Critics Review
Professors Singer and McConnachie have brought together a group of experts to address leading cases on international refugee protection that shape practice globally. These clear pieces of analysis are woven together expertly by the editors so that readers are presented with a holistic understanding of refugee protection and how that has developed over time across the world. * Professor GS Gilbert, University of Essex, UK *
This collection is a major addition to scholarship on international refugee protection, bringing together scholars’ deep and wide analyses of a well-considered selection of diverse landmark cases. It succeeds as more than the sum of its considerable parts, offering overarching critical insights into the role of judicial and quasi-judicial bodies at a time of increasing pressure on the fundamentals of refugee law. It should be included in all refugee law reading lists and read by all researchers in the field. * Professor Cathryn Costello, University College Dublin, Ireland *
