This examination of asylum presents a global, European, and comparative perspectives. It focuses on how asylum issues and the various legal regimes for controlling them have impacted Western Legal systems.' - ASIL, Issue 34, February 2006 'This useful addition to the literature provides the insight that one might expect of governing instituations, and some cannon fodder, for those who would include this category of human rights problems in their courses and discourses about the integration of theory and practice.' - ASIL, Issue 34, February 2006 'This work is composed of analyses by leading experts in the field of refugee and asylum law.
