However, the nature of cross-border displacement has transformed dramatically since then. Such threats as environmental change, food insecurity, and generalized violence force massive numbers of people to flee states that are unable or unwilling to ensure their basic rights, as do conditions in failed and fragile states that make possible human rights deprivations. Because these reasons do not meet the legal understanding of persecution, the victims of these circumstances are not usually recognized as "refugees," preventing current institutions from ensuring their protection. In this book, Alexander Betts develops the concept of "survival migration" to highlight the crisis in which these people find themselves.Examining flight from three of the most fragile states in Africa-Zimbabwe, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Somalia-Betts explains variation in institutional responses across the neighboring host states. There is massive inconsistency. Some survival migrants are offered asylum as refugees; others are rounded up, detained, and deported, often in brutal conditions. The inadequacies of the current refugee regime are a disaster for human rights and gravely threaten international security. In Survival Migration, Betts outlines these failings, illustrates the enormous human suffering that results, and argues strongly for an expansion of protected categories. 606 $aRefugees$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan$vCase studies 606 $aPolitical refugees$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan$vCase studies 606 $aForced migration$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan$vCase studies 606 $aHuman rights$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan$vCase studies 607 $aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xEmigration and immigration$xPolitical aspects$vCase studies 607 $aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xPolitics and government$y21st century 615 0$aRefugees 615 0$aPolitical refugees 615 0$aForced migration 615 0$aHuman rights 676 $a362.870967 700 $aBetts$b Alexander$f1980-$0617033 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255447403321 996 $aSurvival migration$92132024 997 $aUNINA
