Overview

In this book Phillip Cole calls for a radical review of what international protection looks like and who is entitled to it. The book brings together different issues of forced displacement in one place to provide a systematic overview. It draws attention to groups who are often overlooked when it comes to discussions of international protection, such as the internally displaced, those displaced by climate change, disasters, development infrastructure projects and extreme poverty. The study draws on extensive case studies, such as border practices by European Union states, the United States and its border with Mexico, and the United Kingdom. Cole places the experiences of displaced people at the centre, and argues that they should be key political agents in determining policy in this area.

Reviews

"Cole's arguments transform long standing debates about asylum to show how a global order that delivers justice for all must have displaced people at its heart. Brilliantly argued and engagingly written, this book shows us why theory matters, and how careful conceptual work helps change the world. -- ""Bridget Anderson, Migration Mobilities Bristol"" Cole's Global Displacement is a remarkable and courageous book that is likely to have an impact on normative scholarship.--Gabriele De Angelis, University of Lisbon ""Journal of Applied Philosophy, Volume 40, Issue5"""
