Putting refugees in camps

Year: 1998

Type: article

Abstract: The articles presented in this issue of Forced Migration Review are useful in reminding us of what some academics and policy makers have been arguing for a long time - that 'camps' represent a poor solution for refugees. Emerging research has demonstrated how, for social, economic, environmental and health reasons, the consequences of placing refugees in camps are often negative, not only for refugees themselves but also frequently for the national populations and governments of receiving states.
