The findings of the research project ‘Protracted Displacement Economies’ by Dr. Shahida Aman, Dr. Abdul Rauf, and Dr. Ayub Jan are now published in a book titled ‘Refugees in a world without aid’. Building upon research from the Protracted Displacement Economies project led by the University of Sussex, UK, this book emphasizes the necessity of adopting a multifaceted approach to refugee and displacement economies. Following chapters on the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Lebanon, Myanmar, and Pakistan, the book delineates a series of characteristics that constitute a novel political economy of displacement.
