DESCRIPTION:About this talk\nWith the Refugee Convention marking its 75th 
 anniversary\, how have Arab states shaped its trajectory and legacy\, and 
 what futures might unfold for the international refugee regime in the Midd
 le East?\n\nA discussion to launch a new open access book: Refugee Governa
 nce in the Arab World: The International Refugee Regime and Global Politic
 s edited by Tamirace Fakhoury and Dawn Chatty. The book presents the first
  comprehensive study of how Arab states interact with the international re
 fugee regime. It offers a multidisciplinary perspective bringing together 
 historical\, political\, legal\, sociological\, and anthropological approa
 ches. Through a wide range of case studies\, the anthology explores how Ar
 ab states have created norms and practices of refugee governance beyond 
 – and not necessarily aligned with – international refugee law. It als
 o analyses how Arab states have negotiated and contested international agr
 eements and processes. In doing so\, the book 'de-exceptionalizes' the Ara
 b region\, positioning states and societies as norm shapers with an impact
  on global politics beyond the Arab world.\n\nAbout the speakers\nAssociat
 e Professor Tamirace Fakhoury The Fletcher School\, Tufts University\, US 
 (Co editor of the book) and Professor Dawn Chatty Emeritus Professor of An
 thropology and Forced Migration Refugee Studies Centre\, University of Oxf
 ord (Co editor of the book).\n\nWith contributions from: Professor Dallal 
 Stevens Emeritus Professor of Refugee Law University of Warwick\, UK (auth
 or) and Dr. Ann Christin Zuntz Lecturer in Anthropology of Development Uni
 versity of Edinburgh (author)\n\n\nThe seminar will be followed by drinks 
 in the Hall.
