Description
What happens when international human rights norms confront the practical realities of asylum decision-making? This book offers a bold examination of how institutional dynamics and human rights oversight shape the intricate mechanisms behind asylum adjudication. By framing asylum law as an `entangled regime', the author uncovers how national decision-makers interpret, apply, and contest norms of national, international, and institutional origin, offering invaluable insights into the evolving landscape of migrants' rights. Through this socio-legal lens, it focuses on the Nordic countries - a region with a long history of compliance but increasingly marked by anti-immigrant politics and policy experimentation. As political pressures bear down against decades of rights-focused legal consolidation, a critical testing ground emerges where international law faces some of its most rigorous challenges.
