Description
Grasping Legal Time provides a comprehensive analysis of how temporality operates within European migration and asylum law. Martijn Stronks investigates the often-overlooked temporal dimensions of legal processes, examining how concepts of time, duration, and temporal markers influence migration policy, asylum procedures, and legal decision-making.
The book explores how different temporal frameworks—including waiting periods, processing times, and temporal requirements for legal status—structure the experiences of migrants and asylum seekers. Stronks demonstrates that time is not merely a neutral element in migration law but rather a constitutive force that shapes legal outcomes and access to rights.
This work contributes to the Cambridge Asylum and Migration Studies series by offering innovative theoretical perspectives on how European legal systems construct and deploy temporal concepts to regulate migration. It will appeal to scholars, policy makers, and anyone interested in understanding the complex intersections of law, time, and migration in contemporary Europe.
