When the world is abuzz with discussions about the movement of people, this book emerges as a valuable resource, offering a comprehensive and accessible guide to the complex subject of forced migration. It caters to students and provides a clear understanding of who forced migrants are, where they originate from, and the importance of international protection in a world where restrictive legislation and policies are becoming more prevalent.

The book delves into key definitions, ideas, concepts, points for discussion, theories, and case studies related to various forms of forced migration. In addition to providing a solid technical foundation, it also offers valuable insights by highlighting further reading and featuring concise Key Thinker boxes that summarize the work of influential academics in the field.

Drawing on decades of experience in both the classroom and the field, the book encourages readers to critically examine how labels and definitions are employed in legal, policy, and practice responses to forced migration. It fosters a deeper understanding of the lives and realities of forced migrants, challenging preconceptions and promoting empathy.

Ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching in courses related to migration and diaspora studies, Introducing Forced Migration also holds significance for policy-makers, practitioners, journalists, volunteers, and aid workers engaged in assisting refugees, internally displaced individuals, and those affected by trafficking. By providing a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach, this book equips readers with the knowledge and tools necessary to address the challenges and complexities of forced migration effectively.
