'This is a valuable collection of case studies and underscores the importance of basing our approach to individual protracted refugee situations on a thorough and rigorous understanding not only of the dynamics of the refugee situation itself, but the broader historical, political and regional context within which it exists. Such research and analysis will help identify the wider range of options and areas of cooperation that might lead to both short-term and long-term solutions to PRS.' Journal of Refugee Studies 'Protracted refugee situations entail great human suffering. When durable solutions are found, they often entail difficult dilemmas by posing trade-offs between humanitarian and political objectives. This book creatively and sensitively explores the possibilities for reducing the hardships of protracted refugee situations and softening the dilemmas of durable solutions.' Astri Suhrke, Chr. Michelsen Institute, Norway 'More than simply a well-informed "tour d'horizon" of the contemporary situation of refugees in Asia, this book provides an insightful and timely examination of how long-term refugeepredicaments might be resolved.' Matthew J. Gibney, University of Oxford, UK
