By bringing together in one volume recent research on a range of different contexts of groups of refugees and refugee policy, it sheds light on the common assumptions that underpinned the history of refugees throughout the period under review. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe essays foreground the period between the end of the First World War, which inaugurated a series of new international structures to deal with displaced populations, and the late 1950s, when Europe's home-grown refugee problems had supposedly been 'solved' and attention shifted from the identification of an exclusively European refugee problem to a global one. Borrowing from E. H. Carr's \u003ci\u003eThe Twenty Years' Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e, first published in 1939, the editors of this volume test the idea that the two post-war eras could be represented as a single crisis of a European-dominated international order of nation states in the face of successive refugee crises which were both the direct consequence of that system and a challenge to it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach of the chapters reflects on the utility and limitations of this notion of a 'forty years' crisis' for understanding the development of specific national and international responses to refugees in the mid-20th century. Contributors to the volume also provide alternative readings of the history of an international refugee regime, in which the non-European and colonial world are assigned a central role in the narrative.","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45086014505111,"sku":"9781472585615","price":4475.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781472585615.webp?v=1767898628","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/refugees-in-europe-1919-1959-a-forty-years-crisis-9781472585615","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
