For feminist international law scholars, practitioners, and
advocates, the first two decades of the new millennium have
produced moments of elation and disenchantment. In the Research
Handbook on Feminist Engagement with International Law, a network
of scholars and practitioners from a diverse group of countries
contemplate the future of feminist engagement with international
law. Can international law increase its relevance, beneficence, and
impact for women in the developed and developing world? How can
international law deal with a much wider range of issues relevant
to women's lives than it currently does? What are the next
frontiers for gender and international law making, law reform, and
the beneficiaries of international law? The diverse global
contributions to this Research Handbook delineate a future where
feminist engagement with international law is robust, diverse,
inclusive, influential, and leads to positive change in women's
lives. The Research Handbook addresses larger themes of feminism
and international law that will interest international law and
gender studies scholars as well as HDR students. Additionally, this
exploration will prove to be an asset to UN and INGO networks,
regional organizations, and NGOs and social movements. Contributors

The places in which refugees seek sanctuary are often as dangerous
and bleak as the conditions they fled. In response, many travel
within and across borders in search of safety. As part of these
journeys, refugees are increasingly turning to courts to ask for
protection, not from persecution in their homeland, but from a
place of 'refuge'. This book is the first global and comparative
study of 'protection from refuge' litigation, examining whether
courts facilitate or hamper refugee journeys with a particular
focus on gender. Drawing on jurisprudence from Africa, Europe,
North America and Oceania, Kate Ogg shows that courts have
transitioned from adopting robust ideas of refuge to rudimentary
ones. This trajectory indicates that courts can play a powerful
role in creating more just and equitable refugee protection
policies, but have, ultimately, compounded the difficulties
inherent in finding sanctuary, perpetuating global inequities in
refugee responsibility and rendering refuge elusive.
