Refugee Challenge in Post-Cold War America

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Refugee Challenge in Post-Cold War America examines the geopolitical and domestic interests that have shaped US refugee and asylum policy since 1989. In the post-Cold War era, policymakers consider a wider range of populations as potentially eligible for refuge: victims of civil unrest, trafficking, and gender and sexuality-based discrimination.
