Reviews

"The most comprehensive and balanced analysis of an issue of increasing importance both for national security and for world politics."--Stanley Hoffmann, Harvard University
"An essential book for scholars, students, and libraries."--American Political Science Review"R
"Professor Loescher's book is the most comprehensive and balanced analysis of an issue of increasing importance both for national security and for world politics. Anyone who wants to find out about the directions of the global refugee crisis, about the mechanisms that have tried to cope with it in the past and today, and about what ought to be done, should read this impressive work."--Stanley Hoffmann, Harvard University
"For years, Gil Loescher has written tellingly on refugees as a problem for governments the world over, and on policies the major powers might pursue to cope with the ever-growing tides of desperate people. In Beyond Charity he brings all his previous work together into a masterful account of the international refugee "regime" and its strengths and (mostly) weaknesses. It is a book that should be read by students of international relations hoping to
understand the many and complex facets of the refugee problem. Even more, it should be read by policy makers in search of solutions."--Richard H. Ullman, Princeton University
"Gil Loescher, already our leading specialist on refugees, has now written the most informative and important book on this subject of growing international concern. Beyond Charity not only provides an authoritative guide to the dimensions and complexities of the refugee challenge, but persuasively sets forth a new approach resting on preventive, rather than reactive or philanthropic diplomacy. No one conerned with refugees can afford to ignore
Loescher's well-reasoned argument."--Richard Falk, Princeton University
"In Beyond Charity Dr. Loescher lays out for all to see the inescapable logic that humane effective responses to the world's refugees are not only right but are in our own self interest. Policy makers take note: Walling out the world doesn't work; responding constructively to human reality may."--Roger Winter, Director, U.S. Committee for Refugees
"A timely and comprehensive work, this is a major contribution to understanding the politics and practice of refugee policy. By writing about the limits of action (in terms of political, social, cultural and economic factors) and the short- and long-range measures that might help address various aspects of the problem, Loescher offers a thoughtful, sober, and pragmatic assessment."--Peter I. Rose, Smith College
"A good read...enormously detailed."--Jonathan Power, Syndicated Columnist
"A solid addition to refugee studies, its historical overview being especially useful."--National Catholic Reporter
"Very few persons know more about refugee affairs than Gil Loescher of Notre Dame University. Loescher has now put in one volume most of the basics, and some new ideas, about this perplexing and important subject....This is an essential book for scholars, students, and libraries....This is a fine book, at once informative and creative."--International Relations
"An important new book."--
