The realities of a new asylum paradigm Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE ASYLUM POLICY GOVERNMENT POLICY REFUGEES UNHCR REFUGEE PROCESSING CENTRES EXTRATERRITORIAL PROCESSING This article looks briefly at the discussions around processing centres, which seem to have focussed attention on whether a New Asylum Paradigm is emerging, and to explore developments on the ground, asking to what extent alleged novelties constitute a new, or a single, paradigm. We suggest that although there are apparently competing, conflicting and contradictory proposals and projects on the table, in fact a common logic underpins all of them. Following a sketch of the different proposals we consider the positions of some of the states involved in these developments. We then examine what's happening on the ground in two states targeted as potential partners in the proposals – Libya and Morocco. In the last section of the paper, the significance, novelty and dangers of the proposals are evaluated. 2026-09-30T11:48:21Z Text Online resource 10.25446/oxford.33354081.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/The_realities_of_a_new_asylum_paradigm/33354081 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
