Acknowledgements
Many people assisted in the production of this book. We are especially
grateful to Tim Williams and Georgiana Applegate at Edward Elgar
Publishing for soliciting this study and for their professional assistance
throughout the publication process. It has been a pleasure to work with
them both. We would also like to thank Professor Andrew Clapham, Aline
Baumgartner and Annyssa Bellal of the Geneva Academy of International
Humanitarian Law and Human Rights for their early encouragement of
this work. The Academy was instrumental in the development of this com-
parative study and kindly recommended us to Edward Elgar Publishing.
We are also grateful to our colleagues in UNHCR's Statelessness Unit, in
particular Mark Manly, who has consistently supported our work and has
championed efforts to reduce statelessness.
This was a complicated research project, which involved a team spread
across several corners of the world. Colleagues at Oxford Brookes
University facilitated an earlier study, which gave rise to this book and
then helped us secure permission to reuse some material from the initial
study in this volume. We are especially grateful to Brian Rivers, Lucinda
Frew, Jennie Cripps and Kevin Henderson. Tempe Lautze of Midnight
Express Edits carefully read every word of this document and provided
helpful recommendations as she prepared the manuscript. Emily Hirst of
Oxford Brookes University assisted with proofreading and Emily Kenny
at the Open Society Justice Initiative helped in securing permissions.
