 \nAbstract: The core of the asylum regime is the principle ofnon-refouleme
 nt that prohibits governments from sending refugees back to their persecut
 ors. Governments attempt to evade this legal obligation to which they have
  explicitly agreed by manipulating territoriality. A remote control strate
 gy of “extra-territorialization” pushes border control functions hundreds 
 or even thousands of kilometers beyond the state’s territory. Simultaneous
 ly\, states restrict access to asylum and other rights enjoyed by virtue o
 f presence on a state’s territory\, by making micro-distinctions down to t
 he meter at the border line in a process of “hyper-territorialization.” Re
 fuge beyond Reach analyzes remote controls since the 1930s in Palestine\, 
 North America\, Europe\, and Australia to identify the origins of differen
 t forms of remote control\, explain how they work together as a system of 
 control\, and establish the conditions that enable or constrain them in pr
 actice. It argues that foreign policy issue linkages and transnational adv
 ocacy networks promoting a humanitarian norm that is less susceptible to t
 he legal manipulation of territoriality constrains remote controls more th
 an the law itself. The degree of constraint varies widely by the technique
  of remote control. FitzGerald engages fundamental theoretical questions a
 bout the extent to which norms and institutions shape state action\, the c
 ollision between sovereignty and universalist values\, and the shifting ar
 ticulation of governments\, territories\, and rights-bearing individuals.
