War and Asylum

Co-edited by James C. Simeon

James Simeon, professor in the School of Public Policy & Administration, wrote and co-edited articles for the journal Frontiers as part of the research topic, “War and Asylum.” His articles include Editorial: War and asylum (with Simeon co-editing with Professor Sorpong Peou from Toronto Metropolitan University) and The use and abuse of forced migration and displacement as a weapon of war (with Simeon as the sole author.) Simeon's research looks at the ongoing refugee crisis, including how civilians can be weaponized during wars, and how this is connected to other issues such as human trafficking, smuggling, forced migration, and drugs and arms dealing, which must be resolved in order to achieve sustainable world peace. He examines conflicts in Bosnia, Rwanda and Syria as examples.
