Refugee law is going through momentous times, as dictatorships
tumble, revolutions simmer and the 'Arab Awakening' gives way to
the spread of terror from Syria to the Sahel in Africa. This
compilation of topical chapters, by some of the leading scholars in
the field, covers major themes of rights, security, the UNHCR,
international humanitarianism and state interests and sets out to
map new contours.The concerns over our security are replacing
humanitarian concerns over the plight of others. Securitization,
exclusion and the internal relocation of genuine refugees are now
the favored polices. Yet, while central idioms of protection,
persecution and non-refoulement have changed, there are also new
demands on refugee law. The contributors to this book ask whether
there are new spheres of protection emerging, for which refugee law
must find a clear space, such as the protection of child refugees,
trafficked persons, gender-related asylum and conscientious
objectors to military service. This timely and valuable book shows
that in these uncertain times, refugee law still has an exciting
and challenging future ahead. Contemporary Issues in Refugee Law
will appeal to academics, researchers, students and practitioners.
