The book proposes a responsive, effective protection framework for asylum seekers in the European Union.

It does so by taking a three-fold approach: firstly, it sets out an integrated analysis of asylum solidarity, reflecting on the past, present and future. Secondly, it interrogates the nature of asylum solidarity as a legal concept, focusing on the notion of fairness. Finally, it sets out the future design of the EU asylum regime. This is based on a broader understanding of solidarity, which allows for a more balanced system. Thought-provoking and solution focused, this is an important new statement on EU asylum law.
