Governance of Migration in and through Crisis: A Comparative Report on RESPOND Research

Zeynep Sahin-Mencütek | Swedish Research Institute in Istanbul - Soner Barthoma | Uppsala University - N. Ela Gökalp-Aras | Swedish Research Institute in Istanbul

Based on the meta-analysis of thematic country and comparative reports produced in the EU Horizon 2020 RESPOND project, this report seeks to revisit multilevel governance as a theoretical framework in comparative migration research. Focusing on the period of 2011-2018 where the governance of migration has been very much affected by the ‘crisis’ climax, we question the adaptability of multilevel governance in describing main patterns in…

Refugee Protection Regimes: Comparative Report

Ela Gökalp Aras, Zeynep Şahin Mencütek - Swedish Research Institute in Istanbul | Evangelia Papatzani, Nadina Leivaditi, Electra Petracou - University of the Aegean

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.

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…
