Refugee Camps in Europe and Australia (eBook, PDF)

An Interdisciplinary Critique

Redaktion: Razum, Oliver; Wild, Verina; Eckenwiler, Lisa; Dawson, Angus

Beschreibung

This Palgrave Pivot examines refugee camps in the EU, Australia, and their border zones. The approach is interdisciplinary, comprising perspectives of history, ethics, political science, literature, and health. The book argues that current practice of accommodating refugees is arbitrary and disempowering, ranging from strict regulation within nation states to detrimental conditions in extraterritorial camps. It instead proposes to increase public scrutiny of refugee camps, to enforce existing laws, and to endorse ethical place-making. With its contributions from a wide range of fields, this edited volume will be of interest to academics and students in public health, ethics, sociology, politics, and related fields.
