Nikolas' PhD thesis analyses bilateral cooperation on asylum seekers and refugees between Global North and Global South states, with an empirical focus on policies led by Australia and European countries.

The thesis considers the limits international law places on state cooperation in this area and sets out standards for cooperation in accordance with human rights and refugee law. In so doing, the thesis analyses issues of practice, jurisdiction, responsibility and accountability in bilateral cooperation, and introduces the concept of transnational asylum to inform future cooperation on asylum seekers and refugees.

Topic of the lecture will be: ”Transnational asylum: a realistic or idealistic legal vision”.
