How do we define the terms ‘migrant’ and ‘refugee’? What is naturalization? What do remittances or non-refoulement mean? And what are the rules and institutions behind the many terms and notions associated with migration and asylum?
Join us for the launch of the Elgar Concise Encyclopedia of Migration and Asylum Law. This reference publication provides a comprehensive overview of the rapidly developing field of migration and asylum law. It brings clarity to key terms and critical notions, while challenging misconceptions in this highly politicized sphere.
