Manuel de droit européen en matière d'asile, de frontières et d'immigration


Book Description

La Convention européenne des droits de l'homme (CEDH) et la législation de l'Union européenne (UE) fournissent un cadre de plus en plus important pour la protection des droits des ressortissants étrangers. La législation de l'UE relative à l'asile, aux frontières et à l'immigration se développe rapidement. Il existe un impressionnant corpus de jurisprudence de la Cour européenne des droits de l'homme qui porte, en particulier, sur les articles 3, 5, 8 et 13 de la CEDH. La Cour de Justice de l'Union européenne (CJUE) est également de plus en plus souvent appelée à se prononcer sur l'interprétation des dispositions de la législation de l'UE en la matière. La deuxième édition du présent manuel, mise à jour en décembre 2013, expose de manière accessible cette législation et la jurisprudence des deux cours européennes dans ce domaine. Il s'adresse aux praticiens du droit, aux juges, aux procureurs, aux agents des services de l'immigration et aux organisations non gouvernementales des États membres de l'UE ou du Conseil de l'Europe.

Crossing African Borders


Book Description

This publication is one of the results of a conference organised in Lisbon in 2011 on the theme of African borders and their relationships with migration and mobility. The selected papers are a sample of the diverse perspectives on the general theme presented at the meeting. The African Borderlands Research Network (ABORNE) promoted this event, allowing a substantial number of its members to exchange results of ongoing and long-term research. The Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (Portugal) funded the research project Borders and Identity in Africa (PTDC/AFR/098339/2008) which prepared this publication.




Spaces and Identities in Border Regions


Book Description

Spatial and identity research operates with differentiations and relations. These are particularly useful heuristic tools when examining border regions where social and geopolitical demarcations diverge. Applying this approach, the authors of this volume investigate spatial and identity constructions in cross-border contexts as they appear in everyday, institutional and media practices. The results are discussed with a keen eye for obliquely aligned spaces and identities and relinked to governmental issues of normalization and subjectivation. The studies base upon empirical surveys conducted in Germany, France, Belgium and Luxembourg.
