Over two-thirds of the world's refugees are trapped in protracted refugee situations, struggling to survive in remote and insecure parts of the world. This recently published volume brings together a collection of eminent scholars and practitioners to explore the sources, nature and consequences of these situations and the record of the international community's attempts to find durable solutions. On this basis, the volume presents new thinking to address protracted refugee situations that incorporates security and development--as well as humanitarian--actors and attempts to reconcile the policy difficulties which have obstructed progress for many years.
Join Gary Troeller and Brian Gorlick to discuss the findings of this important topic.
Gary Troeller's recent appointments include Co-Chair of the Inter-university Committee on International Migration, and visiting lecturer in the Department of Political Science, MIT. He is a former senior official with UNHCR.
Brian Gorlick is a Senior Policy Advisor with the New York Office of UNHCR.
