There is no definitive consensus among researchers about where the boundaries of refugee and forced migration studies should be drawn, and the 52 chapters in this volume clearly demonstrate this, offering 52 different perspectives on this field of studies. However, they also vividly illustrate the vibrant and engaging debates that characterize what is a rapidly expanding field. 

Although the field of refugee and forced migration studies itself emerged in the 1980s, there is a long and important history of research into refugees and forced displacement across the Humanities and Social and Political Sciences. 

The contributors to this Handbook—leading scholars, practitioners and policymakers in this field—provide insights to the likely directions which research in refugee and forced migration studies will take in the future, and the challenges the field will need to address as it evolves over the next 30 years.
