Toward Temporary Asylum in the Nordic Countries? Trends and dilemmas

Are the Nordic countries moving towards temporary protection for refugees? What are the legal and political implications of increased temporariness in the Nordics?

Following the 2015 asylum crisis in Europe, several Nordic countries introduced new forms of temporary asylum permits. We gather leading Nordic migration experts to discuss current national temporary asylum instruments, including cessation, revocation and increased use of temporary permits.
