Abstract:

Refugee studies was established as a formal field of study in the early 1980s.  However, its roots lie in the academic inquiry that occurred during the period 1920 to 1980.  The authors review this earlier literature and organize their discussion around four key concerns of scholars during this period: Which refugees should be studied?  Who is a refugee?  What causes refugee movements?  What are the best solutions to refugee problems?  Approximately 150 references are included.
