Reviews / Votes
"To understand the complicated and dynamic developments within this policy area, the presented volume is a must-read for all those who want to understand the history, tensions and potential for future changes within the CEAS."- Lukasz Dziedzic, Tilburg University
"...[T]he editors of the volume have managed to assemble a great variety of topics and authors in order to deal with the most pressing issues in a balanced and compelling way...they provide well-researched insights that contribute to an informed debate and are a valuable resource for academics and practitioners, also encouraging further research."
- European Yearbook of Human Rights, Volume 17
"Although this book is not the first to discuss the CEAS, the continuing flow of asylum seekers to Europe, and the inability, at times, to protect their rights, clearly show that there is a need for more dialogue between all the relevant stakeholders. That dialogue will be enriched by the critiques presented [in the book] of the shortcomings of the framework - particularly the evidence-based ones - which must be taken on board and applied."
- Julia Muraszkiewicz Research Analyst, Trilateral Research Ltd, in: International Journal of Refugee Law
