The author presents a comprehensive overview of refugee problems and assistance programmes since World War II, outlining reforms to address both the current refugee crisis and its unde…

  • Refugee Flows as Grounds for International Action

    Alan Dowty, Gil Loescher•ARTICLE•International Security•1996•Citada por: 19

    The end of the Cold communal, and religious clashes; the phenomenon of failed states; and reporting of humanitarian catastrophes as never before in world media have led many to claim a broader mandate for outside intervention in a state's internal conflicts.
