- This 120,000-word volume arose out of an AHRC-supported research project and follow-on impact project, both of which Baron co-directed. As sole editor, Baron defined the volume’s thematic focus and scope and its methodological and conceptual framework. This included developing its research aims to: (a) examine histories of child displacement in the region as lived experience and as state practice, drawing on first-person testimonies as well as conventional archival documentation; and (b) use this multi-perspectival analysis of coerced mobility and resettlement to propose new insights into the evolution and inter-relations of societies, states and international governance in the region. The volume includes three of Baron's own chapters. His 16,500-word Introduction elaborates the framework that shaped the volume’s content and presents new historical analysis grounded in his own primary research. Baron's co-authored 15,000-word chapter draws substantially on his own primary research, alongside his colleague’s interviews and archival work. Its conceptual framework, historiographical and theoretical arguments and almost all analysis of primary materials are his own. Baron wrote approximately two-thirds of the text from scratch and comprehensively rewrote the remainder on the basis of draft text and source transcripts provided by his colleague. His 6,000-words conclusion synthesises the volume’s key themes and conclusions. Altogether, his contributions to these chapters amount to just under a third of the volume. Additionally, he made substantial contributions to three further chapters, entailing not only extensive rewriting and restructuring, but also incorporating his own original historiographical, historical and conceptual analysis (Purs, White, Green) and his own original primary research (White, Green). He contributed around a quarter of the word-count to White’s chapter: he is acknowledged in the first footnote for his 'editorial input as well as provision of supplementary source material and analysis'. Green acknowledges his ‘contribution to developing the evidence base, analysis and argument of this chapter.
