A comprehensive, critical work that is global in scope, the Handbook analyses the state of research across the refugee law regime as a whole. Drawing together leading and emerging scholars, it provides both doctrinal and theoretical analyses of international refugee law and practice. It critiques existing law from a variety of normative positions, with several chapters identifying foundational flaws that open up space for radical rethinking. Many authors work directly in the field, and their contributions demonstrate how scholarship and practice can mutually inform each other.

Contributions assess a wide range of international legal instruments relevant to refugee protection, including from international human rights law, international humanitarian law, international migration law, the law of the sea, and international and transnational criminal law. Geographically, contributors examine regional and domestic laws and practices from around the world, with 10 chapters focused on specific regions.

Chapters by ODID academics include: 'Human Trafficking and Refugees', by Catherine Briddick and Vladislava Stoyanova; 'Non-penalization and non-criminalization', by Cathryn Costello and Yulia Ioffe; and 'The Right to Work', by Colm O'Cinneide and Cathryn Costello.
