The broad geographical scope of this book, its thought-provoking insights on different legal contexts, the noteworthy capacity of the editors to trace the common thread that ties all these different policies and practices of migration control together, makes this volume of high relevance and interest for lawyers, students, scholars and policy-makers in different regions of the world and versed in different legal traditions. -- Dr Mariagiulia Giuffre, Edge Hill University * Journal of Immigration, Asylum & Nationality Law * The lasting impression left by the collection is that it is a very powerful documentation of the diverse types of obstacles facing asylum seekers trying to access asylum procedures around the world. -- Hugo Storey * International Journal of Refugee Law * The breadth of legal frameworks and state practices covered in the volume gives it a broad appeal... Although it is valuable as a harmonious yet diverse collection of interventions, the chapters are strong enough to be free-standing... It is an engaging volume that will be of use to a wide audience interested in access to asylum justice. -- Katharine T Weatherhead * International Community Law Review * [T]his volume will be of great interest to researchers of asylum law and policy, students, policy makers, advocates, and NGOs... the pertinent observations and trends identi?ed in this volume remain highly relevant in the current climate, and the future of 'access to asylum justice', as called for by the editors and contributors to this volume, remains an ever-important area of research and study. -- Sarah Singer, Refugee Law Initiative * Migration Studies *
