SUMMARY:The Refugee System
DESCRIPTION:\nThis incisive book tells the story of how one Syrian famil
y\, spread across several countries\, tried to survive the civil war and
live in dignity. This story forms a backdrop to explore and explain the
refugee system. Departing from studies that create siloes of knowledge
about just one setting or "solution" to displacement\, the book's sociol
ogical approach describes a global system that shapes refugee movements.
Changes in one part of the system reverberate elsewhere. Feedback mecha
nisms change processes across time and place. Earlier migrations shape l
ater movements. Immobility on one path redirects migration along others.
Past policies\, laws\, population movements\, and regional responses al
l contribute to shape states’ responses in the present. As Arar and Fitz
Gerald illustrate\, all these processes are forged by deep inequalities
of economic\, political\, military\, and ideological power.\n\nFor more
