Comparative Regional Protection Frameworks for Refugees
This collection focuses on regional approaches to refugee protection, and specifically upon the norms, and the norm entrepreneurs of those approaches. It considers how recent crises in refugee protection (such as the Syrian and Andaman Sea crises) have highlighted the strengths and limits of regional approaches to refugee protection and the importance of looking closely at the underlying norms, and the identities and activities of the relevant norm entrepreneurs at the regional level. It compares the norms of refugee protection that have evolved in three regions: the EU, Latin America and the South East Asian region, to identify which norms of refugee protection have been internalised in the three regional contexts and to contextualise the processes. The authors demonstrate the need for awareness of the roles of different norm entrepreneurs such as states, international organisations and civil society, in developing and promoting basic norms on refugee protection.
This book was originally published as a special issue of The International Journal of Human Rights.
