How the Admission of Refugees is Debated in Six Countries across the World

• Format: ePub

This book explores the responses to admitting refugees adopted by governments in six different countries. It shows that government policy - as well as the stance of opposition parties - is dependent on the framing of both the country's collective identity and the identity and characteristics of the refugees.
