This groundbreaking book introduces a fresh perspective on asylum cooperation between states. Nikolas Feith Tan develops an innovative framework of transnational asylum that carefully balances the control interests of states and obligations under human rights and refugee law. By addressing short comings of existing approaches and emphasising genuine cooperation, the work paves the way for a more equitable and effective refugee protection regime. Meticulously researched and beautifully written, this book is a must read for scholars, policy makers, asylum advocates and practitioners.

"Highlighting the vital need for reinforced international protection to address refugee protection challenges, Nikolas Feith Tans work provides important new insights and ideas around how States can work more effectively together, in ways which uphold and recognize the enduring relevance and applicability of the 1951 Convention. It represents a comprehensive and timely contribution to work and discussions on ensuring access to international protection for those who need it in todays dynamic and complex global context, and will be of great interest to academics, policy-makers, international organizations and others working in the field."
