This book examines the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum from different multidisciplinary perspectives and world regions experiences. The various Chapter contributions explore the Pact’s scope and impacts in light of the commitments enshrined in the United Nations Global Compact on Refugees and their compatibility with international and regional refugee law standards and EU Treaty principles. The book studies the mobility and containment components of asylum and migration management instruments and their implementing actors – in Europe and other selected world regions, as well as their inclusionary and exclusionary effects on individuals’ human rights and refugee protection.

This is an abstract of the book written by Sergio Carrera and Andrew Geddes.
