People on the Move: Handbook of Selected Terms and Concepts

People on the Move: Handbook of Selected Terms and Concepts
Migration has moved high on the international agenda; it is now the focus of sensitive debates and growing media attention in a variety of contexts. An extensive terminology has evolved to cover standing and emerging issues as they also relate to the larger fields of human rights and development.


Elaborated in cooperation with international experts, this handbook takes stock of the present use of some selected terms and concepts. It aims to contribute to greater precision and accuracy in language and discourse on the part of all stakeholders although it does not claim to be exhaustive or definitive. It is designed to be accessible to a general public which may not be familiar with the detailed discussions in the field of refugee and migration policy.
