Summary:
"As a leading country in global refugee resettlement,
Canada
operates a unique
program
that allows
private
groups and individuals to sponsor
refugees
. This innovative approach has received growing international attention, but there remains a need for a more expansive understanding of the
sponsorship
framework and its potential implications within
Canada
and across the world. Strangers to Neighbours explains the origins and development of refugee
sponsorship
, paying particular attention to the unintended consequences and ethical dilemmas it produces for refugee policy. The contributors to this collection draw upon law, social science, and philosophy to bring a more robust and objective perspective of
Canada
's historical experience with
sponsorship
into wider conversations about the refugee crisis and resettlement. Together, they present recent cases that exemplify how the model has been applied and how it functions, while also analyzing the challenges that emerge in host-sponsor relations. This volume further examines how
sponsorship
has been implemented differently in countries such as the United States and Australia. The first dedicated study of refugee
sponsorship
policy, Strangers to Neighbours assembles leading scholars from a range of disciplines to consider whether
Canada
's system is indeed a sustainable model for the world."--Publisher.
