Kathleen Newland's work focuses on the international and domestic response to refugee crises worldwide. She examines the growing reluctance of governments to provide asylum along conventional lines as well as the innovative measures, including "humanitarian intervention," taken to address outflows from Kosovo, Central Africa and the Former Soviet Union, among other places. She also works on the development of new national and regional migration policies. Ms. Newland co-directs the Endowment's Moscow Center. Since January 2000, she has chaired the Women's Commission for Refugee Women and Children, and serves on the Board of the International Rescue Committee.
