Multiple refugee regimes govern the lives of forced migrants simultaneously but in an often
conflicting way. As a mechanism of inclusion exclusion they tend to engender the violence they
sought to dissipate. Protection and control channel agency through mechanisms of either
tutelage and victimisation or criminalisation. This book contrasts multiple groups of refugees
and refugee regimes revealing the inherent coercive violence of refugee regimes from
displacement and expulsion to stereotypification and exclusion in host countries and academic
knowledge essentialisation. This violence is international national society-based
internalised and embodied - and it urgently needs due scholarly attention.
