This monograph is an important milestone in the study of internally displaced persons' (IDP) protection. Ní Ghráinne's book brilliantly helps us understand how the legal and institutional framework of IDP protection has developed and interacts with international refugee law, complementary protection, and the internal flight alternative. She convincingly demonstrates that the increase in IDP protection does not, as a matter of law, undermine refugee
protection. Given its extremely insightful, thorough, and documented analysis, this monograph will certainly become an indispensable point of reference for anyone following IDP policies and, more generally, international refugee law.
