📰 #LSEPhilosophy Associate Professor Kieran Oberman has published his new paper ‘Enough Spurious Distinctions: Refugees are Just People in Need of Refuge’ in Springer Nature. ❓ What makes refugees different to non-refugee migrants? A plausible answer is that refugees need refuge. Within their home state, they fall below some threshold. To fulfil their basic human needs, they must migrate elsewhere. Non-refugee migrants might be badly off in relative terms, but they don’t fall below this threshold. It is because refugees need refuge that they have a claim to refuge. Kieran Oberman argues that states are obligated to admit them at least when they can do so without severe cost. 🔗 You can read the paper (open access) at: https://lnkd.in/eraYWcBw #LSE #Philosophy #PartOfLSE #Refugees

At the end of last year, 75% of refugees live in low- and middle- income countries. Yet we tend to focus on policy responses in high-income regions like Europe and North America. This has left few theoretical frameworks for understanding the trends, determinants, and consequences of asylum policies in the Global South. In 2018, a team of researchers who wanted to help close this gap created the first comparable dataset of asylum policies in the Global South, a critical step toward a more balanced understanding of global refugee policy. Read the IPL study Christopher Blair, Guy Grossman, and Jeremy Weinstein conducted on the role between asylum policies and where forced migrants flee to within the Global South. #WorldRefugeeDay https://lnkd.in/gG2XbJmE
