A Right to flee : refugees, states, and the construction of international cooperation / Dr. Phil Orchard, Lecturer in International Relations and Peace and Conflict Studies, University of Queensland.

"This book began over a decade ago, in 2001, when I began working on the issue of internal displacement at the United Nations. I was surprised at the time by International Relations scholars' neglect of internally displaced persons (IDP) as an international issue. As I began my PhD, I realized that deeper questions existed around the basic state practices that underpin policies towards both IDPs and refugees"-- Provided by publisher.
