(For info.)
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, a magazine of news and analysis
covering international security issues, recently completed a special issue
devoted to refugees and forced migration (see the table of contents below).
Because of the scope and quality of the publication we think university
professors might be interested in
using it as class material. We also think this is a pretty good a deal--80
pages of top-notch refugee reporting and analysis for only $3 per copy at
our bulk rate (10 or more copies) plus S&H. (Single-copy rate is $7.)
Academics and professionals who buy 10 or more copies for educational
purposes will get a free six-month
subscription to the magazine.

SEEKING REFUGE A special issue
"Introduction: Searching for Safe Haven"
Efforts to protect the world's uprooted continue to evolve as the number of
people fleeing war, persecution, environmental destruction, poverty, or just
seeking a better life nears 250 million.
"Neglect Is Never Benign"
By Bill Frelick (Amnesty International-USA)
A worldwide survey of refugees shows that the international community takes
too little action, too late when crises emerge.
"Nowhere to Run, No Place to Hide"

their own governments. They could be deported, starved to death, or
exterminated while the international community stood by.

By Gil Loescher (International Institute for Strategic Studies)
Increasingly, countries view refugees as security threats, ignoring their
need for protection and building barriers to keep them out.
"Unequal Protection"
By Karen Musalo & Stephen Knight (Center for Gender and Refugee Studies at
the University of California's Hastings College of Law)
When women are persecuted, it's often described as a cultural norm rather
than a basis for asylum.
"Is This Peace?"
By Michael Flynn (Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists)
Guatemala's uprooted must rebuild their lives in a country where extreme
poverty, violence, distrust, and fear remain.
"A Government of Their Own"
By Laura Neack (Miami University of Ohio)
European Union expansion may help Greek Cypriot refugees return home.
"Aid Under Fire"
By Nabil Handal (Catholic Relief Services)
Relief work in Palestinian refugee camps is not for the faint of heart.
"Chaos in the Camps"
By Howard Adelman (York University)
The flood of refugees from Rwanda included both innocent victims and
ruthless killers. Although U.N. supported and supplied, from the beginning
the camps in Zaire were ruled by thugs.
"Unpleasant Surprises Await"
By Arthur Helton (Council on Foreign Relations)
New forms of international cooperation will be needed to address the myriad
problems that arise when vast numbers of humans migrate.
