N2  - "The Use and Abuse of Political Asylum in Britain and Germany combines an analysis of asylum from a historical and conceptual perspective with a comparative study of British and German asylum and refugee policies. It is argued that political asylum has been used and abused by governments with minimal regard for the protection of those who seek asylum." "The book is an interdisciplinary work, bringing together sociological, political and policy perspectives."--BOOK JACKET
