Global refugee policy has emerged as a new focus of research in recent years. Below are some examples of research that examines the topic in general terms, followed by links to pages for research on specific examples of global refugee policy.

This site remains a work in progress, so we are happy to receive suggestions for other research that can be posted on these pages.
