Jean-François Maystadt and Valerie Mueller

No 18, Research briefs from International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)

The conundrum over why experts’ global predictions of 50 million environmental refugees were not met in 2010 best captures how messages from advocacy and research can conflict with one another (Bojanowski 2011).
