With global cooperation on refugee protection under mounting strain, understanding the role of individual states has never been more urgent. Canada in the Global Refugee Regime offers the first comprehensive look at Canada’s involvement with the institutions and norms of this regime and the politics that shape refugee protection worldwide.Bringing together leading experts from multiple disciplines, this volume explores how Canada has influenced global refugee responses and where its impact has been more muted. Chapters examine the country’s actions in international forums; its resettlement and sponsorship initiatives; its engagement in key regional contexts such as Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East; and the links between refugee policy and foreign policy. Contributors reflect on the relationship between Canada’s international leadership and its domestic practices, offering a nuanced account that moves beyond simplistic narratives of benevolence.Canada in the Global Refugee Regime invites readers to rethink the regime itself: not as a fixed system, but as a contested space shaped by the interests and actions of states and other participants. It is an essential resource for scholars, students, and policy actors seeking to understand how a single state navigates, contributes to, and is shaped by the global politics of refugee protection.

Migration is at the center of much of the discussion on globalization. Migrants move across borders and thus defy state-centered traditions. Migration is often caused or influenced by aspects of global change: the transformation of the world economy with the expansion of free trade, the modification of the world balance of power and the challenge of global insecurity, the emergence of the global environment as an important political issue, and the redefinition of the role of communities in shaping identities when faced with networks of migrants and diasporas. Forced Migration and Global Processes considers the crossroads of forced migration with three global trends: development, human rights, and security. This expert collection studies these complex interactions and aims to help determine what solutions may alleviate most of the human suffering involved in forced migrations.

This open access book dissects the current narratives of ‘vulnerability’ in asylum laws and policies, by unpacking the meanings, productions, and performances, of ‘vulnerability’ in different contexts, from countries of first asylum in the Global South to Europe and Canada.

The book examines the phenomenon of immigration federalism: its main characteristics, why and how it has developed, its implications for immigration systems (in general) and non-citizens’ rights (in particular).
