Founded in 2009, the Sciences Po Law Review is a bilingual biannual journal affiliated with the Association of Jurists of Sciences Po (AJSP). Published by LexisNexis, the Review has offered thematic dossiers devoted to major legal issues. Entirely and independently designed by students of the Sciences Po Law School, the Review now has more than twenty issues.
The Review is written by academics, practitioners and students from Sciences Po as well as from other institutions. The members of the Journal select the contributors and organise the publication. Each issue is placed under the scientific direction of a prominent expert in the legal field.
In constant development, the Revue des Juristes de Sciences Po intends to become a reference among student publications. By progressively enhancing its visibility, it ultimately aims to shape the perspectives of legal professionals regarding the influence of law in our modern society.
Issue No. 28 Law, asylum and migrations
The Sciences Po Law Review is pleased to announce the publication of its 28th issue, devoted to the subject of rights, asylum and migration, under the scientific direction of Vincent Chetail.
One of the most polarising topics in contemporary political debate, migration today gives rise to representations that are often distorted, exaggerated or exploited, even though it primarily concerns individuals who are subjects of law. This issue therefore aims to offer a rigorous and nuanced reading of this complex phenomenon, at the crossroads of law, history and social sciences.
The edition is structured around four main themes. The first chapter examines the international and European legal frameworks governing human mobility, highlighting the tensions between state sovereignty and protection obligations. The second focuses on the law on foreigners in France, which is marked by regulatory instability and derogatory regimes, revealing the dynamics of precariousness that it engenders. The third explores changes in asylum law through a historical and critical analysis of recent European reforms. Finally, the fourth chapter highlights the situation of foreign minors, who are particularly vulnerable, by examining the systems for receiving, assessing and protecting their fundamental rights.
Through this diversity of approaches and fields, this issue offers an essential contribution to the debate, far removed from the simplifications and caricatures that too often surround migration.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to our scientific committee, the authors and the editorial team, whose work and commitment have made this publication possible.
