Improving Attention to Internal Displacement Globally (Refugee Survey Quarterly, Vol. 39, Issue 4; Dec 2020)

Bringing together over 20 original peer-reviewed articles by researchers, practitioners and policy-makers, this special issue of the Refugee Survey Quarterly (Volume 39, Issue 4, published in December 2020) aims to “Improving Attention to Internal Displacement Globally”. The journal aims to build a bridge between the research, policy and practitioner communities by contributing high-quality original research on policy and practice linked to the topics of refugee and forced displacement.

This issue specifically seeks to renew the debate on policy challenges and solutions for the protracted crisis of internal displacement that affects tens of millions of people worldwide. In addition the the journal’s editorial board, two Secretariat members of the UN Secretary-General’s High-Level Panel on Internal Displacement (HLP) also served as guest editors.
