| Title | Stranded Amidst Resettlement Applications: A Case Study of Pakistani Refugees in China |
| Summary | Among one of the two regions in the world where “urban (refugee) caseloads are currently of major concern” (UNHCR's Policy and Practice Regarding Urban Refugees 1995), the People’s Republic of China is an ever more influential actor in the Asian region and beyond, and has become an important interlocutor for the United Nations and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in the area, notably on refugee-related issues. This thesis, based on the findings of direct observation and in-dept interviews with Pakistani refugees awaiting resettlement and the UNHCR will examine the process of integration at the initial phase by observing urban Pakistani refugees in Langfang and at a more advanced stage by observing refugees from Pakistan in Yanjiao which altogether form the largest urban refugee group residing on the outskirts of Beijing, one of the most booming and fast developing cities in the world. |
