Let Me Be a Refugee

Administrative Justice and the Politics of Asylum in the United States, Canada, and Australia

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book compares the refugee status determination (RSD) regimes of three popular asylum seeker destinations. Despite similarly high levels of political resistance to accepting asylum seekers, because administrative justice is conceptualized and organized differently in every state, they vary in how they draw the line between refugee and non-refugee.
