The Center for Migration Studies of New York Releases Special Issue of Journal on Migration and Human Security (JMHS)

The Center for Migration Studies of New York (CMS) has published a Special Issue of the Journal on Migration and Human Security (JMHS) titled “Protracted Displacement, the Search for Solutions, Promising Programs and Strategies.”

The special issue was edited by Donald Kerwin and Elizabeth Ferris. It features ten articles that focus on the situations of several large and some smaller and less-publicized populations in protracted displacement. The special issue covers both groups outside their countries of origin and internally displaced persons (IDPs). Among other populations, the papers highlight Rohingya refugees in southeast Bangladesh; Syrians in Turkey since 2011; Afghans in Pakistan since the 1970s; IDPs living on the outskirts of Baku, Azerbaijan; IDPs and Venezuelans in Colombia; Somalis in Ethiopia and Kenya; Central Americans seeking protection in Mexico and the United States; IDPs in Northern Mexico; and Syrian, Iraqi, Yemeni, Sudanese, Somali, and Iranian refugees in Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon.
