Book launch tonight in the Refugee Studies Centre in Oxford an eye-opening account of the migrant crisis which shows why our global refugee regime is broken and how it can be fixed.
Europe is facing its greatest refugee crisis since the Second World War, yet the institutions responding to it remain virtually unchanged from those created in the post-war era. As neighbouring countries continue to bear the brunt of the Syrian catastrophe, European governments have enacted a series of ill-considered gestures, from shutting their borders to welcoming refugees without a plan for their safe passage or integration upon arrival. With a deepening crisis and a xenophobic backlash in Europe, it is time for a new vision for refuge.http://www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/events/refuge-transforming-broken-refugee-system
