Addressing the crucial issue of why people choose to make Convention refugee claims, this original book also explores the perceptions claimants have of possible host countries and investigates the view that refugees move on the basis of (generally) extreme levels of persecution.
This is the first book of its kind to address the crucial issue of why people choose to make Convention refugee claims. It represents a substantial and original contribution primarily to the field of refugee studies but also applicable for a broader readership of political science, international studies, sociology, law, history and women’s studies. Furthermore, it theorizes the problems that face refugees by discussing the perception of the possible host countries. The conclusions of the book bear directly upon contemporary issues in refugee studies that suggest refugees move on the basis of (generally) extreme levels of persecution.
