Conflicting Conceptualisations of Europeanisation: HUNGARY Country Report
Conflicting Conceptualisations of Europeanisation: HUNGARY Country Report

Umut Korkut | Glasgow Caledonian University

This report reviews the unfolding of the future of Europe and external migration related narratives in Hungary, and the liberal/conservative dilemmas that Hungarian politicians proposed since 2015. Its particular scope is the Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s speeches and how they were quoted by or referred to in the Hungarian media. The abrupt increase in the number of irregular migrant arrivals to Hungary prepared the conditions for Orbán to project the course that he foresaw for the conservative transformation for Hungary to transform Europe.

Reception Policies, Practices & Responses: Comparative Reception Policy Typology
Reception Policies, Practices & Responses: Comparative Reception Policy Typology

Alexander K. Nagel - Göttingen University | Prof. Ayhan Kaya - Bilgi University

In this comparative report we develop a typology of reception governance, which allows for a country comparative perspective on reception measures for refugees. The term “reception governance” is to comprise both reception policies (i.e. a system of principles to guide decisions), decision-making and actual practices. The main rationale for the construction of the typology is that reception governance does not constitute a policy field or domain…

Reception Policies, Practices & Responses: SYNTHESIS Report

Prof. Ayhan Kaya - Bilgi University | Alexander K. Nagel - Göttingen University

In recent years, the so called “refugee crisis” has triggered considerable policy change in many countries along the Eastern Mediterranean route. We understand reception as a hybrid policy field with a strong attachment to social policy. In many countries, welfare production used to be (or has become) a highly collaborative endeavour which spans different levels of political decision making (e.g. national, regional and municipal) and involves a high degree of subcontracting and public-private collaboration. The previously published 11 country reports…

Reception Policies, Practices & Responses: HUNGARY Country Report

Daniel Gyollai, Umut Korkut | Glasgow Caledonian University

This report shows how the inhuman border protection and protection policies of the Hungarian government have triggered an adverse refugee reception environment. This is despite very few numbers of refugees currently in the country and even minimal number of people in the current reception system. As we have raised in the previous WP2 Hungary Border Management country report,1 there are grave cases concerning the implementation of the EU directives affecting the delivery of refugee reception policies as well. Moreover…
