Access to Asylum

Discover the compelling insights of Access to Asylum by Thomas Gammeltoft-Hansen, published by Cambridge University Press in 2013. This thought-provoking book spans 310 pages and delves into the pressing question: Is there still a right to seek asylum in our increasingly globalised world? Gammeltoft-Hansen critically analyzes the challenges faced by asylum-seekers, who are often intercepted by government ships, immigration officers stationed abroad, or private airlines enforcing migration control. This volume sheds light on the implications of globalisation on migration control and explores the obligations of states under international refugee law. Perfect for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in human rights and migration issues, Access to Asylum is an essential read that invites readers to reflect on the future of asylum in a changing world.
