"In The Arc of Protection, Alexander Aleinikoff and Leah Zamore take on the refugee crisis, providing recommendations to improve prevention, protection, and solutions. A must read for anyone who is concerned for the safety and future of the almost 70 million people who are displaced worldwide."-Susan F. Martin, Georgetown University "In this highly original book, Alexander Aleinikoff and Leah Zamore offer a fundamental rethinking of the grounds and requirements of international protection for the forcibly displaced. Informed by acute analysis of the historical development of, and contemporary challenges to, the refugee regime, they have written a necessary book; one that demonstrates the centrality of rights, agency and mobility for a 21st century regime of protection."-David Owen, University of Southampton "In this age of impunity, where conflicts last longer and perpetrators run rampant, there is no end in sight to today's displacement crisis. The system set up to support those fleeing conflict is falling behind and new approaches are required. Alex Aleinikoff and Leah Zamore show what needs to be done, and how to do it. This is a great introduction for anyone concerned with the refugee crisis today."-David Miliband, President & CEO of the International Rescue Committee and former British Foreign Secretary "This short book takes a sobering look at today's global refugee crisis and presents an ambitious agenda for action."-G. John Ikenberry, Foreign Affairs "Aleinikoff and Zamore present a concise overview of the international response to forced displacement....their key ideas for the future are thoughtful and explained well. Recommended."-D. P. Forsythe, CHOICE "[An] essential read for scholars, advocates, and students of refugee protection at all levels of knowledge."-Anna R. Oltman, H-Diplo
