Adjudicating Refugee and Asylum Status
In this book, legal, biomedical, psychosocial, and social science scholars and practitioners offer the first comparative account of the increasing dependence on expertise in the asylum and refugee status determination process.

This note highlights how gender equality, in both cases, can serve as a stabilizing ...
