This is apparently the successor to UNHCR's earlier series, The State of the World’s Refugees, which included six editions published between 1993 and 2012 (the complete texts for the first five can be accessed here). As such, the forthcoming volume originally carried a working title of The State of the World's Forcibly Displaced (SOWFD), according to this FM List posting and confirmed by the Google cache for OUP's description of the book.
While a table of contents is not yet available, more information about the scope of the book can be gleaned from the companion page provided by UNHCR. Visitors will find 29 background papers "which canvass a number of wide-ranging contemporary issues such as drivers of displacement; socioeconomic inclusion for forcibly displaced persons; improving data and evidence; unlocking more solutions; and engaging more broadly. They represent the perspectives of a broad array of partners in forced displacement responses and have helped inform the research for People Forced to Flee: History, Change and Challenge."
