Book description

Europe has the most advanced regional protection regime in the world. The predicted impact of this body of norms, including the new Common European Asylum System, has been widely identified as one that will have a 'ripple effect' beyond the EU. However, very few studies have noted the fact that this regime has already influenced the law and practice of states around the world, for some time. The purpose of this book is to gather evidence that emulation is happening (if it is), to explore the extent and identify the processes through which it is happening, and to examine the implications of these findings. A review of seven case studies reveals all but one of these cases provides clear evidence of emulation at some point in time. The EU protection regime, which has been most influenced by the European Court of Human Rights, is 'naturally' evolving transnationally and spreading internationally.

Reviews

'… this volume represents an excellent contribution to the academic literature and would be a welcome addition to any bookshelf. It is hoped that the research undertaken here will act as a spur for further exploration of this ever-changing and developing area.'

Sarah Singer Source: International and Comparative Law Quarterly

'… the book is exceptionally well written and structured, and methodologically sound. It provides a wealth of comparative knowledge of the asylum systems worldwide. It is also very valuable in terms of elucidating the evolutionary trajectories of these systems and tracing the impulses that shaped them.'
