Welcome to IOU Digital Library

This book offers a balanced, accessible introduction to the complex global issue of asylum seekers and refugees. Through a combination of statistical overview, theoretical discussion, and a series of case studies — including Palestinian, Balkan, Rwandan, and Afghan refugees — the author explores the political, social, and humanitarian dimensions of forced migration. The volume examines national and international responses (especially in Britain, Europe, and via the United Nations), debates around asylum policy, challenges of return, and refugee testimony, making it a useful primer for students and scholars of contemporary migration and refugee issues
