Abstract
This chapter analyses the extent of differential incorporation at domestic level of global norms and standards for asylum-seekers and refugees in Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, Jordan, South Africa and Türkiye. The chapter identifies sources of variation and their effects on domestic level responses to global norms and standards associated with refugee protection. The Chapter identifies four potential domestic-level responses to global norms and standards: adoption, adaptation, resistance and rejection. It then provides empirical evidence combining network analysis supplemented by interviews with 99 elite actors in the six case countries with interviewees defined by their leadership role in relation to asylum and refugee governance. The Chapter identifies sources of variation in asylum/refugee governance and identifies: (i) variation in the meaning of protection; (ii) the important role played by IOs in mediating the relationship between the domestic and the international levels; (iii) scope for contestation of global norms; (iv) how contestation can lead both to watering-down of global norms and standards; and (v), in the case of Brazil, how protection standards can be upgraded at national level through use of regional norms and standards that are seen as more progressive than global norms and standards.
