In doing so, the inconsistencies in the application between international guidelines and domestic policies are highlighted. Furthermore, besides the inconsistencies between the two bodies of law, this paper will explore the discrepancies of the application in the U.S. owing to the administrative position of the adjudicatory mechanism responsible for asylum/refugee cases in the executive branch. This will be explored through the qualitative analysis of judicial decisions, constitutional frameworks, and other, both international and domestic, legal sources, and evidence. Thus, this paper will demonstrate how international treaties become an authoritative source of law, the evolution and inclusion of gender under intentional law, the incorporation of international legal provisions in U.S. law, and the inconsistent application across different presidential administrations. Conclusively, this paper highlights the necessity for Congress to introduce an independent framework to adjudicate refugee/asylum claims. This will allow for stability and consistency in an area of law tasked with protecting some of the most vulnerable groups of people.Item HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa: A human rights perspective.(2005-08-09) Shabiolegbe, Olubunmi; Master of ArtsItem Islamic extremism and the West: Expounding the negative implications of the clash between Islamic extremists and some Western nations.(2011-05-18) Madu, Ifeanyi V.; Metaferia, Getachew; Master of ArtsItem NAFTA: An analysis of North America's Free Trade accord and its impact on illicit border activities.(2006-09-28) Munroe, Alison Leona; Kwarteng, Charles; Master of ArtsItem Russia and NATO expansion: An analysis of Russia's threat perceptions of NATO expansion.(2007-08-09) Afedo, Collins Rawlings; Metaferia, Getachew; Master of ArtsItem The role of an American nongovernmental organization (NGO) in promoting democracy in Ghana: 1992-2000.(2005-04-06) Ibrahim, Abdallah; Hilaire, Max; Master of ArtsItem Transcending the Migration Security Dilemma: A Critical Emancipatory Analysis of Irregular Economic Migration Policy(2020-05) Daniels, Adi; Singer, Eric; Martin, Flo; Barquiero, Carla; CENTER FOR PEOPLE, POLITICS, & MARKETS; Bachelor's DegreeThe phenomena of undocumented migrant labor, or irregular economic migration, has become conentious topic in migration studies and global migration policy. Within International Relations, liberal and realist mainstream approaches to irregular economic migration focus on ways to reduce irregular flow of labor between borders, especially low-skilled labor, on the basis of prioritizing state-security. This research aims to firstly apply the critical concept of emancipation and emancipatory security to the context of irregular economic migration in order to ensure the security of these migrants. Additionally, the research applies constructivist concepts, especially that of ‘discipline,’ to problematize the behavior of state and intergovernmental institutions towards irregular economic migrants. Based on a review of the literature in critical security studies and critical constructivism in regards to migration, this research finds alternatives to state-essentialist approaches to migration that view the emancipation of migrants as mutually beneficial for them and state citizens.
