By pursuing this research, we hope to provide insightful information and suggestions for refugee issues in Japan.
Why do host governments accept refugees and attach rights to them? Under what conditions do they accept the recommendations of international organizations? This study aims to present a theoretical model of the impact of the political system and institutions of the host country on the reception of refugee inflows and the guarantee of rights. We conducted an empirical analysis using a combination of statistical analysis of international comparative data and case studies. Focusing on the (non)democratic regime’s awareness of human rights and the relationship between the people and the state, we argue that the host country’s political system and institutions regulate the actions and decisions of the host country government and refugees, and consequently affect the movement of refugees and the granting of rights.
