Migration, Refugees and Security in the 21st Century

This significant study examines in an academic manner such contentious issues as the nature, substance and thrust of migration in South Asia, the Indian diaspora in the United States, urban and transnational migrations and adaptations, global refugee movement and policy, statelessness in Sri Lanka and internally displaced persons in Bangladesh. The present work is a serious attempt to examine the interrelationship between migration, refugees and security in the 21st century. The authors have collected a plethora of relevant material, and marshalled their arguments in a readable manner. This volume is an excellent contribution to the extant literature on migration, its impact on refugees and security in the contemporary world. Hopefully, scholars, professionals in governmental and non-governmental organisations, social service organisations and the lay public will find the book topical and useful.
