As a complex legal regime, asylum regime is consisted of multiple level laws, norms, regulations, institutions, and actors. This complexity leads to multifaceted interactions among different actors and situations where legal orders and norms may be overlapping, clashed, in competition or complementary to each other. Therefore, asylum regime can be considered as a semi-autonomous social field within the literature of legal pluralism, which allows us to analyze the overlapping different legal regimes in the same legal space. From this perspective, hotspots announced within the European Agenda on Migration in 2015 appear as legal spaces that are regulated in international, supranational, regional, national, and local levels, and that involve various institutions, authorities, and non-state structures. As a result of the EU policies and the involvement of EU agencies, the operational dimension of global legal pluralism became more apparent in the hotspots. Apart from the operational dimension, the hotspots carry importance for the spatial dimension of global legal pluralism through the mutual constitution of law and space. Therefore, this thesis focuses on the case of Moria hotspot in the Greek island of Lesvos from intersecting approaches of global legal pluralism and critical legal geography to comprehend the global legal pluralism emerging in the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) and its implications on the refugee protection in Greece.
