ISIM (Institute for the Study of International Migration) is delighted to announce the publication of Humanitarian Crises and Migration: Causes, Consequences and Responses Edited by Susan F. Martin, Sanjula Weerasinghe and Abbie Taylor Every week, thousands of people are compelled to move in the face of humanitarian crises, and yet for many, protection is out of reach. Humanitarian Crises and Migration: Causes, Consequences and Responses, published by Routledge Press, brings together leading experts from multi-disciplinary backgrounds. In reflecting on diverse humanitarian crises from around the world, they shed light on a series of key questions: In what ways do people move in the face of crisis situations? Where do people move? When do people move and for how long? What are the challenges and opportunities in providing protection to these crisis migrants? How might we formulate appropriate responses and sustainable solutions, and upon what factors should these depend? This edited volume, a product of ISIM's Crisis Migration Project, is now available in hardback, paperback and Kindle editions.

With thoughtful contributions from leading scholars that draw on global case studies, the complexities of humanitarian crises, moving beyond a series of isolated events into issues of global governance and structural inequality, are discussed. This is a timely and much needed book that should be required reading for all policy actors and practitioners responsible for the protection of people affected by humanitarian crises, whether forced to move or trapped in place. - Professor Susan McGrath, Centre for Refugee Studies, York University, Toronto, Canada The highly innovative and comprehensive study of migration in the context of humanitarian crises is most welcome and relevant not only for researchers but also policy-makers. It contains a wealth of information, including on little-known situations, that greatly enhance our understanding of the complex causes and dynamics of population movements. - Professor Walter Kälin, Institute of Public Law, University of Bern, Switzerland This important work provides a substantial and valuable contribution to the fields of international migration and humanitarian response. The relationships between these two sets of issues have enormous implications for human security and the analyses and recommendations in this study provide invaluable insights for policymakers and practitioners. - Professor Eric P. Schwartz, Humphrey School of Public Affairs, University of Minnesota, USA, and former US Assistant Secretary of State for Population, Refugees and Migration ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Note: The material contained in this communication comes to you from the Forced Migration Discussion List which is moderated by Forced Migration Online, Refugee Studies Centre (RSC), Oxford Department of International Development, University of Oxford.
