This publication includes the six case studies commissioned for the seminar as well as an introductory essay which explores the common themes emerging from the studies on protracted displacement and local integration. We are grateful to the six researchers for their research which not only informed the seminar, but which offer insights for the broader humanitarian and development communities. Three of the researchers (Nina Sluga, Nadine Walicki, and Greta eender) are country analysts working with IDMC. The other three (Michelle Berg, Patricia Fagen, and Rhodri Williams) ll have long experience with protracted displacement and were commissioned to carry out these country studies in mid-2010.
