New Regionalism and Asylum Seekers: Challenges Ahead

Front Cover
Susan Kneebone, Felicity Rawlings-Sanaei
Berghahn Books, 2007 - Political Science - 243 pages

Taking the context of forced migration, this book addresses the role that regional, in contrast to national or global, institutions and relationships play in shaping asylum policies and procedures. It examines the causes of forced migration movements; the direction of forced migration flows and its effect upon the immediate region; policy responses towards forced migration (in particular ASEAN and the European Community); cooperative arrangements and agreements between regional states; and the protection of human rights. The book also considers the role that regional responses are likely to play in determining the direction of asylum policy in receiving states and procedures in the future.
