Abstract

This paper traces the effects of the refugee rights movement on workings of the U.S. asylum system, focusing on the processes used in the initial adjudication of asylum claims. It offers an institutionalist explanation for the increased proceduralism in U.S. asylum adjudication, despite changes in the tenor of U.S. immigration politics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
