Series: Routledge Studies in Human Rights

This book presents an original framework of transnational asylum to inform future cooperation between states on asylum processing and refugee protection.

The book provides scholarly guidance on how policies can be undertaken in a way that conforms with the rights of asylum seekers and refugees under international law, asking if transnational asylum offers a workable model for lawful international cooperation and responsibility-sharing. It engages with the practical and legal modalities needed to ensure respect for binding obligations in the context of the current trend of rejection of territorial asylum among some states. The book puts forward a blueprint for how existing policies of deterrence and externalisation can be retooled to share, rather than shift, responsibility for refugees.

This book will be of key interest to scholars, students, policymakers and practitioners interested and working in Human Rights, International Refugee Law and Refugee Studies.

Reviews for Transnational Asylum: Toward a Principled Framework

“This groundbreaking book introduces a fresh perspective on asylum cooperation between states. Nikolas Feith Tan develops an innovative framework of transnational asylum that carefully balances the control interests of states and obligations under human rights and refugee law. By addressing short comings of existing approaches and emphasising genuine cooperation, the work paves the way for a more equitable and effective refugee protection regime. Meticulously researched and beautifully written, this book is a must read for scholars, policy makers, asylum advocates and practitioners.” Daniel Ghezelbash, University of New South Wales, Australia
