The Price of Indifference Reviews

Helton presents a compelling discussion of the broad range of political and technical feasibilities confronting the international community. And, in the end, he provides a useful framework of recommendations to change the international community's strategies. This is a highly useful book for students and scholars interested not only in refugee issues, but in ethnic and regional conflict issues as well. * International Affairs *
Helton provides a rich and descriptive account and assessment of particular international efforts to respond to ethnic conflicts ... The strength of Helton's argument is his empirical discussion and the practical requirements necessary for responding to refugee crises. He provides extensive and insightful analyses of the specific international responses to a number of refugee crises. * International Affairs *
This book provides an analytical approach to refugee policy-making that will be invaluable to students in politics, international relations and refugee studies. * Times Higher Education Supplement *
Masterfully written and innovative, Arthur Helton's book offers a most comprehensive and insightful treatment of refugee issues. This work is a splendid combination of the author's solid academic judgement and his practical familiarity with the subject. * Sadako Ogata, Resident Scholar, Ford Foundation, Co-Chair, International Human Security Commission, and Former United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees *
This book is required reading for anybody who worries about making our world more stable and secure by addressing the plight of 35 million refugees and displaced people. Arthur Helton makes a compelling case that the world can - and must - do a better job of dealing with displaced populations. * Kenneth H. Bacon, President, Refugees International, and Former Pentagon Spokesman *
