    Western European countries increasingly restrict asylum by denying refugee status or shifting claim responsibilities. This study examines the trend of states transferring asylum application reviews to other nations.

    Area of Science:

    • Social Science
    • Political Science
    • International Relations

    Background:

    • Rising xenophobic tendencies in Western Europe during the 1980s coincided with increased asylum seeker influx.
    • Restrictive practices include denying refugee status and externalizing asylum claim processing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the tendency of states to shift the responsibility for examining asylum requests to other countries.
    • To explore the implications of externalizing asylum processing on the concept of a refugee and asylum policies.

    Main Methods:

    • The study focuses on the trend of shifting responsibility for asylum claim examination, rather than a deep dive into jurisprudence.
    • It involves an analysis of state practices in managing asylum requests.
