EVENT: Europe's refugee "crisis": Is there an "Australian solution"?

Europe in 2015 has witnessed refugees approaching its borders in large numbers, leading to an atmosphere of crisis and sharp divergences amongst European elites over how best to respond. In this lecture, Professor Maley shows how refugees are constituted through the Westphalian system of states, explores the specific factors that have contributed to recent movements, outlines some principles for responding to refugee movements, and highlights the limited value of Australian policy settings in responding to Europe's complex challenges.
