Chapter 1 in The Political Economy of Refugee Migration and Foreign Aid, 2009, pp 1-9 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This book addresses the causes and incidences of refugee movements and the policy responses of Western asylum and aid-giving countries. In particular, it is focused on the positive and normative aspects of asylum migration and its management by Western industrialized countries. Thereby, asylum policy and aid policy are the main instruments of interest in this work. The book focuses explicitly on the following research questions: What are the driving factors of forced migration movements? How can refugee burdens be assessed and compared across different types of host countries? Who are the actors in international refugee protection and management, and how do they act? Is cooperation among asylum countries necessary, and possible? And finally, how does the phenomenon of international refugee movements, and specifically how do asylum seekers, influence the aid allocation politics of Western industrialized countries?
