- ‘Asylum After Empire’ is the outcome of three years of research combining archival research at the British National Archives and UN Archives in Geneva with contemporary policy analysis and theoretical development. It is the first study to explore how contemporary asylum regimes can be understood as driven by logics which are continuous with colonial ways of viewing the world. Theoretically, it develops a new framework for understanding the contemporary moment within a historical context. Contemporary policies which address asylum seekers must, then, be understood not only in presentist terms, but within the context of colonial histories.
