Rediscovering Resettlement
A Transatlantic Comparison of Refugee Protection
By Gregor Noll and Joanne van Selm
MPI Insight No. 3, December 2003
Could increasing the numbers of refugees who have access to resettlement help resolve some of the refugee protection challenges faced by the European Union and the United States?
The publication provides insight into differences in transcontinental
definitions, selection criteria, and the roles that government agencies and
nongovernmental organizations play in screening and integration. It also
investigates important tensions in refugee resettlement including:
the use and possible abuse of the welfare state versus a lack of economic support in the resettlement process; historical national identities in light of current needs for security; and humanitarian goals of protecting the most vulnerable balanced with the utilitarianism of accepting those for whom successful integration seems most likely. |
