This book identifies two puzzling patterns: states open their borders to some refugee groups while blocking others (discrimination), and a number of countries have given the UN control of asylum procedures and refugee camps on their territory (delegation). To explain this selective exercise of sovereignty, the book develops a two-part theoretical framework in which policymakers in refugee-receiving countries weigh international and domestic concerns. Internationally, leaders use refugees in order to reassure allies and exert pressure on rivals. Domestically, policymakers have incentives to favor those refugee groups with whom they share an ethnic identity. When these international and domestic incentives conflict, shifting responsibility to the UN allows policymakers to placate both refugee-sending countries and domestic constituencies. The book then carries out a "three-stage, multi-level" research design in which each successive step corroborates and elaborates the findings of the preceding stage. The first stage involves statistical analysis of asylum admissions worldwide. The second stage presents two country case studies: Egypt (a country that is broadly representative of most refugee recipients) and Turkey (an outlier that has limited the geographic application of the Refugee Convention). The third stage zooms in on sub- or within-country dynamics in Kenya (home to one of the largest refugee populations in the world) through content analysis of parliamentary proceedings. Studying state responses to refugees is instructive because it can help explain why states sometimes assert, and at other times cede, their sovereignty in the face of refugee rights"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Refugees $x Government policy. 650 0 $a Emigration and immigration $x Government policy. 650 0 $a Emigration and immigration $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Emigration and immigration $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a International agencies. 650 0 $a Sovereignty. 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908700 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908710 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908722 650 7 $a International agencies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976708 650 7 $a Refugees $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092811 650 7 $a Sovereignty. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01127379 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919930 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Abdelaaty, Lamis Elmy. $s Selective sovereignty $t Discrimination and delegation $d New York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2021] $z 9780197530085 $w (DLC) 2020030370 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517010854.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=59BCD800DCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
