    Author : Gregor Noll; Juridiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; extraterritorial protection; international law; human rights; European Union; burden-sharing; demos; legal theory; interpretation; international private and public law; discrimination; refugee law; asylum; internationell rätt; European law; EU-rätt; EU law; public international law; folkrätt; internationell privaträtt; private international law;

    Abstract : How are access to asylum and other forms of extraterritorial protection regulated in the European Union? Is the EU acquis in these areas in conformity with international law? What tools does international law offer to solve conflicts between them? And, finally, is law capable of bridging the foundational oppositions embedded in migration and asylum issues? This work combines the potential of legal formalism with an analytical framework drawing on political theory. It analyses the argumentative strategies used by international lawyers, exploiting the interpretative methodology of international law as well as elaborate discrimination arguments. READ MORE
