‘Legal status and refugee integration: a UK perspective’
The paper focuses on the legal dimension of integration and
investigates the interface between legal status and refugee
integration in the UK context. Legal status shapes one’s legal
environment and therefore has significant implications for

‘When policy creates politics: the problematizing of immigration
and the consequences for refugee integration in
the UK’
This article starts from the premise that the way that policy is
made plays an important role in how it is subsequently received.
It is argued here that New Labour asylum policy and the
symbols and rhetoric that accompanied policy-making, constructed
asylum seekers as a threat.

deprofessionalization, reprofessionalization: the case of
refugee teachers in Scotland’

refugee women’

emphasize education’s role in facilitating self-actualization,
informed by a ’knowledge of the self’.

‘EU Immigration and Asylum – Commentary on EU Regulations
and Directives’
This book is an in-depth commentary on European immigration
law. The EU has usurped essential parts of the national
laws of immigration and asylum, and, hence European Directives
and Regulations have become more important for the
immigration departments and administrative tribunals.

‘Scattered Families’ (proefschrift)
Dit proefschrift gaat over het transnationale familieleven van
Afghaanse vluchtelingen in het licht van op mensenrechten
gebaseerde bescherming van de familie. Het proefschrift is
een gelaagd en empathisch geschreven boek, dat goed
invoelbaar maakt hoe mensen omgaan met de geografische,
culturele en soms ook politieke kloven die zijn ontstaan in
wat voor hen nog steeds zeer vitale familiebanden zijn.

‘Unbalanced reciprocities: Cooperation on readmission in
the Euro-Mediterranean area’
Readmission Agreements are a mechanism for countering
illegal immigration. Such agreements involve reciprocal
undertaking to return illegal residents (or irregular migrants)
to their country of origin or transit. This special edition of
Middle East Institute (MEI) Viewpoints brings together extensive
research on agreements between European and North
African states. This edition explores what can be argued as
the unbalanced cost and benefits for all parties.
