Free book content:

A Network Society Communicative Model for Optimising the Refugee Status Determination System (Editora da Universidade Estadual da Paraíba, 2022) [open access]
- "The refugee status determination (RSD) system is very complex. It includes the roles of and interaction among some implementing partners, such as the UNHCR, sovereign states, local and international NGOs, as well as refugees and asylum seekers. Not all of them are thoroughly regulated by the international regime and the sphere of their legal competences sometimes  clash. A proposed solution is a network society formed by all above-mentioned implementing partners and based on a dialogical model inspired by a communicative action."

Refugee Law (Bristol Univ. Press, April 2022) [info]

Including an introduction to the historical and legal context, Colin Yeo draws on his experience as an immigration barrister to explain the present-day legal framework for global refugee protection." Note: The first three chapters can be read for free. More details about the book provided in this blog post.

Managing Mixed Migration, Yale Journal of International Law Symposium, 18 April 2022 [access]
- "The essays collected in this Symposium survey the law, politics, and history of mixed migration. They reveal how states have interpreted the term and showcase the promise and perils of migrant categorization. Above all, they tell a story about how governments rely on the mixed character of migrant flows and the mixed motives of people on the move to draw categories, force emigration, and constrain immigration."
