The repatriation of Palestinians is a highly topical issue, and a critical component of any future peace process for Israel / Palestine. Until now, the mechanics of repatriation has not been dealt with before in this detail. This book explores the notion that the Palestinian refugee case is exceptional. It does this through the comparative study of refugee repatriation, and by asking the following questions: * To what extent can the Palestinian case said to be unique? * Where are the divergences, the overlaps and points of similarity with other refugee situations? * What lessons...
