Bringing together 45 contributions by leading researchers and practitioners, the Oxford Handbook of Internal Displacement provides an essential point of reference for advancing key debates around humanitarian aid, development, migration, sovereignty, rights, citizenship, identity, and social change, while raising the profile of internal displacement as a vital concern for research and policy agendas. The handbook was edited by the Head of EGRISS Secratariat, Natalia Baal, and professors David Cantor and Megan Bradley, Dr Winifred Ekezie and Dr Utz Pape.
This comprehensive handbook provides an interdisciplinary examination of internal displacement, bringing together scholarship from history, economics, sociology, law, public health, geography, humanitarian studies, development and peacebuilding, among others. It offers clearer conceptualisations of internal displacement and relates internal displacement to other types of displacement. The handbook develops scholarship from the Global South as well as North, providing new theoretical approaches and insights.
