CHILDREN AND FORCED MIGRATION GEBUNDEN

This book responds to the reality that children and youth constitute a disproportionately large
percentage of displaced populations worldwide. It demonstrates how their hopes and aspirations
reflect the transient nature of their age group  and often differ from those of their elders.
It also examines how they face additional difficulties due to the inconsistent definition and
uneven implementation of the traditional 'durable solutions' to forced migration implemented by
national governments and international assistance agencies. The authors use empirical research
findings and robust policy analyses of cases of child displacement across the globe to make
their central argument: that the particular challenges and opportunities that displaced
children and youth face must be investigated and factored into relevant policy and practice 
promoting more sustainable and durable solutions in the process. This interdisciplinary edited
collection will appeal to students and scholars of forced migration studies  development 
conflict and peace-building and youth studies  along with policy-makers  children's rights
organizations and NGOs.
