Synopsis "What do we owe to Refugees? (Political Theory Today) "

Who are refugees? Who, if anyone, is responsible for protecting them? What forms should this protection take? In a world of people fleeing from civil wars, state failure, and environmental disasters, these are ethically and politically pressing questions. In this book, David Owen reveals how the contemporary politics of refuge is structured by two rival historical pictures of refugees. In reconstructing this history, he advocates an understanding of refugeehood that moves us beyond our current impasse by distinguishing between what is owed to refugees in general and what is owed to different types of refugee. He provides an account of refugee protection and the forms of international cooperation required to implement it that is responsive to the claims of both refugees and states. At a time when refugee protection is once again prominent on the international agenda, this book offers a guide to understanding the challenges this topic raises and shows why addressing it matters for all of us.

David Anthony Llewellyn Owen (Plymouth, 2 de julio de 1938) es un destacado político británico, médico de formación y miembro de la Cámara de los Lores, reconocido por su papel en el Partido Laborista y posteriormente por cofundar el Partido Socialdemócrata (SDP). Estudió medicina en la Universidad de Cambridge y St Thomas's Hospital, ejerciendo la neurología antes de dedicarse a la política.

Inició su carrera parlamentaria en 1966, ocupando cargos importantes bajo gobiernos laboristas, destacando como ministro de Sanidad (1974-1976) y secretario de Estado de Asuntos Exteriores y de la Commonwealth (1977-1979), siendo uno de los más jóvenes en el cargo. En 1981, descontento con el giro a la izquierda del Partido Laborista, cofundó el SDP, liderándolo entre 1983 y 1990.

En 1992 fue nombrado par vitalicio (Lord Owen) y actuó como negociador de paz de la UE en la antigua Yugoslavia (1992-1995), coautor del plan Vance-Owen. Además de su carrera política, es autor de varios libros, destacando En el poder y en la enfermedad (2008), donde analiza el impacto de las dolencias físicas y mentales en jefes de Estado. Se ha mantenido activo en política como independiente.
