Reluctant Reception: Refugees, Migration and Governance in the Middle East and North Africa

Norman conducts a comparative analysis of asylee law and policy options for MENA nations, focusing on Morocco, Egypt and Turkey, arguing their limited support for migrant populations is a policy of “strategic indifference,” allowing nations to maximize international support of migrating populations and minimize local investment.
