Abstract
Abstract This article re-examines the relationship between international human rights and refugee law as a story of mutual interaction, by harnessing and developing the nascent concept of legal entanglement. While entanglement serves as an alternative starting point to understand how legal regimes mutually affect each other, this new concept still lacks sufficient clarity for making sense of the interfaces and development of international law. This article proposes an analytical framework for international legal theory by outlining a model of the normative, interpretive, and socio-political drivers of entangled regimes. It argues that new norms, interpretations, and socio-political shifts explain the rapprochement and distancing between refugee law and human rights over time. Acknowledging the risk that entanglement framing may become altogether too encompassing, the proposed approach to entangled regimes allows for precision and nuance in the empirical tracing of international law.
