Description: Immigration has become the great divisive issue of our times. In Refuge, Paul Collier and Alexander Betts set out a policy vision that can empower refugees to help themselves, contribute to their host societies, and ultimately rebuild their countries of origin.
Review Quotes: "Among other elements of autonomy and humanitarianism, the authors vigorously discuss the absolute necessity of jobs to create "a workable system that can sustainably offer sanctuary to the world's refugees." A vital contribution to a discussion that should be at the top of world leaders' agendas." --Kirkus
"In the end, what's more important - doing good, or the appearance of doing good? If we're as pure of heart as we like to imagine, we'll seek out the policy that saves the most people, full stop. And Refuge supplies an outstanding road map for getting us there."--The National Post"Lost in the row over Europe's migration crisis in 2015 were the millions of refugees who stayed in the developing world, unwilling or unable to journey to richer countries. Growing up in a refugee camp often means little education and no work. Two experts at Oxford University present the first comprehensive attempt in years to rethink from first principles a system that has long been hidebound by hand-wringing and old ideas."--The Economist
