Summary "The problem of asylum has emerged as one of the most critical issues of public debate, political concern and legal reform in recent years. This book features discussion by leading experts in the field of refugee and asylum law, presenting the problem of asylum in its various facets from international, European and comparative perspectives, particularly as it has concerned Western legal systems in the last two decades. Specifically, readers will find useful comparisons among the European, British and Australian approaches to the legal management of asylum migration."--BOOK JACKET
