Refugees In Inter-War Europe: The Emergence Of A Regime

Refugees in Inter-War Europe: The Emergence of a Regime

Review "An invaluable study of the principles, norms, and negotiations among public and private institutions that constituted the regime....Recommended highly."--Choice"Skran's fine book teaches us a lot about international cooperation on the refugee issue."--American Political Science Review This book examines the refugee phenomenon, specifically refugees in inter-war Europe, and international responses to that phenomenon. It explores the causes and consequences of refugee movements throughout this century, analyzes international responses to European refugee movements from 1919 until 1939, and evaluates the impact of international efforts on government policy toward refugees. The major argument of this book is that international assistance efforts of the inter-war era composed an international regime, and this regime had--and continues to have-- significant impact on refugee policy.
