Especially because it is about our current history and its anomalies. We all witnessed the beginning of the migrant/refugee crisis and the total incapacity of an Ununited Europe(more interested in protecting different national interests,than to stay united in front of an imminent danger) to even react to it exposing the flaws within the so called EU or Schengen area, their lack of political acumen and pure ignorance when confronted with a major upheaval following the Arab Spring. It presents a global view of the pattern of mass population movements throughout Africa and Middle East, the causes and its consequences, the European reaction under panic, missing a thorough understanding of it all, desperately needed when looking for a strategy. People smuggling became a unbeatable industry while Europe failed to act or even see the direct connection between this industry and the migrant followed by the refugee crisis. There is a lot of interesting information about the UNHCR, its creation and adjustments since its creation, during the Cold War, up to now. Every MEP should have a copy of this book when trying to manage the very long term consequences of not reacting.We live in a very complicated world, confronted with huge challenges, some of them - a direct consequence of the involvement or lack of it in very difficult conflicts, where there is very little room for hesitation. In my opinion hesitation is caused many times by the corruption and/or ignorance of many states chasing their own personal agendas regardless of the price.But starting from here and then ending up working together at a global level, in order to create the Special Economic Zones with the help of EU, World Bank is a historic change born from a genuine desire to help the refugees and the host countries near the conflict zones .There is a very moving story about a refugee camp in Uganda, the most successful one in Africa due to one reason: the refugees were given economic freedom which changed them from victims to consumers, producers,employees, employers, entrepreneurs, lenders, borrowers etc. They created a refugee market attracting customers from all over Uganda, offering them even goods imported from China/India or the chance for children to play digital games like FIFA World soccer game. The image of this vibrant market in total opposition with any other image of any other refugee camp, to me, is the highlight of this book and its most important lesson. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars If you haven't read this you are not entitled to an opinion *by O***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 January 2019* Sensible, down-to-earth realistic evaluation of this most difficult problem, with the only practical and sustainable solution. Unfortunately none of our politicians seem to have read it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Challenging but ultimately rewarding *by Z***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 May 2017* Unashamedly a scholarly rather than 'populist' analysis of the refugee crisis that has stricken Europe over the past couple of years. Needless to say the complexities from both the geo-political to the human level are mind-boggling but the author does a good job unraveling the varied and complexly interwoven strands of the topic and presenting them in a clear, understandable way. It is a hard-hitting, at times frustrating but always informative read as your own political position whether left or right will at times be challenged, which to my mind is all to the good. Essentially a good read for all, from the eurocrat to the man in the street. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/62310314-refuge-transforming-a-broken-refugee-system-hardcover-30-mar-2017](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/62310314-refuge-transforming-a-broken-refugee-system-hardcover-30-mar-2017) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
