Protection Seekers, States and the New Security Agenda

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSI could not have imagined writing this book without the moral support of my wife, Jo, in the first place. Also this book could not have been completed without the financial support of the Bristol Law School, University of the West of England. Many people (too many to list them all here) have contributed their time, expertise, and energy to this work. However, I would like to express my special gratitude to my parents, Onur and Hale and my in-laws, Ian and Joyce, and Grandma Georgina, for their unwavering support. And of course, for the joyful spirit of my children, Melike, Evren and Kyra, who enabled me to have a continuum throughout my academic work.Dr. Umut TURKSEN
