With a presence in over 130 countries, the UNHCR takes care of approximately 90 million people. This book aims to examine the deployment and agents of the UNHCR, providing insights into its internal functioning and the policies it implements. Through a series of case studies, the book explores the Afghan refugee crisis during the 2000s, focusing on the offices in Geneva and Kabul that were responsible for managing the situation. The author, who is both an agency official and an anthropologist, offers an original perspective on Afghan refugee policies, analyzing them from multiple levels of analysis, including the micropolitics of practices, the institution itself, and the multi-scalar power relations that shape its environment. The book provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by the UNHCR in its efforts to provide humanitarian assistance and protection to refugees and other displaced individuals, and highlights the importance of international cooperation and collaboration in addressing these complex issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 614g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 159 x 237 x 25 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781805391685\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giulia Scalettaris","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":47425426981114,"sku":"9781805391685","price":107.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1750445849020_book_06947b68-b634-4552-aaa8-0c87158268cc.jpg?v=1750521923","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-unhcr-and-the-afghan-crisis-the-making-of-the-international-refugee-regime-9781805391685","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
