This report focuses on a less-researched topic, namely the integration of refugees and displaced populations in Iraq in the period 2011-2017. It elaborates on the extent to which policies, programs and practices at various local, regional and national levels are consistent with the country's general policy and integration plans and are compatible with the norms of international law concerning integration and human rights standards. The report also highlights the factors and reasons that impede the social integration of refugees and displaced populations into Iraqi society, and reflects the prevailing understanding of “integration” among decision-makers, local and regional stakeholders, and refugees.

This comparative report is based on the RESPOND country reports [deliverable D3.1] that discusses the developments regarding legislation, policy measures and practices on refugee protection, but most importantly the implementation aspect in ten countries covered by the project (Austria, Germany, Greece, Iraq, Italy, Lebanon, Poland, Sweden, Turkey and the United Kingdom) for the 2011-2019 period. This report aims to provide a comparative analysis of refugee protection, emphasising the implementation aspect as drawn from the experiences and perceptions of meso and micro level actors. In doing so, the report offers analytical insights for evaluating the implications of the dynamics of refugee protection, which has undergone many changes since 2011.

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…

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…

This report is a study of the process of receiving refugees and displaced people in Iraq, specifically in terms of Iraqi legislation and policies, and the their implementation in regard to institutions and actors involved in the refugee reception processes for the period of 2011-2017. It also aims at discovering the extent to which Iraqi legislations and policies have been adapted and harmonized in accordance with the spirit and provisions of the Iraqi constitution, the rules of international law with regard to reception conditions, and human rights standards…
