The author argues that the resettlement system has been largely affected by neoliberalism, privatization, and a decreased role of the state in ensuring the public welfare.&nbsp;The author shows how these trends have led to a decrease in direct assistance and oversight&nbsp;from the federal government and an increase in&nbsp;responsibility on the part of non-governmental organizations. The author also&nbsp;claims&nbsp;resettlement systems are more&nbsp;accountable to their funders than the refugees they are designed to serve. These power dynamics create what the author&nbsp;calls the&nbsp;&#8216;Refugee Industrial Complex&#8217;, which&nbsp;establishes the norms, values and practices of resettlement.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.clarku.edu\/idce_masters_papers\/48\">https:\/\/commons.clarku.edu\/idce_masters_papers\/48<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>Neoliberalism, Resettlement<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cataloged by:<\/strong> Patrick Barnosky\/ B.
