Immigration Detention in the European Union: In the Shadow of the "crisis"

This book offers a unique comparative assessment of the evolution of immigration detention systems in European Union member states since the onset of the "refugee crisis." By applying an analytical framework premised on international human rights law in assessing domestic detention regimes, the book reveals the extent to which EU legislation has led to the adoption of laws and practices that may disregard fundamental rights and standards. While emphasizing policies and laws adopted in response to the "refugee crisis," the volume also shows how these policies have evolved-and in many cases grown more restrictive-even as the "crisis" has begun to recede from the borders of many European countries. To sharpen awareness of contrasting developments across the region, the book's country chapters are organised into geographic sections that reveal how variations in migration pressures have in some cases resulted in contrasting detention practices even as the EU directives have sought to harmonise immigration laws. A critical focus of the book are the evolving domestic norms related to grounds for detention, length of detention, non-custodial "alternatives to detention," the treatment of children, and conditions of detention. With its systematic and comparative assessment of immigration detention regimes across the EU, the book will be helpful for both academics and practitioners who seek a comprehensive guide to the evolution of one of today's more important human rights dilemmas-states' efforts to control global migration.

I have owned five copies of this book...

And I've given four of them away to friends, who all liked it. You can get the story from other reviews. While the Greens are the "enemy" in this story, it's really aimed at anyone who would rather follow an emotional cause than think for themselves. While the argument over global warming is far from settled (despite the popular press), the "dumbing-down" of our society is not in question. Science is a mystery to the vast...

The lady doth protest too much, methinks

Good entertaining speculative fiction with a surprising and unusual perspective!OK, this book is not great Sci-Fi. It reads like an old StarTrek episode, or even more like Galaxy Quest! I was inspired to write because of the negative reviews about this book. A writer accused anyone who likes this book as being "Braindead" and a "Rush Limbaugh dittohead".Yes, in this book, the environmentalists are the bad guys.Unfortunately,...

Way better than I expected

Over the years we've come to expect great things from Niven/Pournelle collaborations, their track record has been so good that you can't help but want more from each sucessive novel. But for some reason I had low expectations for this, the concept just didn't seem that interesting . . . in a nutshell two astronauts crashland into the middle of a future US where most technology has been outlawed in favor of an extremist form...

George Orwell Revised

Fallen Angels is perhaps the most chilling dystopian tale of the future since Orwell's "1984"; but only if you're a pro-technology, pro-human creature. It portrays a future in which the objectivity of "materialist" science is "an invention of heterosexual, white males," and owning an unlicensed computer is a crime. While the anti-techology views are hyperbolized for dramatic purpose, the hyperbole is becoming closer to to...

The Elite Become the Hunted

In the year 2025, Luddites and Greens have taken over the United States. Excessive heating is abolished; people are forced to burn alcohol in their cars. Technology having long-since been made taboo, science-fiction fans/writers have either been brain-washed, been forced into hiding, or exiled to Austrailia. Meanwhile, 200 miles above the Earth, the descendents of the last astronauts and cosmonauts fight a continual, losing...
