"The book provides an in-depth discussion of questions relating to democratic theory in relation to refugee law. The work introduces readers to the evolution of refugee law and its core issues, as well as central lines in the debate about democracy and migration. Bringing together these fields, the book links theoretical considerations and legal analysis. Based on its specific understanding of the refugee concept, it offers a reconstruction of refugee law as constantly confronted with the challenge of how to secure rights to those who have no voice in the democratic process. In this reconstruction, the book highlights on the one hand the need to look beyond the legal regulations for understanding the challenges in current refugee protection. It is also the structural lack of political voice, the book argues, which shapes the refugee's situation. At the same time, it opposes a critique that views law as mere expression of power and does not adequately capture the dynamics inside the law"--
