    Summary

    The nation-state model, while ideal for legitimacy, often causes forced migration due to internal divisions or resource scarcity. This study explores refugee production theories linked to nation-state dynamics.

    • Nation-states can face internal pressures leading to instability and conflict.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To elaborate a theory of refugee production based on nation-state dynamics.
    • To analyze policy formation in the context of nation-state-induced migration.
    • To examine international refugee policy post-Cold War.

    Main Methods:

    Main Results:

    • Identifies three primary reasons for forced migration within nation-states: multi-national composition, internal socio-economic disagreements, and resource-driven state implosion.
    • Develops a theoretical framework linking nation-state characteristics to refugee flows.

    Conclusions:

    • The nation-state model inherently contains mechanisms that can lead to forced migration.
    • International refugee policy must account for the internal dynamics of nation-states.
    • Post-Cold War political changes necessitate a re-evaluation of refugee policies through this theoretical lens.
