| Περίληψη: | The issue of asylum has polarised Swiss public opinion for the last four decades. Since its
entry into force in 1981, the Asylum Law has been revised on numerous occasions, following
a general trend toward more restrictiveness. Among the many discourses that have
accompanied the politicisation of asylum, the rhetoric of the "fight against abuse" has
emerged as a dominant framework of public debate, gathering a broad consensus. With few
exceptions, existing scholarship on the Swiss context has remained silent on the issue. This
collective and multidisciplinary book fills this gap in the literature by exploring the various
forms and expressions of the discourse of abuse, as well as its impact on the production and
implementation of asylum law. |
