| Summary |
"This book explores the prospects for such an order in the context of refugee law in Europe, focussing on the use of foreign law in refugee cases. Judiciai practice is critically analysed in nine EU member states, with case studies revealing a mix of rational and cultural factors that lead judges rarely to use each others' decisions within the EU. Conclusions are drawn for the prospects of a Common European Asylum System and for international refugee law."--Jacket |
