Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The places in which refugees seek sanctuary are often as dangerous and bleak as the conditions they fled. In response, many travel within and across borders in search of safety. As part of these journeys, refugees are increasingly turning to courts to ask for protection, not from persecution in their homeland, but from a place of 'refuge'. This book is the first global and comparative study of 'protection from refuge' litigation, examining whether courts facilitate or hamper refugee journeys with a particular focus on gender. Drawing on jurisprudence from Africa, Europe, North America and Oceania, Kate Ogg shows that courts have transitioned from adopting robust ideas of refuge to rudimentary ones. This trajectory indicates that courts can play a powerful role in creating more just and equitable refugee protection policies, but have, ultimately, compounded the difficulties inherent in finding sanctuary, perpetuating global inequities in refugee responsibility and rendering refuge elusive. This is the first global and comparative study of litigation in which refugees seek protection from a place of ostensible 'refuge'. The book analyses jurisprudence from Africa, Europe, North America and Oceania from multi-disciplinary perspectives. Drawing on feminist theory, the book examines the role gender plays in these contentious judgments. This item is printed on demand.
