About this book
Drawing on new research material from ten European countries, Asylum Determination in Europe: Ethnographic Perspectives brings together a range of detailed accounts of the legal and bureaucratic processes by which asylum claims are decided. The book includes a legal overview of European asylum determination procedures, followed by sections on the diverse actors involved, the means by which they communicate, and the ways in which they make life and death decisions on a daily basis. It offers a contextually rich account that moves beyond doctrinal law to uncover the gaps and variances between formal policy and legislation, and law as actually practiced.

Reviews
“The moral panic evoked by cross-border movement is inevitably accompanied by a lack of knowledge about what ‘determining asylum’ actually entails. This book fills the gap. It covers a wide range of European settings and looks at the nuts and bolts of that process from a variety of disciplinary standpoints, revealing its contradictions with fine-grained ethnographic nuance.” (Deborah James, London School of Economics, UK)
