{"product_id":"refugees-are-not-welcome-here-3","title":"Refugees Are (Not) Welcome Here","description":"\u003cp\u003eState-controlled refugee protection in Canada has gone through paradoxical developments in recent decades. While refugee rights have expanded, access to these rights has tightened. Previously unrecognized groups – such as women experiencing gender-based violence and LGBT populations – are now considered legitimate refugees. Yet, the implementation of stringent administrative measures has made it harder for refugees to secure protection. \u003cem\u003eRefugees Are (Not) Welcome Here\u003c\/em\u003e draws on archival and media sources, interviews, and organizational data to examine how refugee claims are administered within a complex and contradictory regime that maintains significant legal and bureaucratic silos. Azar Masoumi explains why state-controlled refugee protection persists despite its many failures, not only in Canada but globally. This rigorous study deftly argues that the paradoxical interplay between refugee law and claim-processing bureaucracies is symptomatic of a larger illogic: reliance on the exclusivist mechanisms of the nation-state to ensure the universal application of rights. Ultimately, this book illuminates just how this paradox has turned refugee protection into an unfulfilled promise.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Azar Masoumi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43575245570230,"sku":"9780774868723","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780774868723.jpg?v=1727878765","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/refugees-are-not-welcome-here-3","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
