Drawing on policy insight and scholarly analysis, the book highlights the political dimensions of contemporary refugee protection, underscoring the limitations of the existing global refugee regime. The edited collection underscores a critical reality: the global refugee regime cannot succeed without sustained political leadership and coordinated global action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gathering prominent voices in the field, the volume explores Canada\u2019s engagement across regional and global contexts and its contributions to international resettlement efforts. Through insights on diplomacy, regional engagement, and refugee resettlement, it showcases how Canada continues to help shape practical, rights-based solutions to one of the world\u2019s most pressing challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The book offers a timely and critical perspective on how states can shape and sustain effective collective responses to one of the defining challenges of our time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We welcome you to be part of this important conversation by joining our distinguished panelists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center
