B. Møller 
Refugees, Prisoners and Camps 
A Functional Analysis of the Phenomenon of Encampment

What do refugee and concentration camps, prisons, terrorist and guerrilla training camps and prisoner of war camps have in common? Arguably they have all followed an ‘outsides inside’ model, enforcing a dichotomy between perceived ‘desirable’ and ‘undesirable’ characteristics. This separation is the subject of Møller’s multidisciplinary study.
