Refugees Self-Reliance Development

<p>Evan Easton-Calabria's critical history of refugee self-reliance assistance brings new dimensions to refugee and international development studies. </p><p> The promotion of refugee self-reliance is evident today yet its history remains largely unexplored with good practices and longstanding issues often missed. Through archival and contemporary evidence this book documents a century of little-known efforts to foster refugee self-reliance including the economic political and social motives driving this assistance. </p><p> With five case studies from Greece Tanzania Pakistan Uganda and Egypt the book tracks refugee self-reliance as a malleable concept used to pursue ulterior interests. It reshapes understandings of refugee self-reliance and delivers important messages for contemporary policy making.</p><p> The first chapter is available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.</p>
