Refugee Solutions in the Age of Global Crisis

At a time in history when refugees are traversing lands and seas-often risking death or succumbing to it-we need to think about solutions. In Refugee Solutions in the Age of Global Crisis, Androff lays out the viability of voluntary repatriation, local integration in the country of asylum, and resettlement to third countries. These and many other solutions are important to consider seriously. Androff has done this and invites the reader to do the same. * Luis H. Zayas, University of Texas at Austin *
David Androff's new book on refugees is based in his deep global understanding and practical commitment to solutions. He recognizes that climate change and other global crises will lead to more refugees, and the refugee challenge, while already large at over 82 million forcibly displaced people, is likely to become larger. Professor Androff offers illuminating case studies and sensible solutions to achieve human rights, successful integration, and sustainable social development. * Michael Sherraden, Washington University in St. Louis *
David Androff's book provides rich insight into the challenges posed by the intensification of forced migration and the relative weakness of enforcing global obligations towards refugees in the 21st Century. Drawing upon extensive knowledge of human rights and social development, Androff importantly draws attention to the centrality of integration or reintegration to each of the "durable solutions" and provides concrete policy steps to foster a more just refugee system. The book will be invaluable to scholars, students, and practitioners, spurring greater engagement on this critical global social policy issue. * Kathryn Libal, University of Connecticut *
