Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
The State of the World's Refugees: Human Displacement in the New Millennium (2006) provides an overview of key recent developments related to internal and cross-border displacement of people throughout the world. Produced by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the book focuses on issues occurring since the last edition of the series in 2000.
Recent years have seen a decline in the number of refugees, partly due to large-scale returns to Afghanistan and Angola, among others. Nonetheless, the majority of refugee situations remain protracted with no prospects for durable solutions in sight, such as the Bhutanese in Nepal, the Western Saharans in Algeria and the Somalis in various host countries. While the number of refugees has declined, the number of people displaced within the borders of their own country has dramatically risen, for
example as is the case in Colombia and Sudan. At the same time, the provision of international protection to refugees has been undermined by responses to the ever more complex nexus between asylum and migration.
The book critically examines the changing dynamics of forced displacement and the challenges faced by affected states and the international community. More specifically, it analyses key developments in asylum policy and practice; it searches for practical solutions to protracted refugee situations; it re-examines the debates around durable solutions; and it assesses responses to internal displacement.
As well as analysing policy issues related to refugees, returnees, asylum seekers, internally displaced persons and stateless populations, the book provides a wealth of statistical tables, graphs and maps.
Review from previous edition The book has an encyclopaedic scope, and it will be an important reference work for researchers and others interested in the evolution of modern refugee policy. Moreover, "The State of the World's Refugees 2000" is a relatively easy read, no small feat given the fact that there are 100 listed contributors, many of whom were from outside of the agency... takes an indispensable first step toward helping the writing and thinking to catch up to the
new realities of refugee policy.
