Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a conceptual idea of definition of system archetype in the field of National protection refugee policies based on the system thinking. The basic idea is to point at the analytical potential of the System Dynamics (SD) concept in determination of National refugee protection policies by using the simulation approach. We will use the SD simulation approach, which can provide an insight into dynamic processes of changes in the system and interaction of elements that define the activities pertaining to determination of refugee policies. The SD model is represented as a Causal Loop Diagram (CLD) showing the cause-consequence relations between system elements. Through computer simulation, the model developed using the CLD enables analysis of various scenarios as a basis for evaluation and decision making support in the field of National refugee protection policies.
