While these states grapple with constrained state capacities, limited economic resources, and marginal influence in international politics, scholarly and political debates remain overwhelmingly fixated on the Global North, rendering the experiences and governance innovations of the South markedly understudied. This book addresses this longstanding empirical gap by offering an innovative theoretical and methodological framework for analysing how Global South states respond to mass refugee movements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Theoretically, the book draws on complex systems theory to develop a heuristic model that traces how specific inputs (international law, humanitarian assistance, and the role of international organizations) interact with weak or uneven institutional infrastructures of Global South states to produce distinct governance outputs. These outputs include how refugee entry and stay are regulated, how livelihoods are structured, and how durable solutions are envisioned and pursued. This framework is both innovative and generalisable, offering scholars and policymakers valuable tools for analysing refugee governance in other Global South contexts experiencing large-scale displacement, often from neighbouring countries.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To learn more about the book visit <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/lerrn\/2025\/event-report-the-politics-of-refugee-policy-in-the-global-south\/\">Book Launch: The Politics of Refugee Policy in the Global South Webinar Event Report &#8211; LERRN: The Local Engagement Refugee Research Network<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each year, the Levine Prize is awarded under the auspices of the Research Committee on the Structure and Organization of Government (RC 27) of the International Political Science Association.\u00a0\u00a0 The prize honors the legacy of Charles H.
