Description:	This book emanated from the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP) seminar organized by its Scientific Panel on the Demography of Refugee and Forced Migration in May 2012 at the University of Tehran. Participants held expertise in the fields of demography and refugee and forced migration studies. The book includes 15 chapters. After an introductory chapter on advancing the demography of forced migration and refugees, the chapters have been organized into four main parts. Part I is devoted to the conceptualization and data sources of forced migration. Part II presents demographic perspectives by focusing on the relationship between mortality, fertility, family change, and forced migration. It also examines forced migration through the lens of gender. Patterns and dimensions of forced migration are discussed in Part III. Changing patterns of internal displacement, environmentally related international displacement, and the nexus between forced and irregular migration have been examined from a demographic perspective. In Part IV, the linkages between migration and security and the issue of return to home and the reintegration process have been discussed. International, regional, and national legal norms, policies, organizational roles and relations, and good practices related to refugee and forced migration have been presented. Future directions in demographic research on forced migration are offered in the epilogue, within the unfolding context of multilateral efforts to promote international cooperation and shared responsibilities for displaced persons in this century. In engaging demographic analysis within a range of issues germane to population displacement, our hope is that the book is valuable for demographers and social scientists (sociologists, anthropologists, and economists) to understand the relevance of their analytic perspectives and tools for forced and refugee migration studies. We also hope that the collection is relevant to those who are interested in forced and refugee migration at national, regional, and international levels of analysis and a useful reference for students developing skills in developing research designs and data collection initiatives on forced and refugee migrations and displaced persons, families, and populations. Finally, and critically important, we hope that the papers, and the collection as a whole, will benefit the process of policy and program analysis regarding displaced populations and refugees. A positive outcome would be the request, invitation, and even demand by policy makers for the inclusion of demographic analysis in the development of evidence-based policies and programs concerning efforts to support and protect persons displaced, in flight, and resettled.
