title: Refugee resettlement:  models in action.
abstract: "A model of refugee resettlement containing two axes is proposed:  volume of refugee intake and emphasis on economic or cultural adaptation."  The refugee resettlement practices of Canada, France, and the United States are then described.  The author notes that France and Canada favor a moderate intake of refugees with emphasis on economic adaptation, although the emphasis in Quebec is on cultural adaptation.  In contrast, the United States accepts a large volume of refugees, with a similar emphasis on economic adaptation.
