Description

European international border management (EIBM) is at the coal face of effective implementation of the Unions refugee policy yet it is arguably under-examined. This important new work addresses that gap by examining the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex), which coordinates and supervises the action of various actors involved in the EIBM. With impressive analysis, it clearly illustrates how the development of Frontex has resulted in tensions between territory and public power. It charts cooperative challenges faced, and the human rights obligations that such cooperation gives rise to. This rigorous approach brings much welcome clarity to a complex field of law, at the intersection of EU and international law. This is an impressive new analysis of the EUs refugee framework in action.
