»An expertly researched, in-depth, and compelling addition to the scholarly literature on the organised, state-led, and forced (dis)placement of refugees. It will not only be a valuable reference for academics and students but also offer important lessons for aid practitioners, interested in a comprehensive overview of the important effects, challenges, and contexts that characterize this rapidly expanding field of research and practice.« Gabriel/le du Plessis, Ethnic and Racial Studies, 17.10.2023 »A thought-provoking volume that helps us understand the complexities of an institution that has returned, inforce, to our contemporary world.« Aidan Forth, Francia recensio, 3 (2023)
