Courts of Refuge? The Role of the Judiciary in Migration Governance

Abstract

In recent years, an unprecedented wave of asylum seekers has generated vivid public debates, policies, legislation, and jurisprudence. Much has been written on migration in Europe and elsewhere, but the role of courts, despite their unprecedented role in migration governance, remains underexplored. What are the similarities and differences in the judicial discourse vis-a-vis the migration? How are courts translating the individual, state or origin and socio-anthropological narratives into rulings? What role do courts play in the (inter)national management of migration flows? The aim of this panel is to collect papers that address these questions from a variety of perspectives and methods.
