- "Focusing on Europe and programs admitting people to Germany from Lebanon and Turkey, Natalie Welfens explores multilevel policy developments, from the national to the global. She follows the admission chain – from policy formulation, via refugee selection and pre-departure preparations, to refugee reception – and illustrates how policy categories transform based on intersecting social markers such as nationality, gender, and age. Unequal Access reveals the inequalities embedded in the categorization practices of resettlement and humanitarian admission programs, demonstrating how these practices profoundly shape access to protection for refugees."
