The causes and consequences of this and international responses to displacement lie at the very heart of world politics; however, these important issues have been largely neglected by its primary discipline: International Relations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRedressing this gap, the book systematically applies International Relations (IR) theory to the international politics of forced migration. This represents the first textbook to merge conceptual tools of IR with empirical data on forced migration. It explains the central debates and concepts of IR - International Relations theories, sovereignty and statehood, security, international cooperation, global governance, global North-South relations, globalization, and regionalism - and highlights their relevance to forced migration. Using examples and in-depth case studies, \u003ci\u003eForced Migration and Global Politics\u003c\/i\u003e adopts a ground-breaking approach to offer valuable insights to an issue of increasing complexity and importance in today's world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlexander Betts\u003c\/b\u003e is Hedley Bull Research Fellow in International Relations at the University of Oxford, where he is also Director of the MacArthur Foundation-funded Global Migration Governance Project.
