Over the past decade, a global convergence in migration policies has emerged, and with it a new, mean-spirited politics of immigration. It is now evident that the idea of a settler society, previously an important landmark in understanding migration, is a thing of the past. What are the consequences of this shift for how we imagine immigration? And for how we regulate it? This book analyzes the dramatic shift away from the settler society paradigm in light of the crisis of asylum, the fear of Islamic fundamentalism, and the demise of multiculturalism. What emerges is a radically original take on the new global politics of immigration that can explain policy paralysis in the face of rising death tolls, failing human rights arguments, and persistent state desires to treat migration as an economic calculus

Abstract
This article argues that the humanitarian outpouring of support that has greeted those fleeing the war in Ukraine exposes fragility in international refugee law. Over and over again, humanitarianism has proven insufficient to address the protection needs of refugees. The politics of humanitarianism present many advantages to states and are potentially highly motivating to publics, but they are an insufficient substitute for legally-grounded human rights protections. The current humanitarian moment is raising a number of questions about refugee law, and is fostering considerable confusion about the role of law in responding to those fleeing Ukraine. Despite refugee law's imperfections and biases, in a world that is increasingly hostile to migrants, international refugee law is the strongest tool available. In the face of the humanitarian surge of the moment, it is important to defend the core protection commitments of refugee law, even as we work to improve the law's shortcomings. While it is tempting to shy away from anything that could be perceived as a critique of the compassion and generosity we are witnessing, as scholars and advocates we should use this moment to draw important lessons about how to strengthen refugee law.
