This book looks at how it is deployed and who its agents are. By taking the reader through the offices in charge of the Afghan refugee crisis during the 2000s, in Geneva and in Kabul, the book shows the internal functioning of this international organization. It provides analysis of Afghan refugee policies from an original position, with the author being both agency official and anthropologist, and articulates multiple levels of analysis: the micropolitics of practices as much as the institution and the multi-scalar power relations that shape its environment.Humanitarianism and Security SeriesRefugeesRefugees.362.8709581Scalettaris Giuliaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1275491DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910847144903321The UNHCR and the Afghan Crisis4128489UNINA
