Reluctant Reception: Refugees, Migration and Governance in the Middle East and North Africa

As the global population of displaced people continues to expand in the Global South, nations in the Middle East and North Africa find themselves host to significant numbers of forced migrants. In her new book, Dr. Kelsey P. Norman conducts a comparative analysis of asylee law and policy options for MENA nations, focusing on Morocco, Egypt and Turkey, arguing their limited support for migrant populations is a policy of “strategic indifference,” allowing nations to maximize international support of migrating populations and minimize local investment.
