A novel legal argument about the voting rights of refugees recognised in the 1951 Geneva Convention.

Recenzje

'Voting Rights of Refugees raises topical and important issues about the fundamental political rights of refugees and the substance and meaning of citizenship in an age of migration. Based on thorough and wide-ranging legal and political analysis, Ziegler develops a convincing case for extending the right of CSR 1951 refugees to vote in their states of asylum due to their special case and political predicament.' Lisa Pilgram, Journal of Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Law
