Since 2015, research on flight and refugees has experienced a boom in the German-speaking regions. This handbook opens up the field in its breadth and at the same time critically reflects on the state of research. Part I of the volume discusses the historical development of the research field, its (trans-)disciplinary approaches, as well as questions of research ethics on a theoretical level. Part II offers a discussion of important core terms and concepts of the research field. Part III is empirically oriented and deals with flight and refugees in relation to actors and political patterns of action. Finally, Part IV looks at refugee movements and policies in the world's regions. The handbook is aimed at researchers and teachers, as well as students and interested practitioners.
