Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Since 2003, over 4 million Iraquis have been forced to flee their homes, in what amounts to one of the largest people movements in modern times, far exceeding the Palestinian outflow after 1948. Despite media reports of an improved security situation in Iraq, the majority of refugees are still afraid to return. The social, economic, political and security consequences of such an event are huge. In this rigorous and timely book, Joseph Sassoon explores the underlying trends of Iraq's refugee flow: which class, ethnic and sectarian groups are going where and how. Based on extensive original research, he examines the economic impact of this exodus not only on Iraq but on the two main host countries of the region: Jordan and Syria. In addition he reviews in detail the situation of Iraqui refugees in other countries such as Egypt, Lebanon and Sweden. He analyzes international policy on the refugee issue, and asseses the options for return and resettlement--Cover. |
