About the Book

Catching Fire provides for the first time an in-depth analysis of political and humanitarian catastrophes in which forced migration characterizes the complexity of both the emergency and the response. In the volume, a host of expert contributors examine forced migration both within borders and beyond borders, exploring the varied circumstances that lead citizens to become refugees and evaluating the impact of relief programs on affected populations. They present the findings of a three-year, multi-disciplinary, international collaborative research project that focused on the causes of displacement, patterns of flight and settlement, and the consequences of conflict resolution and humanitarian assistance. Through comprehensive analysis of the ongoing conflicts in Burundi and Georgia, the crisis of displacement in Colombia, and the humanitarian crisis in East Timor, among other case studies, Catching Fire adds significantly to the ongoing debate between powerful states over the management of forced migration in the developing world. The volume is a must for policy makers, practitioners, and scholars of forced migration and international humanitarian response.

Review :
Catching Fire deals with some of the most difficult cases of forced displacement in the world today. Leading experts outline how these crises came about and why they continue to persist. This book should be recommended reading for policymakers, practitioners, and students of forced migration. A penetrating analysis of what goes wrong in the national and international response to humanitarian emergencies and how best to remedy problems in the field and at headquarters. It should greatly assist policymakers and practitioners in better understanding the dynamics of forced migration and designing comprehensive approaches to address the plight of the world’s millions of forcibly uprooted people. Based on extensive research in six of the world's most complex recent humanitarian emergencies, Catching Fire provides a particularly incisive analysis of the international community's response to the problems of armed conflict and human displacement. Catching Fire makes clear the terrible burdens posed by forced migration as well as the difficulties responding to forced migration.... Will likely prove of most interest to practitioners and theorists concerned with refugees and internally displaced persons.... A clear overview of the complexity of the complexity of modern forced migration. A wide-ranging and timely collection of case studies about the international humanitarian system’s inadequacies in aiding and protecting the diverse categories of war victims who are forced to move. This book is necessary grounding for future thinking about changing that system.
