I just learned that the following volume can be accessed for free from 15 January 2025 to 12 February 2025. Thanks to the RRN Research Digest for the tip!
Petrice R. Flowers, Refugee Policies in East Asia, Cambridge Univ. Press, Jan. 2025
- "East Asia stands apart from the rest of Asia in the prevalence of the institutionalization of the 1951 Refugee Convention. Despite this widespread adoption of the Convention in East Asia, the record on implementation into domestic law and policy is uneven. This Element offers a comparative analysis of the gap between the institutionalization of the Refugee Convention and the implementation of refugee policy in China, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, and Mongolia. Specific attention is given to two key policy issues: refugee status determination—deciding who is granted government recognition as a refugee—and complementary forms of protection—protection based on statutes other than the Refugee Convention. This Element demonstrates that implementation of the Refugee Convention in East Asia depends on a vibrant civil society with the space and opportunity to engage with local UNHCR offices, local branches of international nongovernmental organizations (INGOs), and other stake holders.
Publishers often provide free access to portions of their content throughout the year. If you want to locate additional materials at no cost (either because they have been published as open access or because they are freely available for a limited time period), you can usually do so via the search functions on publishers' websites. Here are some examples:
- Cambridge University Press' search page allows you to limit your search results to "only content I have access to" and/or "open access." Sort the results by publication date to view the most recent; see, e.g., this search for "refugees."
- Elsevier's journals and books are both searchable via this form. Enter your search terms first, then refine your search results by ticking the "access type" box at the bottom of the form on the left. Sample search results are here.
- Oxford University Press has separate search pages for its journals and books. Here's a sample search for journal articles with "refugees" in the title; boxes for both "free" content and "open access" content were ticked.
- Here are refugee-related search results for Sage Journals.
- With Taylor & Francis' journal content search page, enter a search term first, then you will be able to select filters for free or open access content; see these sample results. Use this search page to locate freely available book content.
