Abstract
Can refugee crises pose an actual threat to state security? Can the movement of peoples fuel civil conflict and regional instability? In this article Mills and Norton argue the answer is a definite yes. After providing a brief history of the conflict in Rwanda and the larger Great Lakes region of Africa, they examine how the Rwandan refugee crisis created in the wake of the 1994 genocide created a security threat at many different levels. They then address means of responding to these threats. Among the conclusions is that, under some circumstances, a robust traditional military presence may be essential to protecting both the refugee population and regional security.
