Abstract Details

2013, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, Political Science (Arts and Sciences).
Along with the end of the Cold War, many developed western nations became reluctant to accept refugees because of the absence of the political value of refugees. However, the number of refugees, especially refugees from the Third World, has been continuously growing. Consequently, a serious division between developing and developed nations concerning refugee protection emerged. That is to say, while the South (developing nations) accepts many refugees despite its poverty, the North (developed nations) accepts fewer refugees compared to the South. In my thesis, I argue how the North-South division can be mitigated suggesting the important roles of UNHCR, social activists, NGOs, the dynamics of social movements, and empathy.
