A new asylum paradigm? Globalization, migration and the uncertain future of the international refugee regime Jeff Crisp
In our world, we can find more than 10 million people who, when asked where home is, can only respond that they are stateless. This large cluster of stateless people live and reside in lands where they do not have legal membership, given by the state to them. Due to this lack of membership within a state that an individual is occupying, they lose the legal rights they would have if they were members of that said state.Some of these rights include protection, protection from prosecution, and all together a sense of support.

In response the author suggests that each state report the number of stateless within their state and analyze proper procedures to reduce stateless concerns and claims.

The author refers to individuals who were taken from birth and have lived their entire lives at this camp. Ben Rawlence even focuses on the individuals that have made it clear to him that they are doing everything to get out of the camp, whether it be through education, escape, or politics.

While a few fall into the depression, starvation, disease, and violence that is apparent in this camp, some pursue ways out regardless of their
