Option 1

 * Asylum in the United States
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article provides a concise and straightforward lead section. Looking at different headings, however, it does not provide much information on "U.S. government support after arrival", having only a paragraph, whereas "Unaccompanied Refugee Minors Program" extensively discusses what it sets out. There is a high number of different sources including university reviews, journals, etc. I did see some instances where the word "some advocates"; it would be helpful to clarify what this means and who these individuals are.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Empowerment
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article provides an overview of different aspects of empowerment. However, the section on economics is not substantive and does not discuss different approaches or debates that are relevant. The article does a great job at targeting underrepresented groups but there is not too much information present under each section. In terms of citations, most of the material comes from reports from organizations such as WHO but the author does include scholarly articles as well.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Right of asylum


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article provides an account on the role of different countries when it comes to refuge, primarily focusing on the US, France, and UK but does not extensively describe the history in the US or France, and the challenges the government and refugees face. Furthermore, the information is over 15 years old and the data is not relevant today. The article is also missing scholarly articles for citations, undermining its credibility.

 * This article provides three areas that have changed over time: “the appropriate response to politically deserving populations (responsiveness versus equity), the appropriate scope and duration of benefits, and inclusion through work”. The author also shows how the refugee policy implementation has created a partnership between the federal government, state governments, and local non-profit organizations. I chose this article because it provides who the actors are in the politics of refugee resettlement and how non-profit organizations operate in this politicized field.
