In doing so, it addresses issues of detention, gender, children and health as well as welfare policies for refugees. The contributions, all written by academics and practitioners of refugee protection, vividly illustrate the tangible shifts and concerns of a process that is not only aimed at establishing policies and legislation but also practices concerning refugees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“Interesting contribution to an often too Euro-centric discourse.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Verfassung und Recht in Übersee \/ Law and Politics in Africa, Asia and Latin America\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“The book is a well-researched and balanced discussion of South Africa’s attempt to address its refugee problems.
