugee flow: which class, ethnic and sectarian groups have gone - and are continuing to go - where and how. Based on extensive original research, he examines the economic impact of this exodus on Iraq itself, and on the host countries of the region: Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. He analyses international policy on the refugee issue, and assesses the options for return and resettlement. The Iraqi Refugees is both the first and the definitive guide to what will come to be seen as one of the most significant issues affecting the entire Middle East._x000D__x000D_OCyThis excellent study is timely and deserving of a wide readership. It is written in a clear, jargon free manner that should make it accessible to a wide audience. I recommend this book to anyone concerned to understand the most critical refugee crisis of the twenty-first century.OCO - Dawn Chatty, Deputy Director of the Refugee Studies Centre, Oxford University_x000D__x000D_OCyA welcome and important contributionOCO - The Middle East in London
