Cambridge University Press Chinese Refugee Law and Policy
Book SynopsisThis book is the first to systematically examine Chinese refugee law and policy. It provides in-depth legal and policy analysis and makes recommendations to relevant stakeholders, drawing upon not only existing legal and policy scholarships but also empirical information acquired through field visits and interviews with refugees, former refugees, and staff of governmental and non-governmental organisations working with displaced population. It is a timely response to rapidly growing international interest in and demand for information about Chinese and Asian approaches to refugee protection in academia and the policy sector.Trade Review‘It can be very difficult, at the best of times, to penetrate the often intricate network of interacting policies, practices and laws which will determine who gets asylum protection in any one country and who does not. China's system is a particular case in point. Lili Song, through her assiduous research and clear understanding of what it can mean to go down the asylum road in China, has made a significant contribution to demystifying the decision-making processes, clarifying constraints and understanding how they play out in the broader international and regional contexts. An insightful and very worthwhile piece of scholarship.’ Erika Feller, University of Melbourne'China’s asylum policy is a conundrum. It is a long-time party to the Refugee Convention that received some 300,000 Vietnamese refugees during the 1970s and still tolerates a robust protection regime in Hong Kong. Yet China has no formal asylum procedure, receives only a trickle of protection requests, and stands accused of refoulement of North Korean and other refugees. Lili Song’s historical and policy analysis is a welcome first look at how this legal regime evolved, and where it is headed.’ James C. Hathaway, University of Michigan‘Despite China's mounting influence on the international stage and its growing engagement with international humanitarian and human rights issues, the country's refugee law and policy have never been the subject of a comprehensive and systematic analysis. This volume fills that major gap in an admirable manner, providing an incisive account of the Chinese perspective on refugee issues, both globally and in the Asian context.’ Jeff Crisp, University of Oxford and Chatham House'As Dr Song explains in this book, China has a long and varied experience with refugees, including the Indochinese crisis in the 1970s and 1980s, and more recently from North Korea and Myanmar. A little-known fact is that China has been a party to the Refugee Convention since 1982. This book provides unique and informed insights into China’s response to refugee issues nationally, and as a regional and global actor. It includes contemporary accounts of the responses of the two Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau.’ Susan Kneebone, University of MelbourneTable of Contents1. Introduction; Part I.

Cambridge University Press Srebrenica in the Aftermath of Genocide
Book SynopsisThis book traces the reverberations of genocide, forced displacement, and a legacy of loss in Bosnia and abroad.Trade Review'Extending the purview of their single-authored books on Bosnia and Herzegovina, Nettelfield and Wagner have produced an authoritative account of genocide's aftermath in the Drina Valley. The book easily surpasses most of what passes for scholarship on 'post-conflict justice'. Closely observed, deeply researched, and empathetically written, their longitudinal analysis of local dynamics of contention in Srebrenica and environs complicates - in an admirable way - all kinds of simplistic assumptions about the nature and promise of international humanitarianism. By taking ethnography seriously, the authors have made an important contribution to both the study of genocide and of war.' Jens Meierhenrich, London School of Economics and Political Science'Lara J. Nettelfield and Sarah E. Wagner have written a powerful and evocative book about Srebrenica, where there was the worst massacre in Europe since World War II. They focus on the reactions by a wide variety of actors in the aftermath of this tragedy. They employ categories of analysis from international law, cultural anthropology, political philosophy, and international relations. But the greatest strength of this book is the way the authors give voice to the victims whose lives are often now far removed from Bosnia but still haunted by the events of 1995 in Srebrenica. As the authors say, the wide-ranging reactions after the mass killings in Srebrenica display 'the extraordinary nature of the crimes, as well as the far-reaching legacy of loss'.' Larry May, Professor of Law, Political Science and W. Alton Jones Professor of Philosophy, Vanderbilt University'Srebrenica in the Aftermath of Genocide represents a major contribution to the understanding of the politics of memory of the 1995 Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Superbly written, it carefully charts the local and international contestation over the memory of the worst war crime in Europe since the Second World War in various sites, including in the media, in museums and at international criminal tribunals. Lara J. Nettelfield and Sarah E. Wagner combine their considerable and complementary talents as a comparative political scientist and socio-cultural anthropologist respectively, and this book is a testament to the value of interdisciplinary collaboration.' Richard A. Wilson, Gladstein Professor of Human Rights and Professor of Anthropology and Law, University of Connecticut'Political scientist Lara J. Nettelfield and anthropologist Sarah E. Wagner have produced a masterpiece. For the international criminal law scholar and practitioner, the authors have demanded a re-thinking of 'participation' in genocide. For the anthropologist, this work addresses the cultural context within which domestic and international criminal and civil trials shape postwar Bosnia. Finally, the work of the historian and Slavic studies specialist will require close awareness to the people of Srebrenica: those who stayed, and those who were left behind. This excellent volume will soon be regarded as a major work on the post-genocide era in Srebrenica.' Julie Mertus, American University, Washington DC'Nettelfield and Wagner see the people of Srebrenica not merely as victims of genocide, but as individuals who have battled courageously for years against the system in order to secure basic human rights, taking steps - often and consciously - that had an impact on the entire region, as well as the international community. In a remarkable way, this book describes how genocide and mass war crimes affect society, at the same time they change and form it. After years of living and conducting research in Bosnia and Herzegovina, [Nettelfield and Wagner] have written one of the most important works to date about the lives of people who survived or were in some way affected by the Srebrenica genocide.' Nidžara Ahmetašević, Slobodna Bosna'It is an exhaustive and landmark study … covering the progress of 'Srebrenica in court', at The Hague, the grotesque disinterrment of bodies from mass graves to 'secondary graves' and even tertiary ones to hide the evidence, the fortunes of Srebrenica's diaspora scattered worldwide and the vicious harassment of those survivors - mostly women, of course - who dare to return to their native soil.' Ed Vulliamy, Open Democracy (opendemocracy.net)'Srebrenica in the Aftermath of Genocide is a major contribution to how the memory of the Srebrenica massacre in 1995 is understood, and thus how genocide and war crimes alter society. … a deeply researched and superbly written account of suffering and resistance in the face of destructive, anti-human forces.' Paul R. Bartrop, Holocaust and Genocide StudiesTable of Contents1. Introduction; Part I. Memory and Movement: 2. Memorializing Srebrenica; 3. The politics and practice of homecoming: refugee return; 4. Special status for a special crime; Part II. Redress beyond Bosnia: 5. Srebrenica abroad: diaspora activism and controversies; 6.
